From the Owner
Santa Fe has been a part of my life for almost three decades. Like many, I was captivated upon my first visit by its mixture of cultures, art, music and high desert beauty. I owned property here several years before becoming a full-time resident and therefore know the joy and worry of second home ownership. In launching Essential Home, my goal is to care for your home the same way I would care for my own and to bring you the added benefit of concierge services that can make your life a bit more carefree when you’re in town.
I would love to have your business.
