" Working with Corrie was the best! As an investor, I've worked with many realtors before across many markets and Corrie was hands down the most professional, friendliest, down to earth, transparent and had the upmost integrity. I was doing a 1031 so I was on a time crunch and with Corrie's expertise, I was able to lock down a solid invest property within my deadline. I'll definitely be working with her again for future investments. Thank you! "

I can wholeheartedly recommend Brent whether you are buying or selling. "

Too small, too big, too expensive, needs remodeling, no views - you get the picture.

" This is the 2nd home that I have purchased in the mid-valley area with Mike Eaton as a realtor. He has been excellent on all fronts! He is an excellent communicator, plus excels w giving more in-depth information in regards to the contract, and gives advice on how to strategize to 'get the contract' if there are multiple offers. Mike has also diffused tense situations in the past between myself (the buyer) and the seller. The real estate transactions have transpired smoothly because of Mike Eaton's skills in communication, his knowledge of the contract and it's applications, his agile thinking and his ability to perceive situations and to strategize - with knowledge of the possible outcomes. All are truly valuable for a buyer in a competitive market. I would highly recommend Mike as a realtor!!!! "

" Brent, much like his father Lee, a former agent with SSF, is a true professional. Brent was always one step ahead and extremely well prepared to handle both our purchase and sale of our Eagle Ranch home. Brent, Ed and their team are a joy to work with and go the extra mile. As my wife and I were both required to be out of state during the final closing of our Eagle Ranch home, a few items missed our attention and Brent jumped in and handled each item without hesitation, that is going the extra mile. Brent during the purchase of our home was beyond prepared and worked hard to help us find that perfect home, his honest and open approach saved us time and emotional stress. Thank you Brent! hope you and your family stay involved with Eagle County and SSF for many years to come. best Tom and Lori Cartwright "

" Ross Daniels gave me great information on the opportunity for ownership and that ownership would fit my outdoor lifestyle and get my Land Cruisers into the mountains and ski during the winter and ride the mountain roads on my bike.

As stressful as selling a home can be it’s reassuring knowing you have that level of professionalism in your corner. "
