Mike represented the buyers, while I worked with the buyers as as their lender. I can tell you that Mike's team was professional, and consistently followed up to confirm the loan process was going smoothly. Buyers should be happy to know that Mike's team is working for them behind the scenes to avoid any "surprises." Our combined efforts resulted in a smooth closing.

Mike Lies and his team were incredible. Moving here from another state we feel fortunate to have found them. Mike was on top of the busy Colorado market, anticipating each step to make our search and sale a success. He was quick to understand our needs and desires, showing us relavent properties. He was always available and made us feel we were important clients to him. You can't go wrong choosing him as your realtor.
