Penny Kielpinski
Associate Broker

Associate Broker-Prudential Santa Fe Real Estate

I'm a red-headed, fiery Leo with a passion for helping people buy and sell property. If you're looking for expertise and a seamless transaction, I'm your person. I'm a Yankee transplant with ten glorious years of living in Santa Fe.

As a former educator, I know the schools. As a curious home lover, I know the neighborhoods. As a savvy farm girl, I know the good places for horses and dogs.

The heart of my business is referrals. My training, negotiating skills, education and experience create raving fans. I keep my clients for life. Let me take you under my professional wing!

No grass grows under my feet. I have earned the prestigious CRS designation. I am working on my Green Designation from the NAR. I am an enthusiastic member of Buffini and Company's national business coaching program, attending six professional workshops per year. I have been the inspirational speaker for the Santa Fe Women's Council of Realtors for over two years. I serve on the Grievance Committee for the Santa Fe Association of Realtors, and I chair the monthly Buffini Club Net meetings.

My professional awards include multiple Prudential Top Ten awards, the Prudential award for most residential units sold in New Mexico, Prudential Santa Fe's Realtor of the Year award, a national award for Outstanding Realtor from Buffini and Company, Prudential's President's Circle award, and Broker/Agent magazine's Rising Star award.

For the past six years I have supported the incredible work of the Heart and Soul Animal Sanctuary, through volunteering and donating $200 of each of my real estate transactions. I also run in the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and help prepare food for the Kitchen Angels.

In my spare time I enjoy my three amazing daughters, hiking with my dogs, practicing yoga, attending concerts, and mingling at gallery openings and festivals. I love eating out with friends, reading, and riding my bike. Life is good!

"Looking for a professional, caring, and knowledgeable realtor? You will find one in Penny Kielpinski. Our home in Las Campanas was sold in six days! In addition, she found us the perfect home with magnificent vistas and unique architectural details. Beyond that, Penny is an exceptional human being who obviously masters her trade."

-A. Bermudez & D. Shaw

"Penny is the consummate professional, yet has the personal touch that makes a real estate transaction as pleasant as possible. Having been around real estate people most of my adult life, I can honestly say that Penny is an exceptional realtor."

-G. Wofford

"We are so grateful to Penny for finding the perfect people to buy our beloved family home. They are fixing the house with the historic design intact. Penny is knowledgeable, professional, fair, positive, and cool under adverse conditions. We also admire her commitment to animal welfare. We will continue to refer people to her. She is hard working, honest, and a great friend."

-S. & A. Greenall

"We could not have asked for a better real estate agent than Penny Kielpinski. Throughout the process of buying our new home and selling our former home, her advice and guidance was invaluable. The fact that she was able to sell our home in Rancho Viejo at a time when the Santa Fe market was in a downturn speaks volumes about her expertise. Penny ensured that our home received exposure by calling on her vast network of other top producers and holding a series of open houses. It was through one of these open houses that we found a buyer and had our home under contract two months from the date that we listed it. We would absolutely recommend Penny to anyone needing professional help in buying or selling a home."

-E. Levine & M Horst

"Penny Kielpinski is the best! She is dedicated, experienced and hardworking. We felt very confident as she guided us through the process of selling our home. She is professional, comfortable to work with, and definitely goes the extra mile. We couldn't have been happier. We would highly recommend Penny to anyone seeking a superior real estate broker."

-S. Jordan & D. Lewis

"When I sold my beloved house in Eldorado, I used Penny as my realtor on a reference from a friend. She proved to be the right person for a very difficult situation. I resided on the east coast, and I needed to get problem renters out of the house and have someone come in to get it market ready. Penny became my long distance advocate, arranging for the renters to vacate, and hiring some wonderful people to come in and restore the house for marketing. She was completely trustworthy, unflaggingly optimistic, and totally professional. Because of her committed efforts, the perfect buyer came in and loved the house, leaving me with the sense of contentment that the house was the match they needed. I made a profit, and an enduring friend in Penny. I would heartily recommend her as the best realtor I have ever worked with!"

-B. J. Weyant

"Never could a chance meeting have brought such good fortune. I spontaneously walked into Penny's business office and by the end of our first meeting, both my personal challenges and my real estate adventures were in her capable hands. Penny was able to resolve a very destructive rental situation, together we restored my lovely hacienda, after which Penny found a qualified buyer in jig time. Her caring extends beyond the office environment. She has the ability to size up all of the complex issues better than any realtor I have ever known. She also makes time for others, including the beloved animals in need at the Heart & Soul Animal Sanctuary."

-R. Simms

"Penny was responsive to my needs as an out-of-town buyer. She set aside an entire weekend to show me some homes, after profiling me ahead of time and doing tons of research. I truly appreciated how Penny negotiated the best sales price for me and how quickly she responded to my e-mails and calls. I'd recommend Penny to anyone looking for a conscientious, kind, hard-working real estate professional in the Santa Fe area."

-T. Nystrom

"I have worked with Penny on at least three real estate transactions over the last several years. I don't know of any realtor with more integrity, honesty, and thoroughness! I utterly trust her to represent my interests, and her diplomacy and general concern for all parties helped us to close one particularly challenging sale. Penny dedicates her heart and soul to the profession, and it shows. I will continue to refer her to anyone in need of her services. She is the best realtor I know!"

-A. Fischer

"Penny provides professional service. At the same time, she puts the client at ease. She makes the process of selling a home, which can be very stressful, quite easy. Thanks, Penny!"

-A. Vialpando

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! I want to express our gratitude for all that you have done for Zach and me in helping our move to Santa Fe be more smooth, comfortable, and welcoming. You have been so thoughtful and generous and have gone out of your way to support us while we navigate the challenging process of transition. Thank you for your dedication, perseverance, professionalism, and ethics-it has been such a pleasure to work with you, Penny."

-M. Copeland

"Penny has been a tremendous help to me in both buying and now selling my home. She is a true professional in every sense of the word. She walked me through the required documents with great patience and understanding. She brought in a superb photographer and developed a beautiful brochure with those photos and excellent text. She has advertised my home in many venues, including Realtor.Com with fourteen photos. Most importantly, Penny has been a very enthusiastic and caring person throughout the sometimes difficult selling process. She has kept me apprised of all the open houses, providing clear feedback from every showing. Without any reservation, I would heartily recommend Penny to anyone who wants to sell their home or buy a new one!"
