The Rose Garden | Shane Dolinski | Qualifying Broker & Real Estate Investor

In this conversation, Lucas sits down with Shane Dolinski (Qualifying Broker & lead of Elevated Real Estate Services at Realty1 of New Mexico) to break down what’s happening in the Albuquerque market—and what buyers, sellers, and investors should be thinking about right now. Shane brings a rare mix of boots-on-the-ground broker experience and 25+ years of local investing (rentals, flips, and short-term rentals), plus practical guidance for first-time buyers and anyone looking to build long-term wealth through real estate.
