Santa Fe Real Estate Agent
Marissa Ruyle
Hello, I’m Marissa
I’m a Santa Fe native with a lifelong connection to our community, which allows me to guide buyers and sellers with local insight and a thoughtful, client-first approach. My background in construction and hospitality gives me a trained eye for quality, value, and long-term performance—helping buyers identify well-built homes and smart investments, and helping sellers position their properties to stand out in the market. Combined with a deep passion for real estate and my hometown, this perspective enables me to deliver personalized, informed guidance and exceptional service at every stage of the Santa Fe real estate process.
When I’m not helping clients sell or find their perfect Santa Fe home, you can find me enjoying the outdoors with my husband, Sam, and our son, Charlie.
Gracias/ Thank you,
Marissa Ruyle

Happy Clients Testimonials
★★★★★
"Marissa was such a pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable and responsive. She knows the local market very well and helped us price our home accordingly so that it sold in just a week. She anticipated issues and helped us address things prior to listing so everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend her. She is just awesome."

"Could not be happier about our experience with Marissa. She was a patient and passionate supporter throughout the whole process, and not only do we love our new home, but we also loved the experience of finding it."

★★★★★
"Not long after meeting Marissa, I recognized that she is genuinely kind, intelligent, and personable. Throughout our journey with her, she was on point: responsive, informative, engaged, and determined to help us find the right property given our objectives. With the help of her capable assistant, she proactively orchestrated all aspects of a transaction that included working with an HOA board to get approval for installation of an A/C condenser as a condition to close while working within a short timeframe to close (3 weeks). My wife and I are always happy to pay for quality service and value. Marissa delivered and earned our respect, trust, friendship, and all five stars by the time we closed."

“Marissa is a true professional and is lovely to work with. I would eagerly recommend her to anyone looking for the BEST realtor in Santa Fe.”
“If you are serious about buying in Santa Fe, call Marissa! She is a native Santa Fean, and her knowledge of the city is truly impressive. She has a heart for the city, and as her client, I received the benefit of her longstanding relationships with local contractors, the Escrow and Title company, the City of Santa Fe – the list goes on. She is knowledgeable about neighborhoods, schools, the specific homebuilding practices of adobe and other homes, contracts, and the closing process. Although we are seasoned homebuyers, this was our first home in Santa Fe. Marissa walked us through every step and was patient with the myriad of questions we had about maintaining a 100-year-old adobe home. (She is especially knowledgeable about roofing and drainage.).”

“I found Marissa to be very strategic, loyal and conscientious, motivated, and she clearly cared greatly about our property and overall success. I can unequivocally say that Marissa has been the type of employee that one can build a successful organization around, and I truly appreciated all she did for us.”
“Marissa’s efforts, knowledge, and technical savvy (especially in relation to all things e-commerce), enabled us to complete a significant rebound over the following three years.
Marissa was able to recapture several lost group relationships and, in particular, spent considerable time and effort helping to recreate our website, e-commerce, and overall revenue strategies. These efforts played a crucial role in enabling us to grow our revenues to the point where we began setting new revenue records and occupancy statistics within a short 2–3-year period. To this day, as I work with new relationships regarding our website analytics, I frequently hear comments such as “I’ve never seen such a clever and competent creation of SEO, keyword successes, analytics tracking, PPC success, etc.”
