Get to Know Deb Hurt
– Before becoming a REALTOR, I worked for over 20 years as a social worker and 10 years as a Holistic Health Educator. A home is a holistic system; a mini ecosystem for its residents. Environmental issues and energy efficiency continue to become more important every day. The NAR GREEN Designation adds value for my clients by enabling me to promote features that might otherwise be ignored or misunderstood while helping them find the home of their dreams.
I believe that
Small is beautiful---and it uses less resources The "greenest" house is the one that is already built Every existing house can be made more energy efficient and usually at far less cost in both money and embodied energy than new construction Affordable and inexpensive changes can reap big energy savings Everyone deserves a safe, affordable home, be it ever so humble (on that subjct PLEASE SEE Make It Right) Mature neighborhoods can be revitalized without being gentrified I operate my life and my business in accordance with the Four Agreements1. Be impeccable with your word
2. Don't take anything personally
3. Don't make assumptions
4. Always do your best.

I specialize in residential resale in the Albuquerque metropolitan areas. I work with home buyers and sellers who are often attracted to mature neighborhoods because of their convenience, established ammenities and sense of community. Mature adults who are downsizing and looking for smaller homes in mature neighborhoods find that I can usually help them find exactly what they are looking for.
A home is a holistic system, a mini ecosystem for its residents and thinking of it in terms of "cradle to cradle" instead of "cradle to grave" provides immense opportunities for sustainable living.
