"This is a ringing endorsement for our outstanding realtor Trudi Watkins-Johnson. Trudi was extremely helpful in the sale of our home in Missouri heights in 2009. She gave us consistently excellent and professional advice whenever we needed it and asked for it. She was instrumental in helping us set the right asking price to maximize our showings in a very down market. She was very insightful about what tasks to complete on the home before going on the market. When we got the overly detailed Inspectors report on our 15 year old home, she interceded for us to get the list condensed to what really needed to be addressed. 

Because of her, and her company’s guidance, we were able to get 96% of our asking price in this very difficult market on our first showing. This occurred at a time when there were nearly 60 homes in or near our price range on the market at the same time.

After her excellent steering of the negotiations with the buyer, she helped us find the right property for us to buy to build our new home. She helped us look for properties in our price range and negotiated an excellent purchase price on the property we selected. She guided us in our contract offer language to achieve the lot swap we needed to obtain the prime building spot on the neighboring property. This had the effect of preserving views and privacy for our two neighbors as well as our selves. She managed this effort very well.

In addition she even helped us find a rental property in a location near our building site. Without reservation, we would use her again for our real estate needs. - Lance & Pamela Allee, Marble, CO

"Long time local, Trudi Watkins Johnson, possesses integrity, determination, a deep understanding of current market nuances, and a willingness to go the extra miles and miles and miles to serve her clients. Masterful business intelligence, and graceful negotiation skills, unique in the Valley. I am grateful I found Trudi." - Julie Ross, Carbondale, CO

"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.- Randy & Lisa Eldridge, MI

"Our experience using Trudi as a transactional broker acquiring a residence in the Roaring Fork Valley could not have been better. She commands a firm grasp of the various aspects of brokerage, is a detailed and effective communicator dedicated to the deal, and was balanced in her approach representing both seller and buyer."- Mike & Susan Lewis, Edina MN
