About Darlene

  I am originally from San Diego, CA with a background in Aerospace. In 1991 the Industry turned downward, I moved into Oceanography Sales in Oil & Gas Field that suited me for 18 years.  My husband and I opened a manufacturing business "Goodbody Gear Inc." supporting Oil & Gas,  Off-Road and medical field.

I operated as an 8a certified, Women Owned, Federally recognized Tribal member with “Chippewa-White Earth Reservation” manufacturing Titanium components used in Down Hole applications with a service life expectancy 15+ years on the ocean floor,  upon Deep Water Horizon accident I knew it was going to be a long recovery, we moved to Los Alamos-Santa Fe , NM near the Los Alamos Laboratory for employment. 

I studied Real Estate in San Diego and decided to become licensed  when I moved to New Mexico, I bought my first house in 1984 off of an auction in San Diego, I rehabilitated it and moved up and continued that journey until 2001.

I moved to New Mexico 2014, I like to describe living in New Mexico as chasing the sun with as many as 300 days of sunshine per year the sunshine will put you in that ray of sunshine it reflects upon your Art Work giving that magnificent glow the “Best of the Best” sun shining upon your treasured Art Work, how incredible!

The topography of each surrounding area in Santa Fe, Los Alamos, Jemez and Las Campanas areas are just right for a primary residence or a second home, many come to visit and buy for the beauty and finish writing that wonderful memoir and enjoy

so many outdoor activities year round, festivals are held year round to absorb 300+ days of sunshine, 20 minutes to a nearby 

Ski resort, artisans selling unique crafts at the plaza, so many wonderful restaurants owned by locals not large food chains to keep 

the charm of Santa Fe dining classic.
