Adrienne is a breath of fresh air in the world of real estate, excited and inspired to guide clients on their journey to ownership and stewardship of the land. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, she has resided in Santa Fe, NM for 20 years, and has a deep love for the delicate and resilient interwoven communities, habitats and ecosystems of the high desert landscape that she calls home.
The foundation of Adrienne's outlook on life and work is her background in sustainability, conservation studies, and human wellness. In college, she studied permaculture, ethnobotany and ecology through internships, course work and field studies that included working for the National Park Service at Point Reyes National Seashore & Bandelier National Monuments, studying in a field station in the Rainforests of Nicaragua, working and living in eco-villages and farms in New Mexico and Washington. Her career began working in communications for sustainability and social justice related campaigns, while also cultivating her curiosity for healing by studying integrative wellness and teaching about it in various forms to youth and families.
The well being of people and the planet have long been her beacons, and she brings their light to all of her work, real estate and otherwise.
Her professional credentials include a BA in Sustainability Studies & Multimedia Communications, a Master's in Education, and many certificates in health and wellness topics. She has over 15 years of professional experience serving New Mexico's diverse communities with organizations in the non-profit, government, and private sectors, including the Santa Fe Housing Action Coalition, Sol Sundays, University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center's Office for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Santa Fe Indian School, New Mexico Department of Health's Healthy Kids Healthy Childcare Program, New Energy Economy, and more.
Her prior experience has given Adrienne great sensitivity to the complexity of the relationships between people, cultures and place in New Mexico. She honors and values sacred, historic, ancestral, currently or previously tribally-governed or generationally family-owned lands. She also has the unique perspective of relating to clients in this niche from her family’s generational background in farm, ranch, residential and commercial property development and management. Additionally, she has renovated multiple properties in New Mexico, with permaculture inspired approaches.
Adrienne delights in assessing clients’ unique needs and values, and supporting them in finding the right property or home. Her passion is connecting true stewards with their very own piece of land, to live in the right relationship with place and life, human and wild.

After working together on a meaningful home sale I was able to witness her rare ability to show up with all of her skills for a single project. She is extremely hard working, clear in her goals and communication and has an inherent sensitivity that she brings to each task and collaboration. My home sale was as smooth and successful as it was because of Adrienne. She is a delight to work with, she is passionate and highly intelligent. She is going to do great things. I can’t wait to work together again!”

“Adrienne was absolutely incredible to work with throughout the entire transaction. My business partner, Gabriel Traister, and I make up The Walking Rain Group, and this is not to be boisterous. We did $23 million last year in sales, and $22 million the previous year, and I can honestly say, this is definitely up with the top three transactions we have done which were this smooth and drama-free. I know Adrienne is definitely going to do well in this business. These transactions take teamwork from all sides, and there are a lot of brokers who do not realize that. This was a wonderful experience, and I wanted to share these accolades with you. We definitely look forward to working with Adrienne again.”

“I have known Adrienne for the past 7 years and have been so impressed with not only who she is as an individual, but also as a business woman, and now Realtor. Although newer to the business as an associate broker, Adrienne has had years of experience within the Real Estate field personally buying and selling property. In fact this is how I met her. Her personal experience set her up nicely to then get her own license and look after not only her own transactions, but those of others as well. Adrienne is a kind, creative, intuitive and brilliant woman. I could not recommend anyone more highly, and honestly, referrals such as this, I take extremely seriously. I have been in the business almost 40 years and have not been as impressed with another broker as I am with Adrienne. She is detailed, conscientious and will oversee all details of a transaction in the most professional manner. I highly recommend Adrienne!”
