PATTI OLIVAS – Associate Broker/Owner of Dan Olivas and Associates.  

Patti was previously with RE/MAX Elite since 1986 and now she and Dan have opened their own company.  

She specializes in residential real estate and was a top producer since joining RE/MAX and also now with Dan Olivas and Associates. She has earned the following designations: Graduate of the Real Estate Institute (GRI), is also an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) and has the E-pro designation and is also a New Mexico Associate Broker. 

Patti feels that being raised in a military family helps her to really understand the upheaval that our military families have when being stationed to a new base. Her job is to make that transition as simple and as stress free as possible for those buyers and sellers. Patti was the President of the Greater El Paso Multiple Listing Service and has served on that Board for the past 4 years and is now on the Board of Directors for the Greater El Paso Association of Realtors.  

Being an Associate Broker/Owner in El Paso, TX and New Mexico has been fun and she wants to make it fun for you. Buying a home should be a fun experience.
