Desert Meadows Real Estate

Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
I’m Heather Lamkin, Owner & Broker of Desert Meadows Real Estate, and I’ve proudly served New Mexico real estate clients for 18 years.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping buyers, sellers, families, investors, and individuals navigate one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. My experience has given me an in-depth understanding of the New Mexico real estate market, from pricing and negotiations to marketing, contracts, inspections, and everything in between.

I specialize in helping clients throughout New Mexico, with particular expertise in the East Mountains, including Cedar Crest, Sandia Park, Tijeras, Edgewood, and surrounding communities. I understand what makes these communities unique and what it takes to effectively market and sell properties in these markets.

As a broker and business owner, I believe my clients deserve more than simply putting a property in the MLS and waiting for a buyer. I take a proactive, strategic approach to real estate and utilize cutting-edge marketing techniques, including digital advertising, social media, targeted online marketing, professional photography, and AI-powered marketing strategies designed to get properties in front of the right audience.

For sellers, my goal is to maximize exposure, create strong interest, and position your property to achieve the best possible outcome based on the market and your individual goals. For buyers, I provide knowledgeable guidance, strong negotiation, and personalized service throughout the entire process.

After 18 years in this business, I know that successful real estate is about much more than transactions. It’s about communication, trust, attention to detail, market knowledge, and having an experienced professional who will advocate for you from beginning to end.

At Desert Meadows Real Estate, I’m committed to providing the experience of a seasoned broker with the personalized service of a local real estate professional. Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or simply trying to understand your options, I’m here to help you make informed decisions and navigate the New Mexico real estate market with confidence.

If you’re looking for an experienced New Mexico Realtor and Broker who combines local market knowledge with innovative, technology-driven marketing, I would love the opportunity to work with you.

We are so grateful that we chose to work with Heather on the sale of our home. She was incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process, especially during negotiations, and always made sure we understood our options and felt confident in our decisions.
Communication was outstanding—she was responsive, professional, and available whenever we had questions or concerns. When our initial sale unexpectedly fell through right before closing, she acted quickly to get our home back on the market. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, we were under contract again in no time, and the second offer ended up being an even better deal than the first.
Selling a home can be stressful, but Heather made the process as smooth as possible. We are so grateful for her dedication, persistence, and guidance, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Heather was fantastic throughout our home-buying journey. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and always available to answer our questions. From searching for the right home to navigating inspections, negotiations, and closing, she made the entire process smooth and much less stressful. We always felt that she had our best interests in mind and genuinely cared about helping us find the right home. We couldn't be happier with our purchase and highly recommend Heather to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

I connected with Heather through social media several years ago in hopes she would assist in locating the perfect home in Rio Rancho NM.
That connection did lead to a few things…..
1. Buyer - purchased an incredible ranch style home. 2019
2. Buyer (Mom) - assisted my mom in purchasing her forever home with an incredible view. 2021
3. Seller - sold land in Santa Fe County for me. 2025

Each deal had its own unique quirks and she was professional, understanding and quick to find solutions.

Heather is my go to person for any real estate deals as a buyer and/or seller.
