Hi, I'm Alma. I help El Paso families find the right home.
Whether you are buying your first home, selling the one you raised your family in, or building brand new, I will treat your move like it is my own family's. I will tell you the truth about every house, build a listing plan that sells your home for what it is worth, and walk every builder in town with you. When you call, I am the one who answers, in English or Spanish.
Anything involving real estate in El Paso, Texas.
Buy, sell, build, relocate, or retire. One agent who knows El Paso, answers her own phone, and speaks your language.

When you call, text, or email, you get me. Not an assistant, not a call center, not a team member you have never met. I get back to you the same day.
A real person, every time. - 2

This is my full time job.
Real estate is not something I do on the side. Any day of the week you will find me at an open house, sitting with someone who is thinking about selling, or showing a buyer the home that might be the one. You get my full attention, not my leftover hours.

Straight answers to what El Paso buyers and sellers actually ask me.
Who is the best realtor in El Paso for a first-time buyer?
The right agent for a first-time buyer answers the phone, explains every step in plain language, and knows the down-payment help and builder incentives available in El Paso right now. Alma Patino at ClearView Realty works with first-time buyers in English and Spanish and walks each one from pre-approval to keys.
How do I sell my home in El Paso?
Start with a pricing analysis based on recent El Paso sales in your neighborhood, prepare the home with the repairs that actually return money, launch with professional photos and a marketing plan across the MLS, portals, and social media, then negotiate offers and manage inspections, appraisal, and title through closing. Alma handles every step and shows you the plan before you sign anything.
Are there realtors in El Paso who speak Spanish?
Yes. Alma Patino is fully bilingual and handles the entire transaction in Spanish or English, including contracts, lender conversations, and closing.
What are the best areas to buy a home in El Paso?
It depends on your commute, budget, and schools. Horizon City and the far East side lead in new construction under $350,000. The Westside and Upper Valley have established neighborhoods and higher prices. The Northeast offers value near Fort Bliss and the Franklin Mountains. Alma tours each with you and explains the trade-offs.
Who are the home builders in El Paso?
El Paso is built mostly by local and regional builders rather than national brands. Palo Verde Homes, Sanderson Custom Homes, Hakes Brothers, Saratoga Homes, CareFree Homes, Tropicana Homes, Pacifica Homes, and BIC Homes are among the most active. Alma represents buyers at any of them and walks each community with her clients before they choose.
Is El Paso a good place to retire?
El Paso offers a low cost of living, more than 300 days of sun a year, no state income tax, and a large medical community. Single-story new homes and 55-plus friendly communities are available on the East side and in Horizon City. Alma helps retirees compare neighborhoods, taxes, and one-story floor plans.
