All about Rene Kessel

Having called New Mexico home for the past 25+ years, I truly believe there’s no better place in the world to live than the Land of Enchantment.

Real estate has been a significant part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a young girl, my dad would buy and refurbish bank-owned properties before it was trendy. I spent every weekend working alongside him—he was a general contractor, and I helped with everything from re-roofing homes and replacing water heaters to painting, tiling, and various plumbing jobs (my dad often jokes that I’m fearless). Looking back, I am thankful for this early experience, as it now translates to the inspection process during a buying or selling experience. It's safe to say I know what to look for and how to advise my clients!

I live in Sandia Heights and enjoy being actively involved in my neighborhood and spending time with my lovely neighbors. When I have free time, you’ll find me working on a home improvement project around the house. 

Before becoming a REALTOR® and most recently, the only Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE®) in New Mexico, I was a Montessori teacher while my children were young. As they grew, so did my passion for real estate. The challenge and enjoyment I once found in shaping young minds evolved into a deep love for buying and selling homes. Many of my past clients have become friends who still greet me with a warm hug. If you're ready for your next real estate journey, I'd love to support you along the way. Let's connect!
