Three generations now at Trails West
By Paul Weideman
T he Grovers are celebrating 2010 with three generations

of the family working at Coldwell Banker Trails West
Realty, Ltd. The tradition began nearly three decades
ago when John E. Grover and his wife, Joel Faye Bennet,
founded Trails West Realty in Santa Fe.
That was in 1981. Four years later, they became a
Coldwell Banker affiliate. John was the company’s owner/
broker until 1995, when it was sold to Brian and Carol
Nelson.
“They owned three other Coldwell Banker franchises in
New Mexico,” John Grover said. “They later sold it to their
son and daughter-in-law, Mike and Theresa Nelson, in
Alamogordo. They own the franchise there and another in
Ruidoso.”
Coldwell Banker, founded in 1906, has 3,300 residential
real estate offices worldwide, and 97,000 sales associates.
In 1996, Jonnalyn, one of the Grovers’ four daughters,
joined the Trails West Realty team. A year and a half ago,
the owners asked her to be managing broker after Chuck

his splendid, multifunction
house wraps around a big
courtyard with a koi-filled pond,
mature aspen and cherry trees,
and lots of ivy and planted containers.
Through a gate on the other side of the
courtyard is Canyon Road and, around the
corner, Cristo Rey Church.
The property, owned by architect John T.
Midyette III and his wife, Brenda Midyette,
is nicknamed Casa de Dos Aguas. Just
below the back porch is the channel for the
Acequia Madre, the 400-year-old “mother
ditch” of Santa Fe, and below that flows the
Santa Fe River.
“In a wet year, between the acequia
and the river, it sounds like you’re in the
mountains here,” John Midyette said.
He bought the property in 1983,
remodeling it to serve as his architecture
office and as quarters for a business called
Architectural Antiques Ltd. (Next door,

jewelry and antiques.)
