About Us
Michael Nicola and Gabriel Bustamante founded Town and Ranch Properties out of a simple conviction: Los Alamos deserves real estate representation that actually knows this place — the market cycles, the terrain, the difference between a Ponderosa lot and a canyon view.
We don't work from a corporate playbook. We work from the ground up, the way this community operates. Whether you're buying your first home near the labs, selling a ranch parcel that's been in a family for generations, or looking for a mountain retreat with serious privacy — we've seen it, we've sold it, and we know what it's worth.

What We Do
From hillside contemporary to valley-floor tract homes — we price, market, and negotiate your sale with the precision this market demands.
We know every cul-de-sac, every zoning nuance, and every off-market opportunity before it hits the MLS. Your advantage starts here.
Acreage, grazing land, timber parcels — ranch properties need a different kind of expertise. We bring it.
Comparative market analysis that actually reflects Los Alamos pricing — not county averages or coastal benchmarks that mean nothing here.
Moving to the area? We'll help you understand neighborhoods, school boundaries, commute patterns, and the quirks that only locals know.
Discretion matters. We handle high-value and sensitive transactions with the confidentiality and professionalism they require.

Client Stories
"We relocated from the Bay Area and had no idea where to start. Michael and Gabriel walked us through every step — neighborhoods, schools, the whole picture. We closed in 45 days and couldn't be happier."
Sandra & Tom R.
Ponderosa Hills
"Selling a family ranch isn't something most agents understand. Gabriel knew the land, the water rights, the market — and he got us three offers above ask within two weeks. No nonsense, just results."
James M.
Ranchos District
"As first-time buyers, we were completely lost. Michael made the process feel simple and kept us from making costly mistakes. He genuinely had our best interest at heart — not just a quick commission."
Priya & David L.
Valley Floor
Whether you're buying, selling, or just curious about what your property is worth — we're here. No pressure, no scripts. Just honest advice from people who live here.
