Client Testimonials
?I had the pleasure to work with Michelle in 2012 on the sale of a three bedroom residence in Avon Throughout the entire process - from listing to marketing to negotiating the sales contract and coordinating the closing - Michelle consistently exceeded my expectations (which can sometimes be a bit high)! Michelle is extremely knowledgeable about the Vail Valley real estate market and has an enthusiastic and positive approach to her work. She did an outstanding job for me and I would use her services again without hesitation I highly recommend her for any resort real estate assignment in her area?
?We have dealt with many real estate agents throughout the country Michelle easily was one of the best to work with Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, ?can do?attitude, and willingness to tackle any detail demonstrate why she does such a great job for her clients. We have bought and sold property throughout the country and have significant experience with real estate agents I am not easily impressed by their abilities Michelle is certainly one of the exceptions She works tirelessly for her clients She has a very intuitive understand of the local market and a wealth of contacts. We first came into contact with Michelle a few years ago when she was the seller's agent on a property that we were purchasing We have since retained her on three other transactions (two sales and one purchase) The results in each instance were fantastic.When theneed next arises,she will bemy first and only contact.?
"We wish this letter to serve as a testimonial for Michelle Rampelt 's excellence in every way as a Real estate sales person and more important as a person I have been in the Real estate business for over 37 years, built over 10,000 homes in south Florida and purchased many, many properties Michelle exemplifies everything that is professional, knowledgeable and most importantly honesty in everything she does. When we made a decision to purchase a property in Colorado Michelle showed us 15 properties in just two days and we were lucky enough to purchase a property from her That was only the beginning of what she did for us ,she helped us with attorneys, inspectors, maintenance people and scheduling everything for us though closing We still remain friends and value her friendship and complete knowledge of the Real estate market in the Colorado area It is an honor and pleasure to recommend Michelle and I am sureyou will feel thesame if you arelucky enough to purchaseaproperty from her?
