What do Clients Say?

I bought my Santa Fe home ten years ago with Emily’s help and did extensive renovation on it. When I decided to relocate, I used her services again to sell the property. Each experience had its pitfalls that she expertly guided us through. She is extraordinarily hard-working, resourceful, and service-oriented. She was able to estimate the worth of the home based on a variety of factors that she tracks; it is not a quick opinion though she can calculate it rapidly. Then she was indefatigable in getting the right deal and pursuing all the details. That is important, since closing can have quite a few slippages and surprises if the real estate agent does not have solid relationships with the title company and a head for detail. Emily has both those aspects and so we crossed the finish line. At every juncture, she worked to reduce my stress — this was critical as I pursued a very significant relocation while navigating issues with my own health. She is a full-service broker who delivers on her promises.

Emily helped us buy and sell our home in Eldorado/ Santa Fe. She patiently helped us find and then brilliantly negotiate for the purchase of our house. Sadly we had to leave Santa Fe much earlier than anticipated. Emily was amazing in guiding us through the process of selling our property. She evaluated the market and timing correctly, negotiated appropriately on our behalf and sold the house for us within a short period of time. Emily has lived and sold homes in Santa Fe for many years. She deeply loves this town and knows the ins and outs of the Santa Fe real estate landscape. If we are ever lucky enough to return to Santa Fe I know who I’m going to call.

Emily is knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. She accurately accessed my property, made helpful suggestions on preparing it for sale, and developed an extremely successful marketing strategy. My house sold for more than I expected due to her efforts. She was supportive before, during, and after the sale. She works hard for her clients and goes beyond the standard norm of service. I would recommend her without reservation.

Emily has gone above and beyond for us! She took the time to listen to what we want in life and where we see our future to help us find our home. She was able to work with us when we were living out of state and was very flexible with our busy schedules. Emily has continued to help us pursue our future dreams and we can’t be more grateful to work with her!

Emily goes above and beyond for her clients. She has hired me to energy clear a couple of her properties that were troublesome. I enjoyed working with her and was impressed by her willingness to do "what it takes" to get her properties under contract. She's a true professional.

About Emily

Smart. Strategic. AI-Fueled — At Your Service

Luxury real estate in Santa Fe is not simply about property.
It’s about lifestyle, timing, identity—and understanding how all three intersect.

Emily Medvec is a real estate professional and consultant whose work is shaped by decades of experience across two distinct yet connected worlds: the advertising global corporations and the political economic landscape of Washington, D.C., and now more than thirty years of living within the cultural and architectural fabric of Santa Fe. She brings both perspective and place into every client relationship.Her unique unique background is not something she references—it is something she applies. It informs how she interprets market behavior, how she positions a property, and how she recognizes opportunity with a level of nuance that comes from both study and experience. She doesn’t approach the market at the surface level or only the data level.

She looks for patterns, timing, and underlying behavior—connecting national trends to Santa Fe’s local rhythm, and then translating that into clear, thoughtful strategy for her clients.

Emily’s primary focus is on luxury properties and relocation clients—those seeking a lifestyle shift, a second home, or a more intentional way of living in Santa Fe. Having made that transition herself—from decades in Washington, D.C. to a long-time adobe home just minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza—she understands both the emotional and strategic sides of the move.

Emily's professional work aims to blend creative positioning, digital marketing, and AI-fueled insight—not as buzzwords, but as proven tools to better understand opportunity, shape perception, and create both a meaningful and financial advantage. Every home, every client, and every moment in the market is different. She leans into that complexity rather than simplifying it.

For luxury sellers, this means a thoughtful, highly curated approach to positioning. Beyond exposure, Emily focuses on how a home is understood—visually, emotionally, and strategically—so it resonates with the right buyer in a way that feels both natural and compelling.

For sellers, her approach is about positioning, not just presence—understanding how a home is experienced, how it is seen, and how to connect it with the right buyer in a way that feels both natural and compelling.

Today, her creativity and results reflects that integration—blending strategic thinking, creative storytelling, and AI-fueled insight to create clarity and a bold advantage for her clients.

For luxury relocation buyers, her perspective is equally valuable. Having made the transition herself (before the internet)—from Capitol Hill to a quiet adobe home just minutes from the Santa Fe Plaza—she understands that a move here is not only geographic, but deeply personal and beyond a change for the better. Whether a primary residence or a co-primary second home, she helps clients align their lifestyle vision with a clear and informed acquisition strategy.

Her approach is grounded in listening, refined through experience, and guided by a commitment to thoughtful solutions that respect both time and resources. She brings a calm, informed presence to each relationship—one that allows clients to move forward with clarity and confidence.

For Buyers, she brings a pathway to solutions to what can often feel complex—helping buyers them see options, understand timing, and move forward with confidence rather than reaction.

What sets Emily apart today is not just what she does, but how she thinks.

She thinks in connections, not silos.
In patterns, not isolated data.
In possibilities, not constraints.

She listens closely—because often what matters most isn’t said first.
She values clarity over urgency.
And she believes the best outcomes come from understanding the full picture, not reacting to headlines.

Behind the scenes, Emily continues to evolve her practice by adapting to the rapid real estate brokerage brand consolidations, new MLS and NAR rule changes and real estate portal innovations.  By thinking about what’s next— she is exploring new technologies, integrating AI in thoughtful ways, and developing new approaches that help her clients not only stay ahead of change and benefit by it, rather than respond to it.

On a personal level, she remains deeply connected to Santa Fe—its incredible history, its evolving multi-cultural fabric, and its unique sense of place and endless blue skies. She spends time creating images and writing stories, exploring new home technologies for both medical care and aging in place, and engaging with other entrepreneurs for inspiration and exchange of ideas. She is grateful to live in Santa Fe and the gift of sharing her life with her recently retired spouse, Dr. Elizabeth Stirling.

In summary, Emily's work—and her curious perspective—are shaped by time, place, and a continual commitment to learning.  Because in a market like Santa Fe, what matters most is not just what is visible— but how you actually feel when you are here.
