Santa Fe Real Estate Agent
Marissa Ruyle
Hello, I’m Marissa
I’m a proud Santa Fe native with a lifelong connection to the community that informs my distinctive approach to real estate. My deep passion for both real estate and construction—combined with a love for my hometown—shapes every client experience. I have a sharp eye for quality and connection. I’m proud to seamlessly bring together people, premier properties, and investment opportunities, and offer a unique perspective within the real estate market.
When I’m not helping her 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

“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.).”

“Her ability to grasp nuanced procurement challenges, develop forward-thinking strategies, and engage stakeholders with clarity and purpose is remarkable.”
“I worked closely with Marissa on Federal Job Order Contracting (JOC) initiatives during our time at Gordian. Throughout that time, I have known Marissa as a sharp, motivated, and mission-driven professional, someone whose contributions consistently exceeded expectations. Marissa always brings energy, purpose, and a collaborative mindset to the table. We need more Marissa’s in professional and leadership roles, in construction and facility management. I have worked alongside many talented professionals, but few have demonstrated the level of dedication and strategic thinking Marissa brings. I have no doubt she will continue to make meaningful contributions in both academic and professional arenas.”

“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.”
