“No stress. Never would I have thought that phrase could apply to real estate transactions. Particularly contrasted with each one I’ve endured over the years here in California.
We have had the pleasure of working with David Baldinger of Steamboat Village Brokers on four Steamboat property transactions – two purchases and two sales over the past nine years, each of which was amazingly low stress for us because David and his staff make it a point to absorb the stressful details and logistics on their side of the equation thus making the experience for their clients as uncomplicated and straightforward as possible.
Late last winter, on short notice we asked David to find us a very specific type of condominium property within a specific price range to meet our recently changed physical, location and layout needs. No small feat in Steamboat’s very tight condo market.
Living at a distance, we depended on David’s extensive knowledge of the market to locate just the right property. He kept us informed with regular updates as he and his team searched for us. We viewed potential condos via the internet and/or faxed information. His positive “can-do” approach throughout was always reassuring despite the fact that we had given him a tough assignment. One day in April we got the call – he had found exactly the right property but we would need to move very quickly.
After a quick trip to Steamboat to view the unit, we made an offer on the spot. The property was precisely what we were seeking – every element of our needs was met. But next we needed to sell our other condo, quickly, as we wanted to do a 1031 real estate exchange. David’s professional, efficient and straightforward approach to marketing our unit had positive results. He kept us informed with details about where, when and how our property was being advertised and marketed, including feedback from other realtors and buyers who toured our condominium. His thoroughness, honesty and excellent communication enabled us to make an intelligent business decision when it came time to consider pricing options and happily, purchase offers.
Everything worked so well that we found ourselves buying and selling simultaneously. Most observers would rate that as potentially among the most high stress set of circumstances a real estate client might experience. However, David and the Steamboat Village Brokers staff again made it all happen without a hitch because of their great follow through and attention to detail.
If you are looking for a professional realtor to sell your property, or to find a new one, I would not hesitate to recommend David Baldinger. He is the most knowledgeable, responsive real estate broker I have ever worked with.”
