Nick was so easy to work with and extremely attentive to any of our requests. He always answered our inquiries within minutes. This is the 5th house my wife and I have purchased.

“Shirley just blew my mind with how efficient and competent she was!! She sold my home within one week (literally).... She put the "For Sale" sign up one evening, and the next morning by 8:00am, we had a contract on the house. She is the only Real Estate Agent I've ever worked with (and I have dealt with many) that I did not get completely frustrated with! Talk about a "no hassle, no stress" sell.... If you work with Shirley, you can "kick back" and relax, because she is going to handle everything!!”

“Nick did a fabulous job of helping us to sell our off grid home in a rural area, during a time when the market has slowed down and interest rates are high. He is a natural networker with a great upbeat atitude. He remained positive during the ups and downs of the selling process. We felt that Nick genuinely cared about us. He was both generous with his time and quick to respond to all our questions. We noticed that most of the potential buyers who viewed our property we're brought to us by Nick. He knows his field well and helped us get all our ducks in a row for closing. He brought an ease and lightness to the process and by the time we closed we felt that we had gained a friend. We would recommend Nick to anyone looking to buy or sell. He is both professional and a great guy.”

“Nick is the only realtor I will ever work with in the San Luis Valley. I have known Nick for 2.5 years now and I have closed on two transactions with him; in fact, we are already working on our third transaction. The reason why I enjoy working with Nick is so much is because he is diligent, knowledgeable, and resourceful....he knows how to get a transaction closed. But most important, he can be TRUSTED. I was new to the valley and needed someone I could count on in order to understand what was best for me when buying land. There is a lot of little details when it comes to buying undeveloped land; and Nick gave me all the basics I needed in order to figure it out. He has good intentions for his clients and I cannot thank him enough for this. I am looking to do a lot more business related to real estate in the valley and it goes beyond saying that Nick will always be my realtor of choice. I had to write this to thank him for his outstanding service because he deserves to be recognized for always going above and beyond. And to be fair, I tried working with other realtors in the SLV, they were not bad....but no one compared to the kind of ultra-personal service I got from Nick.”

“I worked with Nick when I bought my house a few years ago, and again when I recently sold it, and both were positive experiences. He is knowledgeable about real estate in general as well the Crestone/Baca community, and I trusted his suggestions. He’s also a good, kind-hearted person, and I had faith that he was doing everything possible to help sell the house in an uncertain market. I recommend him without reservation and would totally work with him again if I ever needed help with real estate in the area.”
