Slifer Smith & Frampton, Steamboat Springs Testimonials

I would (and have) recommend her.

He offered good advice through the entire process of listing and selling our home. A good listener and negotiator with high standards and integrity.

His attention to detail and ideas were great.

He keeps you out of trouble during the due diligence and closing process - he doesn’t need supervision like most realtors I’ve dealt with. His knowledge of the Steamboat area real estate scene is encyclopedic. I’ve been involved in around 20 real estate transactions and Doug is the best.

She was always readily available to answer any questions or concerns we had throughout the process. This was our first time selling a home and her knowledge and expertise made the process a lot smoother for us. We felt comfortable and confident in her abilities.

He was extremely helpful in navigating the buying process, particularly since for most of the escrow period I was not in Steamboat. He was instrumental in getting the sellers to agree to fix a dishwasher leak that the sellers initially denied that the leak existed. I would strongly recommend him to anybody looking to buying a home in Steamboat.

All three times were extraordinary experiences. He knows the local area, is able to find properties that fit your needs, and gives great advice on how to negotiate. He definitely goes the extra mile and is able to give sound information on potential income of a condo, potential projects that a complex is looking at, etc. We highly recommend Doug and would definitely use him again to purchase property in Steamboat Springs!

This is the second condo we have been able to purchase with Doug's expert advice. He is responsive to questions and always prompt to attain information and comps. We highly regard Doug's style in putting a deal together.

He’s a professional in every way. He was accessible, returned calls and texts in a timely manner, and answered all of our questions. Our experience with Doug was top notch in every way.

He knows the market extraordinarily well and has the data to prove it. Doug also anticipates questions and issues before they arise. He proactively works to answer / resolve them to ensure his customers get the best possible service. We always turn to Doug for our local real estate transactions.

Found me a great place that was perfect and then made sure I was protected at every step through the offer and close process. i

She is incredibly knowledgeable, diligently guiding us through every step of the selling process with expertise and ease. Her savvy negotiation skills secured us a great sale price on our condo. We truly felt cared for and in capable hands the entire time. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier realtor!

..We wanted to thank you for all the help with purchasing our unit at One Steamboat Place. The whole condo search sure got a lot easier once you got involved. You handled all the legwork for us and were invaluable once we left Steamboat and have been doing everything long distance. And I really appreciate the advice around the offer and counter-offer levels - you were spot on. We definitely need to get together for dinner or drinks when we get back out there.

! Such a pleasure working with her from start to finish, her balance of professionalism and personality really made the whole process so enjoyable. We’re so grateful for her diligence and hard work, couldn’t recommend her more and will absolutely do business with Sarah again for any future real estate projects!

Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a broker in Routt County.

It was also enjoyable, fun and relaxed working with you, particularly since you really listened and absorbed what we were trying to accomplish.

His skill and knowledge saved us from the problems we heard about from others buying in this same development. Several years later, we went to Doug again to buy a house. Again, his knowledge of the market and locations helped us buy the perfect lot and house. We would recommend anyone in the market go to Doug!

I've worked with her on a residential sale, a residential purchase, and a commercial buy, and every experience has been outstanding. She is communicative, helpful, and passionate about taking care of the people she works with. I would trust her with any real estate transaction and would recommend her without hesitation.

They provided a level of service that far exceeded our expectations. Erin went above and beyond by helping us organize local contractors and preparing my father's condo for sale. They made a difficult time easier for us.

When we had a question, she always got back to us quickly with answers . She followed through and took care of what needed to be done when we were on vacation trying to make an offer on a property and close. She knew we were interested in property near ours and as soon as it came up for sale she let us know, so we could get an offer in. She was very diligent making sure everything was in place so that closings would go smoothly. We were very happy with her services and look forward to continue working with her in the future.

She went way above the call of duty for us. She has been looking for furniture that is coming available for us to put in the condo and even helping when anything comes up with our unit as we are not in Steamboat. This is after we closed and have our unit. Wow! I have never met someone who has worked as hard for us and put our best interests first. I tell everyone I know to use Sarah up in Steamboat and I will be using her again here in the near future to buy another place. Best agent I have ever had and that is saying something!

We will miss Steamboat, but will surely be back in the near future since it was our second home for over 20 years!

In the future I hope to work with Doug again. Your honesty, integrity and work ethic is, in a word, refreshing.

I bought my condo from Doug's former real estate company 23 years ago and was impressed then as I am now. I listed my condo with Doug when he was with Sothby's so I was in the transition period when he was going to your firm. The transition was seamless.

Everything done well takes time. Thank you so much Doug Labor, for your support and continued communication right through to the end.

What I didn't really realize was the extent to which I would rely on you as a partner. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the excitement of Steamboat residency and to not consider all of the tactical steps required to make it happen...especially if a mortgage is involved. Living 1800 miles away could have added so much stress to the process if you and your company had not taken responsibility for our best interests. This could not have gone better or have been more pleasant if we lived there and done business with friends!

He was absolutely wonderful. We were unsure of what we wanted & where we wanted to be, so he took us around & showed us many different areas & types of properties. The after we became more informed, he helped us to fine tune our search until we found the wonderful property that we now own in Steamboat.

Professional, articulate, focused. Best realtor I ever worked with.

They both were very accommodating for times to look at properties finding priority property to visit and throughout the closing. They always texted and emailed to make sure I didn’t miss any deadlines and things were done efficiently. They also check with zoning and other regulatory agencies for me and put me in touch with the right people to build my confidence in a purchase of a lot in stagecoach my experience with them would be summed up and I would use them again and will for a ranch as well as recommend them to others. Thank you for providing such great service through great people sincerely, Eric.

We recommend you to anyone seeking property in Steamboat Springs and surrounding areas. You really made our dreams come true.

As an investor that has been involved in many real estate transactions, you are as fine a broker as I have worked with. You truly listened to our needs and desires, and your follow through was outstanding.

With Doug's help, my wife and I have purchased two townhomes and a very nice house in Steamboat over the past ten years. Doug knows this market intimately. He is incredibly bright and knowledgeable. He is absolutely honest and, as a Buyer's Broker, he is completely dedicated to you as a buyer....having no built-in conflicts of interest as in the case of even the best of listing agents. If you want to buy, you simply cannot do better than Doug Labor and his crew.

His negotiating and communication skills are excellent. His strategy in pricing and marketing the property were the reason we were able to sell this home.

They describe you in terms that are not used anywhere in the business today. You are selfless, honest, hardworking and you know your stuff. They feel under supported in most ventures, however the striking experience of someone working for them is powerful!

We wanted the perfect home and it took some time to find the right one. Doug was very earnest in making sure he found the right home for us.

Throughout the entire process of us finding and buying a home she was diligent, went the extra mile always, and was so easy to work with. She constantly kept our needs in mind and even contacted several houses off market on our behalf. She’s the hardest working and most knowledgeable agent in Steamboat. Definitely recommend working with her!

! Such a pleasure working with her from start to finish, her balance of professionalism and personality really made the whole process so enjoyable. We’re so grateful for her diligence and hard work, couldn’t recommend her more and will absolutely do business with Sarah again for any future real estate projects!

I met Sarah i’m Steamboat ski resort. She worked with me over a year to find just what I was looking for and help me to identify realistic desires in my real estate request. We met and looked at properties and she brought her assistant Lauren, who is learning the industry will be excellent with her. We were able to uncover not only what was my dream property, but comparisons to feel comfortable with the price and the offering Lauren Sarah made the transaction and the location of a dream property come true with follow-through and laughter and details to make me feel comfortable with this purchase. I’d recommend them to family members and best friends which I already have and I look forward to purchasing a piece of land for some horses in the near future through them. Thank you, Sarah and Lauren. Sincerely, Eric Kessler

He provided us with a great deal of information regarding the local community and helped us with every aspect of the real estate transaction. We could not have been happier with our selection of a real estate broker. We would not hesitate to recommend Doug to our friends and acquaintances.

Stellar service with professional, friendly connection, and a knack for finding just the right home.

As you know, our tastes are very specific and without your diligent help we would not have been able to get exactly what we wanted.

It took a while to sell but the market finally opened up and almost immediately after switching to ssf, we had an offer. He went out of his way to help me sell and would recommend Alex to navigate the market and his advice is spot on. Thank you.

He is just the nicest guy and truly cared about helping us find our dream vacation home.

We highly recommend her to future buyers or sellers.

She is very responsive and communicates frequently with updates and perspectives. We have worked with Linda as both a seller and buyer, and have full confidence that she always has our best interest in mind.

Thanks for taking all the hard work out of selling!

He helped me purchase a condo in Steamboat sight unseen. I was highly impressed with his negotiating skill. I felt Doug pursued the best deal for me and was not just pushing to "get the deal done" as some other brokers/agents tend to do (speaking from experience). I am extremely pleased with the final price and the overall transaction - all went smoothly. I would highly recommend him!
