Brandon Grajeda is an Associate Broker at Patino Real Estate. He is the team's go-to broker for first-time buyers, fixer-upper opportunities, and the Mesilla Park / NMSU-adjacent micro-markets. Patient, accessible, and famously responsive even on weekends.
Brandon Grajeda built his Patino Real Estate practice on the segment most agents avoid: first-time buyers. They take more education, more handholding, more late-night text messages. Brandon treats it as the most important work he does. Reviews consistently mention the same trait: "answered every question, no matter how dumb I felt asking it."
That patience plus deep knowledge of FHA financing, USDA rural eligibility (yes, parts of Doña Ana County qualify), and New Mexico down-payment assistance programs has made Brandon the team's specialist for buyers under $300K. He also handles fixer-upper and value-add purchases, working with the team's preferred contractors and inspectors to vet rehab math before clients write offers.
