Who we are
Raton Rentals website describes homes and apartments in Raton, New Mexico managed by Raton Rentals, L.L.C. Beginning fall of 2016, we've sold most of our places.
The company is authorized to rent or sell any of the properties listed on this website and occasionally other properties which are not listed here. In addition to outright sales, some of the properties on this website can be sold with "seller financing" on a real estate contract. In the local area, a real estate contract is often referred to as a rent-to-own. When we do a rent-to-own, we arrange a closing through a title company so the buyer is assured of having a clear title, and the seller is assured of having a binding contract.

Overview of Raton Rentals LLC
From 1994 to the present, we purchased houses, apartments, and mobiles in the Raton New Mexico area that needed some fix up and in 2014 we bought a few in Trinidad Colorado. Licensed contractors were hired to redo the plumbing and electrical systems. If roof or foundation repair was required, this would also be done in the initial phase, along with interior remodeling in some locations. Each property was evaluated for insulation, proper landscape drainage, fences, parking, and whatever was needed to make the home or apartment a pleasant, comfortable environment. Many of the locations also had the windows modernized. The goal has always been to provide decent, affordable, dependable living spaces at reasonable prices. (Update in 2018: We have sold most of our properties)
Philosophies We Live By
“We are all on the same team.” Some landlords and some tenants tend to see the landlord-tenant relationship as adversarial. We approach it as a cooperative venture.
Another concept we have adopted is, “Tenants are temporary but neighbors are permanent.” We ask the neighbors to let us know if our tenants are causing problems in the neighborhood.
"Each person deserves respect." We expect to be treated with courtesy and respect by our tenants and we treat our tenants the same way.
"Every day is a blessing and an opportunity to do something good." Having survived health challenges, Mr Fox developed the attitude of appreciating each day and tried to infuse this attitude into Raton Rentals LLC. We strive to do things with humor, dignity, and integrity. We keep an eye toward helping others and bettering the world we live in.
"There is plenty for everyone." We have enough for ourselves so we enjoy offering opportunities for others to get something going for themselves in terms of home ownership by selling our rent-to-own properties at very affordable prices and monthly payment amounts that are less than what we would charge for rent.
