A Las Cruces family brokerage that decided to do more.

Patino Real Estate is a Las Cruces, NM real estate firm built around one principle: representation that actually represents the client. We're a multi-broker family team, not a single agent with a logo, and not a national franchise running off a template. Every transaction goes through brokers who know Las Cruces by name, by neighborhood, by builder, and by the actual conditions in this market.

The firm is led by Qualifying Broker Manny Patino, a listing and new home expert who earned NAHB Rookie Sales Professional of the Year (The Nationals 2020) selling new construction before building this brokerage. Together with Associate Brokers Gilbert Patino (buyer representation and construction), Brandon Grajeda (creative financing and first-time buyers), Brian Salazar (buyer representation and sales), and Erika Melissa Moya (buyer representation and land), plus preferred lender Jeff Sauer, Patino covers every part of a Las Cruces real estate transaction in-house.

What separates us in Las Cruces is depth across every active builder. Most agents specialize in one or two builders. We've represented buyers at every active production builder in the city, plus custom builds. The Builder Guide we publish (free PDF download on the homepage) is the most comprehensive Las Cruces builder reference in print or online, because we live in those communities every week.

Patino was built to prove a point: that a Las Cruces brokerage can give its clients national-level marketing and give its agents a real path to ownership at the same time. That is why we invest in the technology, training, and systems most local firms never touch, and why the agents who join us tend to stay.

For other brokers, we run Patino Academy, a real estate training program that shares what works: listing strategy, buyer representation, new construction, negotiation, contract review, and the systems that turn a part-time agent into a full-time producer. Direct mentorship from a Qualifying Broker.

Multiple Brokers, One Las Cruces Family.

Ten licensed brokers. Real specialties. One family-led firm. Plus a preferred lender. Every Patino client gets matched with the right specialist for their actual situation, not whoever picks up the phone.

Four reasons clients keep choosing Patino.

01

A Qualifying Broker, on every deal

The Qualifying Broker is the highest license rank in NM, the broker legally responsible for the entire firm. Most LC agents work UNDER one. With Patino, you're working with one.

02

Multi-broker depth

Ten licensed brokers, each with a specialty. A QB for listings + new homes, a construction specialist, a creative-finance specialist, two buyer specialists, plus a preferred lender. Every situation gets the right person.

03

Every active builder

every active Las Cruces builder, plus custom builders. We've closed buyer-side at all of them.

04

New-home specialists

We don't dabble in new construction, we specialize in it: contracts, walk-throughs, builder negotiations, and punch lists on every active Las Cruces community.

Thinking about where your career could actually go?

Patino is not only where we serve clients. It is a brokerage we built for agents who are tired of paying for tools they never get, splits that never end, and a broker they never see. Here is what changes the day you join us.

Keep what you earn

85/15 to a $12,000 cap, then you keep 100% for the rest of your year. No desk fees, no monthly tech fees, no franchise cut.

Marketing that runs itself

A website we build and rank for you, an AI assistant that answers your buyers at 11pm, and a weekly listing email to your whole network, sent automatically.

Trained by a national award winner

Manny earned the NAHB Silver Award, Rookie Sales Professional of the Year (The Nationals 2020), selling new construction. He teaches you new-home sales, builder relationships, objections, and closing, personally.

Own a piece of the upside

Bring a producing agent and earn 30% of their company dollar, up to $3,600 a year each. One tier, no downline games. Founding seats are limited and lock for life.

20 founding seats per market. When they are gone, they are gone.
