    About Kelly Taliaferro

    Hello, I look forward to meeting you! I grew up in sunny Irvine, California. In high school and at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, I played soccer, ran cross country and track, and enjoyed the outdoors. Teaching science to middle & high school students, coaching soccer, leading a chemical reconnaissance platoon for the Army, and taking adolescents backpacking were a few of my first jobs before we moved from the New England area to Albuquerque. While living in New York City, I also earned my Masters in curriculum and teaching at Columbia University. My husband, Hank, and I moved to Albuquerque in 2002 where he completed his residency in emergency medicine at University of New Mexico Hospital. After Hank finished his residency we just couldn't leave Albuquerque! Our family now includes two teenage boys, a dog, an ornery cat, and two snakes. We enjoy camping, hunting, skiing, & bird watching throughout the Land of Enchantment. When I am not selling houses, you can find me running in the foothills or hitting a hot yoga session. When we purchased our first home as newlyweds, I became curious about pursuing real estate as a profession. A year later, I had earned my real estate license and was busy helping others buy and sell their homes. Since 2004, I have sold hundreds of homes totaling to more than 100 million dollars of real estate. I enjoy working with all sorts of buyers and sellers, but I especially enjoy helping buyers looking for their forever, dream home and those who are purchasing their very first home. As for sellers, I really love tackling the challenge of making your home appeal to the most buyers through staging strategies, targeted marketing and proper pricing. As an experienced real estate investor, I am happy to analyze the market ensure my clients are making well-informed financial choices too. I utilize the latest technology to set my listings apart and to help my buyers find the perfect home for the right price. Whether you are a buyer, seller or investor, my goal is to help you find the right space and maximize your return on investment. I look forward to helping you with your real estate needs.

    Kelly has served both us and other family members. We have been served by Kelly in both the purchase and sale of homes. We wouldn't use anyone else at this point. She shows incredible patience, keeps us informed, and is an able negotiator. Having her services was worth every penny we paid.

    Kelly went above and beyond in helping us secure a home in our relocation to Albuquerque. She was so helpful in narrowing down what part of town we wanted to buy, discovering our needs, and guiding us to a fantastic home. When it came time to get a deal done, she was able to help us navigate a tight timeline and tough process. I could not recommend her more!

    Kelly was a pleasure to work with, very patient, knowledgable about neighborhoods and the market. We enjoyed touring Albuquerque with he as we visited several houses to narrow our search. She is well connected to the community both personally and professionally. We highly recommend Lucky Dog!

    Awesome realtor! Was helpful and reassuring throughout the process. Quick to answer all of our questions and concerns and up-to-date on all of the new sale techniques/applications available. Our home sold in just 3 weeks! And she got us into our new home in the same amount of time! Top-notch services!
