Manny Patino is the Qualifying Broker at Patino Real Estate and the recognized Las Cruces New Home Expert. He leads the multi-broker family team and personally tracks every active builder community in Doña Ana County.
Manny Patino has built Patino Real Estate into one of the most active multi-broker family teams in Las Cruces, NM. As Qualifying Broker, Manny is responsible for the brokerage's compliance, training, and overall direction, while still personally handling listings and high-stakes new construction representation throughout Doña Ana County.
His specialty is the intersection most agents avoid: new construction buyer representation. While most Las Cruces agents send their clients into builder sales offices alone (often because they don't understand builder contracts), Manny built his practice around being in the room. That expertise is why Patino Real Estate has the deepest active relationships with Hakes Brothers, French Brothers, KT Homes, Edwards Homes, and Desert View Homes of any team in the market.
On the listing side, Manny's 19-day average days on market (Q1 2026) is roughly half the Las Cruces market average of 47 days. The difference is preparation: accurate pricing, professional photography, drone, social media distribution beyond just MLS, and a reputation that makes other agents want to bring their buyers first.

Manny is a New Mexico State University alum and a born-and-raised Las Crucen. He has lived through every market cycle this town has seen since the early 2000s. The depth of local knowledge is not a marketing claim — it is decades of school carpools, Friday night football games, friends building businesses on Main Street, and a network of relationships that makes a multi-broker family team possible in the first place.
Patino AcademyManny founded the internal Patino Academy training program to make every Patino broker performing at the top of the market on day one. New brokers go through builder community tours, contract walk-throughs, listing presentation training, and shadowed showings before ever taking a solo client. It is why every Patino broker, not just Manny, carries a 4.9+ rating.

"Listed with Manny after my last agent had my house sit for 90 days. Patino sold it in 11 days at full asking. He earned every cent."
"Manny saved us about $9,000 in upgrade negotiations at the Hakes Brothers sales office. His service was completely free to us as buyers."
