Gene Hackman‘s New Mexico property won’t have a tough time selling despite some tough circumstances … at least according to real estate agents in the area.

Gene, his wife Betsy Arakawa and one of their dogs were found dead in their secluded Santa Fe estate earlier this year, and the place was infested with dead rodents and rats’ nests … but realtors say neither instance should be a dealbreaker when it comes time for the property to hit the open market.

Ken Martinez of Keller Williams Realty, Jer Collins of Exp Realty and Shak Bani from Santa Fe Properties all agreed … the rodent problems will be cleaned up, and the home’s secluded location is going to be the big selling point.

New Mexico realtors aren’t required to disclose that Gene and Betsy died in the home when showing it to potential buyers … but those we talked to didn’t think the fact the actor and his wife were found dead inside the home would be a big deal anyways.

Collins even told us the news coverage and public interest in Gene’s death might intrigue some folks into buying.

We’re told it’s standard for homes in the area to have to deal with pests and rodents … and the next owners could do a better job of prevention.

Ken Martinez said that it is a beautiful home in a great neighborhood and he would gladly take the listing if he had the opportunity.

To be clear, there’s no indication Gene’s home is going up for sale any time soon … but it’s interesting to know there will be a market for it should the time come.
