Emery Maez

The Maez legacy started with Emery Maez, though he's quick to credit his son's ceaseless innovation and hard work for The Maez Group's success. Prior to becoming a REALTOR at his son's urging, the Marine Corps veteran, was the retired CEO of an electric co-op in northern New Mexico and served a one year term as the executive direction of a rural healthcare clinic, helping manage logistics and improve their systems. Emery's strengths are working out systems to develop and grow a business. Whether it's with his family's inn or as the qualifying broker of The Maez Group's Espaola office, Emery is a great manger and loves applying his expertise to help people. He's a technical expert with particular knowledge of northern New Mexico; a special market with incredible beauty and unique property amenities not commonly seen in more urban areas. Emery and his Espaola team understand rural services from water rights and irrigation considerations to septic and wells. Emery loves analysis-spreadsheets, data, and numbers-filtering his buyers' criteria to find the right property in the right place. By educating his clients before they start showing he saves them time and mileage, eliminating needless travel by determining what will work without every stepping foot out of his office. In real estate, Emery's passion is taking someone with an initial desire to buy or sell a property and guiding them to the closing table. It's a long and complex process a lot of people take for granted until they're in the thick of it. Emery is always honest and upfront about the intricacies-honesty that garners trust and develops close relationships with his clients. After so many years in business, Emery thinks like a manager, taking responsibility for his clients and brokers and dealing truthfully with everyone out of respect. He's spent much of his life in positions of leadership but believes there's always something to learn from his team, his son Joe, and their clients. Despite the business's constant growth, they never lose their focus on family values and relationships as the driving force for their success. Emery loves getting to reconnect with past clients during their appreciation events-annual parties they throw at their home on Lake Abiquiu-where he's reminded of the impact his work is having on the lives of others. Emery is proud of the Maezs and their work family; he's happy with the life they've built and is generous in sharing them with anyone who wants in.
