Audrie brought some sanity to a crazy market in Gunnison. Audrie tirelessly sought properties for us that met our requirements, and through her diligence we were able to purchase one. Through the entire process Audrie communicated deadlines well in advance, let us know what to expect, and reminded us of the little details we needed to take care of, even when those weren't her responsibility.
Audrie's follow-up AFTER the sale has been amazing as well, she has made sure the seller followed through on obligations, and continued to assist us. I highly recommend her for your real estate needs, she
