Andrew was fantastic. He helped me quickly sell my home after it being on the market for over 2 years. Once I switched to Independence Reality, I had my home sold in 3 months. I would highly recommend Andrew and I plan to use him when I buy a new home.

Best Real Estate professional in town. Have used others, but they don’t come close to his knowledge and attention in your marketing your house. Our property sold within 3-4 months after listing. Highly recommended.

I really liked how Andrew and his wife Tracy helped us thru the buying process.  He took his time and explained the process and all the paperwork that was included with the purchase. Andrew is also very punctual and always responds to emails and text messages in a very timely manner.  With that said, Andrew probably showed me and my wife over 50 homes in the Leadville area over a one month time period.  Thank you for helping us find a great home and Investment property!

Andrew is miles ahead of all other realtors in Leadville. He is very knowledgeable of the market conditions and has excellent marketing and communications skills. He and his wife Traci helped us sell a home in Leadville and also helped us with the paperwork on another home we bought from the owner. In all parts of each transaction, Andrew was there for us. I would definitely recommend Andrew for anyone looking for a home in the Leadville area.

Andrew sold my house in a very difficult market. He employed sophisticated methods, and held open houses, employed a wide variety of Internet advertising alternatives, and expertly navigated the house to sales completion. He and his wonderful wife Tracy were always available when I had questions. They made excellent recommendations on preparing the house for sale, such as replacing old carpeting and other upgrades to make the house competitive. I recommend Andrew and Tracy without reservation to anyone who wants to sell a home in Leadville or any surrounding mountain communities.

Andrew is excellent! He really understood the type of house that my husband and I were looking for and the first one he showed us was a home run! Throughout the process, Andrew was quick to reply to any questions and very knowledgeable of the area, utilities, etc. Our entire home buying experience was stress-free. I would highly recommend Andrew to any buyer or seller.

Andrew is trustworthy and reliable. He has had my properties continuously filled with responsible tenants since 2014. I couldn’t be happier with his professional service.

My wife and I hired Independence Realty to manage our home in Leadville as a Vacation Rental in November 2017. Immediately Andrew and Tracy were very helpful in assisting us to get our home ready to rent as a Vacation Rental.  Andrew is extremely responsive to any special requests we may have regarding our home.   If you are looking for a fun, energetic, responsive and professional Property Manager in Leadville, then I would highly recommend Independence Realty.
