At Home In The Vail Valley...

" We have purchased and sold several properties in the Vail Valley over the past 20 years and Steve has been our broker every time. We would never consider using anyone else because Steve and Lea go above and beyond to make sure everything goes smoothly. They are the consummate professionals. "

- Shari Leventhal

" We could not have had a better experience with our realtor Carling Bennett or SSF. My wife, our three daughters and I all fell in love with Beaver Creek upon our first visit, but knew little about this real estate market. While we were interested in purchasing a property, the thought of doing so was a bit daunting. Carling did a fantastic job of helping us get comfortable with the market so that when the right property presented itself we were ready to move forward. Thank you Carling and SSF for making our dream come true! "

- Andrew Morf

" We have worked with Andrew for 3 years. He is extremely helpful finding properties that we like. The process to purchase and sell real estate becomes stress free with Andrew’s experience. After 6 transactions we were very pleased to have Andrew help us again. After all the sales he is even better when it comes to follow up and helping us find vendors for any issues we need to address. He continues to follow up on all our real estate needs. "

" Purchasing Real Estate is one of life's most important yet difficult transactions.......it is critical that you have a broker who is responsive and one you can trust. Scot is one that accomplishes both of those requirements every time.....I would know, we have done 3 successful transactions together in 2 years. "

" Dixi was exemplary as always. "

" When I decided to sell my personal residence, I enlisted a handful of respected and successful brokers within my company, Slifer Smith and Frampton, to assist me with pricing. One of my first calls was to Donna Caynoski because I considered her advice and expertise invaluable. Donna provided my wife and I with a fresh outlook on the value of our property that enjoys a rare location on the banks of Lake Creek. Rather than simply analyzing the numbers, she imagined the personal connection that a potential buyer would form with the property. She knew that it would be an emotional buy and that the right buyer for the property would pay a premium. Donna was right and we were fortunate that the buyer stepped forward quickly. We sincerely appreciated Donna’s valuable expertise that resulted in a higher price than many brokers thought possible. "

" Happy Power is a professional in the truest sense. She is knowledgeable, thorough, ethical, and kind. It is apparent that Happy cares about her clients, her colleagues, and the community. From start to finish, Happy kept us informed and focused on the big picture. No matter how busy Happy might have been, we always felt we were her #1 priority. It was a pleasure working with Happy Power. "

- Veronica Anne Clark Rev. Trust

" We first had contact with Hillary McSpadden and the McSpadden Team 4-5 years ago . Their professionalism in addressing our needs at that time was not forgotten. When we called Hillary McSpadden, in mid-March, to discuss possibly listing our Lionshead condo unit, she responded quickly, efficiently and professionally - outlining proposed listing terms and providing us with comprehensive data on active listings and recent and pending sales, so that we could make an informed decision on our asking price. She then handled the marketing of our unit in a way that quickly resulted in competing offers at above our asking price - leading to a sale. From start to finish, everything moved forward to a smooth and happy conclusion. "

" Robert went above and beyond in every way, and was amazing to work with throughout our home buying process. Robert and his team were friendly and kind, and his experience was evident through his professionalism. Throughout our search, Robert was prompt, informative, attentive, and honest, and he always had time for each and every one of our endless questions. When we found the perfect home within our budget, Robert was instrumental in delivering a solid and competitive offer package, and his relationships with essential parties, such as lenders and home inspectors, was greatly appreciated and made the entire process seamless. If you are searching for a real estate agent that will make your home buying process simple and fun, look no further that Robert Lee! "

- Matt McIntyre

" We can't thank you enough for making our home purchase such a great experience. Jay not only walked us through getting started with the initial search, but his extensive professional rapport with everyone we worked with every step of the way made moving through the entire process effortless. From suggesting lenders, title company, to the contractor we used for a complete remodel, even down to the flooring we used on his recommendation. We couldn't be more impressed Jay's casual/professional approach to keepin it real estate. "

" Both Steve Cardinale and his assistant Lea Zugschwerdt were a delight to work with. They were a help in deciding which unit (interval ownership) to buy, took pictures showing location and views and had provided a good indication as to the current market and prices. The entire experience was seamless and went off without a problem. I would highly recommend Steve, Lea and the firm to any friends. "

He's a true professional and knows how to get things done in a constantly changing market. "

- Satchele Burns

" In a word Donna is "amazing". I worked with Donna both as a buyer and as a seller. She is incredibly knowledgeable, personable and incredibly easy to work with. She listens and she develops strong relationships with both her buyers and sellers. She always goes the extra mile. She attends to every detail from how the home shows to how it is finally delivered to the buyer. Donna makes what could be a stressful process very easy. I could not recommend her more highly and, would not consider doing a real estate transaction in the Valley without Donna. "

" I had the pleasure of working with Didi during a transaction where my client purchased a home that she and Ric Souto had listed in Strawberry Park, Beaver Creek. The transaction progressed smoothly to closing with the help of Didi's impressive professionalism. Never did I have to worry if things were being handled effectively. I rest assured that everything needed from their end was taken care of efficeiently. "

" Kirk with Kelly’s assistance provided prompt attention to our needs. The first lot we selected and intended to place an offer was already, unfortunately, under contract. After quickly (in one morning) locating another acceptable lot for us, Kirk and team efficiently assisted us with the successful purchase of the property. We’re very pleased with the process and provided services. "

- Jonathan Lewis

" The team from SSF (Tina Vardaman and Patrice Ringler) did a great job of balancing the needs of all of the parties to the transaction, and effectively managed the transaction from beginning to end. Tina and Patrice are very professional and thorough, and a delight to work with. "

" I have spent the past five years skiing and enjoying all that the Vail Valley has to offer. During that time, I dreamed of the day I would be a homeowner. I met Led Gardner through a mutual friend and our relationship began as ski buddies, with Led as our consummate guide to the slopes during the day and the village during the evenings. Led and his wife Connie then introduced us to the joys of the beautiful summers in Vail, and all the wonderful warm weather activities that the Vail Valley has to offer. When the time was right for me to become a homeowner, I knew that Led's impeccable attention to detail and his thorough knowledge of Vail real estate would prove invaluable in my search for the ideal second home. What was better, Led truly represented my interests as a buyer, something I found very comforting and relaxing. Led's superb attention to detail along with his ability to listen to our thoughts and requests helped us find the perfect home in Vail, one that was exactly what we were looking for. I cannot wait until I am ready for our next purchase! Led, thank you very much. $880,000 purchase in Vail "

" We were referred to Crissy from a Realtor in Denver and still can't believe how lucky we were to find her!Because we were making day trips from Denver to view properties she made the most of whatever time we had. After several viewings I felt that she was VERY intune with what we were looking for which helped in eliminating certain properties and exploring others. She is truly an expert in the valley, helping us to navigate through the many options we were considering. Once we had decided to move forward with a property she provided all of the data that supported our offer. Our offer ended up being accepted on New Years and to make things even more complicated we were out of the country, Crissy went above and beyond to get the job done. Crissy will always be our go to Realtor and we can not recommend her highly enough! "

- Trip and Susan Stern

" Thank you again for all the time you have spent on our must see everything interests. You have remained positive and motivating each and every visit.

"

" We've worked with STEVE CARDINALE - and Lea Zugschwertz who joined Steve - in a total of six transactions over the past 18 years. They are knowledgable, honest, fun to work with -- everything you could hope for when you are buying or selling real estate. I highly recommend each of them - and can't imagine working with anyone else in the Vail Valley. "

" Steve Cardinale is the Best Broker in the World ! "

" Working with Molly was truly one of the best real estate experiences we have ever had! She was on point with everything from the offer (which was a competitive process) to the contract negotiation and inspection resolution. Our deal was complex and at times difficult. She remained calm and strong and we appreciated her constant communication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for your perfect mountain home! "

- Elizabeth Mallon

" George Streeter impressed us from the very beginning of our dealings with him with the anticipation of selling our home. He did a fantastic job in every way; from sitting down with us to discuss the current state of the real estate market, to hosting Open Houses, to assisting with opening and closing for showings, to marketing our property to not only Slifer realtors but numerous realtors in the Vail Valley, and so much more. George's professional approach in presenting our home was instrumental in our home sale success - no doubt. A few weeks after we closed and had moved out, we had a moment to finally catch our breath. I wrote George a text message and I feel this note shows my/our true feelings for how well he did as our realtor: George, We are finally settling down to most relaxed moment of our day. We just read your kind card - WOW! What a beautiful sentiment. Your card and gift truly shows again what a dedicated realtor you are and were for us during our home sale process. You have nothing but good things ahead and bigger things coming your way. Keep working as hard as you do and continue your prospecting. You will be busier than ever! You earned every penny of your commission George, plus some and every word of recommendation we can offer. We could not have asked for a more committed and honest realtor to work with. Please pass along any clients to us for a referral. When we checked your referrals before moving forward with you as our realtor, we heard nothing but terrific comments. And we too will gladly share our experience. You are not only a wonderful family man, but an honest and hard-working real estate agent. Thank you sincerely! "

- Bruce Meyer

" Heather McInerny was an absolute delight to work with and a rock star of a realtor! Not only did she help us find our dream house, but she helped negotiate a tremendous deal on price and inspection list items that we never would have thought of. Heather knows the Vail Valley and all the players in it, and left no stone unturned while helping us search for and find our home. Our only regret now that we've completed our purchase is that we won't be able to see Heather as much. Thank you for everything! "

- Mary L.

" Tony is on it. He keeps us updated as the transaction goes and certainly follows up on questions that we had. "

- Art & Laura O. Morales

" Our agent was Scot Webster in the Arrowhead office. From our first appointment, Scot made us feel as though we were the most important clients he's ever had, without the slightest hint of patronization. As we worked together in the process of finding the right home for us, we came to learn that respect, professionalism, honesty and personal warmth are the essence of Scot, We've come to trust him implicitly. It's clear that he genuinely likes his role working with clients, and doing what's best for them long term is his mindset. We have dealt with many realtors in our 40 years of adult life. Scot stands head and shoulders above all of them. He's earned our highest recommendation. "

- Timothy J. Latham

" Our experience was fabulous! "

- Lisa Rapier

" We loved working with Jay! He was the perfect fit for our needs. We moved from Chicago to Eagle Valley and we did the entire thing remotely. Jay was so great about being extra helpful since we couldn't be in Colorado to see everything ourselves. He made moving across the country, into our dream home, a breeze. We couldn't have done it without him! "

- Kelly Cavanaugh

Thank you Ann for making or dream come true. "

- Grant M Carnie

" Broby was everything we could've hoped for. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions, some pretty fundamental, and some pretty obscure. Broby was able to answer all of them in a way that reassured us and made us feel comfortable through the entire process. He went out of his way to make sure we were well represented and all our needs were met. "

" I hired Robert to help me purchase my first home and had very specific goals in mind. Robert helped me achieve those goals and more. He even showed me an area I was unfamiliar with that ended up being the perfect location for me. I could not have been happier with the outcome and working with Robert. I would recommend Robert to anyone; his knowledge, negotiation skills, compassion, and demeanor are excellent and he will be your go-to Realtor! "

- Buyer

" We're the Watkins from Austin Westlake and were referred to Jack as we considered (finally) buying in our happy place, Vail Valley. We contacted three realtors asking for thoughts and patience as we were not in a hurry. Jack was immediately responsive, deeply knowledgeable and asked all the right questions. When we met him we were impressed with his approach, professionalism, and advice - so much so that "patience" was no longer necessary: in a four hour drive he helped us find the perfect home in the Valley. His relationships across realtors, title, finance, and other key contacts made the entire process smooth and easy. Highest marks for this class act. "

- Jason C Watkins

" Paul far exceeded all our expectations and has been enormously helpful throughout our search for the right property, contract submission, closing and getting settled into our wonderful new home!

" Our Frost Creek home purchase was all completed from afar and Cathy Jones Coburn made the entire process easy and efficient. She handled all of the logistics, referred us to numerous qualified inspectors and service providers, and provide expert guidance throughout the process. Purchasing a home from long distance can be challenging and Cathy made the entire process enjoyable handling all of the logistics. I would work with Cathy again and would whole-heartedly recommend her to others. "

" Tricia Gould was given a very challenging listing. Meadow Mountain Lot 2 had been on the market for 10 years with another agent/real estate company.

Tricia Gould was very professional and personable and was able to secure the sale which was acceptable to all parties. Her effort was exceptional. "

- James-Seller

" The team of Kim, Kelly and Aaron with SSF were simply amazing. We have used them to both buy and sell real estate several times, and they've never missed a step. Their knowledge of the area, relationship with the community, and approachable professionalism make working with them so easy and simple. They clearly have a great connection with their brokerage office, and are able to 'make things happen' that seemed impossible. Clear and consistent communication is very important to us, and Kelly kept us up to date and informed every step of the way, even when there was nothing we needed to do on our end. I wish I could take them with me when we moved out of the valley! "

- James Gall

They are both very professional and extremely responsive, while at the same time calm, laid-back and friendly, which is a great combo for a real estate transaction!

We highly recommend Steve and Lea to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Vail Valley! "

" Steve and Lea were absolutely great to work with on our recent property sale. From the moment we discussed possibly listing our home to the week we actually did, they helped guide us toward what would be needed to feature our property in the best possible listing time and various listing outlets. The entire process went smoothly and upon listing, we had it sold within 3 days. Then all through the closing process we were kept abreast of the upcoming stages and needs, right up until the actual virtual closing. I would highly recommend Steve as a realtor for any and all of our home buying or selling needs. "

- Jimmy Brenner

" Shane and I couldn't have asked for a better experience in selling our house. We were in a subdivision that had not exceeded its 2008 peak. In speaking with Heather about the realistic sale price we wanted out of our house, she advised us to list at $719K. While she felt it was pushing the envelope a bit, she assured us that she has a gift for listing properties at their "sweet spot" for sale. She was right. With Heather's ability to market our property we were able to get 2 full price offers in 8 days. She then coached us on how to chose between the 2 offers. After we were under contract, the remaining deadlines were also a seamless process. It all honesty, everything was so easy, it didn't seem possible that it was real! "

- Shane Gremmer

" Cathy Jones Coburn did an excellent job presenting good options as they surfaced. She did not waste our time on properties that were not a match. She was also very helpful in the negotiation process. Once under agreement she went above and beyond to help with contacts....inspection firm, lawyer, decorator, etc. "

- John Ballbach

" I was introduced to Ann over the phone after specifically requesting someone thoughtful, patient and genuinely focused on my needs.

" I made Vail my home and Slifer helped me find the right property for my family. They were patient, knowledgeable, thorough and transparent. It has been my best experience acquiring a property.I have purchased other properties and this has been the best experience in acquiring a property thanks to Lindsey and Ric. "

- Niccolo

" Thank you for thinking of me for a broker recommendation for listing your house - I truly appreciate it and I take recommending a broker to service you very seriously. While I can write at length about why it's so important to have the best representation on your property to yield the best return financially and within your time preference - it's also about relationships and matching the very best broker for your property to the client. This has, and continues to be my philosophy and it has never let me down. That said and after much consideration I highly recommend Heather Lemon for your broker. I have a few strong reasons behind my selection, in short - here are a few: - I have personally worked with Heather over the years and continue to follow her success. She has a true PASSION for real estate, for the Vail Valley and works the entire valley. Integrity, Professionalism, Proven Results, Creative, Resourceful, and Go-Getter are just a few qualities she possesses. - She is a licensed lawyer and RE Broker and in all my countless transactions with her over the years, she always got the deal done and closed, always. It goes without saying that she works for YOU and while there are no guarantees - she has a solid track record. Also, the fact that she has a law background - this is a plus when it comes to interpretation of the extensive CO RE Contracts for buying or selling. Out of over 90 brokers in SSF, we hand selected Heather to be a part of the initial launch of the Westin Sales Team and she was very successful in contributing to the success of the development and continues to be a top-producing broker there and throughout the Valley. - Heather has impressive negotiation skills, from working with first time home-buyers to the discerning international businessman, to the wealthy. She is very creative and has a track record - she always amazed me on how she would truly LISTEN to the client, and then get creative to get a deal done. She has a very good reputation of respect among her colleagues and in this valley that is so important. - Heather is a long time local, has raised her lovely family here and her enthusiasm is unmatched by any other broker in this valley. She will genuinely love your house, it's features and will steer you in a solid and honest direction while conveying her enthusiasm for your house to the brokerage community and prospective buyers. This is extremely important as you only get one chance to make the first impression and since buyers are precious - every opportunity has to count - period. - Since Heather will list and sell properties through-out the valley, her knowledge is priceless. And because she is not a broker that has a Eagle development listed or specializes in a specific area like Eagle, her focus will be on your property and that is what you want. Enthusiastic broker, excited about your property working hard to sell your property is a win, win. I'll be completely honest with you - there are many brokers in this valley who will tell you whatever you want to hear in regards to pricing in order to obtain a listing. This is not Heather's tactic - she will be honest, factual based on statistics and area trends of demand to advise you. Then, together as a team - you both and her - can decide on the pricing strategy. This could make all the difference in the world, especially if time is of the essence. Well, these are just a few thoughts and I truly hope you will list with Heather - I promise you, and I know in my heart she is the right broker for you, and for your house. If it's alright with you - I would like to share your contact information with her, along with the property address and request her to reach out to you - perhaps by email, at least with some initial sales and MLS data for the area. It's no pressure at all. "

" Eric Bergund did an outstanding job in locating the appropriate residence for us to purchase. He made himself available at all times to answer questions and work through issues that arose throughout the process. He was thoroughly familiar with the market and took the time to understand our needs and desires. Now that we have purchased a house and are permanently living in Edwards we have a condo which we have owned for 18 years as a vacation home which we will be and will list it for sale with Eric knowing that we will get excellent service.

- Peter & Sandra Burg

" Big thanks to Aaron on the sale of our townhouse! The whole process ended up being more work than expected, but Aaron was always genuinely friendly, courteous, and professional throughout. We suspect that he had to put in significantly more time into our modest sale then would typically be the case, yet he was patient, dedicated, and always made time for our inquiries. Aaron made us feel that he was sincerely interested in our comfort and happiness, not just in completing a sale. We certainly recommend him and would consider his services in the future. "

" Our condo was a 1 bedroom 2 bath unit in Beaver Creek. Our realtor, Ellie Manzi, worked with and for us like it was a million plus dollar house. Our experience with Ellie was extremely positive from signing the contract to signing the closing documents. We thought we were only selecting a real estate agent, but, in addition, we really made a new friend. "

" Eric Burgund was outstanding in our Beaver Creek search during such a competitive market. His local knowledge and professionalism were invaluable as we navigated purchasing a property away from our primary residence. Our search spanned nearly two years and Eric never tired of facilitating showings and fielding our plethora of questions to find us the perfect spot. We are thrilled with our new property! I also cant say enough about the teamwork displayed by the Beaver Creek Highlands team (Eric, Andrew and Molly). This was unique in how they selflessly assist each others clients if anyone is tied up during last minute requests. We would highly recommend engaging Eric and team at Slifer Smith & Frampton if you're looking for a new property in the Vail/Beaver Creek Valley! "

" I've known Steve Cardinale for over 15 years. He showed us the first condo we considered purchasing in Beaver Creek. In 2007 Steve sold us the house that's just sold on Stag Gulch. He also was our realtor when we purchased a condo at the Westin Riverfront, in Avon. Throughout every transaction with Steve, he has made the process move along smoothly and quickly. In the recent sale of Stag Gulch, Steve's guidance and patient perseverance moved this sell to completion. In my experience of working with many realtors around the US, Steve is the most committed, honest, and professional realtor I've worked worked with.

" It was a pleasure to deal with Ed Swinford and Brent Rimel from beginning to end. Under the terrible conditions of Covid, they managed to very quickly sell my house at a very reasonable price. They were extremely competent in guiding me through all aspects of the sale. The closing went amazingly smoothly and professionally. Considering I live 1600 miles away, they obtained help for me to organize handpick and ship our personal items. They arranged for the final clean up and took all of the difficulties in leaving the house. I have had many real estate dealings in my 81 years, and this was the most competent and trouble free sale or purchase. What makes this more interesting is that Ed originally was the broker that sold the condo to me 35 years ago, and that was a very smooth transition also. The whole interaction with the firm and the brokers was a pleasure. I would highly recommend them. Dr. David Kraushaar "

- David Kraushaar

" Diana Mathias is the best! We bought the best condo in Vail with her assistance. She really listens to what you say, and notes how you react to properties she shows, so she never wastes your time showing places you would not be interested in. She keeps her eyes on the market daily, and quickly let's you know if there is something new to see. The day we flew in to show my husband the unit we would likely buy, she introduced us to a property that came on the market that very morning that she viewed early and insisted we see before the one we intended to buy. It was perfect, and we loved it even more. We've been there for a few years now and really still believe it is the best property in all of Vail. She worked well with us and the realtor for the seller, so we were able to negotiate every detail we wanted, and close quickly. It went very smoothly. I would definitely use her again, and highly recommend her to others. "

- David & Kim

" Doug Landin is the hardest working broker I have ever worked with. I have had 3 transactions this year and Doug ran circles around the other brokers. He was always thinking and anticipating next steps and how to strategize to get the property sold. This was a very complex transaction and required a lot of creativity. His advice was critical in getting the transaction completed. This is the second time I have used Doug Landin, and I would use him exclusively for any Vail Valley property. I wish he could have sold my Denver properties "

" Dear Led, I wanted to write to thank you for the exemplary service you rendered to us in the sale of our house at 749 Holden Road in Beaver Creek. From my first contact with you, you went far beyond the normal services, each with the highest degree of quality. I know the normal standard because I was a commercial real estate broker and developer for many years. When I contacted you about my house, you generously offered to personally check the landscape maintenance problem I was having, and continued to do so for several months... and you did not even have the listing on the property. Immediately upon listing, you produced high quality materials and saw that they were distributed on a weekly basis to the right people. I was impressed with your progress reports to me, keeping me informed as to who was looking and what your estimate was as to their interest. Your follow up with needed services to closing were timely and you kept me informed all along the way of any potential problems. Our closing went as smoothly as any in which I have participated. You have my five star recommendation to anyone who would consider your services. You are truly a quality real estate broker. Thank you again for all you have done for us. $4,300,000 sale in Beaver Creek "

" We had an excellent experience working with Happy Power and her team. We had planned on listing our home for sale in May or June 2016. At Happy's suggestion, and because of her experience in the Singletree real estate market, we decided to list our home in late February 2016. Happy realized that there were very few listings in our price range at that time and that our house would receive maximum attention from prospective buyers. Because of Happy's knowledge of market values, we listed our house at a higher price than my wife and I had thought was feasible. Within three weeks we had competing offers at a price level higher that we had anticipated. Happy handled the negotiations in a very professional, competent manner and we sold our house extremely quickly. We recommend Happy and her team at Slifer to any prospective buyer or seller. "

We sold 2 interval ownership property in less than eight weeks, when sales were one or two per month in Beaver Creek. The paperwork is organized for ease of the customer, not the broker. All the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend Steve and all of SSF very highly!! Don Wegmiller "

- Minh Doung

" Eric Burgund certainly deserves a 5 star rating for providing me with service that went far beyond his brokering the Avon Town Home I recently purchased. Not only did he step by step guide me through the online sale which I had purchased sight unseen, I live in FL, but he was there for my children when they were in the area to ski, providing them with helmets and protective gear so they could see the unit while it was under construction. He periodically sent photos of the construction progress and now that I own the home I get a monthly news letter informing me of local happenings. Yesterday Eric called to let me know how much snow the area has received to date. You deserve the 5! "

Whenever we need any real estate information about the Vail Valley, Steve has become our #1 go-to person. We have no hesitation in recommending him. "

" From day one, the Griffin.Cryer.Burgund team exceeded all of our expectations. Coming from a different state and looking for a vacation home in the Beaver Creek/Avon area, we were naturally nervous about the process and finding the right home. The team were instrumental in not only helping us find and purchase the property that we love, but importantly being a partner with us every step of the way. The level of professionalism, responsiveness, and thoroughness were unparalleled to what we have experienced in the past. They went above and beyond to ensure that every detail and concern was addressed to give us the necessary peace of mind and comfort throughout this process leading to our ultimate purchase of our vacation home. The level of attention to our needs was extraordinary and incredibly appreciated in helping shepherd us through this process, especially considering that we were not familiar with the local market and practices. We highly recommend the Griffin.Cryer.Burgund team to anyone looking to purchase a home. "

" Aaron is the man. I was new to the valley 2 years ago and met with him to look at a small condo. The small condo was nice but not my ultimate goal. Aaron worked with myself and girlfriend for almost a full TWO YEARS searching and looking and calling us whenever something interesting came up in our budget. We finally found the property that fit our style. Then Aaron really began to shine. Being a first time homebuyer I had question upon question each one answer with no hesitation or and with no delay. He was instrumental in coordinating with the other broker, the lender, and my self for any item that needed attention. I can honestly say Aaron made the entire process as almost hassle free as buying a home can be. 11/10 would recommend. "

- Chase Benton

" We want to thank you and Heather for all your efforts in helping us through the recent sale of our home. When someone is over a thousand miles away, it was comforting to know that our home was always prepared for showings and presented by you professionally and factually. Although the home was not on the market for a very long time, your communications about each showing and the follow up feedback were always timely and truthful...and very much appreciated. Other brokers have promised your commitment to service, but you are the only realtor we have ever worked with to actually deliver. As you know, we have purchased and sold many properties. Once we were under contract, your coordination with movers, utilities, inspectors, the title company and our property manager actually made this transaction a pleasant experience. Thank you! "

" I reached out to Molly and her team several years ago to better understand how my property fit the overall market in the Vail Valley. Molly demonstrated great knowledge of the Highlands complex where they have an office and the Vail Valley market in general. She provided a fair assessment of the value of my property at the time and we agreed to stay in touch which we did over the next few years. This Spring she and her team reached out to give me an update based upon current market dynamics. Based on their assessment I made a decision to sell and the result was totally consistent with their assessment. The sale process was quick, simple and easy. Molly and her team did an outstanding job! "

She was extremely responsive to our questions and concerns, promptly returning our phone calls and texts, and suggesting solutions to our issues.

- Frederick Gast

" Where do I start? Our experience with Jack was the best, by far, of all my real estate buy/sell experiences, for me this was my 17th home! For the sale of this specific Lake Creek home we interviewed many realtors in the area, reflected on what we needed for best of attributes - Jack was really it, we bonded very well. From the first meeting, key to us was how we would be marketed/promotion. Jack and his partner held open houses, got us on tour lists and with Jack's heritage as master photographer in Vail Valley, he took the best arial/drone footage along with the slick pieces that put us as leading edge(the home has unique killer valley views, to comp it didn;t do it justice). It also was terrific he rallied for us to get cover of Slifer Smith & Frampton magazine for a month! Key to closing is Jack also became the 'Jack of all trades' - he really went through hoops to help us to final closing. My husband/I travel, work.. our schedule is terrible - Jack truly made it all happen! I guess the best that I/we can say is we'll work with Jack again in a year on another home sale - wouldn't chose any differently as very thankful for Jack! "

He and his assistant, Lea, are fantastic. We are from out-of-state and they made the transaction incredibly easy. They provided us with the information we needed and we able to work with our vacation schedule so it didn't even seem like we used much of our vacation time to work on making our offer. Their knowledge of the market made us very confident in our decision and guided us in a positive way. It was a great experience from start to finish. We would highly recommend their services when looking for your next property! "

She is extremely thorough, detail oriented, always very well prepared and knowledgeable on the market. She has many years of experience in Vail Valley and very deep relationships with all levels of professionals in the Valley.

" As a first-time home buyer, Carling's help was invaluable. Before we put in an offer, she made me feel comfortable and confident with the whole process. Her knowledge of the market is incredible, and she was able to get me in to look at my new home and prepare an offer before it had even listed. She did a great job of negotiating with the selling broker while we were going under contract and through the inspection. Throughout the whole process, Carling ensured there was very little work necessary on my end. I know home-buying (especially the first time!) is supposed to be incredibly stressful, but everything went smoothly. Compared to some of my friends who recently bought their first homes, my experience was a cake-walk! "

- Sarah A. Wilson

" We've had the pleasure to work with Heather on the purchase and sale of multiple properties in the Vail Valley. Heather's business acumen and understanding of the Colorado of real estate market is second to none. She truly makes the buying and selling process as smooth and seamless as possible. From our very first meeting we were immediately impressed by her thoughtfulness, diligence and attention to detail. We are so grateful for all of Heather's expertise and helping us find our new home. We could not recommend her more and look forward to working with her again in the future. "

- David and Catherine Sule

" We were selling my parents property from out of state. Every imaginable complication seemed to find this transaction. Kathleen was part detective, part psychoanalyst, part mediator, part negotiator, part property manager--all while being wholly professional and a pleasure to work with. Her expertise in business and ease with people made it possible to bring all the moving parts to a successful close. We are extremely grateful for her counsel and help throughout this process! "

She keeps her clients well informed of contractual deadlines and nuances of the transaction that only come from her experience and expertise of the local real estate market.

- William DesPortes

" I wanted to take a moment to thank the both of you. Not just for your professionalism, which by the way is exceptional but for the pleasant and caring way you are. I’ve come to realize how trying your profession can be. Despite how stressful your day may be it never comes across on the phone. Much of what I do professionally is customer service. I know how trying it can be. I wanted you to know that I appreciate both of you and your amazing team. "

- Jim Brunner

" Nancy did a great job and we feel she dug in for us when some questions and unexpected events occured on the sellers part. "

- Jim White

" We chose Cathy to represent the sale of our homesite though we had just purchased it two months prior. Not only did she invests in videography and professional photos, she organized the heavily valued file of information for buyers so they were shown the immediate value of this property given all of the reports that had been completed. It sold quickly and we made money on the sale after a short time owning it. We attribute this profit due to Cathy’s team preliminary prep work. Our property had more value than others to a buyer. My husband and I were thrilled with Cathy and her team from day one. From the moment they met with us at our home we received the best in service, follow up, communication and information we needed to make the right decisions. Thank you for making this transaction go so smoothly Cathy, you and your team are exceptional. "

- John C Pfeiffer

" It was very beneficial from a buyer’s standpoint to work with George when we had to find a new home in a difficult market. He is a longtime local, has a lot of professional and personal connections he would use to help us out, and was in the “know” with possible properties. He would also respond immediately to any questions and if he didn’t know the answer, he would find out. I don’t think we would have found a home we are so happy with without him. "

- Adam Ostmeyer

" I have been in real estate for over 40 years (in Florida) and have worked with many hundreds of brokers and agents in that time. Doug Landin, our Slifer Smith & Frampton broker, is one of very few who truly meets the high standards of professionalism, diligence and customer service. Doug has gone above and beyond to help us successfully negotiate and purchase our perfect Vail vacation property. Thank you!! "

- Martin A. List

" Where do we begin in properly thanking you?! Your patience, advice, warmth, knowledge, care, friendship... we could go on and on. The process of finding a forever home is a taxing one, especially with our list of demands. But you found a way to make it painless and enjoyable. You truly steered us to the right property. For everything, we could not be more grateful. "

- Erin and John-Michael Liles, Vail

" Jack was helpful throughout the process, even taking Super Bowl Sunday to show property. A couple of ski days, and later a bike ride along the trail. I'll look forward to getting back out there often, for many reasons, of course, but in part to catch up with Jack. I appreciate all his help and look forward to ongoing friendship. "

- Bert

" Team K2 got the job done during a very difficult time - when we listed our home, in-person showings and open houses were not allowed by the Stay at Home order. They were extremely prompt in getting our home ready to sell and marketing prepared, including virtual tours and great photography. They were creative and used their resources in finding the right buyer and stayed persistent and communicative during the entire process. We were also buying a new property at the time and they helped us navigate all the dates and coordination of making that happen. We are thrilled with the sale and purchase of our homes! "

- Sara Roberts

We have been owners out there for 16 years and therefore qualify for this level of membership, and have signed up.

" Janice did a great job for us. My father had worked with her for years and he left us a lot in Eagle-Vail that we wanted to sell. Knowing of this previous relationship I got in touch with Janice who was very knowledgeable and confident about the area and she listed our lot at a higher value than our recent appraisal. Living overseas she made the process very easy for us. She sold it in on the same day that the listing went out and even had some back up offers if this one didn’t work out. Overall we were very pleased with her and if the occasion arose would have no hesitation working with her again "

- Michelle Lynriley

" Highly recommend Jack Affleck with Slifer, Smith and Frampton! Some real estate transactions are easy and quick; this was not one of those. Thankfully, we had Jack on our side and he expertly shepherded our contract along for 10 months and across the finish line! Jack made sure all the t's were crossed and i's were dotted and was quick with recommendations and problem solving throughout the process. It made the process so much less stressful (than it could have been) and we love the idea of working with Jack again in the future. "

- Renee Hall

" Well, it could not have happened without you. Barbara and I are forever grateful for your dedication and diligence in concluding the sale of our property. We know it was a challenge and could not be more pleased with the outcome. We sincerely appreciate all you did to make this happen. "

" I want to let you know that I admire you deeply. You are a beautiful, elegant woman that works hard and knows her business like no other, that's why you are the best. Congratulations! Well deserved! As a woman, and as an example to my kids, it is always inspiring to meet people like you. But there is not a lot of people like you! Thanks again and I offer you my admiration and appreciation for the purchase of our One Beaver Creek residence. "

- Gabriela Ramirez

" Lissa Tyler was my broker on the sale of my Westin Unit. She was the third broker I used and was the only one able to sell the unit in less than 6 months. However, that is not the sole reason I would recommend Lissa. More importantly, and most impressively, I recommend Lissa highly to represent you in any real estate transaction it is because of the unusual circumstances surrounding our sale. Every real estate transaction is unique and requires some flexibility and ability to negotiate to keep a deal alive. In our case, our deal had fallen apart, we had a signed contract but the buyer cancelled and Lissa through skill, patience and negotiating power was able to nurture and resuscitate the deal and actually get it done with the same buyer for more than our original contract and with a closing of less than 3 weeks. This was no easy feat. My only regret is that I don't have more property to list with Lissa. "

- Steven M Hacker, MD

" Catherine kept me informed as the purchasing was going on. She answered many of my concerns. "

- Ann Catherine Hokeness

" We love working with Heather and could not imagine working with anyone else. Heather gets the job done and she does it well.

She is prompt, thorough, and efficient. We can’t thank you enough Heather for yet another transaction of selling and buying! "

" Matt was very professional and addressed our needs very well. "

- Jack Wolf

" I would be proud to recommend Ed Swinford to you for all your real estate needs. There is no other agent that can surpass Ed in his knowledge, experience, and perspective of this business. He is a kind, humble, honest, patient, trustworthy representative of his company. He is easy-going and willing to work with and for his clients to meet all their expectations. "

- Jan Sackbauer

" Our realtor was professional, knowledgeable and realistic about the Vail market. She helped us upgrade to our dream home and sold our current unit in less than 5 hours after listing. She helped quite us in terms of preparing our unit for sale and worked with us throughout the process. She always took our calls and responded immediately. Having worked with other mountain brokers in Summit county, we found out how spoiled we were with SSF and Sarah! "

- Liana

" We were recommended to Happy by a business associate who had worked with Happy. Our experience was superb from start to finish. There are so many moving parts when looking for a second home, negotiating offers, thoroughly reading contracts, inspection reports and more. A lot of these details had to be long distance as our permanent residence is in Dallas. Trust is a huge factor in a realtor/home buyer relationship and we felt that Happy was trustworthy. Happy was always patient with our desires to make a deliberate decision on the home we purchased. She worked very hard on our behalf to complete the sale. We can honestly say our professional relationship was great with Happy but we can also say we count her as a new friend in our Singletree neighborhood! "

- Denise and Randy Ford

- Andrew Smith

" Andrew and his team were very professional from our first meeting. Andrew went beyond what was expected as a realtor to help in any way we needed him. We would highly recommend him to be on your team. "

- Michael A. Mutter

" Sometimes it can be difficult to find the right house, but it was easy with Brooke. We looked at houses that were just ok but then found one that would be amazing for our family. I shared information with Brooke also everyday as we bought our home. It was even better that she made it her job to make it all go well. WOW...thank you, Brooke, for being the best team member we could have had! "

- Karah

" My wife and I have had the pleasure of doing real estate transactions, first with Pam and then Pam and Brook for 20+ years. Both are extremely knowledgeable, professional and have a superior understanding of the market. Pam assisted us in purchasing a property in Cordillera and helped us work with a difficult builder. Some yeas later, Pam represented us in selling that home and buying a condo in Bachelor Gulch. We considered Pam and Brook friends then and we still do. "

Throughout the entire process, Janice was extremely helpful and worked with us to understand our needs and to find the right property for us. Once we were under contract, Janice was a bulldog helping us ensure we met all the deadlines - particularly for inspections and mortgage funding. Janice's connections into the Vail valley community proved to be a huge differentiator to help us knock down any closing issues quickly. She truly is a star agent! "

" In listing our home in the exclusive neighborhood of Strawberry Park in Beaver Creek Resort, we wanted the consummate real estate professional that understood the complexities of listing high end real estate. We actively interviewed a number of agents in the Vail Valley and chose Cathy. She lived up to our expectations and we were happy that we made the right decision to use Cathy as our listing agent.

" The comprehensive and continuous experience was amazing. I have worked with other real estate companies on the other ends of my most recent moves and my broker, Stephanie, sets a high bar that no one has been able to meet.

I will share her contact with anyone I can and expect that kind of service whereve and whenver I need this service. "

She was always available to answer questions and make sure we knew exactly what was going on every step of the way.

We would recommend Julie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home and cannot thank her enough for her help!! "

- Eric S.

" Heather went above and beyond in handling two residential purchases for me. She had a good grasp of the market which helped in determining a reasonable price. and which units to tour. We didn't waste time in seeing every single unit for sale but honed in on the choices that met my needs. Heather was always cheerful and happy which made the experience much more fun. She didn't exaggerate or attempt to cut corners as some Realtors tend to do. Very diligent in watching for deadlines. She expended a great deal of effort in helping resolve some post Closing Seller issues. I recommend Heather without reservation and would work with her again. "

" I have known Cathy Jones for the past six years and have worked with her on five separate transactions. My involvement in real estate dates back 20 years and I have found Cathy to be extremely knowledgeable about the Vail Valley real estate market, and has very capably handled my transactions from beginning to end, making the client experience a very positive one. Her team managed the showings, valuations, provided guidance and market insights, and shepherded each purchase or sale to a thorough and very satisfactory conclusion. Cathy and her assistant have demonstrated the highest level of professionalism that I have experienced in my real estate career. Working with Cathy Jones made the experience of buying and selling real estate a true pleasure, and I am happy to say that Cathy is not only my real estate eyes and ears in Colorado, but also my good and dear friend.

" Mitch is a great resource for anyone looking for a home in the Valley. He is extremely knowledgeable about the Vail Valley real estate market and was able to quickly hone in on properties that matched what we wanted. Mitch was very attentive to our schedule as we looked for houses while on vacation and was always available for us throughout the process. Mitch was especially helpful through the process of dealing with a difficult seller once we were under contract, and was an invaluable sounding board through closing. I would highly recommend Mitch to anyone looking for a strong advocate in the home search and buying process. Not only is Mitch someone we will use again in the buying/selling process if the need arises, we now consider him a good friend. "

- Roger Mendel

" Led Gardner quarterbacked the marketing and recent sale of our home. From our first interaction, he was very professional and knowledgeable. He welcomed our input and respected our needs, thoughts and opinions. The listing was very well done. He and his team incorporated compelling descriptions, professional photography and impressive aerial imagery, all of which worked in concert to show off our home beautifully. Led's brochures, postcards and print advertising were also first class. We especially appreciated the widespread exposure including local newspapers and the Internet, including exposure on the Slifer company website, LuxuryPortfolio.com, and Zillow. The fact that Led personally attended almost all showings and open houses meant a lot to us. Once under contract, Led and Chelsea attended to the many details necessary to ensure a smooth and successful closing. His extensive network of local professionals was very helpful when we needed assistance with our home inspection and remediation process. Bottom line, Led's professional skills, marketing resources, in-depth knowledge of the local market, and financial commitment all came together to generate the very successful sale of our home. "

- Singletree

" Heather Becket is an outstanding Realtor. She goes above and beyond in all aspects of buying or selling a home. Heather has represented me in the purchase of two homes and then sale of one. She is creative, intelligent and very diligent. Heather stays on top of deadlines. She seems to be extremely well networked in the Real Estate community which helped in negotiations, inspections and closing. Most of all, Heather clearly cared about me and worked extremely hard to insure that we had a good result. Heather did much more than a traditional broker would have done and more than she would be expected to do to make my transactions go smoothly. As a real estate investor, I have participated in many, many deals and I have never worked with a broker where I have enjoyed the relationship more than the relationship that was developed with Heather. "

- Ronald Jones

" Didi is the best. Always there to answer questions or show us a property at the last minute. Didi has us as a life long customer. "

- Jack Gayer

" There's above and beyond, and then there's take on a barbed wire fence, post-hole through feet of snow, proactively find buyers, work through tricky issues and sell the experience rather than the property. I knew of Jack and his reputation, but this interaction exceeded my expectations. From the level of effort that Jack put into this engagement, to the consistent communication to keep me up to speed (even when things were quiet), to the trust that he inspired, to the confident yet humble professionalism that Jack brought to every aspect of the process, no one could have done it better. Jack delivered on all fronts, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for your real estate needs, large or small. "

" We bought at the Westin in 2010 when we moved to Boulder after having lived in Eagle County for over 25 years. Mitch was an active member of the Westin residential homeowner Board of Directors for 6 1/2 years.We enjoyed the Westin tremendously for over 10 years, staying there 80-90 nights per year while keeping our condo on the rental program.When we decided it was time to sell, we had to decide which of the many fine real real estate agents that we knew well in the valley to list our condo with. We knew Lissa was very active in selling Riverfront Village properties. As a matter of fact she had recently listed and quickly sold a similar condo owned by good friends we met through our ownership at the Westin at what we thought was a very good price. Lissa got our condo under contract within about 30 days and facilitated a quick and smooth closing..We highly recommend Lissa if you are interested in buying or selling a Riverfront Village property. "

- Mitch and Jane Imber

" When we decided to sell our condominium my wife immediately said: let' s call Ric Souto to list the property with him. He was the broker when we bought the property 33 years ago. "

" If you are looking for a truly professional realtor, who really enjoys his work, in Beaver Creek I would highly recommend Steve Cardinale. From our first contact via email, to our local tours of properties, to finally working on through our closing, Steve was utterly fantastic to work with. He never tired of our constant questions and needs. He was always very prompt with his responses and anticipated possible issues and questions. Our entire process could not have been more professional, more engaging, and more pleasant of an experience. I would highly recommend Steve and his assistant Lea as your buying or selling realty professional. "

In these crazy uncertain times it is comforting to know that someone like Diana is there to guide and help with any Realestate needs that I may have. "

We will definitely work with Jay and SSF on any future transactions we have in the area. "

" I have used Tina a number of times for listing properties I owned in both Vail and Singletree. On all occasions, she was professional and very detail-oriented, which was instrumental to the success of getting transactions closed. As an out-of-town seller, I appreciated how Tina made it so easy by personally managing punch lists and other details that would have otherwise been very difficult for me to do from afar. In listing a home recently, she saw to it that the property was presented in its very best light in regards to photography, website placement, and promotional materials. She took the time to help me under-stand the changing nature of our local market through her firsthand knowledge of relevant properties either for sale and/or recently sold in my neighborhood, and presented clear and comprehensive market data for my benefit. Tina met the challenges inherent in a competitive environment head-on, and got my property sold when very few others were selling. "

- Elizabeth Cole, Vail and Singletree

" Andrew did a great job managing the full scope of our listing, with terrific suggestions in prepping the property for marketing and showing, to holding frequent open houses and, eventually, providing sound advice throughout the transaction negotiation. He brought a helpful balanced and objective approach but never lost sight of who his client was. Don't let the youthful appearance fool you, he's got what it takes to do a great job. "

- Bill - East Vail Seller

" When I started working in Eagle county I began searching for a home for my family and found a development in Gypsum. On the recommendation of a friend I contacted Brooke Horan-Kates to represent us in this transaction. Unfortunately the developer made mistakes on our home as it was being built and I asked Brooke to show us what else we might be able to afford. Once I shared what we wanted, our budget, and our interest in having a lock-off, Brooke immediately knew the property she wanted to show us along with several others, and was available immediately to show them all to us. Brooke advised us on how we were legally allowed to get out of our contract at the development and she recommended a local lawyer who was equally helpful and capable. After a stressful week we were under contract on our new home, out of contract on a home that we no longer wanted, and had our earnest money returned to us. This was a very stressful time but we are so happy to now be in a house we never could have dreamed of living in. It is large with great mountain views and with more than enough room for our family and our hobbies both outside and inside. Cannot say enough good things about Brooke Horan-Kates and all her hard work for us. I only wished I had come to her to find our property instead of bringing her a property I wanted to buy. You won't regret having her work for you! "

" Julie is absolutely amazing. She is an incredible professional who went well beyond the call of duty to help us find our dream place in Vail. Julie did everything !!! We literally could not have purchased our place without Julie. She found it, negotiated the deal, stuck with it through closing procedures and then ensured that the property was empty and properly vacated as expected. We loved working with Julie and would happily recommend her to anyone.... She didn't even ask me to write this review. She is that good !! Thank you Julie for everything! "

" We bought our unit at St. James Place from Steve in 1996 and were delighted to see he was still at Slifer Smith. We called him when we decided it was time to sell our unit. He said our week 27 over July 4th was a prime week and our best bet was to sell it to someone who already had a week adjacent to ours. That’s just what happened. It took 15 days for Steve to sell our unit. Who ever thought a timeshare would sell so quickly? What a go-getter! "

- Glen Payne

" Steve and his assistant, Lea, were wonderful to work with. The entire process of selling our Beaver Creek unit was quick and seamless.

" With my over 28 years of hands on real estate ownership in Beaver Creek and as an architect having bought and sold property all over the US, it was an immense pleasure to work with Mike this year in searching the entire Vail Valley for our next personal unit. Mike's ability to really listen to us as we described every aspect of our desired unit exceeds my entire experience with every other broker I've ever met in the Vail Valley over the last three decades. Without Mike, we would have never found our ideal unit. Mike invested unselfishely so much of his time with us searching Beaver Creek that we actually began to count him as a member of our family...

- Leslie Dinauer

" Didi is awesome! She is the listing agent on a development my wife and I were very interested in. After viewing the homes and speaking with her at length, we decided to go for it. Our financing was problematic and ended up taking a couple extra months to sort out. Didi stayed with us through it all and even showed us other homes that would have worked better with the problems we were having with our financing. We never gave up hope and neither did she; going to bat for us with the developer and waiting patiently for our financing to come through, she helped us hold on to our dream and closed the deal. We've been in our new home for a little over a month now and couldn't be happier! Thanks so much! "

- Jeff & Bethany Roberts, Buyers

" Working with Steve was a fantastic experience. We were referred to him by a friend of ours and we couldn't be happier. Steve showed us a wide range of properties and helped us figure out what we really wanted in a second home.

We are so excited about our purchase and thanks to Steve and Lea, the process was enjoyable. I would highly recommend working with them if you're looking for a property in Beaver Creek or Avon! "

- Robert Jurkiewicz

" About a year ago, we were faced with selling a beloved family home. Multiple family members were involved, each with different needs and desires, and opinions about the fate of this property. The situation became hostile and contentious; lawyers were engaged; the listing realtor threatened to quit. Without the intervention of George Streeter we never would have come to a resolution. George worked tirelessly with each stakeholder, helping us to understand our individual priorities and guiding us towards a consensus agreement. George kept a cool head throughout the negotiations, and thanks to his efforts we were able to sell the property under terms that were acceptable to each of us. "

- Christina, Breckenridge

" Tony was wonderful. It was a very small dollar value purchase, however he treated us as if it was a high value purchase. Took time to answer all our questions and keep us informed of the closing process which ended up having a lot of issues on the seller's side. "

- Mary Emmons

" We had a great experience working with Ann in purchasing our mountain condo. We happened to meet her at an open house in Vail Village, and our buyer/agent relationship developed from there. Through her hard work in scouting properties, we were able to find the ideal place for our family. I most appreciated that she had a gentle touch and never pushed us in any direction. She was upfront and honest about everything along the way. Her work did not stop once we closed on the property, and she continues to help us with the property to date. I strongly recommend Ann without any reservations. "

- Mark P

" Every one of the over 20 transactions we have completed with Slifer over the years has been unique but this particular transaction had a number of complicated twists and turns. Lissa Tyler, our agent, brilliantly pieced together all the moving parts to successfully complete our sale. From arranging showings and open houses during the busy winter rental season, communicating and managing negotiations with owners who spend most of their time abroad (us!) to finding a suitable alternative property to move our pre-committed rental obligation - Lissa was on it. She could not have achieved this without her thorough knowledge of the area, attention to detail, many years of negotiations and extensive contacts in the Valley. We would highly recommend Lissa if you are looking for an agent with strong communication skills willing to aggressively market your property and skillfully bring negotiations to a successful conclusion. "

- Bijou Garden LLC

" We thought about a Vail property for a couple years. Ellyn never gave up on us. She patiently sent listing and valley information.....no pressure, just helpful information. When we finally decided to visit and consider a purchase, she made sure we had the property information we needed, income and expense information we needed, and took exceptional care as we visited the properties she suggested. In the end, she helped us with the purchase of the perfect property for us and helped with closing. We would highly recommend Ellyn to anyone considering investment property in the valley. We have no regrets and look forward to adding a second property to our portfolio. "

He worked through all the changes given pandemic, kept me up to date as I lived out of town, and helped to close the sale within months... couldn't have asked for more. I appreciate his honest, partnering approach to ensure I prioritize the right deal.. and the made it work!

As out of town buyers, we were impressed with Tina's ability to understand what we were looking for. She was able to find several homes that fit our criteria when we were away. In fact, we bought our house sight unseen knowing how much we trusted Tina's opinion. She went above and beyond in every way, sending videos, frequently checking in via email and phone call, and walked us through the negotiation process and eventual transaction seamlessly. We would recommend Tina to anyone with the highest of confidence. "

" We listed our home in the Divide in Cordillera with Pam and Brooke after a recommendation from friends. We were so very happy from day one. They were extremely helpful with suggestions on how to prepare the home for sale and gave great advice on what additions and repairs to make as well as efforts that were a waste of time and money. They were present for EVERY showing and gave us excellent and timely feedback. Their presence in Cordillera was a big plus as they know the market and have a wonderful reputation in the valley with the realty community. We talked to a number of friends and when Pam and Brooke were mentioned we alway got very positive responses. Pam also makes a killer chicken pot pie!! After a buyer was found, we continued to get the best help imaginable, including Brooke selling a number of items online for us! All in all, a great selling experience from two wonderful and talented realtors. "

" As a real estate professional for 35 years I know how important it is to listen to clients and understand their needs, wants and desires. After meeting with Ann Foster for an afternoon to look at several properties my wife and I felt that she was on target. We did not find the perfect home / investment that day , but Ann persisted and forwarded numerous listings in the next few weeks. Constant communication. The perfect property popped up and she forwarded it immediately. She went through the property and took additional photos to give us desired information. Long distance negotiations took place and we were under contract without even seeing the property. She directed us to the proper financial and title professionals. Throughout the process Ann Foster kept us informed and one step ahead of the process for a smooth close and transition into our new escape home.. Thank you Ann and the Slifer, Smith and Frampton firm. "

- Steven Witsil

" We have lived in the Boulder area for some 35 years and have been coming to the Vail Valley for all these years. We took our children to the mountains nearly weekly and skiing became our family mantra--it also kept our teenagers "out of trouble" as they (and the friends they brought with them) spent their weekends on the mountain!! Very positive--very healthy! So fun and although we had to "stretch" to have "a place" in the mountains---it was such a small price to pay to now have two very successful, happy young men and their families in our lives! We moved from "the box" (a small condo) in 1982 to bigger and nicer homes over the years. We were very lucky--but we also had one of the best realtors in the county--Ric Souto!!! Lucky us!! "

" The entire Eagle SSF team was great to work with. I loved the camaraderie of the team, the sharing of ideas in marketing the property. I especially appreciated the dedication and persistence of our designated broker, Aaron Rabins, who stuck with us over almost 3 years, who kept us well informed, and who negotiated very nicely between us as sellers and the buyers broker. He was always easily accessible, but often contacted me before I had a chance to contact him. "

" Led was the consummate professional. He put together a great marketing program for the sale of our home. Led was always quick to respond to questions and to keep us informed throughout the sale process. His cheerful and calming demeanor were two traits we greatly appreciated and frankly needed in our broker given a few challenges we had along the way. We would not hesitate to work with Led again in the future. "

- Thomas Braun

" We had an absolutely seamless and very enjoyable experience working with George Streeter! Our expectations as buyers were exceeded every step of the way throughout the transaction. From initial offer submission through closing, George's clear communication, availability, and willingness to go the extra mile were very impressive and greatly appreciated - they even helped us find & coordinate with a local day care provider for our toddler which helped alleviate so much stress. We were lucky enough to come across our dream home the first weekend we visited Eagle and needed to move quickly - George was all over it & his ability to perform swiftly and efficiently was paramount in our offer being accepted. As a Mortgage Lender who works with numerous Real Estate agents daily, I can say with 100% confidence that George is the best of the best. I very much look forward to working with him again in the future and will highly recommend him any chance I get. "

" I met Scot and Erica through seeing one of their listings, and from that moment they engaged with me in a friendly and service oriented way to get to know me personally, truly understand my needs for a Colorado home and guide me through the home buying process in a very dynamic market. They stayed in touch over the course of a year and dove deep with me when I was ready to start bidding on properties. They made sure I was aware as early as possible about new listings, gave me their candid advice when they thought a property wasn't the right one for me, and ultimately navigated a second bite at my dream home when the first deal fell through. They actually made a stressful process fun! I just closed and am thrilled, and Scot and Erica are two of my new friends in the Valley. Kathryn Carson "

" I would like to take a moment to thank you all for your diligent hard work and efforts over the last many months to ultimately achieve a successful close on my mother's home at 10 Sanctuary Lane. I don't believe we would have achieved our goal without you. Of special note is that I understand the buyer was recently wavering on the purchase due to the damages sustained to another home of theirs from hurricane Matthew. I can only imagine the conversations and efforts you must have put in to keep this closing on track. Not to mention, you did it without involving my mother. I am very thankful that you were able to work behind the scenes without her involvement due to her stress level over this transaction. Thank you! Again, thank you for all your marketing, sales and other efforts to sell my mother's house. She is very relieved to have this behind her. If you should ever need a reference, I would be happy to speak with any potential clients on your behalf. "

" Donna went above and beyond to help us find the perfect Vail home. We looked for several months until we found what addressed our growing family's needs. She was attentive and patient as we worked our way thru the various opportunities. Once we focused in on "the perfect house", she was tenacious in getting the seller's attention and helping us get the property under contract with provisions that protected our interest. Once under Contract, Donna was meticulous in making sure we timely met all deadlines and shepherded us towards a successful closing. Even after closing, Donna attended to our needs as we had various vendor/repair issues. Undoubtedly, we would work with Donna again and recommend her highly. She treated us as if we were her only clients even though we knew she had other listings/prospects to attend to. Thanks Donna for the great job and personal attention. "

" Buying or selling a home in a complex market such as the vail valley is an exciting, even exhilarating undertaking; it can be fraught with myriad pitfalls, however, even for the very experienced. And that is where Donna Caynoski comes in, offering her unique brand: an elegant combination of vision, wisdom, and the deft touch and impeccable sense of timing of a highly seasoned professional who transforms the entire experience into a harmonious strategic exercise that is implemented with precision and grace.

Katherine was quick to provide answers to all our questions. She stopped by after the closing to help us get settled in. We highly recommend Katherine King. "

We settled on a date we could meet in early September and gave them a list of properties we wanted to see. After seeing what we agreed on Billy drove us up to Cordillera and showed us around. The next morning we saw a property and fell in love with it. We made an offer that day and with some negotiating secured a contract within 48 hours, thanks to the Iversons. We are very grateful for their help and suggestions. And we love our new home! "

" Ann Foster has been our realtor for a almost two years. During that time we looked at dozens of homes. It was not an easy process since we live in the east coast. Ann listened very careful to our necessities and was very careful in selecting which homes to show us. Her patience and friendly personality made us create a bond and today we see her not only as our real state broker but also as a dear friend of hers and her family. She never gave up on us and never pushed us to make the wrong decision. This summer she finally found us the perfect home and she managed the closing process flawlessly. I would recommend Ann to anyone who is looking for a home in the Vail área. She is absolutely the best. Thank you Ann!!! "

" We have been here skiing for over 25 years with our children and finally decided. to buy a 2 bedroom property. We knew exactly what we wanted , saw it online and called Andrew Cryer. We flew in that weekend, Andrew picked us up at the airport and after 10 minutes looking at the condo we wrote an offer. Ten months later we needed more space and Andrew found a lovely 3 bedroom townhouse for us. We've been here since January and are building on a Lot that Andrew has found for us. He has gone out of his way to help in more ways than I can begin to tell you . He found garage door openers, a proper fireplace remote, and even set up our ring door bell. He's become a friend more than an agent. Just a wonderful person and family man. We recommend him highly ! "

" To Whom it may concern: My wife and I were looking to purchase a condo in Vail which would be on the Town of Vail Bus Route. I was using the internet to investigate and happened to email Diana. Diana immediately responded with ideas and suggestions. I gave her details of a visit that I planned over a weekend. She quizzed us on what we were looking for. Based on that information she set up visits to a number of varied condos in various locations around Vail that fitted our requirements. We found Diana to be extremely responsive and informative, she never put us under any pressure to purchase and basically chauffeured us around, took us back a number of times to see the properties, and by Sunday we had made an offer that was subsequently accepted. We have purchased homes elsewhere in America and Europe and I have to say that Diana made the whole process extremely simple and stress free, I would recommend her services to anyone. "

" We first began working with Steve and Lea almost five years ago when we purchased a fractional unit at the St. James Place in Beaver Creek Village. Steve and Lea made the process a breeze and we were so impressed by both their patience and their honesty. Everything that they told us prior to the sale turned out to be true – there were no surprises. Over the years, our family has fallen in love with the Beaver Creek area and St. James, specifically. After much consideration, we decided that we wanted a second home in Beaver Creek. We connected with Steve and Lea to discuss our goals and they began working with us. Unfortunately, at the time of our decision, there was nothing available that fit our needs. While disappointed, Steve encouraged us to be patient and laid out a plan to identify and be ready when our ideal property came available. Specifically, they 1) encouraged us to look at other properties in Beaver Creek to make sure St. James was the place for us, 2) they worked very hard during our visits to make sure we saw various floor plans in the St. James, and 3) they did a tremendous amount of networking to give us early warning if a desirable floor plan was coming available. This “pre-work” allowed us to confidently make a very quick “yes” decision when a 3 bedroom unit in St. James came on the market. Because we are out of town and have numerous other commitments, they made our jobs very easy. They facilitated connections with trusted bankers, lawyers, home inspectors, etc. Steve and Lea kept us on schedule for closing, and were very quick to answer any questions we had. Again, everything they told us before the purchase turned out to be true after the purchase (from rental income to market demand). If you are looking for honest and hard-working real estate partners, look no further than Steve and Lea. "

How’s that for efficiency?! Best realtor you’ll ever work with - patient, kind and ready to be your advocate at every turn in the process. Thanks, Brooke! "

" As a broker of almost 20 years in South Florida, our recent purchase in Vail really gave me a new perspective of a buyer acquiring property remotely. We found Lindsey through a recommendation by a friend and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to work with a knowledgeable, patient, thorough professional. She gathered all the information we needed, quickly arranged to do a Facetime showing with us and successfully negotiated a good contract. When we met her in person a few days later, we liked her even more. She has a good support network of contacts, including a talented and easy to work with title agent that smoothly closed our sale in 3 weeks. I know how much work it takes to provide my customers with a high level of service and confidence in their purchase and to find another broker who works at the level I demand out of myself is truly invaluable. A huge Thank You to Lindsey. We will gladly refer her again and look forward to seeing her around town. "

" I was faced with a difficult situation, I needed to sell my house due to an impending divorce, while at the same time needing to find a new home in the Valley at a time with very limited inventory. It was a challenge to say the least, but Team K2 rose as a group to meet the challenge. Kim Fritzler found me a house in Gypsum that I love, when there were very few opportunities to buy. Then, she was able to find a way to negotiate a difficult mortgage scenario created by the impending divorce. While it was a close one, we got it all done by the closing date and I am now writing this from my new home. I honestly believe that without Kim's knowledge, skill and persistence I would not be in this house today. In addition TJ was a great help and Kelly inspired me to consider the neighborhood I bought in by first showing me a house here. Thanks to the entire K2 team for helping through this process. I couldn't have done it without you! "

" "Three months ago from this date, my husband and I closed on our house in Wolcott, Colorado with Jack Affleck (Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate) as our realtor. Jack was our team player yet our leader in the selling of our property. My husband, Tony, and I wanted an agent we could trust and who has the same level of passion for our community as we did. It certainly took no convincing that Jack Affleck was the kind and caring realtor for the job! Jack has been a long term Eagle County Resident (25+years) as Tony and I. He has made a name for himself as an internationally renowned professional photographer from Vail Valley. His creative and inspirational photography has been such an asset to building his career as a realtor. He takes the visual world and his imagination and brings positive attention to one's property. Jack is very good at reading people. He definitely respects one's privacy and that's a challenge when his clients want to be kept up to date on everything. His communication skills are exceptional! In spite of some negative energy he sometimes dealt with from Tony or me, Jack would focus on the positive aspects of a situation and consistently remained calm and collected yet realistic amidst any perils Tony and I might be feeling. We value that positive momentum Jack brought to this relationship! Jack has such a strong work ethic. When "called to action," he was efficient in every aspect and had such a strong marketing plan in selling our house! Those organizational skills don't happen without a lot of time and hard work. He designed a thorough portfolio for Tony and I containing any and every document we needed for reference in the sale of our property. We really appreciated the time and energy Jack put forth in that project! Jack "crushes it" when going above and beyond the call of duty. He even shoveled our deck with its 27 snow packed stairs when Tony and I were out of town. One thing's for sure, an expert realtor does so much more than putting a FOR SALE sign on your property. JACK AFFLECK is on a QUEST to be the BEST and he NAILED IT with us! We are eternally grateful to Jack for taking on the challenge to be our marketing agent!" "

" My husband I were first-time home buyers and worked with Jay to purchase our condo in Avon. Not only did he make it easy for us, he's also super fun to work with.

" Good morning Amy, I feel so proud when I look at the photo of our "mountain home" and I can't wait to get up there! Thank you for taking so much time to help us find the perfect home. Your insight and thoughts on finding the right location first and then the right home were so valuable. I never thought I would feel 100 % that we found the right location with all the choices and considerations of lifestyle, it seemed more difficult than locating our home in Denver! Gary and I are completely happy and feel fortunate that we walked into your office on that random day and you were there to help us, without question you are one of the best, if not THE BEST realtor in Beaver Creek. We were the lucky recipients of all your knowledge and expertise, exactly the kind of realtor we would hope to find, and now we have the home of our dreams in the mountains. THANK YOU! "

" We would like to recommend Diana Mathias as a very smart and efficient realtor. This, however, does not adequately describe her talents. She has just sold our Townhouse in Vail in around two weeks during the Covid-19 pandemic for a good price. We live in the Bahamas and she has handled all the problems of having absent client owners. We cannot over emphasize how this has helped us at a difficult time for us all. We know that whoever uses Diana will not be disappointed. "

" I have become well acquainted with Led over the last seven years as a real estate broker and now dear friend. We have consummated seven successful real estate transactions together, including Beaver Creek, Bachelor Gulch, Vail and Red Sky Ranch, and I anticipate there will be more in the future. His communication and interpersonal relationships are unmatched, and his representation on behalf of his clients is exceptional. Led has tremendous drive and maturity. He has a strong commitment and sincere interest in positively helping people, and wins the confidence and trust of others in a quiet and unassuming manner. Led has been involved in a number of diverse, quality Vail Valley organizations that have resulted in the development of a high level of community participation and commitment that is seldom found in a broker. He sets high standards of excellence for himself, and can always be counted upon to fulfill outside obligations with this same high degree of excellence. Led is admired by others in the community, and is frequently sought out to assume leadership positions in various organizations. In summary, Led is an outstanding example of an ethical, conscientious businessman. I recommend him without reservation. Vail, Bachelor Gulch and Red Sky Ranch (Seven transactions) "

" Billy, congratulations on the new assignment of Arrowhead’s Branch Broker. I agree wholeheartedly with the article when it says you have a “skill set, demeanor, and style” to coach not only other brokers, but also wimpy buyers through the process of acquiring luxury properties. Your diligence, patience and attention to all matters with regards to my purchase has been nothing but impressive. Slifer, Smith & Frampton is fortunate to have you. "

" Thanks to Katherine, we were able to purchase the perfect property for our family in Vail. She is an absolute pro - smart, efficient, well-connected, great at building relationships and always available to answer questions. We can be demanding clients and ours was a complicated transaction. Our family of five had a long list of needs, our purchase was part of a 1031 exchange (so it needed to be closed on a tight and precise timeline), and we had to stay within a budget - all in the midst of record-low inventory leading up to the holiday season. We would've been lucky to find something that was just 'acceptable' - but instead Katherine found something great. She navigated the process from start to finish, anticipated and got ahead of issues, accommodated our busy work and travel schedules and got us into our new vacation home as seamlessly as possible. I'm still amazed that she was able to pull it all together. She is a pleasure to work with and delivers results - I would absolutely recommend her to my friends and family. "

- TIm Messner

" Julie's great - trustworthy & professional. "

" I am delighted to provide this testimonial on behalf of Donna Caynoski. She is smart, understands the market well and as such was realistic in the pricing recommendations for my home. She guided me through the pricing strategy, location benefits and weaknesses and positioned the house for a successful transaction. Donna is a lovely woman who always made herself available which was key to me as an out of state seller. I would strongly recommend Donna as she really understands her business, the local real estate market and successfully balances her knowledge while reflecting her clients interests. "

He is very patient and understanding as to what we were looking for and helped us to narrow down and look at some excellent options. He was very accommodating with our schedule and any last minute adjustments we needed to make, as well as giving us guidance with all the steps we needed to take once we found our home. He truly helped to point us in all the right directions! We love our new home and highly recommend Jay for your real estate needs! "

" Eric did a great job representing us in our home search late last year. He fully understood our desires for property type, location, amenities, etc. He was also able to refer excellent home inspectors for us, who ended up saving us from potentially big issues on a property we were very interested in. Once we had an offer on our home, Eric was excellent at regularly following up with us, as we were out of state and thus were totally reliant on emails and calls to get through the closing. Eric's got a great personality, is very thorough and found us a great house in a great location--we highly recommend him! "

Thank you Kelly and team K2! You are the BEST. "

" We could not have been happier with the service we received from Lissa Tyler and SSF in the marketing and sale of our townhouse in Avon. Lissa was professional, attentive and often went above and beyond the call of duty in representing us and our property. We had weekly updates, suggestions on marketing and solid guidance on the current real estate climate in the Valley. Lissa often went to our townhouse prior to a showing to make sure everything was in tip top shape and I am sure that is what help in the sale of our property. Once we had a contract, Lissa kept us very informed of the progress of the closing. I would not hesitate to recommend Lissa Tyler and SSF or use her services again in the future. "

" Dear Led, Having worked with several brokers over the years, we were extremely surprised and pleased with the entire experience with you. This was before you managed to sell the property! Here's how you were different. (1) We had other initial presentations. You had spent way more time, thought and effort. (2) Your attitude was always positive. (3) We felt you were trying to get a deal closed, but were always on our side as well. (4) You took care of the details promptly and were easy to contact. (5) You went over and beyond what your role really called for when it was needed. (6) You never seemed exasperated! (7) You told us what you thought (pluses and minuses) when we were house hunting (after the sale). We would be glad to be a referral for you, but please don't publish our names because we're pretty private! Warm regards, $6,450,000 sale in Lake Creek "

- Lake Creek

" I highly recommend Carling Bennett for any real estate needs. Her high level of professionalism and eye to detail were made obvious from the very beginning. She is very knowledgeable about the home buying process and this was very comforting. Also, her response time was extremely fast, whether that be email, text, or cell phone seven days a week. We had a couple instances where we were out of the country with no internet or cell phone access, but Carling made sure that this was not an issue, which pleasantly surprised me that this did not negatively affect us. I would not hesitate to use Carling for future real estate needs and would recommend her over any other real estate agent with whom I've dealt. "

" We had a wonderful and seamless experience with Tina Vardaman and her team. This was the first time we sold a home and they walked us through the entire process and educating us on what to expect. Our expectations were exceeded (which were already high based on what we know about the team and SS&F and previous relations.) Thanks to the professional photography, 360 tour of the home and targeted marketing, we sold our home for more than we would have ever imagined and were under contract (with a backup offer) in a few days. We would highly recommend Tina, Patrice and Will for anyone selling their home. "

- John E. Pinkham

" I have worked with Robert for 5+ years now and he is my go-to realtor and should be yours as well. From helping me find a rental, to buying, then selling, I would not have had it any other way. He got my place listed, and closed within 30 days, and all of the bells and whistles in between such as professional photos, on call maintenance, cleaning crew, etc. Only Robert will make this happen! Whether it was working remote, or taking me to go visit places, he made time for me and made me feel like I was always a priority, it would be a mistake not to call him! "

We would highly recommend using Jack Affleck for selling or purchasing a home or homesite. Thank you Jack! "

" We can't thank Steve Cardinale enough for helping us purchase our dream property at St James Place in Beaver Creek. We met Steve over 28 years ago when he sold us a 2-bedroom unit with an amazing village view and we have remained in contact ever since. When the 3-bedroom unit directly above recently came on the market, Steve helped us make the purchase. He is a consummate professional who is deeply committed to his clients and makes the process easy. I give Steve my highest recommendation and look forward to many more years of friendship! "

She and her firm represent and assist you in every detail from beginning to end… would not do another Colorado transaction without her or SSF! "

On our most recent transactions, Ed and his partner, Brent Rimel, were great! They were so thorough and communicated with us to insure the the process was seamless. They were honest and straightforward with all our concerns, including the inspection, repairs, and closing processes. Ed's knowledge of the real estate market in the Vail Valley as well as the rest of Colorado is impressive and he is so connected. I can highly recommend Ed Swinford whether you're buying or selling! "

- Ellie Landon

" Ann was so great! We reached out to Ann randomly on our drive up into Vail on a Saturday to see if we could visit some properties that fit our criteria. We had never worked with Ann and did not know much about Vail. Ann was patient while we worked through our spotty service from driving through the mountains and even provided some awesome lunch and dinner recommendations for Saturday. On Sunday, she met us on time and even more prepared than we imagined (with such short notice). She provided so much valuable information about Vail and answered each question we had. She had an array of properties for us to see and she really tried to align with our criteria requirements. She listened to what we needed, adjusted based on our instant feedback and was extremely cautious following the Covid-19 guidelines. It was a pleasure to work with Ann and we cannot thank her enough for finding us our perfect winter property! "

- Antoine + Kelley Khoury

" Diana has worked with us on two purchases in the Vail Valley. From the time we first met her when we walked into the Slifer office on Bridge Street through each of our purchases she was friendly, professional, knowledgeable - just what we wanted in a real estate agent. Diana has a great sense of what her customers are really looking for and the knowledge of the Valley and what is available to match. We have also asked Diana's advice on architects, builders, designers - and always found her to be honest, fair and most helpful. Now that we are living here full time, we are happy to count her as a friend as well! "

" We had an exceptional home buying experience with Heather McInerny and SSF. I can’t say enough positive things about Heather! She is so professional and knows the Vail Valley like the back of her hand. She took time to understand what was important to us and showed us properties accordingly. We are out of state buyers so Heather scheduled home viewings around our schedule of when we’d be in town and able to see as many homes as possible in a short period of time. There were 3 homes that made our list and Heather followed up with each of the other brokers with specific questions we had about each house. When we narrowed it down to one home and were ready to put in an offer, Heather went back to the house and FaceTimed with us back in CA and gave us another thorough look/tour of the home. This was so important and helpful as we had only seen the house once. She also stepped us through the websites virtual tour and how to use the matterport for seeing room dimensions, etc. Once our offer was in and other offers started to float in, she provided the best advice on closing the deal with the buyer. We followed her advice and are now happy home owners in a house and neighborhood we love. Heather McInerny went above and beyond throughout our escrow and we applaud all of her efforts from start to finish! Thank you Heather! "

From developing marketing materials to showing property to timely open houses, Led is on the front end of the selling process.

We have worked with Led on both the buy and sell side and his expertise, knowledge, guidance and advice is best-in-class.

" My wife, Jan and I have been fortunate enough to have had Diana Mathias for three completed real estate transactions in Vail, two purchases and one sale.Initially Diana guided us through the the discovery of a Vail Village condominium which, after strenuous negotiations, did not close . A year or so later she found us an ever better condominium and, with her significant help, we were able to negotiate and close. That purchase left us with the unenviable dilemma of having a large home in West Vail and a Vail Village condominium. Within six weeks she identified a buyer who could close within a month. Diana also found a West Vail townhome for us to buy as a future home for our disabled adult son.Diana is smart. Diana knows the Vail Valley. Diana is the consummate professional. Her track record speaks for itself. "

" Led Gardner acted as our Realtor for the purchase of a house in Vail in February 2010. Led was recommended to us because of his experience with the Vail property market. We were purchasing the house partially as an investment, so getting a good deal was very important. Led really understood our personal wants and investment needs, and showed us a number of houses that fitted all of our requirements. He quickly got to know what both me and my wife liked and disliked, and was very good at finding appropriate properties. Once we found the right house, Led negotiated a very good discount with the seller, without which the property would have fallen outside of our price range. He then worked with a number of inspectors who found some minor issues, and thereafter negotiated an escrow fund to pay for repairs post-close. Even well after the sale had closed, Led continued to assist us with organizing the repair work. He also recommended builders for some remodeling work that we will be undertaking soon. Led has helped us make Vail a home, even taking the time to ski with me on several occasions last season. His insight into the Vail market was, and continues to be, invaluable and I have no hesitation in recommending him. $900,000 purchase and $2,425,000 sale following renovation "

Not only did Led capably fulfill the obligations of broker, he went the extra mile in representing our property to its fullest potential.

" My wife and I highly recommend Broby Leed to anyone looking for a home in Vail and the surrounding area. He is a hard worker and a great guy. We first met Broby Leeds about 3 years ago. We really liked his personality and positive nature. We were unsure about our plans to purchase at the time, but loved the Vail Area. Then came Covid-19. Regardless, Broby stayed in touch. He continued to send listings from time to time, and when we decided to move forward with our home search in Vail, he stepped up his efforts to regular emails and frequent calls. The market here in Vail has gone through a huge transition in the last 2 years, including price increases, and low inventory. That did not dissuade Broby. He made sure we were aware of every home that came to the market within hours and even produced some leads on homes not yet listed. He answered all of our questions, worked hard to get our offers in first position even when there were multiple offers. Once we contracted a home, he was instrumental in finding inspectors, contractors for estimates and repairs, and worked hard at every aspect of our transaction.........right through to the closing arrangements. Broby was raised in the area, and is from a Real Estate family. His connections and familiarity with the area have been invaluable. We expect to have a continued relationship Broby. We appreciate his support and the continued introductions to local business as we learn about the area, and Broby proves to just a phone call away. Happy to be part of the Team. Jonathan and Debbie Miller "

" Many years ago, we decided to take our first family skiing vacation. Having three young children at the time, I asked an ex-colleague, who had moved to Colorado, for a suggestion as to where we might visit. Without hesitation he recommended Beaver Creek as being the most family-friendly ski resort in the country. Soon thereafter, we found ourselves as never-ever skiers enrolled in ski school. It took only two short days to realize that Beaver Creek was the place where we wanted to have a winter home. After ice-skating one evening in the village, we walked into the local Slifer office to investigate real estate possibilities. You happened to be on floor duty that night. Admittedly, we were completely in the dark as to how much money we wanted to spend, whether we wanted a home or a condo, or what particular location would best suit us. Both Vickie and I immediately felt comfortable with the patience you displayed and the friendly and welcoming manner with which you greeted us. As you might remember, you spent a generous amount of time introducing us to the community and showing us a diverse menu of potential properties. Our own decision resulted in quite a delay in our ultimate choice. After numerous plane trips and the passing of a number of years, your patience and attention to our quest never abated. With your assistance, we finally chose a property that was perfect for our needs. Upon reflection, your efforts on our behalf went well beyond the boundaries of a traditional real estate brokerage. Your advise during the bidding process, your suggestions with regard to financing options, and ultimately your recommendation of a wonderful interior designer all proved to be invaluable contributions to a project which has given our family much joy. As a final note, your confidence in the soundness of our investment (the largest we have ever made) provided the inspiration necessary for us to pursue this transaction. It has been nothing short of a privilege to work with a man of your expertise and integrity. Both Vickie and I look forward to a life-long friendship with you and your family. Sincerely, Todd and Vickie Green "

" This is my third transaction with Steve Cardinale, and he was outstanding regardless of whether the price was $230K or $1mm plus. Just a good guy who knows the valley very well, and is always available. He never tried to talk us into a property, is never pushy, and offers excellent perspective on the various developments, because he was around when many were built. "

" This was our third purchase with Andrew and he has been an invaluable resource for us on all these occasions. His knowledge, professionalism, willingness to accommodate our complicated schedule, follow up and overall communication have always been outstanding. Another thing that stood out for us was his willingness and commitment to help with various issues prior and after the close, which was very helpful because of our remoteness. We strongly recommend Andrew! "

- Laurentui Vlad

" Debbie Gibson is an outstanding broker. I have worked with a lot of brokers in the past and she ranks top in my book. She is a hard worker and on top of it at any time of the transaction- from looking at homes to closing every step of the way. We started with her about 3-4 years ago looking at properties in vail . We looked then we were not too convinced and we stopped looking. Debbie was ok with that and did not push. She kept in touch indirectly sending her periodic mass email communications about vail . This year we decided to look again in vail and we reached out to Debbie. Debbie was ready and happy to help again. We found a property that we ended up backing out of and Debbie was supportive and never asking us why or we should do something different. She is all about her clients and finding the property that makes happy happy. She works very hard and gets the job done without any flaw . I am very picky and not easy going and she exceeded my expectations . We found the place we love and we closed on it on January 18 2022. Debbie still helps after closing on anything as needed. She is amazing. Don’t usually write reviews but she deserves it. "

Luckily, a friend had given my information to my broker and he contacted me to ask if he could help with my search.

" My wife and I have lived on Avon since 1990. We built a duplex home in Wildridge and moved in 9.13.2002. After almost 17 years in this wonderful community, we decided a move was in order. On 2.18.2019 we purchased a new home in Castle Rock, CO and put our Wildridge home on the market on 3.4.2019 with a broker friend who has been in a broker in the Vail Valley for 30+ years and was also the manager of the LLC that built our home. There were not many showings or any offers for 4 ½ months. So in mid-July 2019 we severed the first relationship and requested Heather Lemon's assistance. She accepted. Interestingly, she had sold the other side of our duplex in 2.2019. Heather and her partner Jack Affleck started an email campaign to alert the local brokers. Still not a lot of showings, but considerably more than the first broker. Finally her fastidiousness paid off and we reviewed an offer in mid-September which we accepted and recently closed on 10.18.2019. Heather knew we we wanted to sell this home and not get into the rental business during the 2019-2020 Winter season to get some cash flow. Bottom line was she got it done! I am sure there were some behind the scenes maneuvering that I was not aware of. Honestly I don't care. Heather, and Jack scored for us. That is all that matters. And they will for you also. "

" Crissy is the best broker I have ever dealt with. She was very helpful through out the process. She did things for us that are beyond the realm of a broker-client relationship up until the closing and beyond. We were doing this entire thing from out of town and it is amazing how smooth it all progressed. She did not only help us with the issues related to the purchase. There w ere a lot of other things she helped us with, i.e., contracting a management company, transfer of the electricity, etc. "

" Janice was a true gem during the purchase of our first home. My wife and I were living in Australia and wanted to buy back home in the Vail Valley. Janice fully understood what we were looking for and set up a daily email with a shortlist of potential properties and would respond promptly with any further information we required even though she had never met us before. Our perfect home popped up one day and Janice immediately jumped on it and had a personal 'video tour' organized the very next day. My wife and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase in and around the Vail Valley as she is very responsive and gets the job done! "

" We found the experience to be above our expectations. We purchased our new property for a very good price and sold our existing property for full asking price. Michael and Susan both were very professional and went beyond the call of duty at times to accommodate us. They really marketed our existing home with wonderful photographs and open houses.They both pay attention to details as we witnessed with the purchase of our new home, which was complicated by a survey error on the part of the seller. They did everything they could to make sure the deal went through. We are closed on both properties and are very happy with the outcoome. They also have many recommendations and contacts of people to do work in our new home, which has helped us immensely.Michael sold our first home in Arrowhead and sold us our existing home in Arrowhead, and now our new home in Arrowhead. Obviously, we love Arrowhead! "

" Diana is very skilled at ascertaining what a client is really looking for in a home. Rather than simply showing us what was available in our price range, Diana took in our responses to a few homes, skipped those she knew wouldn't fit aesthetically or practically, and honed in on those which would. Also, she helped us sell our last place with an ease and diplomacy and fairness which exceeded our expectations. You are lucky if you have Diana working with you! "

No matter what we asked, they investigated and got answers. Plus, they were lots of fun to work with and made our purchase easy. We will certainly work with them again and highly recommend them to other buyers and sellers. "

" Our experience with George Lamb was beyond excellent! George is a seasoned professional and excellent communicator who made certain that all of our transactions were efficient, smooth, and respectful. He promptly answered all of our questions, some of which probably seemed quite ridiculous! (We hadn't purchased property for 20+ years.) We have nothing but high praise for George and his expertise. Thank you, George! "

I have been extensively involved with real estate in Florida/Minnesota and have yet to work with a real estate professional who has Cathy Jones Coburn's market knowledge and attention to detail. Also, my wife, who is a realtor, was extremely impressed with Cathy's overall knowledge of the Vail Valley real estate market, follow through, integrity and honesty. We would not hesitate to recommend Cathy to anyone who is in the market to buy or sell property in the Vail Valley area. "

" We interviewed a number of highly regarded brokers before engaging Scot & Erica Webster to handle our Singletree sale, believing their realistic goals and pricing to be perfectly in sync with our desire to sell our property quickly. They worked their network effectively and we had a commitment on our home within 4 days, at full asking price. Their pleasant manner, forthright approach, and obvious experience made the process effortless and enjoyable, so we immediately engaged them to help us find a new local property. Scot & Erica quickly learned our likes and dislikes—they “got us”—and made the process efficient and enjoyable, being highly responsive and attentive to our goals and budget. No wasted time, no wheel-spinning, thoughtful in their choices, very helpful in negotiations, well connected…and both super nice folks! Their knowledge of the market is exceptional and they are unusually honest about expectations and buying & selling strategies. On top of it all, we look forward to getting to know them better as friends. No hesitation in recommending them, and they’d be our first choice, our only choice, for future transactions in this area.

" PAUL GOTTHELF WAS OUR CONTACT AS A JEWELER AS OPPOSED TO A REALTOR. HIS PASSION FOR THE INDUSTRY AND THE ETHICAL STANDARDS WHICH ARE INTEGRAL TO PAUL'S WAY OF DOING BUSINESS, IS ABOVE REPROACH. LEA LUNDBERG KNEW PAUL IN 1980, AND SUBSEQUENT OPPORTUNITIES GAVE HER A GREAT DEAL OF INSIGHT INTO THE TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE MAINTAINED BY PAUL. SSF AND HIS ASSOCIATION WERE JUST THE "ICING ON THE CAKE"! AT THIS TIME, ETHICS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND PAUL'S WORD IS - AS LEA'S FATHER, DEL MAYNE USED TO SAY - GOOD AS GOLD AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!! LEA WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE EAGLE/VAIL VALLEY, AND HER PARENTS HAD A BUSINESS IN AVON FOR OVER 37 YEARS PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING OF VAIL. SHE WAS RAISED IN BUSINESS ALL OF HER LIFE, AND PROFESSIONALS SUCH AS PAUL GOTTHELF, WERE THE "NORM" AND EXPECTED MANNER IN DOING BUSINESS! "

Then once he found a buying, he was most helpful in guiding me to a reasonable price for the transaction. Followed up on all paperwork with the contract and the title company. I always felt he had my best interest at heart, and could not have been more impressed with how easy the entire transaction was. Would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to buy or sell real estate in Beaver Creek! "

- M. Scott McFadden, Jr.

" As a buyer, I want three things from my agent: 1. Show me properties in which I will have a real interest---don't waste my time with others 2. Help me evaluate the property and determine a fair and reasonable price 3. Then, just make life easy---help me take care of things like inspections, utilities, closing. Nobody is better than Cathy with this list! We bought our first house in Beaver Creek in one day---and only looked at two. When we told Cathy we were thinking of a larger house, she took us to see what she described as the perfect house for you---we bought it the next day. "

He is very friendly and goes out of his way to make the home search process enjoyable for those he works with. He also knows a lot of people in the area and was great for making recommendations when I needed several contractors to help me with repairs.

" I FIRST PURCHASED THIS HOME 24 YEARS AGO THROUGH SSF. SO WHEN IT CAME TIME TO SELL I FIRST THOUGHT OF SSF ALSO MY FRIEND DIANA MATHIAS IS A NEIGHBOR AND CHAIRMAN OF THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, SO IT SEEMED THE LOGICAL THING TO DO. I HAVE NOT BEEN DISAPPOINTED AS THE PROPERTY SOLD IN RECORD TIME. MY WIFE AND I CANNOT OVER EMPHASISE THE HELP THAT WE WERE GIVEN IN GETTING THE HOUSE FIRSTLY IN THE CONDITION TO SHOW, BUT SECONDLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, TO MOVE OUT. IT IS INCREDIBLE HOW MUCH ONE ACCUMULATES OVER 24YEARS. WITHOUT THE MAJOR ASSISTANCE OF DIANA WE WOULD NOT HAVE GOT THROUGH IT. "

Then he found us a better-than-we-could-have-hoped-for-house that we now call our home. Chris is a true professional. He is honest and thorough and very easy to work with. He knows the area and he does his job well. I highly recommend Chris! "

" Working with Brooke was an absolute pleasure, I cannot speak highly enough of her. Buying during Covid was not an easy task, but Brooke made it seamless. We were looking for an investment property for short term rentals, and Brooke did a great job of running the numbers for us, finding out splits on properties, getting past rental figures, and doing virtual facetime tours for us. When our initial mortgage lender dropped the ball, Brooke had a contact that was able to get our loan done quickly and very easily. We are already doing better than expected on this rental property, so Brooke was right on point with her research! We would never use anyone again in the Vail Valley, and hope to be able to purchase more properties with Brooke in the future. "

You answered our questions promptly and gave us all the information we needed to put an offer on a house in Cotton Ranch.

" Eric Burgund certainly deserves a 5 star rating for providing me with service that went far beyond his brokering the Avon Town Home I recently purchased. Not only did he step by step guide me through the online sale which I had purchased sight unseen, I live in FL, but he was there for my children when they were in the area to ski, providing them with helmets and protective gear so they could see the unit while it was under construction. He periodically sent photos of the construction progress and now that I own the home I get a monthly news letter informing me of local happenings. Yesterday Eric called to let me know how much snow the area has received to date. You deserve the 5! "

I would definitely use her services in the future and highly recommend her. "

She made the home buying process seem effortless." "

- T. Elchenko

" Slifer, Smith, and Frampton and especially their broker Aaron Rabins were of immeasurable value to us as we sold two parcels of ranch land in Gypsum, Colorado. Aaron stuck with us through the listing and sale of both properties, was very effective in helping to deal with the various questions and issues raised by potential buyers, gave good counsel on preparing the land for effective showing to clients, and was not visibly fazed by some of the curve-balls thrown by at least two potential buyers (such as a last minute cancellation of contract, or objection to the priority and volume of associated water rights). I very much appreciated how well he interacted with neighboring ranchers to enlist their support, and even ended up selling one of the parcels to one of these neighboring ranchers. He is very well suited for the networking required in a rural community with a wide diversity of home and property owners. "

- Gypsum Prime Properties

" Molly was my savior! I had been stumbling through the home buying process and Molly assisted in a smooth navigation of the entire process. Molly is the consummate professional!

" Since graduating from college, I have bought and sold over 40 pieces of real estate. At no time has any realtor been more professional or helpful than Mike Spear. His main talent is to first sense and find out the true goal of the client both buying and selling. Mike has brokered more than 11 transactions for me. Each time, he has concentrated on my best interests. He has an uncanny ability to see a strategic move and the right timing. He gets very creative in matching buyer needs with the right property. Most importantly, he does not waste a buyer or seller's time going through property that will never fit. He has both saved and made me a lot of money in transactions by knowing the market on an up to the minute basis. I can recommend Mike to anyone needing a true real estate expert. "

" Cathy did a great job recommending initial sales price, listing the unit, showing the unit, working the the buyer's broker, coordinating the visits to the unit by the buyers and communicating each step of the way. "

" Finding the right agent was a top priority for me as a first time home buyer. Kelly VanHee knocked my expectations out of the park throughout the entire process. She was always available whenever I needed her or had any questions. I think I can speak for many first time home buyers that it may seem like an intimidating process, but never with Kelly. Things could not have gone smoother from the point we first went out to look at properties all the way until close. She was also a phenomenal negotiator, convincing the seller to cover the majority of issues that came up during my home inspection. If you are looking for a professional and painless experience, look no further than Kelly VanHee. "

" My wife and I had a great experience using Kelly as our real estate agent. Kelly listened to our needs and found us the home we were searching for. Kelly made the whole home buying process a painless experience. It is so comforting having Kelly’s knowledge and experience on your side. I have and will continue to recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a real estate agent they can trust. "

- Philip Bennett

" Molly, Andrew and Eric curated an incredibly simple and smooth home buying process. Even though I suspect that my purchase was on the lower end of their typical range, they treated me with respect and always made me feel like a priority. All communications were extremely prompt and professional, and they were great at educating me as a first time home-buyer. At the end of the day I feel like everyone won, and I could not be happier with my new home. "

- Dylan Friday

" Kathleen is an exceptional broker and an amazing friend. I first worked with Kathleen on the purchase and sale of a condo in Eagle Ranch. She made everything easy and seamless so when it came to helping my husband and I find the perfect lot to build
