Thorough, timely, professional and the recommendations from SSF staff on local trades people helped tremendously in addressing the inspection items needing repair. I couldn't be happier and if I again look at real estate, I'll call Lori.
Impressive!
We appreciate their service and suspect that they have even more skills after a survey necessitated a slow communication with CDOT.
When It was time to sell I simply contacted her again, never looked elsewhere. An outstanding realtor, very knowledgeable and thorough. Always in communication, which is important when you don't live near the property listed. I used her recommendations for local trades people when needed during this sale and each experience was perfect. I can't recommend her enough. Were I to again look to purchase, I will start with her.
Having a REALTOR® with the expertise and understanding of the area and people is critical to a successful transaction. Lori Mitchell has the local knowledge and contacts to provide her clients with the best information and advice possible. We couldn't have bought our mountain home in Fairplay without her help, and we would highly recommend Lori to anyone looking to buy in the mountains.
We first met them in July, 2006. We had seen some of her listings on-line and contacted her to help us purchase a vacation condo in Summit County. As most of us do, these days, we first looked on-line to find properties we were interested in and presented Lori with our list a few days prior to the date we were to look at listings. We also provided her with a list of items that were important to us with regard to the property we were hoping to purchase. We met Lori on a Saturday morning to start our search. As the good realtor she is, she took us to see the listings we asked to see. We were not impressed with any of them. Then she took us to a listing she had chosen in the Salt Lick complex. It was love at first sight! We quickly made an offer, it was accepted and we (and our adult children) enjoyed our mountain condo for the past 8 years. A few weeks ago, we decided it was time to list the condo as we wanted to purchase a place in warmer climates. Because Lori had stayed in touch with us since our initial meeting, we had no hesitation in calling her to help us list our property for sale. We felt Lori's experience and knowledge of the Summit County market was reason enough to list with her. But we also got the added benefit of some very smart business decisions she and her husband have made over the years in that they ran such a successful real estate business that larger companies felt it was a good financial risk for them to partner with the Mitchells and grow the business even more. This provided Lori with a larger arsenal of marketing tools and, of course, a larger budget with which to market. As we said, all this was a bonus as we already had full confidence in Lori's ability to market and sell our property. The day she listed our property, we received a good strong offer within six hours of it hitting the market. We accepted that offer and closed a little over three weeks later! It is important to note, even though we had an offer and essentially her job was done, Lori still went above and beyond to insure this deal closed. Once the inspection was done, there were a couple of small items that needed to be repaired. Lori not only found the professionals to do the repairs, she booked the repair times and then she went to our condo and waited while the repairs were done. She didn't have to do this but that is the type of service she likes to offer her clients. She is very hands on and likes to make sure she has done everything she possibly can to help you purchase your property or get it sold. Our only regret, now, is we don't have another property to list. But if we did, we wouldn't hesitate to contact Lori again.
Lori was able to show us a number of properties, but none really fit our needs. Just about one year later (Spring of 2013) Lori contacted us again, and said 3 properties were just listed in a very desirable community in Dillon. Lori kept our file open, knew what we wanted, and made sure, no matter the timeline, she would find us that perfect property. We set up an afternoon of showings, and by dinner we had our offer in and accepted at that perfect property. Two years later, our needs suddenly change - we need to sell ASAP, and coordinate the purchase of a new property one valley to the west. Thanks to the help of Lori and Scott, our Dillon property was listed on a Friday, had two very aggressive offers by the following Sunday night. We were able to close on Dillon 6 days prior to the close of the new property, and the move was seamless. Lori and Scott Mitchell are not only our agents, but they have become our friends. Professional, patient, honest, detailed-oriented - they are what everyone wants in real estate agents.
We have sold two condos and bought two condos through Scott and Lori in Summit County, Colorado. We found them to be very honest, responsive and great communicators. Most importantly, to us, is that they LISTENED to what we said. They showed us what we asked to see, not what they wanted to sell. We believe that property in Summit County will appreciate in value. If you are serious about investing in the Colorado mountains, call Scott and Lori for great service.
They answered every question we had and anticipated any bumps in the road before they happened. Great experience!
Please know this is a huge compliment as I manage a real estate office of over 200 agents - over 1/3 of my agents are Top Producers. Our office is special - so when I say: Lori & Scott impress me - it says a lot. They worked hard to set up the proper properties to visit so our flight in wasn't wasted. We flew in a Friday in Sept. 2016, by that Sunday night when we touched down at home - we were under contract for a home we had only dreamed of in Breckenridge, CO in North Star Village. May 2018 we flew back in for Mother's Day - and let's just say we now are the proud owners of a Lakeshore Condo in Keystone, CO. It still makes me giggle when I think back on our last purchase - when we walked into the condo we ended up purchasing - Scott just went in and sat down. He knew that would be it as he had learned us better than we knew ourselves. We are so thrilled to have had the opportunity to have had Lori & Scott on our side. They went over and beyond at different times to make sure we felt comfortable with the challenging details and kept us on schedule. Their guidance was priceless.
It sold before it even was listed. Very professional and attentive. Highly recommend for great service. Lori Mitchell is the best at taking care of our needs. She made the sale very easy for us.
Scott picked us up in the morning completely prepared with all of the homes that fit our criteria and helped us focus in on the house that was right for us. Following our commitment, he oversaw and helped navigate the inspection, repairs and other issues to get us to closing. It was easier than buying the house in our hometown, Dallas.
I was searching for a real estate firm on the internet. I came upon Scott and Lori's website and was instantly pleased with the functionality of the website. I had reviewed others and did not find one that made it as simple to view properties by certain qualifications and then to save them in my own favorites... this really made my narrowing down of properties very easy. Being from out-of-town, that was very important. I needed to be very organized in order to make my trip to Colorado to tour properties productive. Then I began speaking with Lori directly after several months of narrowing down the properties. Lori was very knowledgeable and helpful. I needed to work with someone like Lori because I was an inexperienced rental property buyer. She helped me to choose the right area in Colorado's large ski country among sorting out several other questions that I had. I flew out for a quick weekend and with Lori's help was able to purchase a terrific condo in Keystone the same Sunday. I was very much at ease spending 1 1/2 days with Lori viewing properties because of her easygoing and friendly personality. I would recommend them... a very professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and friendly real estate firm.
Without fail, Lori responded directly to and resolved both our direct and indirect worries and concerns regarding property ownership and management in Colorado state. Quite simply she provided a great service, and I will be going back to her when it becomes time to upgrade.
Their professionalism and attention to detail has allowed our real estate transactions to move along easily.
We appreciate the numerous phone conversations needed to explain to prospective buyers the status of this property. We are so happy that the closing finally happened and we imagine that they are, too! Thank you, Scott and Lori!!!
Lori was able to get us a full priced offer the same day it was listed.
