Estate Cleanout in Socorro & Truth or Consequences, New Mexico
Albuquerque-based, I-25-ready. Scheduled trip days down the Rio Grande corridor to clear the books, papers, media, and valuables from an estate — careful handling of NMT faculty libraries, ranching family records, hot-springs district collections, Elephant Butte lake-home libraries, and the genuinely collectible finds in between. Often free when the books and valuables cover the work.
Socorro County and Sierra County are lightly populated but deeply layered. A single estate here can hold a career's worth of geology field notes from New Mexico Tech, a century of ranching records from a family that ran cattle on the same land through three generations, or the accumulated library of a retiree who came for the hot springs and built a reading life alongside the Rio Grande. That's the part I'm here for. I'm one person, not a furniture-and-junk crew — but I can also take clothing, outdoor gear, and working electronics as donation pickups while I'm there. I understand what's in these homes, and I treat it accordingly.

A partnership you can point to
I volunteer in Recycling Services at La Vida Llena, an Albuquerque retirement community, and I bring children's books to employees there at the holidays. That's where the review below comes from — Glyndon Hossink, the colleague I work alongside. It's a small thing, but it says something about how I operate: I show up, do the work, and care about what comes of it beyond the invoice.
For families managing a Socorro County or Sierra County estate from out of state — or a personal representative working a probate timeline while navigating a grief period — knowing who you're dealing with matters more than the price. I'm a solo operator working out of a North Valley Albuquerque warehouse. When books and papers come off a Socorro or T or C property, they come back here, get sorted carefully, and go where they do the most good: into the hands of readers, into appropriate collections, through Heirloom Rescue when the family wants something preserved.
"Josh Eldred volunteers with me in Recycling Services at La Vida Llena. His efforts to help our seniors recycle are very much appreciated. He also brings dozens of boxes of children's books at the holidays so employees can choose free books for their children. He is our hero!"
Where I work along the I-25 corridor
The Rio Grande corridor from Albuquerque south through Socorro County and into Sierra County is one of the most historically layered stretches of New Mexico. Each community along it has its own estate character. Here's what I know about each area:
Socorro — old town, NMT campus area, and residential neighborhoods
Socorro sits at the foot of the Magdalena Mountains on the east bank of the Rio Grande, about 75 miles south of Albuquerque. It's home to New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology — NMT, or NM Tech — one of the strongest science and engineering universities in the Mountain West, particularly in geology, astrophysics, hydrology, and explosives engineering. The presence of a research university for over a century has shaped the town's estate character profoundly. Faculty who spent careers at NMT built working libraries that reflect their disciplines — and those estates are now coming through. Socorro's old town also has genuine historic fabric: Spanish colonial–era buildings on the plaza, historic adobes along California Street, and neighborhoods that have been continuously occupied for generations. The Old San Miguel Mission on the plaza dates to the 1600s.
Magdalena — ranching community and the old stock trail
About 27 miles west of Socorro on US-60, Magdalena is one of the most historically significant ranching towns in New Mexico. The Magdalena Stock Driveway — a livestock trail running west from Magdalena toward the Arizona border — was the last major working cattle trail in the United States, used through the 1950s. Magdalena's economy was built on cattle and silver and zinc mining; its estates reflect that. Ranch records, brand certificates, livestock papers, mining company documents, and the practical libraries of working families are the typical contents. Magdalena is also the gateway to the Plains of San Agustin, where the Very Large Array radio telescope stands — NMT researchers and NRAO staff have lived in this area, adding a scientific dimension to some estates.
San Antonio — birthplace of Conrad Hilton
San Antonio is a tiny village on the Rio Grande about 10 miles south of Socorro. It's best known as the birthplace of Conrad Hilton, the hotel magnate who grew up in a family store here before building what became one of the world's largest hotel companies. The Hilton connection gives the village a modest footnote in American business history that occasionally surfaces in estate libraries — regional histories, Hilton biography and memoir, material on New Mexico's commercial past. San Antonio sits at the north end of the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, so naturalist and birding material is also common in estates from this area.
Truth or Consequences — hot-springs district, downtown, and residential areas
Truth or Consequences is the seat of Sierra County, about 150 miles south of Albuquerque. The town was called Hot Springs until 1950, when it renamed itself to win a promotional contest from the popular NBC radio (and later TV) program hosted by Ralph Edwards — the only American city to rename itself after a game show, and a fact that T or C residents mention with equal parts pride and amusement. The natural hot springs along the Rio Grande have made the town a health destination for over a hundred years. The hot-springs district downtown — a compact cluster of historic bathhouses, some still operating — is the civic heart of T or C. Downtown and the surrounding residential neighborhoods hold a mix of old bungalows and cottages built for health tourists, mid-century homes from the dam-building era, and the properties of retirees who came for the springs and the affordable desert living and stayed for decades.
Williamsburg — adjacent to T or C
Williamsburg is an unincorporated community immediately north of Truth or Consequences along the Rio Grande, effectively part of the same metro area. Residential properties here are similar in character to T or C proper — modest homes, retirees, longtime Sierra County families. For estate purposes, I treat Williamsburg and T or C as a single service area with no meaningful logistical distinction.
Elephant Butte — lake community and retirement enclave
Elephant Butte Lake is the largest reservoir in New Mexico, formed by Elephant Butte Dam on the Rio Grande — completed in 1916 and, at the time, the largest dam in the world. The community of Elephant Butte, a few miles north of T or C, grew up around the lake as a recreation and retirement destination. Lakeside properties here tend toward vacation-home and full-time retirement use. The estate character reflects that: recreational reading libraries, outdoor and boating material, the broad-interest collections of people who chose this part of New Mexico for the weather and the water. Out-of-state heirs handling an Elephant Butte estate are a regular part of my work — I do remote walkthroughs and written quotes for families who can't make the trip.
Bosque del Apache area — rural, wildlife refuge adjacent
The Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, south of San Antonio along the Rio Grande, is one of the premier birding destinations in North America. The sandhill crane and snow goose migrations that pass through each winter draw serious birders from across the country. Some of them settled near the refuge, and their estates reflect it: ornithology field guides, natural history libraries, birding journals, migration research, and the broader ecology and conservation literature of the American Southwest. Properties in the bosque corridor tend to be rural and sometimes require planning for access. I reach this area without difficulty.
Property types I work in this corridor
The physical character of properties along this stretch of I-25 varies considerably — from compact hot-springs district bungalows to NMT faculty homes to working ranch properties on hundreds of acres. The building shapes the logistics of the cleanout as much as the contents do.
Historic adobe homes — Socorro old town and surroundings. Thick-walled adobes with vigas, portales, and small rooms accessed through other rooms are the defining architecture of Socorro's historic neighborhoods. Doorways are often narrow and load paths require planning. Libraries in these homes tend to be dense in every room — books accumulate differently when walls are two feet thick and built-in shelving comes with the house.
NMT faculty homes — campus area and surrounding neighborhoods. Faculty housing and the owner-occupied homes of longtime NMT professors and researchers are a recognizable property type in Socorro. These are typically 1940s through 1980s construction — functional homes that have accumulated serious working libraries over decades of academic careers. The books are often organized by someone who thought about collections professionally.
Hot-springs district cottages and bungalows — Truth or Consequences. The older residential fabric of T or C includes small bungalows and cottages from the health-tourism era, some dating to the 1920s and 1930s. These properties are compact, with smaller rooms, and the contents tend to reflect a life built around wellness, community, and desert retirement. Many have been in the same family for two or three generations.
Ranch properties on large acreage — Socorro County and Sierra County. Working and former-working ranch properties in the county are a different logistical category entirely. Access may involve unpaved roads, locked gates, and distances from the county seat. Contents can include outbuildings, barns, and storage structures alongside the main house. I plan access carefully and confirm conditions before the trip.
Lake and retirement homes — Elephant Butte. Lakeside and retirement properties at Elephant Butte are generally more recent construction — 1970s through 2000s — in a vacation-home style. These are often more straightforward in scope than historic properties, but can still contain substantial libraries, and they're frequently managed by out-of-state heirs.
Mid-century residential — T or C downtown and dam-era neighborhoods. The construction of Elephant Butte Dam and the subsequent growth of the surrounding area brought mid-century residential development to T or C. These properties — 1940s through 1960s construction — are the most common estate type in town. Solid working-family homes with the accumulated material of long lives.
What comes out of estates in this corridor
The Socorro–T or C corridor has a distinctive estate character shaped by its two dominant institutions — New Mexico Tech and the natural hot springs — and by the deep ranching and mining history of the surrounding counties. Here's what I find and how I handle it:
NMT faculty and researcher libraries
New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology has been producing working scientists, engineers, and researchers since 1889. Faculty who spent careers at NMT — in geology, astrophysics, hydrology, mining engineering, materials science, explosives engineering, or the atmospheric sciences — built working libraries that are among the most specialized I encounter in New Mexico estate work. These libraries often include decades of bound professional journals, technical monographs, field notebooks, laboratory records, conference proceedings, and annotated textbooks. The annotation alone can make a book significant in the right academic market. I sort these carefully, understand the disciplinary value of what I'm handling, and flag anything with institutional or archival interest for family review before disposition.
Geology, mineralogy, and earth sciences
NMT has one of the strongest geology programs in the American Southwest, and the surrounding landscape is extraordinary from a geological standpoint — the Magdalena Mountains, the Plains of San Agustin, the Rio Grande rift, the volcanic fields around Carrizozo, the silver and zinc deposits that built Magdalena and Kelly. Estate libraries from geologists and mineralogists often include USGS publications, state geological survey reports, New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources materials, mineral specimen catalogs, field maps, and professional correspondence. Some of this material has genuine collector interest among earth-sciences professionals and students.
Astrophysics, radio astronomy, and VLA-related material
The Very Large Array — the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array — operates from the Plains of San Agustin about 50 miles west of Socorro. NMT and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory have maintained a close relationship since the VLA's construction in the 1970s, and many NRAO staff and affiliates have lived in Socorro. Estate libraries connected to the radio astronomy community can include technical publications, conference proceedings, observatory reports, and the professional reference libraries of working astrophysicists. I handle these with the same care I give to any specialized scientific collection — pulling anything significant, routing the rest appropriately.
Ranching family records and working archives
Socorro County and Sierra County both have deep ranching histories. The land grants that underlie many of the county's larger properties go back to the Spanish colonial and Mexican periods. Multi-generation ranching families accumulated land records, brand certificates, livestock breeding records, water rights documentation, grazing lease paperwork, agricultural extension service materials, and correspondence that can span a century or more. These are not decorative family papers — some of them have current legal significance for property transactions, water rights adjudications, or grazing permit renewals. I do not make disposition decisions on documents of this kind unilaterally. They get flagged, photographed, and returned to the family or estate attorney without exception.
Hot-springs health and wellness material — Truth or Consequences
T or C has been a health destination since the late 19th century, when the natural hot springs along the Rio Grande attracted seekers of therapeutic waters. A hundred years of health tourism has left a distinct library type in T or C estates: natural medicine, hydrotherapy, alternative health practices, spa culture, wellness literature from the 1920s through the present, and the personal libraries of people who built their lives around the therapeutic properties of geothermal water. Some of this material is genuinely collectible — early 20th-century hydrotherapy texts and natural medicine titles from the health-reform era have a place in the used and antiquarian book market. I sort for condition and significance.
Bosque del Apache birding and naturalist libraries
The Bosque del Apache NWR is one of the great birding destinations of the American West, and serious birders who settled near the refuge built serious libraries to match. Field guides to North American birds, shorebirds, raptors, and waterfowl; ornithology monographs; conservation and wildlife management texts; natural history of the Rio Grande valley; migration research; ecology of Chihuahuan Desert wetlands — these are the typical contents of a naturalist estate near the bosque. Field guides in particular can be collectible when they're early printings in fine condition. I sort these knowledgeably.
Southwest regional libraries and New Mexico history
Longtime residents of this corridor tend to build substantial regional libraries. New Mexico history from the Spanish colonial period forward; Rio Grande archaeology and prehistory; the history of the missions and the Pueblo Revolt; territorial and statehood-era histories; the literature of the Spanish land grants; the social and economic history of New Mexico mining; regional cookbooks; southwestern natural history — these form the core of most serious Socorro and T or C estate libraries. University of New Mexico Press titles are the backbone of many of these collections, alongside Museum of New Mexico Press, Rio Grande Press reprints, and older out-of-print titles that circulate in the regional used-book market. I know this material and sort it accordingly.
Mining history — silver, gold, copper, and the Kelly district
The Magdalena Mountains west of Socorro contain some of the richest mining history in New Mexico. The town of Kelly — now a ghost town — was once a major silver and zinc producer. The broader Socorro County mining district includes galena, fluorite, barite, and a variety of collectible mineral specimens that sometimes come along with the books. Mining history texts, USGS mining reports, mining company records, and the personal libraries of engineers and assayers who worked these mines are a regular presence in this area's estates. I handle mineral specimens as personal property for the family to direct; books and documents are my domain.
Geronimo Springs Museum and local history material — Sierra County
The Geronimo Springs Museum in Truth or Consequences — named for the natural hot spring on which the town is built — holds collections on Sierra County history, the Apache Wars period, the construction of Elephant Butte Dam, and the renaming of the town in 1950. Sierra County estate libraries often echo the museum's themes: Apache history and the Geronimo period, the dam-building era, local government and politics, and the distinctive history of a small New Mexico county seat that renamed itself after a game show and never looked back. These local history materials have a strong home in regional collections and among readers who care about this particular corner of the Southwest.
Drive times and logistics — what distance actually means
My warehouse is at 5445 Edith Blvd NE, Unit A, Albuquerque, NM 87107. I-25 south runs directly from my door toward both communities. Socorro is approximately 75 miles south — about an hour and fifteen minutes in normal traffic. Truth or Consequences is approximately 150 miles south — about two hours and fifteen minutes. Both cities are reached on the same highway, which makes combined trips practical and efficient.
For Socorro, the distance is comfortable. I can drive down in the morning, spend four to six hours working a property, and be back in Albuquerque the same evening. For larger Socorro estates, I might schedule two or three trip days over the course of a week. For a walkthrough, Socorro is often a quick appointment to schedule. The logistics feel similar to working in the far East Mountains or the South Valley — further than a cross-town job, but well within a day-trip range.
Truth or Consequences requires more deliberate scheduling. At 150 miles each way, a T or C trip is a full day just in drive time. I plan T or C work as dedicated trip days — typically a day for the walkthrough and then one or two days for the actual cleanout work, spaced a week or two apart. For large or complex estates in T or C, I may schedule three trip days total. The economics still work, especially for substantial estates with significant book collections, because the resale and Heirloom Rescue side of the operation often offsets cleanout costs.
When there's work in both Socorro and T or C within a close window, I combine them into a single south corridor trip — walkthrough in Socorro in the morning, T or C in the afternoon, or cleanout work in Socorro first with a T or C check-in stacked into the trip. I'll work out the most efficient routing when I talk. If you have jobs in both communities, tell me both on the first call and I'll save everyone time and effort.
Travel cost is inside the quote — it's not a separate line item. I account for drive time in the overall price structure and the number doesn't change after I've agreed on scope.
Common scenarios along this corridor
Every estate is different, but there are patterns I see often in Socorro County and Sierra County. Here are the situations I'm most prepared for:
The NMT faculty or researcher estate
A professor or researcher who spent a career at New Mexico Tech — in geology, astrophysics, hydrology, explosives engineering, or atmospheric science. The library is substantial and organized by someone who thought about books professionally. There are bound journals in stacks, field notebooks in file drawers, USGS quadrangle maps rolled or folded, and probably some specimen material alongside the books. The adult children may be in other states; they know their parent was serious about their field but may not know what's worth preserving for the academic market versus what goes in the general circulation. My job is to slow down at the shelves, sort with genuine attention to what's there, and give the family a clear picture of what I found before anything leaves the property.
The longtime ranching family — multi-generational
A ranch that has been in the same family through two or three generations. The home may have been added to over time, and there are probably outbuildings — barns, storage sheds, equipment areas — where books, records, and papers have piled up over the decades. I'm there for that paper and the valuables, not to empty the barns of equipment. The documents in this estate require the most careful attention: land-grant paperwork, brand certificates, water rights records, livestock breeding files, and correspondence going back to the territorial period can all coexist in a single filing cabinet. I do a slower first walkthrough on ranching estates, take photographs of documents I'm uncertain about, and never move paper without the family's specific direction. Ranch properties also sometimes have access considerations — unpaved roads, gates, and long driveways — that I confirm in advance of the first trip.
The hot-springs retiree in Truth or Consequences
Someone who came to T or C for the hot springs and the affordable desert living, probably in their fifties or sixties, and built a full life there. The house is typically a modest bungalow in the older part of town or a mid-century home in one of the residential neighborhoods. The library reflects a life of reading and engagement — health and wellness material, Southwest regional history, natural history of the Chihuahuan Desert, travel, personal growth. These are warm, personal collections that deserve a careful reader-to-reader approach rather than bulk disposal. I sort them with attention to where each book will do the most good.
The Elephant Butte lake home clearing
A vacation home or retirement property at Elephant Butte, often owned by someone whose primary residence was in Albuquerque, Texas, or out of state. The family may never have lived in the property full-time, and they're working the estate from a distance. The contents are typically a mix of recreational material — boating, fishing, outdoor recreation — and the general collections of a weekend and retirement home. These estates tend to be more straightforward in scope but require the same remote-coordination approach as any out-of-state situation: video walkthrough, written quote emailed directly, scheduled video check-ins during the work, remote payment. I've done this enough times that the process is well worked out.
Out-of-state family with a rural Socorro County or Sierra County property
Adult children living in Texas, California, or the East Coast who have inherited a rural New Mexico property — a ranch, a farm, a piece of land with a house on it. They may have visited rarely and have limited knowledge of what's in the house. They're trying to manage the estate without making multiple trips to New Mexico, and they need someone they can trust to handle the property accurately and report back honestly. I do video walkthroughs for situations like this, send written scopes with photos attached, and communicate clearly throughout the work. My goal is to handle everything so the family doesn't have to be on-site at every step.
How the cleanout runs — adapted for distance
The process is the same as for any estate I work, with adaptations for the drive. Here's the full sequence:
The first call. You call or text 702-496-4214. I talk through the property — location, approximate size and contents, timeline, any complications (probate, multiple heirs, access, rural property considerations). I tell you honestly whether I can schedule it, and when. No charge, no commitment on either side.
Free walkthrough. I drive down on a scheduled day, walk every room and outbuilding, take photographs, make notes. For ranch properties I'll ask about access in advance. For combined Socorro and T or C trips, I may schedule both walkthroughs back-to-back in one trip. The walkthrough is free and takes two to four hours depending on the size of the property.
Written quote. Within a day or two of the walkthrough, I send a written quote: itemized scope, fixed price, what's included, what's excluded, timeline. For estates with substantial book collections, I explain the "no out-of-pocket" pathway — the resale and Heirloom Rescue side of the operation often offsets cleanout costs, particularly for NMT faculty libraries and serious regional collections. I won't promise that until I've walked the property, but it applies more often than people expect.
Sign-off. The personal representative or family signs off on scope and price. The number doesn't change after that unless the scope changes in writing. This applies equally to Socorro, T or C, and anywhere else I work.
The work. Books, papers, media, and valuables come back to the Albuquerque warehouse for careful sorting. Heirloom Rescue items — anything with potential family, scholarly, or collector significance — are pulled and presented to the family before any disposition decision is made. If you've also got clothing, outdoor gear, or working electronics with life left in them, I can take those as donation pickups on the same trip. Furniture, appliances, and general junk aren't part of the free clearing — if they're in the agreed scope I handle them as a paid add-on, otherwise I can point you to a hauler. I send photos and check-ins throughout the work.
Documentation and close-out. Written acknowledgment of donated material for the estate file. Photo documentation before and after if requested. Confirmation that the property is clear and ready for the next step — sale, rental, transfer, or continued family use.
Books, e-waste, and donations from this corridor
Books from Socorro and T or C estates come back to the Albuquerque warehouse for sorting. The NMT faculty libraries — geology, astrophysics, technical engineering texts — get careful condition review and are routed to buyers and institutions in the academic used-book market who will actually use them. Southwest regional libraries go into the broader NMLP circulation. Children's books reach the teachers and families they're meant for. The health and wellness material from T or C estates, the naturalist libraries from the bosque area, the mining history from Magdalena — each stream gets attention appropriate to its category.
Working electronics and e-waste from properties this far south come back to Albuquerque for my regular recycling process when the volume justifies the transport. For smaller amounts, I'll identify local recycling options in Socorro or T or C. Either way, electronics don't end up in the trash — that's a firm policy regardless of where the job is. Clothing, textiles, and outdoor or sporting gear that still have life in them ride back as donation pickups too; those are standing NMLP services I'm glad to fold into a trip.
Furniture, appliances, and general household clutter are a different matter — they aren't part of the free book-and-valuables clearing. If you want them gone too, I'll either quote them as a paid add-on or recommend a furniture and appliance hauler. Both Socorro and T or C have local donation ecosystems — thrift stores, community organizations, informal networks among longtime residents. For items with genuine local significance, there may be community institutions or historical societies that want them. I'll flag those conversations during the walkthrough.
One note on documentation: I provide written acknowledgment of donated material for the estate file. These are appropriate for estate-accounting purposes. They are not tax-deduction receipts — I'm a for-profit business and donations are not tax-deductible through me.
Socorro and T or C estate cleanout — common questions
How does the drive work, and does it add significantly to the cost?
Socorro is about 75 miles south on I-25 — roughly an hour and fifteen minutes from the warehouse. Truth or Consequences is about 150 miles south, around two and a quarter hours. Both are on the same highway. Travel cost is inside the quote, not a separate line item. For Socorro, the logistics feel similar to any day-trip distance job. For T or C, I plan as dedicated trip days — a full day for larger estates, combining the drive efficiently. I don't add a travel surcharge on top of the quoted price; it's absorbed in how the scope is priced. For substantial estates, the economics work well because the resale value of the collections often offsets cleanout costs.
Can you handle an NMT faculty estate with a scientific or technical library?
Yes, and these are among the most interesting cleanouts I do. NMT faculty libraries in geology, astrophysics, hydrology, explosives engineering, or atmospheric science are specialized in ways that general estate operators aren't equipped to sort accurately. I know enough about each discipline to pull what has value in the academic used-book market, flag what has archival or institutional significance, and route the rest appropriately. Bound professional journals, annotated textbooks, field notebooks, USGS reports, and laboratory records all get attention rather than bulk disposal. If the family isn't sure what might be significant, I'll walk them through what I found on a video call after the initial sort.
What about ranching family records — land grants, water rights, brand certificates?
This is the category I'm most careful about. Multi-generation ranching family papers in Socorro County and Sierra County can include documents with current legal significance — land-grant records, water rights adjudication files, grazing lease records, brand certificates. I do not make disposition decisions on any of this unilaterally. During the walkthrough I identify and photograph document collections. All paper goes back to the family or the estate attorney for their direction. Nothing that looks like it might have legal significance moves until someone with authority over the estate has reviewed it. This slows the process down a little, but it's the right approach.
Do you work in the T or C hot-springs district specifically?
Yes. The downtown hot-springs district — the area around the historic bathhouses along the Rio Grande — is a regular part of my T or C work. The older bungalows and cottages in that area have their own architectural character and their own estate type. The buildings are compact and the haul-out routes are straightforward. The contents reflect over a century of health-tourism culture — wellness, natural medicine, hydrotherapy, spa culture, the personal libraries of people who built their lives around the therapeutic springs. I sort this material with genuine attention to what the health-seeker market values versus what's general reading.
Can you combine a Socorro job and a T or C job on the same trip?
Yes, and this is often the most efficient approach. Socorro and T or C are about 75 miles apart on I-25 — roughly an hour. If there are walkthroughs or work days needed in both communities within a close window, I can combine them into a single south trip. Tell me about both properties on the first call and I'll lay out the most efficient scheduling. Sometimes combining trips makes a job that would otherwise be marginal in logistics work very comfortably. I'd rather have both jobs scheduled efficiently than stretch two separate trips across two separate weeks.
What about rural property access — unpaved roads, locked gates, no utilities?
I ask about access during the first call and confirm again before the first trip. Rural ranch properties in Socorro County and Sierra County often involve unpaved county roads, locked gates requiring access codes or keys, long distances from the nearest paved road, and sometimes no running water or electricity at the property. None of these are disqualifying — I plan around all of them. What I need is accurate information in advance so I'm not arriving unprepared. A locked gate I don't know about wastes a day trip; a locked gate I know about is a logistics note in the schedule. Be straightforward with me about access and I'll be straightforward with you about what it means for scheduling.
Ready to talk about a Socorro or T or C estate?
Call or text anytime. Free walkthrough, written quote, no out-of-pocket for many estates with substantial book collections. I know this stretch of I-25 well, and the drive is on me.
