Santa Fe Realty Partners Welcomes Brad Bealmear

I seek to provide only one thing, and that is my clients' complete contentment. Santa Fe is one of the world's unique real estate marketplaces. Buyers and sellers who are entering this market are best served by a professional who is impeccable in local resources and knowledge - integrated and comfortable with this one-of-a-kind city and able to dispatch each transaction quickly and to the very greatest effect for the client. And of course, it is incredibly helpful to be a part of the hottest new company in area real estate - Santa Fe Realty Partners.

My great-grandparents homesteaded on the Llano Estacado in the early 1900's, making me a fourth-generation New Mexican. After growing up in Portales I attended photography school in California and it was while studying the images and writings of Weston, Adams, Strand and others that I fell in love from afar with the northern areas of my home state. In the late 70's - early 80's I had a small studio in Santa Fe. There I was married and soon moved my family to New York City. True, that was quite a change, but all advertising photographers wonder how they will do in New York. We ended up staying for 22 years, though Santa Fe was always in our hearts and we visited whenever possible.

In New York I was hired to set up and head the Tiffany & Co. studio on the top floor of their Fifth-Avenue headquarters, producing photography for magazine ads and over fifty catalogs. I was there for five years and then went on to photograph for Avon, Macy's, Sotheby's Auction House and numerous other jewelry and luxury goods clients.

Those were interesting times, but frankly my wife Holly and I could not wait to get back to Santa Fe. Once the World Trade Center was removed from our living room view we began to feel our move was becoming imminent. I am proud of my years in Manhattan, and although it has its problems, I hope the rest of the world will eventually achieve that city's genial diversity. There are other places also having a kaleidoscope of resident cultures respecting one another and thriving marvelously - and Santa Fe is right at the head of the list.

These days my photography is focused (so to speak) on super-detailed digital images of New Mexican architecture, and these images are being combined with my national advertising experience to provide Santa Fe property sellers with a unique high-end marketing style. As a Santa Fe home and investment property owner myself, it's great to be able to turn my energies toward the joining of what I consider the most precious jewels of all - those enchanted homes glowing contentedly under the sweet pinon smoke and flaming stars of Santa Fe - and the lucky people who so very much appreciate them.
