We thoroughly enjoyed working with Trudi and highly recommend her to anyone who may be considering a home sale or purchase. Her knowledge of the Roaring Fork Valley — and particularly our neighborhood — was invaluable and helped ensure that we were competitive in our pricing and listing strategy. Our working relationship with Trudi began several years ago, when we moved out of the Valley and decided to rent out our home. She became our property manager and very successfully kept the home maintained and rented with no interruptions for nearly five years. When the time came to sell our home, Trudi very expertly navigated the market, helping us determine what improvements were needed to attract buyers and marketing the property to her extensive network of contacts. This network includes dozens of local vendors, who gave us favorable rates and excellent work because of Trudi.Trudi paid very personal, careful attention to our property, and her husband was an expert handyman for a number of repairs over the years. We felt very comfortable in her hands and knew she was capable of handling any emergency or issue that could arise. In short, Trudi is a gem. We owe her a debt of gratitude and consider her a great asset to the Roaring Fork community.

I am writing a testimonial for Trudi Watkins. I have known Trudi for 3 years and have nothing but positive things to say. She was the agent who helped me purchase a house in Grand Junction, CO. I had not bought a home for many years and she spent many hours explaining in detail the contract and transaction. I absolutely endorse her qualifications and knowledge. I always knew I could rely on her if I had any questions. Optimistic and easy to get along with, Trudi was a joy to work with. I am highly confident in my recommendation and believe Trudi would be a great fit for your real estate needs.

I have had the pleasure of working with Trudi Watkins-Johnson on several real estate transactions. She is always thorough and does extensive research to find the best properties for her clients. She examines the market and does not overprice sales or rentals. Nothing is worse than watching your property repriced downward and then downward again. Trudi sold my mother’s house an hour after listing it. Her negotiating advice has been always been right on the money. Her attention to detail in writing contracts saved me from a costly oversight on a recent property sale. Trudi is tenacious and will give 100% effort all the time. A person cannot go wrong having Trudi and TRUDI WATKINS REAL ESTATE LLC handle their real estate needs.
