Hire Shell Goldman to sell your home. He is the ideal agent if you want top dollar in a short amount of time. When other agents told me not to sell and to rent ... Shell knew my home’s value and got it sold in just a few days! Best agent ever! It could not have been a better experience when selling my home. Shell was knowledgeable, trustworthy, and best of all ...I got top dollar (well over asking) in an extremely short amount of time. Working with Shell was ideal in every aspect of the sale of my home. He gave reliable advice, was extremely energetic, and the process was totally stress free! Shell also dedicated focused time and attention to my sale and gave me a lot of confidence that the best possible outcome would be achieved. All his predictions came to be just as he said they would

Shell Goldman is an incredible real estate agent. When I first came to Santa Fe I asked around about realtors, and several random people mentioned Shell. Turns out he is beloved by locals for good reason. He knows everyone, is very resourceful and his upbeat can-do attitude is infectious. I learned so much about Santa Fe while working with him and touring the neighborhoods. He took his mission to find me the perfect house very seriously and steered me clear of several unworkable options. His recommendations were so sound, I came to trust his judgment implicitly. He made the anxiety of a large purchase straightforward and easy. With the patience of a Buddha and the tenacity of a bulldog, he helped me find my dream casita. And he was truly such a joy to work with, I may have to figure out how to buy another property. I would highly recommend the Shell experience.

When I chose Shell Goldman for a realtor, I expected to meet someone who would help me search for real estate in Santa Fe and be someone to help “close the deal” when the right one came along. What I didn’t expect was to quickly make a friend who wanted to get to know me so he could find a property that would be the absolute ideal place. He constantly had my best interest in mind and always helped me stay focused on my goal. We had a long journey in our search and during that time period my needs changed. He never seemed to tire of my need to adjust. He just kept on looking and was always quick to find the latest developments and when the perfect place popped up he guided me through it all the way to closing and even after. I have never experienced this kind of service. I would trust him with any real estate needs.

Shell Goldman is, well, the "gold" standard when it comes to real estate agents in Santa Fe! The depth of his knowledge and understanding about buying and selling real estate is remarkable. We can't imagine anyone better to work with.
We purchased a house in Santa Fe in December from a distance, and Shell met and exceeded our every need. He answered or found answers to all of our questions, anticipated and handled potential issues, advised us on matters we hadn't even considered. He stayed on top of everything until escrow closed . . . and even after closing continued to engage and provide us with helpful, on-scene advice and counsel with a number of unanticipated post-closing tasks and issues that had to be addressed and worked out in a right away, in real time. Bravo, Shell!

Shell Goldman gets it done!
I've worked with Shell in both buying and selling a home, and his many working relationships with other realtors and people across the business helped both transactions go quickly, smoothly, and to my advantage.
Not only is Shell knowledgeable, connected, and strategic, he is also a true pleasure to work with. He has deep real estate experience and knows what's important. He's a great listener, and he easily understood my needs and desires in purchasing and selling my home. I always felt like a priority, from the initial conversation to closing.
I recommend Shell without reservation and wouldn't want to work with anyone else in Santa Fe!

My husband and I have been incredibly fortunate to work with Shell Goldman twice; buying a home in Santa Fe and selling a home in Los Alamos. He is patient, knowledgeable, honest and kind. He helped us negotiate a great price for the house we bought in Santa Fe and was very professional and patient with the often unpleasant and combative realtor representing the sellers. He also guided us through putting our home of many years in Los Alamos on the market and sold the home in less than 5 days for $121K over the asking price. We highly recommend Shell, he is a joy to work with

My historic home on the Eastside of Santa Fe was represented by my wonderful broker Shell Goldman. Selling my home of over 20 years was emotionally stressful, yet Shell was a constant source of reassurance, calm and clarity. His experience, knowledge of the market and interpersonal communication skills really made the difference. On a scale of 1-5, I would give Shell a10 !! I recommend him wholeheartedly
