Franz Klammer Lodge Testimonials

Abby is amazing! A little over a year ago, I needed to find a place ASAP. I was working 12 hours days and the housing market was insane, so you can imagine the pressure I was under. But Abby made the process as smooth as possible and helped me find a place that I am so, so happy with. She was extremely helpful and accommodating. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and super nice. She even went so far as to go to places that I was interested in while I was at work so she could send me pictures and give me the scoop to maximize the amount of places I could check out. By the time I decided on my condo, I felt very confident in my decision because she helped show me so many places. And a little over a year later, I'm still thrilled with my place! Thanks Abby! You're the best!
 

Emma Brown is the MOST responsive, personable and knowledgeable realtor I have worked with in over 4 decades of buying and selling property. Truly the best in the business! Her expertise in the market while taking the time to understand my needs and timing to close on the property was outstanding. From day 1, Emma ensured I understood the process, the requirements to ensure a quick and smooth sale. I would highly recommend Emma to my family and friends and have done so on several occasions. She is the best in the business and went above and beyond even at close when I had to fly in with little notice (I closed faster than expected) and personally helped me move out my belongings. With the enormous amount of paperwork that goes into the selling/buying of a property, I always felt Emma made my sale a priority, explained every clause, answered every question (more than once!) and was personally invested from start to finish. A stellar agent that I would rate 15 out of 10 if that is possible. After one meeting with Emma, you will understand why I say she is absolutely the best in real estate.

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.
 

My husband and his two friends first experienced the Franz Klammer in 1996 and as a result three couples all became owners. Keeping an already formed friendship together and forming too many memories to mention, our friendships expanded among the FKL owners. Although we are fortunate to still be skiing; we found the other seasons to bring wonderful enjoyment from hiking to the Film Festival. All this in one of the most beautiful parts of Colorado - what more could you ask for!!! - Joan Maclachlan

Over 19 years we have gotten to know Jean Vatter. Having Jean at the helm of multiple real estate transactions, we are spoiled. Jean has a very approachable and hospitable personality. It is easy to be loyal to Jean as she has a high ethical standard and is very competent within her field. Further, Jean’s in-depth knowledge of Telluride, Mountain Village and the surrounding area are reasons any buyer or seller in the real estate market would benefit from working with Jean.
 

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.

I have worked with Janice on multiple real estate deals in Mountain Village and it has been a great experience!  Janice is responsive and helped me make the connections I needed to do business from NJ!   Highly recommend Village Real Estate!

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 genuinely cares about each and every one of her clients. She is excited and passionate about real estate and constantly learning more about the market and field. She has provided as much emotional support for me as a first-time home buyer as she has professional insight. She is super responsive and stays on top of paperwork and other details in a timely manner. I have worked with her on three different sales now!

Jean is truly a super professional realtor. With her 20 plus years as a realtor and living in the Telluride area, her expertise was extremely valuable for our decision to utilize her to assist in our home purchase. She has been incredibly responsive throughout the entire transaction and continues to assist us in better understanding the community she calls home. I highly recommend Jean to others and if we consider another purchase in the future we will be working with Jean again. Thank you.
