I can say without question that the folks at Jackson Real
Estate and Appraisal were the most professional, ethical, diligent
and knowledgeable brokers of any I have ever encountered in my business
life. No one knows the area and the real estate market in the Jackson

highly to anyone seeking to buy or sell property in Jackson Hole.

In our opinion, Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisal is the
leading real estate brokerage firm in Jackson Hole. We have worked
with the company over the past several years and have had a positive
experience. The agents at Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisal
have excellent insight into the Jackson Hole real estate market.
This knowledge, combined with the company’s extensive resources
of data and analytic tools, fosters a unique and thorough understanding
of a dynamic and complex market. We found this blend of objective
data and subjective interpretation to be an important advantage
when buying and selling our properties.
In addition to Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisal’s
strong understanding of the market, the agents are outstanding.
They understood our objectives and kept them in mind throughout
our relationship. The agents always put our goals first, never pressuring
us to take any type of premature action. Our discussions on issues/strategies
were always thoughtful, balanced and never self-serving.
Over the years, we have learned that many real estate agents simply
“coordinate” the transaction and are not able to offer
sound advice backed by experience and data. Jackson Hole Real Estate
& Appraisal is not like other companies and provides value added
services. We could not be more pleased with the service and support
we have received from Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisal.

I retained Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisal to represent
me in the search and acquisition of two homes in Jackson Hole; the
first in 1997 and a replacement property in 2004. With a background
of 30 years in commercial real estate myself, I recognized and appreciated
the true professionalism to Jackson Hole Real Estate and Appraisal
are committed.
In particular, they demonstrate:
Market Knowledge -They are a local company with
an unparalleled knowledge of all aspects of Jackson Hole and its
various real estate markets.
Patience - In both of my transactions, I looked
at a wide variety of properties over a 1-2 year period before making
an acquisition. I never felt pressured to act prematurely.
Integrity -For every property I was shown, I was
informed of not just the positive aspects, but also of any and all
negatives and/or risks.
Negotiation Skills -I always felt well counseled
on negotiating strategy and, in both cases, felt that, together,
we achieved the most favorable transaction attainable.
The people at Jackson Hole Real Estate and Appraisal are clearly
committed to the highest standards of real estate professionalism.

Our Thanks to you and your organization for your loyalty, your knowledge
and your suggestions as to our proper pricing and preparation of
the property for listing and for sale with your company.
Your personal attention was a very special bonus as you received
the bid, negotiated the bid and efficiently completed the sale.
Thank you for your lesson of clarity,

Having been an out of town homeowner and condo owner for over 25
years I have come to know and understand Jackson and Teton Village
quite well. When faced with the need to sell my home under a time
schedule, I decided to give you an exclusive listing primarily because
all of the attention you gave to my properties. Your yearly appraisals
were more impressive than the many letters I get each year from
brokers who are trying to get listings.
My instincts certainly paid off. I have bought and sold many properties
over the years, and have represented many friends in their sales
and closings. I was particularly impressed at your constant, and
yet appropriate, communications throughout the process. Your attention
to all details and ability to answer important questions made the
sale of my home about as easy as I could have imagined. Here in
the East, nearly all of the work you did would have been done by
the seller's attorney. Having acted as a sellers attorney on numerous
occasions, I am most grateful for all of the calls you made and
your close attention to every detail. Most of all I appreciate your
overall knowledge of how to make a deal happen, and your ability
to do so which is so important to an out of town seller.
Sincerely yours,

We just wanted to drop a note to express how pleased we are with

Jackson Hole Real Estate and Appraisal is a wonderful company to
work with. After visiting Jackson Hole on vacations for more than
20 years, my wife and I decided to purchase a house in the Jackson
area in anticipation of retirement. Our agent kept us informed,
through the internet, of available houses as they came on the market.
He took the time to thoroughly understand our needs and always provided
us with honest and extremely useful opinions with no pressure whatsoever.
During a summer vacation, he spent an entire week with us checking
out over 80 houses to narrow the list down to five, from which we
chose one which fits us perfectly! During this time, the folks at
JHRE & A became more than our agents, they are our friends.
We are currently in the process of moving permanently to Jackson
Hole.
In summary, we could not be more pleased with our experience and
strongly recommend that anyone interested in real estate in Jackson
Hole or the surrounding area should first contact Jackson Hole Real
Estate and Appraisal.

While it was hard at first for us to know exactly what we wanted
in Jackson, you were very helpful and patient, showing us several
properties with long and short term rental potential, in several
areas of town.
By looking at those areas in a particular cost spread, it really
helped us to decide what we wanted and would work for us. You were
very knowledgeable about the Jackson area and also clearly knew
the properties and the steps we needed to follow when we did make
an offer and sign a contract. Your attention to detail and making
a to-do list for us has been so helpful, as we needed to turn our
attention to selling a property near home. You have consistently
reminded us of our upcoming deadlines and have been the on-site
person for the inspection and other jobs needed at the property.
In our opinion, YOU ARE THE BEST!!

The Jackson area, whose residents include actor Harrison Ford, Vice
President Dick Cheney and World Bank President Jim Wolfensohn, saw
a cooling in its high-end real-estate market when the 1990s faded,
according to David E. Viehman, of Jackson Hole Real Estate &
Appraisal. But overall home sales rose 21% in the first six months
of 2004 from a year earlier, the firm says, while deals involving
properties costing more than $1 million rose 45%.

Our agent proved to be one of the best Realtors we have dealt with
through many years of transfers and home purchases. From the onset
she realized our situation would require some creative thinking.
She explored many options on our behalf, bringing to our attention
several possibilities that would otherwise have been overlooked,
and her efforts resulted in two sales and satisfied clients....thoroughly
organized...asked the right questions...actually listened...stayed
in contact...anticipated questions... on time, ready to go, information
in hand. Her professionalism and thoroughness were impressive, and
we were very please with her abilities throughout the transactions.
Congratulations for a job well done.

We had many realtors recommended to us and we met with several.
Your effort and research was clearly above the rest and was the
basis for selecting you as our realtor....Looking at all those houses
with a two year old is trying and you helped to make the process
less stressful.

You inspired confidence in me from our first meeting and never failed
to honor every word you promised me. I appreciated your diligence
in the midst of having to make repairs, etc. to the house whether
it was the crawl space or the radon mitigation.
You have a wonderful, reasonable demeanor and are a calming force
when disappointments would be forthcoming and believe me there were
quite a few. You never failed to help me understand the issues involved.
I saw the efforts you consistently made to market the property and
believed from the outset you could handle the internet in a most
efficient and productive way. I was not disappointed. I have interfaced
with many agents and companies in my course of selling properties,
both in Jackson and in California, and it is reassuring to know
there remain men of industry, honor, and integrity who take pride
in a job well done! You and your company will certainly be acknowledged
when I think of direction for any friends or contacts I may have.
Warm regards,

Thankfully, during this very difficult deal, I had the excellent
fortune to work with two of your associates, both of whom went way
beyond the call of duty in their tireless efforts to complete the
sale of my property....Never once did I receive anything but the
finest and most empathetic assistance. Please extend my grateful
compliments to both of these women. Congratulations to you on your
superlative staff.

JHRE has given us outstanding service both as buyers and sellers.
Professional, friendly, fast, and courteous are the most accurate
words we can use to describe all of our experiences with JHRE.
Michael and Diann Redzich

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
JHRE&A took on the marketing of a piece of land that we had
been trying to sell for some time, and frankly had given up on.
Our previous experience had been that no one wished to tackle the
issues, and miscommunications that had caused our property to be
labeled as plagued with problems. Despite its small size relative
the other land sales both in acreage and value in the Jackson area,
we were treated the same as if we were selling a 2,000 acre ranch.
JHRE&A tenaciously approached the issues, carefully navigated
the various personalities involved, and ultimately achieved a superior
result for both us the seller, as well as the buyer. They also put
to rest a long standing series of miscommunications in a neighborhood.
I think everyone was appreciative of their efforts. We wholeheartedly
recommend JHRE&A based on their great knowledge of the area,
as well as his high level of honesty and professionalism.

My experience with Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisal, LLC
was quite professional and the transaction was completed sooner
than expected. After appraising the opportunity, the business process
proceeded very efficiently with JHRE&A’s management of
the entire transaction. I look forward to doing additional business
with Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisal, LLC in the near future.

I wish to thank you for the outstanding service you provided me
throughout the 18 month period that I was searching for a second
home in Jackson. You educated me well on the local market, and truly
worked for me as a buyers’ agent. Your knowledge of the local
market and of individual properties was invaluable, as you were
quickly able to narrow down the search to properties that would
suit and not waste time on unsuitable properties. You were generous
with your time and advice, and never put any pressure on me to buy.
In fact there were several times that you gave me good advice that
protected me from an unwise purchase decision, and created more
work for yourself. Once I had found a suitable property you helped
me negotiate an excellent contract that was on favorable terms,
despite it being a sellers market. There were special conditions
included in the contract that protected my interests, that would
not have been there had I dealt directly with the sellers agent.
Once we had a contract in place, you exceeded all expectations in
looking after my interests, right up to the time of closing. Your
honesty, integrity and outstanding service are the reasons that
I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone wanting to buy or
sell a property in the Jackson area.

The first time we met a JHRE&A agent was after a vacation in
Jackson Hole. We were headed home when we decided to stop in a real
estate office in Alpine. Knowing we could be a waste of her time,
since we were just passing through on our wayhome, the agent still
took the time to be helpful and kind. This led me to continue wanting
her to help me. We emailed each other several times, her sending
me listings of what she had and I explaining further what I was
looking for. The end result was that we now are happy land owners
in Wyoming and would contact JHRE&A when we have further interests.

I chose JHRE&A as my real estate company because their agents
are not in the business for the quick fix. My agent was committed
to finding the right value for each and every client.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We worked with Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisal for several
years enroute to finding the right property for us in Jackson. We
found JHRE&A to be unfailingly ethical, honest, professional
and focused on helping us locate the property that met our needs.
JHRE&A has an excellent knowledge of the Jackson market and
brings a good understanding of pricing and value in Jackson Hole.
We appreciated their ability to distinguish our needs versus our
wants and then to identify those homes which matched our criterion.
In addition, their follow up and follow through are both excellent
and his attention to detail in writing a contract is extremely valuable.
JHRE&A is a professional real estate company that definitely
represented our (not their) interests throughout the search and
finally the transaction.
