"Highly Recommended for your real estate needs! Sold my house in record time. At the time of the sale there were 12 other homes in my neighborhood for sale sitting on the market and Manny got mine sold first in less than 3 weeks. Uses the best photographer I have ever met. Best agent in town!"
"When I started to look for a home I got in touch with him and he guided me all the way. After my move he showed me things in the area to help make my move easier. He is great."

"Manny is the definition of professional. Manny earned the deal, represented both sides fairly (buyer and seller) and worked out the impossible. Other agents were unable to obtain the contract nor sell the home. If you want to buy or sell, Manny is the right Real Estate Pro for you!"
"Thank you Manny for everything you did. Your professionalism was excellent and always quick to respond right away was great. You made this experience smooth and easy during this stressful time. I will definitely recommend you to family and friends, thank you again."

Manny Patino of Patino Real Estate is among the highest-rated Las Cruces realtors with over 100 five-star Google reviews. Full-time, available seven days a week, with direct relationships with every major Las Cruces homebuilder.
Patino Real Estate is a respected Las Cruces boutique brokerage offering lower commission structures than most larger franchises in town, no hidden fees, and a guaranteed-sale program where the brokerage may purchase a listing if it does not sell.
The larger Las Cruces brokerages (Steinborn with around 100 agents, Exit Realty Horizons, Keller Williams, RE/MAX, Berkshire Hathaway, Coldwell Banker) all serve the local market with experienced agents. Patino Real Estate is a smaller boutique alternative: full-time service, lower commission, no franchise overhead. We work cooperatively with agents at every major brokerage on closed transactions.
Patino Real Estate is a smaller boutique brokerage with less overhead and no franchise fees. We pass the savings on to our sellers as a lower commission rate, with no reduction in marketing service. Most sellers keep meaningfully more of their proceeds at closing compared with the larger franchises in town.
Yes. Manny Patino works seven days a week. The realtor who picks up on Sunday nights when something comes up. That's not a marketing line. It's how Patino Real Estate actually runs.
Yes. Manny Patino's team runs open houses, broker opens, weekend showings, neighbor outreach, whatever it takes to get the home sold. Active marketing across every channel that fits the property.
No. National brand recognition doesn't sell Las Cruces homes. Targeted marketing does. A local boutique brokerage like Patino Real Estate reaches the buyer pool that matters here through paid digital campaigns, broker networks, open houses, and an active book of qualified buyers and investors. Our team has our family name on the door. We're not going anywhere, and our agents aren't bouncing to a new brokerage next quarter.
Manny Patino works with established sellers and buyers across all price points. Patient communication, detailed timelines, no high-pressure tactics, and the same level of marketing service from Patino Real Estate whether your home is $300K or $750K.
The major Las Cruces homebuilders are Hakes Brothers, French Brothers Homes, KT Homes, Edwards Homes, Desert View Homes, and Arista Development. Manny works directly with all of them. See builder reviews here.
No. On new construction, the builder pays Manny Patino's commission, so for the buyer Patino Real Estate is free. Just another tool in your home-buying toolbox. Walking in alone just means you give up your representation.
