Kathleen Tomlinson with Coldwell Banker Legacy

Kathleen Tomlinson with Coldwell Banker Legacy A Multi-Million Dollar producing Realtor at Coldwell Banker Legacy, Specializing in Luxury Home Sales I am a proud native of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

I graduated from Eldorado High School and continued my education at the University of New Mexico where I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Sociology. I have a strong background in Customer Service. I managed many sales teams in a Corporate Environment for many years. Yet my passion all along was in Real Estate. I learned from a young age what it meant to own your own rental properties. I grew up in

a family that owned several and I painted many apartments and houses to earn some income while attending Junior High and High School. I left Corporate and in 2007 I decided to go to Real Estate School and obtain my license. That was the best decision I ever made! I owned a few rental properties myself but the biggest joy I get is working with Sellers and Buyers in the Residential market. I have learned through my years in Real Estate that every sale is different, and my client’s needs are different. No matter what the Sales price of the home my clients receive the same exceptional service from me. My experience has given me a wide variety of knowledge in handling different sales. Of course, I learn something new every day, yet I take great pride in having a large catalog of knowledge. In addition, being a native of New Mexico I know the market in the different counties in the state. I have handled multiple transactions for both Buyers and Sellers in the different areas
Today I am a proud Multi-Million Dollar producer with Coldwell Banker Legacy. I am an expert in a variety of Residential Sales, Estates, Luxury Homes, Investment Properties, Distressed Properties, Land. You may contact me anytime. I look forward to your business!

How I started baking and cooking.....

When I was around 5 years old, every weekend I would climb up on the counter and cook my Mom and Dad breakfast. My parents would tell me and others what a wonderful cook I was. My Dad commented years later that he hadn't eaten so many shells in his eggs as he did when I began making them breakfast😂

Later I graduated in my cooking skills and my Mom and Dad bought me an Easy Bake Oven. I do have to admit that is when I realized I had a talent for baking. My family couldn't wait to see what bake goods I would be making in my Easy Bake Oven. It actually did a pretty good job of baking some of my favorites back then. I even had a recipe to make soft pretzels in it

One Christmas my Mom and Dad bought me the Betty Crocker Cookbook that I still refer to to this day for recipes. Through the years I would have dinner ready for my folks when they got home from work and my brother and I were home from school. I began collecting cherished recipes that had been passed down through the family. I was even able to get family recipes from our neighbors and friends through the years. Still to this day I love to bake and cook. It's a time I can relax and enjoy the many wonderful smells of the kitchen!

Evaluating Storage Space When Touring Homes
Storage is rarely the first priority for buyers touring a home, and it shouldn't be the first thing they consider. Kitchens and floor plans usually command the most attention, while storage receives far less notice. But a home that looks spacious during a showing can feel cramped once the boxes are unpacked.
Inspect...

Storage often gets overlooked during a home tour. Here's what to check in closets, the kitchen, the garage, and other hidden corners before you make an offer.

How to Prepare Your Home for a Summer Open House
A summer open house asks more of a home than people realize.
Buyers may arrive warm from the car, distracted by weekend plans, or already tired from seeing other houses. They arn't always walking in with a blank slate. The house has to win a little patience from them.
That doesn't mean every room needs...

Summer open houses bring heat, glare, and quick first impressions. Here's how to help your home feel comfortable before buyers start looking closely.

How to Improve Your Home's Outdoor Lighting
Most people don't think much about outdoor lighting until something feels off. The front walk is hard to see, or the porch feels dim. The backyard is pleasant during the day, then disappears once the sun goes down.
Small changes can help more than a full redesign. The point is not to make everything...

Better outdoor lighting can make your home feel safer, warmer, and easier to enjoy. Start with the areas people actually use after dark.

Why Commute Times Matter More Than You Think
Commute time is one of those things buyers tend to round down in their heads.
Forty minutes becomes "about half an hour." A route with three bad intersections becomes "not too bad." A home that's farther out starts to feel reasonable after you've seen the kitchen, the yard, or the extra bedroom you...

A commute can seem simple during a home search, but daily routines tell a different story. Here's what buyers may want to test first.

What Sellers Should Know About Buyer Requests After an Inspection
A clean inspection report is rare. Even homes in excellent condition tend to generate a list, sometimes a short one, sometimes several pages long, and how you handle what comes back can shape the rest of the transaction. Buyers aren't trying to nickel-and-dime you when they ask for repairs or credits....

Simple Ways To Make Your Laundry Area More Functional
Laundry rooms rarely get the same attention as kitchens, bathrooms, or living areas. They're often squeezed into whatever space was left over: a hallway closet, a basement corner, a mudroom, or the pass-through from the garage.
Still, this small area can affect daily routines more than people realize....

A laundry area doesn't need to be large to work better. These simple updates can make washing, folding, and storage feel less chaotic.
