Mel Salinas

Following a passion for art, culture, and adventures in the great American southwest is what brought me to the beautiful state of New Mexico. A natural born talent in art helped me pursue my education in marketing which gave me opportunities to fashion children attire sold at Neiman Marcus, draw with Walt Disney Studio Artists in Burbank, design music book covers for Time Warner, and also helped me gain publicity from USATODAY while running my online commercial co-venture founded to help raise funding and awareness for national and local pet shelters. It also helped me understand how to market my homes and has helped me sell them to the right Buyer; an exciting challenge that keeps me investing in the next one. I appreciate the search for the perfect home and believe that a simple understanding of THE PURPOSE for buying a home IS how you begin. I enjoy reading motivational nonfiction stories; a favorite being "Start Something That Matters", running with my dog through the sandy network of acequias in the South Valley, snowboarding the many picturesque mountains of northern New Mexico, biking through Otero Canyon, and piano lessons; I want to learn Nocturne in A Minor. I live with a blue-eyed Devil, two she-'pibbles', a man-poodle, a hairless cat, 2 fury furries, and a few rowdy chickens. My partner and I have been investing and remodeling homes in Albuquerque since 2015 and you can read more about us and our work here: myhousebusters.com
