Buying Real Estate

For buyers, I combine deep local market knowledge, the most unparalleled and distinctive business practices and an abiding love of Crested Butte to guide clients to the perfect residence and/or investment. I take great pride in using considerable experience, resources and global connections to artfully unite extraordinary properties with extraordinary lives.

Born of the storied auction house, Sotheby's International Realty continues to provide exceptional service and astute valuation for many of the world's finest and most luxurious homes. I specialize in luxury homes and estates, ranch and acreage properties, condominiums, ski in/ski out, lake view, river frontage properties, golf course homes, residential and commercial developments as well as custom builder representation throughout the Crested Butte and Gunnison area.

Buy with Confidence

Whether you are a first time home buyer or an experienced real estate investor, going it alone is often stressful, time consuming and much more expensive than you originally thought. Some people believe that if they buy direct from a seller, they will save the commission fees. This is far from the truth. Buyers who chose to buy direct often miss out on huge savings because they are unaware of information they could have used to negotiate a far better investment.

Why to Buy with a Buyer's Agent

Unlike the Seller’s agent, a Buyer's Agent represents you, the buyer. I will put your best interests first and will work diligently to get you the best obtainable investment. I have the field knowledge, experience and critical intelligence gathering tools to assist you. A Buyer's agent is an expert in buyer representation and the home buying process.

As your Buyer's Agent I know the real estate market inside and out. I track the market and keep you up to date with my monthly Crested Butte Real Estate and Community Newsletter. Understanding the local market is key when negotiating the best price and terms.

The seller pays my commission. Many buyers mistakenly believe that if they buy directly from the seller or Seller’s Agent, he or she will save on the commission. That is simply not true. The seller will pay the same commission to his agent, regardless if you have an agent or not. As your Buyer's Agent I will negotiate a better price and terms on your behalf. You will end up saving more than you could imagine, in areas you didn’t know existed.

As your Buyer's Agent I track the seller’s pricing method and motivation. By understanding these two major negotiation components, you will add strength to your negotiation plan and complete a more favorable transaction.

Having a third party negotiate on your behalf is the first rule of innovative negotiation techniques. If you negotiate for yourself, you may face situations where you must give immediate responses to questions you would rather sleep on. A third party negotiator buys you time to think and analyze the situation in a non-stressful environment. As your Buyer's Agent I will assist you with all necessary legal paperwork such as the Purchase Contract, Inspection Objections, Loan Conditions, Title Objections and many more. I will also refer you to top local mortgage agents, attorneys and property inspectors. I will be there for you and your transaction every step of the way.

Testimonial

"Now that the long ordeal is over and we have finally closed, I wanted to complement you on your professionalism and your knowledge of the Crested Butte Real Estate market. I have never before closed on a property that had so many problems and involved so many people.

Thank goodness for your bulldog tenacity with the different people and your willingness to go far beyond the call of duty. Not many Realtors would have known what to do about the easement problems, or known who to call for each stage of the process to insure the problems would be cured in time for closing. Without your help I do not believe we would have ever closed on the home of our dreams. You are not only our Realtor, but you have become our friend! I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for property in the Crested Butte area."

Your friend, Judge Ross A. Sears, Dallas - Texas
