Mexican and Pueblo doors can be found

throughout. An attached two-car garage is a rarity

for an Eastside estate. MLS #201103260

This house off of Old Santa Fe Trail has a rather grand, European feeling, but

with Santa Fe design elements including beautiful, hand-troweled plaster walls

and beamed ceilings overall a combination of elegantly formal and informal

country touches and all very comfortable.

The well-lit kitchen is a real standout, the panoply of teal-colored,

distressed-finish cabinets contrasting with the butter-yellow wall plaster. The

unique ceiling is alternating bands of plaster and whitewashed wood in an

open coffer of distressed-wood beams. There are several of these handsome

coffered ceilings in the house.

Kitchen equipment includes a Viking six-burner range, a Sub Zero

refrigerator, and an Asko dishwasher. The kitchen is big enough for an

informal dining space right next to a huge stone fireplace. The table there is a

favorite space.I love the house because its so light and bright, and there are wonderful

views from every room, said owner Lynn Lee, who built the house with her

late husband. I spend a lot of time in front of the kitchen fireplace doing

paperwork or watching television. The other room I really like is the library,

which is warm and cozy.

The library/study is a refuge in dark wood. It boasts a distinctive, large

fireplace of wood and stone and a long window seat providing views of Santa

Fe Baldy and other peaks and hills at the southern end of the Rocky Mountain

Range. The house was built in 1997 employing energy-efficient pumice-

crete construction. The builder was Steve Shank Construction Company

and the architect David Gibbons. There are six bedrooms and five and a

half bathrooms in the 6,996-square-foot residence; that includes the guest

apartment (with two bedrooms, living room with fireplace, and kitchen) above

the three-car garage.

Access is via a long, winding, very steep driveway. Chickadees in the large,

healthy pion trees welcome with chick-a-dee-dee, and Lynn said there are

about 40 hummingbirds visiting feeders in the summertime.

Each of the twin, heavy wood front doors has a small, iron-grilled window.

One entire wall in the spacious living room is made up of windows and French

doors opening to a deep portal with a fireplace and, below, a rock-bordered

pond with a waterfall. This and three other outdoor dining/entertainmentareas are paved with tile, brick, or f lagstone, and there are stone steps between

levels and leading down to the landscape beyond.

The property is 18.5 acres. (The buyer has first chance on an adjacent,

undeveloped parcel of 19.5 acres.) Landscaping plantings are nourished from

rainwater-catchment and graywater systems, via drip irrigation.

Back in the living-room, the coffered beam ceiling is a country white and is

subtly ornamental. The large fireplace echoes the ceiling in its slab-like forms,

and incorporates a pillar theme in its framing. It is one of 10 fireplaces in the

use. In several of the others, the fireboxes are framed in colorful Portuguese

es. The floors throughout the home are limestone tile, except in the library/

udy and on the s econd floor, where floors are dark-stained, wide-plank

ood.

The second-level bedrooms are reached on a central staircase with

emendous wooden bannister and railings on the landing. The steps are

rpeted, the material anchored with brass stair rods.

In the master bedroom are a deep window seat, a fireplace, a beamed

iling, and a laundry chute that drops to a spot next to the laundry room

the first level. The bathroom is outfitted in travertine tile and there is a

ted tub, a blue-tiled shower, and a pair of f luted porcelain sinks with brass

rdware.

The views from the four balconies are terrific, taking in the Sangre deistos, the Jemez Mountains, and the hills and plains of Galisteo.

Among the other features are a formal dining room with cabinets (for both

splay and storage) flanking a fireplace; his-and-hers offices sharing a full

throom; radiant heating; an elevator; and a b asement with a 10-foot-long,

alk-in safe.

The house on 18.5 acres is listed by Jane Hiltbrand, Barker Realty, for

,068,000.

water under pressure in a reservoir, and people hate those

in residential applications, Schwartz said. When 1.6-

gallon toilets were mandated in the early 1990s, everybody

went to those, and they quickly regretted it. Its just that

the technology had not yet caught up with the legal

requirements. But since that time, the engineering that has

gone into toilet-flushing technology is rather fantastic.

The Toto company is an industry leader, he said. The

city bought a lot of Totos for its toilet-retrofit program. We

sell a lot of toilets and the 1.28-gallon Toto is way ahead ofthe curve.

Moving into the realm of convenience, many of the new

toilets come with soft-close lids. You just give them a push

when youre leaving and the s eat and lid slowly, softly close.

If youre really lazy, or you dont want to touch anything,

or you like the high-tech stuff, check out the Toto Neorest,

which includes a fancy seat incorporating an automatic

cleaning wand (like a bidet function) and comes with a

remote control you can use to open and close the lid and

seat or you can set it to do that automatically, by sensor,

when you approach and leave.

You can add a bidet seat to some of these toilets for

about $1,200, but this Toto, which I call the Space Shuttle

of toilets, does everything, including rear cleaning, front

cleaning, and a fan that dries you off.

The Neorest is about $5,000. But you can save just as

much water with an entry-level HET (high-efficiency

toilet) starting at about $465.------------------------------

Conservation and sustainability go hand in hand,

and theyre both on the agenda in Santa FeWatershed

Climate Change, a workshop happening from 9 a.m. to 5

p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 14, at the Santa Fe Community

Convention Center. The event is held by the City of Santa

Fe, Santa Fe County, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

The day begins with presentations by Craig Allen,

research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey

leader of the Jemez Mountains Field Station based

Bandelier National Monument; Bill DeBuys, auth

conservationist, and founding chairman of the Va

Caldera Trust; and Dave Gutzler, professor of eart

planetary sciences at the University of New Mexic

workshop facilitator is Karen MacClune, an exper

climate and senior staff s cientist at the Institute fo

and Environmental Transition in Boulder, Colo.

A report developed from the workshop report wused to help manage the Santa Fe Watershed over

four decades.

Most mortgage loan officers agree that

the borrowers best ally in the loan-finance

journey is the loan processor. Making

friends with the processor is definitely the

way to go. It will p ay dividends in more

ways than one.

It is an understatement to say that

paperwork has increased in the mortgage

world. There are more requirements all the

time. Fannie Mae continues to pressure

lenders and threaten their purchases

of loans. Who handles this increasedpaperwork? Who handles surprise requests

at closing? Who is in the hot seat from

beginning to end? Yep, it is the loan

processor.

The processor is the glue that holds any

mortgage company together. Processors

are responsible for most of the interaction

and struggle with the underwriters.

Because they are such an integral part of

the transaction, they are often placed in

the position of whipping post by all sides.

Because they deal directly with all parties

to the transaction, they are often blamed

for surprise requirements, increased

paperwork, stalling incidents and low

appraisals. When, in truth, they are only the

messengers who work diligently and hate

calling you with any problem or change.

Loan officers are busy, too. They are

required to take good care of your loan by

locking your rate at the optimal moment

and working directly with the borrower toinitiate the process and collect all necessary

paperwork. But, in all honesty, besides

managing your loan, the loan officer is

responsible for business development and

has to be out of the office to do this well. So,

as I said before, when the loan originator is

tending to business, it is the processor who

takes and makes those sometimes dreaded

phone calls asking for more documentation

or bringing less than good news, etc. It can

be a lonely and thankless job.

So why would anyone want to educate

themselves so that they can talk to and

understand the all-powerful underwriters?

Why do they want to work in an

environment that is stressful and often

unappreciative? The simple answer is

that they like helping people realize their

greatest dream of home ownership. But, I

should also tell you that for every talented,

educated, smart, caring processor working

today, there are 20 out there who p ossessnone of these qualities.

Great processors are hard to find and

when you work with one, you will know it.

Because I am the author of this tribute to

loan processors, I am taking the liberty to

say that I have the best. My success, over

the last 20 years, is closely linked to her

outstanding handling of my clients loans.

So, the next time you have an

opportunity to work with a processor

who is going the distance to get yclosed with the least amount of ir

saythank you and good job. H

deserves it.

With the new year quickly approaching,

a few of us are thinking past the holidays

and pondering our new years resolution.How about a 10-percent pledge? No, not

to spend money, but to save it on our

water, gas or electricity bill next year.

Saving on any of t hese resource helps

you, helps the community and helps t he

environment. Plus its not difficult as there

are many free tools and rebates to help us

achieve this goal.

The City of Santa Fe offers FREE

water audits. Finding one small leak

can easily help you reach your goal. On

a recent residential audit training field

trip I attended with the city, three out of

three houses had easy-to-fix water saving

recommendations. One of the houses Iam embarrassed to say was mine.

It does not take much to save 10

percent of your water. Changing out a

single flush toilet handle for a dual flush

takes only a few minutes and can save

thousands of gallons a year. Installing a

rain sensor on your irrigation system will

pay for itself in less than two years.

To assist in your efforts, the city has asimple-to-use water calculator to help you

estimate water use. It also offers a host

of rebates to help you save water. Besides

their rain sensor rebate, one rebate that

will quickly pay for itself is a weather-

based upgrade to your existing irrigation

controller. Check for this and other

rebates at www.water2conserve.com.

PNM, our local electric company, offers

a number of tools and incentives to help

us with the 10 percent pledge. These

include an energy calculator to analyze

your home energy use, identify ways

to save energy, and estimate the cost of

operating appliances in your home. Thecompany offers a range of rebates toward

energy saving upgrades. A quick and easy

one is changing out old-fashioned light

bulbs with compact fluorescent lights.

These use 75 percent less electricity than

traditional incandescent bulbs, and will

reduce your electric bill by as much as $65

per year. Look for these and other ideas at

www.pnm.com.The New Mexico Gas Company

(www.nmgco.com) offers a variety of

energy-saving tips to quickly and easily

reduce your monthly natural gas usage,

from turning down your thermostat

to wrapping your water heater. This

inexpensive change will generally lower

your natural gas bills by about $3 to $5 a

month, and usually pays for itself in about

one year!

If your annual household income is

under $101,700, Homewise can help

you finance energy-efficient and water-

conservation home improvements,

including installing any of the following:Energy Star windows and doors, solar hot

water, photovoltaics, insulation upgrades,

water-catchment irrigation systems,

Energy Star appliances, and low-flow

toilets and fixtures. Find out more at

www.homewise.org.

Look at your usage and join me in

working toward achieving a 10-percent

reduction in 2012 to save energy and

water and to help the environment.

In December, the Santa Fe Association

of Realtors will host an annual meeting

with an exciting program featuring

National Association of Realtors economist

Lawrence Yun. He oversees the production

of existing national home-sales statistics

and the popular NAR Home Buyer and

Seller surveys, and regularly appears

on CNBC, BBC, and Bloomberg TV.

Along with Mr. Yuns housing update, the

association will install its 2012 officers and

directors who were elected to serve by the

membership.

Incoming president Dan Wright,

affiliated with Santa Fe Properties, was

raised in Santa Fe, graduating from Santa

Fe High in 1969 and then attending the

University of Arizona. His early career was

spent working in the insurance industry in

both Santa Fe and Texas. Back in Santa Fe,

Dan began investing in real estate, either

owning or managing properties as diverse

as subsidized housing to the renovation

of historic commercial and residential

properties. In 1988, he left the insurance

industry to pursue real-estate sales full

time. He has most recently served as a

member of the Santa Fe Asso ciation of

Realtors (SFAR) board of directors, vice

president, and president-elect. He is also

the proud father of two children, both

of whom are on a ctive duty in the U.S.

military.

Victoria Murphyof Santa Fe Properties

will be the associations president-elect

in 2012. Victoria has extensive Realtor

association experience, serving at both

the local and state levels in a variety of

leadership roles over the past six years. Her

family has been in Santa Fe since 1598;

her grandparents built and named many

streets on the historic Eastside - Sosaya

Lane, San Antonio, San Pasqual and Sosaya

streets. Her father was a local architect who

designed many of Santa Fes downtown

commercial buildings and encouraged her

to get into the real-estate industry. Her

mother, Monica Sosaya Halford, is a local

santera and shows at the various Spanish

markets. Victoria enjoys sharing the history

of Santa Fe with her clients as the

the city.

The City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe

unty, in conjunction with the Bureau

Reclamation, are holding an interactive

orkshop on Dec. 14 to discuss the future

the watershed, the water supply, and

e potential impact of climate change.

tendance is limited and registration is

quired. Local environmental and climate

perts will give keynote presentations

d a facilitator will guide discussions and

lp process input from participants on

hich impacts of climate change are most

oblematic, what the potential solutions

e, and how local governments can work

ward sustainability.

One of the most immediate problems

ing us locally is the likelihood of another

Nia winter. What is this phenomenon?

e definitions of El Nio and La Nia are

sed on an index of water-temperature

tremes for the El Nio/Southern

cillation (ENSO) cycle. Under La Nia

nditions, a band of relatively cooler water

tends along the equator from the coast of

uth America to the central Pacific Ocean.

ld equatorial Pacific temperatures cause

ajor shifts in the patterns of tropical

nfall, which in turn influence the jet

eams and patterns of temperature and

ecipitation around t he world.

During La Nia winters, the jet streams

pically take a more serpentine path

d enter North America through the

rthwestern U.S., bringing wetter-than-

erage conditions to that region and

verting storms away from the Southwest,

ightening drought conditions here.

To differentiate El Nio and La Nia, the

ational Oceanographic and Atmospheric

gency (NOAA) began using its index

rmulae in 2003; but it has b een tracking

e phenomenon since the early 1950s.

ese sibling events can bring copious

mounts of rain and snow, or accentuate

ought, in affected areas. La Nia winters

pically bring dry conditions to Arizona

d New Mexico. NOAA does not state

at there is a direct link to global warming

t rather notes that it is difficult to sort

t the exact role of global warning without

knowing the natural variability of climate

change.

Maybe just looking around at what man

is doing provides the best clues! Climate

changes have occurred through geologic

time, are preserved in rock and ice records,

have affected evolutionary successions

and have (relatively recently) dramatically

changed the habitability of some areas. But

what about the increasing future effects of

human activities?

One might have expected a slowing of

greenhouse gas emissions due to the recent

global recession. This did in fact happen

in 2009, when total emissions in most

countries (including the U.S.) dropped.

But global emissions rebounded in 2010.

The increase of carbon dioxide in the

atmosphere attributable to the burning

of fossil fuels actually increased by 6

percent between 2009 and 2010. This is the

biggest increase in the 25 years that such

measurements have been kept and the rate

of increase is greater than the worst-case

scenario predicted by UN climate scientists.

Half that increase is attributable to China

and India, which came in first and second,

respectively, through burning coal to meet

the energy demands of their growing

economies. Could Santa Fes watershed

ultimately be affected by global climate

change? Absolutely!

Protesters get flushed from public

parks for demanding justice. Debt-ridden

economies overseas threaten a full-blown

money-system collapse. A food system

based on long-distance travel, packaging,

and credit-card swiping starts to run low

on resources.

We live in tenuous times, so a

permacultural approach to holiday gift-

giving is especially appropriate. On the

physical plane, think durable, useful, local,recycled, and reusable. On a spiritual level,

consider gifts that inspire, motivate, and

empower people to become more attuned

to their purpose in life.

In any age, but especially at this moment

of peak everything, lifes purpose is clear.

We should strive to become more self-

reliant as individuals and help our f amilies,

friends, communities, and all peoples of the

world do the same.

One easy way to do this is to give gifts

(or gift certificates) from any of the eight

or 10 local plant nurseries. Each has its

specialty, and every one of them has

endless permacultural presents to offer.If the ground is soft enough (which

it often is in winter on the south side of

trees, walls, and buildings here in northern

New Mexico), now is a great time to

plant trees and shrubs. They love to be

transplanted when their root systems are

not immediately charged with working

like gangbusters. If you plant cold-tolerant

plants in cold weather, the root systems of

what you plant can slowly get used to their

new environment and accelerate quickly as

temperatures gradually increase. (If the soil

is too hard to dig, you can always insulate

trees and shrubs over the winter in a thick

bed of straw.)

In addition to plants, most of the

nurseries also sell garden tools, organic

soil-building products, and - my favorite -

books. This year in addition to Harvest the

Rain (see below), Im recommending City

Chicks (Good Earth Publications, 2010) by

Patricia Foreman. The author and I took

As real-estate brokers, we basicallynegotiate in our sleep, its true! As we

have our coffee in the morning and talk

about our dreams, it often goes like this:

I had a weird dream we were really close

to settling the Jones and then the buyer

insisted on the fridge. When it comes to

negotiating, the one constant is that we

want to win, and thats not a bad thing or

just a guy thing. Think back to those Girl

Scout cookie sales and that one girl who

always seemed to outsell everyone, and

not by a little. It didnt matter that she had

her mother and aunt and a whole army of

helpers out selling 24/7, she was a winner.

Thats what we want for our clients;we want them to be winners. In order

for that to happen the process needs to

be artfully crafted. So that brings in our

first rule of negotiation, win-win or no

deal. Of course, in a buyers market it

would seem unlikely that a seller can

come out a winner, but he can. For many

sellers, winning usually means price, but

to become a winner a seller needs to dothree things. First, determine motivation;

second, establish the goal; and third,

lay out at least three main elements that

support that goal.

If a seller is not really motivated its

impossible to determine a winning

solution. In a market where there are eight

sellers for every buyer, the seller probably

wont get to the negotiating stage anyway.

But if motivation is strong, say to move

closer to the grandkids, then the goal of

selling your house can have real meaning.

Now the elements that support the goal

such as price, closing dates, inclusions,

and concessions become the artful part ofthe process.

Avoid framing any element as winning

or losing, but simply as an exploration

into potential outcomes. For sellers to win

in a buyers market, they must overcome

the price objection. Keep in mind that

market value is not the fault of the buyers

and for all the showings, these people

actually made an offer. Next, when itcomes to inspection objections, think

outside of the box. If the buyer wants a

new cooling unit and you know that the

old one is fine, offer a home warranty

instead. You wont have to pay for a new

unit and the buyer gets the assurance he

wont be stuck with surprise expenses.

Buyers have a list of win items, too, and

something as simple as moving a closing

date may save them thousands or give

them peace of mind. So explore ways for

both parties to win, and dont be afraid to

ask for what you want.

The most important way to become a

winner is to keep your emotions in check.Never let them affect your mindset or

your ability to get to the win objective

of the deal. When making concessions,

always keep an eye on the bottom line

and have your broker prepare a net-out

sheet before submitting your response.

More often than not, your broker will

need to negotiate with you before she can

negotiate for you so dont think she is

working against you. Closing is a natural

progression to successful negotiations and

if both the buyer and the seller get whatthey want, isnt that the best outcome of

all?

Social networking online through

Facebook and Twitter is changing not

only how we communicate informationbut how we consume every type of

product and service, from toys to real

estate. Businesses are experimenting.

They are learning and adapting to meet

the needs of the connected consumer.

Everyone is out of their comfort zone as

the times are a changing.

Connected consumers talk about their

needs and reinforce the values, products

and services that are important to them,

and business as usual is not winning.

Think about how one customer of a major

bank created a Facebook-page protest and

gathered over 100,000 signatures to end

the practice of new fees on debit cards.She leveraged the technology of social

networking to change how a major bank

does business.

Social networking gives the consumer

a significant voice in how businesses treat

customers and employees as well as how

they develop new products and s ervices.

Technology is evolving faster than our

ability to adapt. Consumers are not justengaged in social conversations; they are

connected across a web of networked

devices. We are becoming a new breed as

we influence and are influenced by each

others tweets and likes and follows.

This is the new face of business

marketing. What is missing is thinking

that a large number of likes or follows

means long-term success for the brand or

product. Look at how Ashton Kutchers

one tweet about Joe Paterno and the

Penn State sex-abuse scandal changed his

influence on Twitter in minutes. Consider

how Congressman Weiners body

revelations ended his political career.The value in the connection is about

understanding the expectations of the

relationship and behaviors that happen

next. Counting numbers or using metrics

can be misleading, especially if loyalty is

assumed. Social networking has disrupted

how we communicate, exchange new

ideas, look at opportunities, influence

each other and make political andeconomic decisions. Nothing appears

too big to fail anymore, or too small to

succeed.

Social networking is far from

insignificant, or relegated to a niche

to users on Facebook or Twitter. It is

transforming how we find and share

information and then connect and

collaborate and do business with each

other. Social networking is part of our

culture as governments, businesses

and organizations have socialized

communication. According to a recent

Nielsen study, social media is not a fad.

Social networks and blogs account fornearly 25 percent of how Americans

spend their time on t he Internet. Nielsen

reports that women make up the majority

of visitors to social networks and blogs.

Facebook, with 800 million users, is now

larger than the Internet was in 2004.

Social networking is becoming the new

home page of connected consumers. One

result is clear. We are no longer passive

media consumers. We are connected. See

you next online.
