Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Adds Significant Presence in Southern New Mexico With Affiliation of Steinborn & Associates Real Estate, the Area's Top Company in Overall Production

MADISON, N.J., March 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC, a Realogy (NYSE: RLGY) brand, announced today that Steinborn & Associates Real Estate, a company that has been a community leader for over 50 years, has affiliated with Better Homes and Gardens® Real Estate.  Now known as Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Steinborn & Associates, the firm is headquartered in Las Cruces, NM. 

The company is led by co-owners Amy and John Hummer, who acquired the firm in 2006.  In 2019, the company generated approximately 1,300 transactions equating to $244 million in sales volume prior to its affiliation, ranking it number one in overall production among all real estate companies in Southern New Mexico.

With three offices and 100 affiliated agents, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Steinborn & Associates serves the greater Las Cruces region, including the village of Mesilla and Santa Teresa, NM. Steinborn Property Management and Steinborn TCN Commercial Real Estate will continue to do business under their current names and are not part of this affiliation.

Home to New Mexico State University, White Sands Missile Range and thriving healthcare and agricultural industries, the area has received national and international attention via Spaceport America, the nation’s first purpose built commercial spaceport and home to Virgin Galactic.  The region, a popular destination for first-time homebuyers, families and retirees alike, has become a "bedroom" community to the adjacent and booming economy of El Paso.
