Todd Davis | Owner & Sales
Bringing energy, dedication and creative customer service ideas to Casas de Santa Fe, the city’s premier boutique property management and vacation rental agency, is Real Estate Broker, Todd Davis. Todd has been a Santa Fe fan since purchasing a historic Eastside District adobe as a second home in 2000. His passion for homes began 18 years ago when he produced trade shows and subsequently operated his own trade show company serving the homebuilding and kitchen/bath markets. Todd honed in on real estate after he sold his company to JP Morgan, moved to Santa Fe as a full-time resident in 2005 and became a licensed broker. Putting his own creative spin on vacation rentals, he established an incentive program for the flourishing movie industry, offering exclusive homes and services to a range of Hollywood stars, such as John Travolta, Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger and many others during their stays in Santa Fe during movie production. Todd is very active in the community supporting Site Santa Fe, the Center for Contemporary Arts, Art Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Community Foundation.

Richard Barger | Associate Broker
Richard Barger is a Santa Fe–based professional whose career spans the arts, nonprofit performing arts, property management, homecare, and real estate.
Barger joined Casas de Santa Fe in January 2024, beginning his work with the company in its Homecare Department. In April 2024, he became Manager of the Homecare Department, assuming responsibility for overseeing the department while supporting the company’s clients and properties. He subsequently obtained his New Mexico real estate license and transitioned to the company’s Leasing Team, where he now works as a Short-Term Leasing Agent. In this role, he combines his experience in homecare, property operations, and client service with his knowledge of Santa Fe’s residential real-estate and short-term rental market.
Prior to joining Casas de Santa Fe, Barger had a long career in the performing and visual arts. He spent nearly two decades with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, where he worked across many aspects of the organization, including operations and the development of its Sally S. Levy Opera Center. He had previously worked with the Santa Fe Opera and joined Opera Theatre of Saint Louis as an intern in 1990.
Barger later entered the commercial art world and became a co-founder and gallery director of David Richard Gallery, established in Santa Fe in 2010 with David Eichholtz. The gallery developed a reputation for exhibitions focused on postwar and contemporary American abstraction, including Color Field painting, geometric abstraction, Op Art, Minimalism, Pop Art, and related movements. In 2017, the gallery expanded its presence to New York, establishing a Chelsea location and further developing its exhibition program.
Across these diverse professional chapters, Barger has built a career centered on operations, client relationships, property stewardship, the arts, and organizational leadership. His transition into licensed real estate and short-term leasing represents a natural extension of his longstanding experience working with properties, organizations, clients, and the Santa Fe community.
