Franz Klammer Lodge Testimonials

Janice was attentive and prompt in handling all of the details in our sale. She was a great communicator and advocate in working through the myriad steps (and hiccups) in getting our property to close. Friendly, professional, prompt and good humored, we couldn't have found a better, more responsive broker. 

THANKS, Mike & Cindy H.

Jean is bar-none one of my favorite people to work with. She is honest, fun, and incredibly "real." You can trust that she is always working hard for your benefit alone and, let me tell you, she works hard for you. She is the type who you’ll like from the start and stay with forever. She knows Telluride like the back of her hand, is well connected, and always manages to find a way to make a deal work.
 

Jean tops the charts in my books. Knowledgeable, responsive, no pressure, and very transparent.
 

Janice Gerona did an excellent job in selling my Franz Klammer ownership. Having been an owner in the Lodge since pre-construction of Phase 1, I made the difficult decision at the end of the 2024 ski season to sell my ownership, for health and family reasons. I have known Janice for many years, and she worked very hard on my behalf. I think she is the most knowledgable broker in Telluride regarding fractional ownerships, and I recommend her without reservation.

Our recent purchase of a beautiful home in Aldasoro Ranch was our fourth successful transaction with Jean. Starting in 2014, Jean assisted us in finding and purchasing a unit at the Franz Klammer Lodge in Mountain Village, then a home in Telluride in 2015, and in 2020 represented us both selling our first home in Telluride and locating and purchasing our current home. Jean is capable, competent, knowledgeable of the local market, and very professional. She is also well-regarded by her peers in the Telluride real estate community, and lives and works among the properties she sells. We highly recommend Jean and are clients for life.
 

I can not rave about Abby enough! From the initial meeting about my house wants/needs, to the search for the perfect “home”, the intimidating loan process, and even the communication we continue to have a year after my purchase, Abby never ceases to go above and beyond what you would expect out of a Relator. As a first time home buyer, I was incredibly nervous, but with her guidance, Knowledge, and open communication, I left feeling as though no detail or question was left unanswered. While gaining a “home”, Abby taught me infinite knowledge of being a homeowner and the details surrounding how to care and maintain my home. She also comes equipped with numerous people and companies she recommends (I.E: Inspectors, Mortage Broker, etc) that all helped in that learning.
I can happily say that buying my first home in the after math of a pandemic was truly one of the easiest and most exciting experiences of my life, and it’s 100% because of Abby!
 

Jean has been our realtor for the past 3+ years and patiently stuck with us over the years as we looked at places for what must have seemed like forever to her. But Jean took it all in stride and never hesitated showing us homes and condos in the area. And always with a smile and a great, positive attitude. When we finally locked in on a house, Jean did an incredible job coaching us through the process, gave a realistic, honest account of what we should offer, and helped us develop a realistic game plan for negotiations. It worked brilliantly. During the entire buying process, Jean responded to inquiries and questions in real time, and Jean was patient and knowledgeable in explaining the nuances of purchasing a home in Mountain Village to us. Jean also did an incredible job in managing communications with the Seller, sometimes corresponding or talking on the phone with us several times a day. Our overall buying experience was extremely positive, and working with Jean was rewarding. Jean is an energetic, hard-working, smart realtor with a big heart. She was pure joy to be around and I recommend her highly to others.

Jean was great. She was knowledgeable about the real estate in Telluride and listened to our wants and concerns. She was a pleasure to work with and we are very happy with our purchase.
 

Abby Gamache helped me find a 3 bedroom/3bath for a good price during a seller’s market. Abby does her research on properties well. She factors in a lot of long term and short term potential possibilities and concerns with the houses. She is very patient. She looked at over 30 houses with me, and even when I could not be there myself. She was assertive in negotiating the seller’s party with contracts and closings. She was able to refer knowledgeable inspectors and lenders. I am truly grateful for working with Abby. I can tell she has a heart for real estate and a real vision. It was my first purchase on a house, I could not have done it without her.

Jean Vatter is a proactive Realtor who anticipates her client interests and produces results pleasing to everyone. She intuits her clients' interests and comes up with a solution that her client may not have known existed. This happened to me and I could not be happier.
