I've been in the industry for 12 years and being able to help people find a home, finance a home, with one company while saving money and time is such a great reward for me.I'm always trying to find ways to be able to offer MORE to my customers and the best way I've been able to do this is by being more than a just a realtor. You see my company offers financing as well. What this means to my clients is that they save $$$$! They know that along with having the knowledge and expertise in real estate we also know the mortgage industry (in my opinion all agents should know this but few actually do). So when you are shopping for a mortgage we are there to make sure you get the lowest rate and closing costs..GUARANTEED! We help you with the negotiating...which in one example saved my customer over $3,000 in closing costs! This would not have happened with another real estate firm.In my opinion, It's not about me...It's about you!!Warm Regards,Walt Vieira

" My wife and I were new to the Albuquerque area. Walt took a great deal of time getting us familiar with the area. He provided accurate information and good advice regarding the different homes we were interested in. He was very helpful with getting us settled in to the community after the sale.
Walt is very customer oriented and looks out for the the customer's best interest. He's all about customer service before, during, and after the sale. He's the first person I would call to sell my current home or purchase a new home.
Thank you,
John"

"Working with Walt was a great experience. He has patience and time to sit and talk with you to get an idea of the whole picture of the needs you are trying to meet. I refinanced my home and saved on Closing Costs, my rate was reduced, and he saved me over $300.00 on my payment. He helped save my home when I was in difficult times and not sure I was going to be able to keep making the high payment on my home. Thank you Walt, for helping me out and making sure everything went smooth right from the beginning. It was helpful that I knew every step of the way what was happening on my loan. I recommend Walt for all your Mortgage Needs. He is the Best....."

"Working with Walt was a great experience. We love our new house and would not have been able to afford it without Walt's help. His service was incredible, he kept us up to date every step of the way and was always available for our questions. With Walt's help we were able to save on closing costs and negotiate important issues on our contract. We could not have been more pleased with our buying and financing experience.

Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
I'm a bit different then other agents. My company offers both real estate and mortgage services which means...the consumer cant lose!..I had a customer that I represented in the selling of their home. They were buying a new home from a large builder and were 45 days away from their home being ready to move into when I listed their home. I sold their home in 13 days!! All is well right?? Wrong!.. My customer was obtaining their financing for their new home with a large lender and they found out that they were going to have to come out of pocket with an additional $3,000 that they didn't have.. Being that I offer mortgage financing I reviewed their closing cost estimate and new that they were not getting the best rate or the lowest closing costs..Long story short...The customer didn't have to come in with $3,000...in fact they got money back at closing AND they got a lower rate with lower payments..I do this all the time for my clients and that's what differentiates me from the competition.
