There is nothing better than receiving sincere thanks from my clients for a job well done. Some of my clients have shared their thoughts with you below.

As a Buyer’s & Seller’s Agent, Trudi helped me purchase a home for my non-profit in March 2014. By October 2014, we realized the home was not going to be big enough for our needs and within three days of one another, Trudi listed and found a buyer for the home purchased in March and she found us another property to purchase before it was officially listed. Trudi works tirelessly to serve her clients, and her honesty and integrity with each transaction was reassuring at the very least. I would highly recommend Trudi for any real estate need you may have.

I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Trudi Watkins to anyone looking for a qualified real estate agent. In 2013, Trudi helped me buy my first house in Carbondale, Colorado. At the time, the real estate market in the Roaring Fork Valley was very competitive in prices and availability of homes. Trudi was relentless in her search for the right home, and we were successful after only a few weeks. She was organized and knowledgeable about the closing process, and I was thankful to have her experience jumping into my first large real estate transaction. Due to a new job opportunity outside of the Roaring Fork Valley I needed to sell my house, as well as purchase another in the Denver area. Without hesitation I contacted Trudi and within hours she had gathered information on my current house, as well as housing opportunities in the neighborhoods I was interested in in Denver. Not only was Trudi dedicated to selling my house in Carbondale, she also took time out of her busy schedule to drive with me to Denver on several weekends. We must have toured nearly three-dozen houses in Denver, and with her help we settled on a beautiful duplex in the Washington Park area. My house in Carbondale was only on the market for five days before we received and accepted an offer at nearly full-price. I was continually impressed at Trudi’s ability to juggle both contracts and communicate concerns and issues promptly and effectively. The closing in Denver was a continuous stressful back and forth with the seller, and I was impressed how Trudi was able to keep her emotions out of the situation, clearly communicate with the seller’s realtor, and focus on next steps. After a few months, we had successfully closed on the property in Denver and had sold the house in Carbondale, within about two weeks of each other. Trudi has become a trusted realtor for my family and me, and we so appreciate all of the time and effort she put into our home purchases and sales. I will continue to trust her for real estate advice and services for many years to come.

I just want to personally thank you for the excellent support and guidance given to our daughter and son-in-law in purchasing their first house. It was very difficult for me to give them much guidance from 1300 miles away. We relied heavily on you and you did a marvelous job protecting the kids’ best interest, finding an awesome house and guiding them (and Lisa and I) on the many steps required for due diligence, making an offer, negotiating and closing. Frankly I can’t imagine what you could have done much better. We have 2 more kids that seem to be hooked on Colorado and Lisa and I hope to have the opportunity to get a place out here some day as well. Bottom line, as long as you’re still available we won’t be looking anywhere else for assistance

It’s my absolute pleasure to recommend Trudi Watkins-Johnson at Engel & Volkers Real Estate as a Property Manager/Realtor. Trudi managed a condominium rental for me for a number of years. She carefully vetted tenants and ensured that the property was well taken care of. She is honest, dependable, and incredibly hard-working. Beyond that, she is an extremely thorough and detail oriented. When it came time for me to sell the condominium, I hired Trudi as the realtor. Her knowledge of the real estate industry and the market was a huge advantage. She put this skillset to work in order to facilitate a smooth sale and closing. We encountered some challenges dealing with the Homeowners’ Association and demands from the buyer’s realtor, however, Trudi was able to guide me and worked very hard to obtain the information we needed to satisfy the buyer. Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Trudi as a Realtor.

We recently purchased our first home and we were delighted to have Trudi Watkins-Johnson as our real estate agent. She showed us countless properties, all the while dialing in exactly what we wanted, allowing her to find us the perfect property. She then made sure we felt comfortable and understood every step of the process, she offered advice when it was needed and had our best interests at heart during all negotiations. We truly do not think we would have found such a perfect home without Trudi’s great insight and knowledge of the Roaring Fork Valley as well as her expertise in the real estate business. Trudi really went above and beyond throughout the entire process. We would recommend Trudi to anyone looking to purchase a home here in the Valley. Not only was she a pleasure to work with, we have also made a great new friend of her from this experience!

Trudi made purchasing a property from out of state a comfortable process. We really appreciate the time that she took to make sure that we knew as much as there was to know about the properties. We appreciate her tireless effort to make sure that all the details were covered!

Trudi was personal, professional & informative. She helped me through the process in a timely manner with no surprises. Outstanding!

Ours was a very hard property to sell but Trudi held our hand every step of the way. I relied on her and called for advice frequently. Trudi was always there for us. The result was a successful sale. Who could ask for more?

I will seek out Trudi if our next property is in her area, if not, I will once again ask for her expertise in helping me find someone of her quality.

I love Trudi! Trudi is so personable and willing to give 200%. I have never been more satisfied with a realtor and I have worked with MANY realtors in multiple sales & multiple states over the years.

Trudi puts 100% effort for her clients. She has been a broker for many years and has an in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market, residential housing areas, communities, and real estate procedures & legal documents. Trudi is patient while demonstrating professionalism in dealing with clients and other brokers and title company employees. She returns phone calls and email inquiries in a timely manner. Trudi explains legal documents in a way that a novice can understand. Trudi is extremely organized and displays much attention to detail. I would recommend Trudi Watkins to anyone I know who might be planning to buy or sell real estate in the Roaring Fork Valley.

Trudi was diligent, timely and honest through every moment of my real estate purchase experience. The purchase of a house, especially in the current market, can be fragile. I found when all the other brokers were trying to sell me something, Trudi was simply there to inform me of what I asked to be given to me. Never more, never less. Trudi also worked tirelessly to answer my requests. She would provide market studies within hours of me asking. Additionally, she never would withhold information from me choosing instead to educate me as much as possible about the different pieces of transaction. While other brokers holds their cards close, Trudi is honest and forthright with information. Such a breath of fresh air!
