Led Gardner - Vail, Beaver Creek, Bachelor Gulch

Perhaps you would find it of value to hear a few words straight from some of my clients... their first-hand experience in working with me speaks volumes for the level of professional service that I provide.

	Please accept this letter as my unqualified recommendation for Led Gardner and the services he provides as a real estate broker. The experience I have had with Led in the process of listing and selling my house in the Vail Valley has been the most fruitful and the most enjoyable home transaction I have ever experienced. His counsel regarding market conditions and recommended selling prices was realistic and provided a sound basis for setting the initial price point. His follow up counsel was an essential ingredient in working through the negotiation process and in getting our property sold quickly. Once a contract had been signed Led’s follow through service was impeccable and every detail was handled with the utmost level of professionalism and accuracy. Led closely monitored the myriad of details between the contract signing and the final closing to ensure the process went smoothly. He handled the rough spots quickly to keep the deal on track to closing, and kept all parties to the agreement happy with the outcomes of each stage of the process. Led unfailingly delivered on each of his commitments throughout the transaction. Sincerely, Steven Pope

	Led Gardner acted as our Realtor for the purchase of a house in Vail in February 2010. Led was recommended to us because of his experience with the Vail property market. We were purchasing the house partially as an investment, so getting a good deal was very important. Led really understood our personal wants and investment needs, and showed us a number of houses that fitted all of our requirements. He quickly got to know what both me and my wife liked and disliked, and was very good at finding appropriate properties. Once we found the right house, Led negotiated a very good discount with the seller, without which the property would have fallen outside of our price range. He then worked with a number of inspectors who found some minor issues, and thereafter negotiated an escrow fund to pay for repairs post-close. Even well after the sale had closed, Led continued to assist us with organizing the repair work. He also recommended builders for some remodeling work that we will be undertaking soon. Led has helped us make Vail a home, even taking the time to ski with me on several occasions last season. His insight into the Vail market was, and continues to be, invaluable and I have no hesitation in recommending him. Sincerely, Tim Moore Vail, Colorado

	"Having owned several real estate companies, it was very refreshing to find an agent such as Led. From the moment we listed our property, Led had the attention to detail that is so critical in making sure a property gets sold. In a soft market we were able to attain the price we wanted. Much of that had to do with Led's intuitive marketing program. My hat is off to Led Gardner!" Michael Ledwitz Avon

Thank you." John Klutznick Vail

	"Could you find anyone more knowledge than Led? No Could you find anyone who will work harder for you than Led? No Could you find anyone more professional than Led? No Could you find anyone who will understand your needs better than Led? No Then why would you work with anyone but Led to find the home of your dreams in this fabulous paradise!!!!" John C. Moore & Patricia O'Neil Glen Lyon / Cascade Village, Vail

	"I have spent the past five years skiing and enjoying all that the Vail Valley has to offer. During that time, I dreamed of the day I would be a homeowner. I met Led Gardner through a mutual friend and our relationship began as ski buddies, with Led as our consummate guide to the slopes during the day and the village during the evenings. Led and his wife Connie then introduced us to the joys of the beautiful summers in Vail, and all the wonderful warm weather activities that the Vail Valley has to offer. When the time was right for me to become a homeowner, I knew that Led's impeccable attention to detail and his thorough knowledge of Vail real estate would prove invaluable in my search for the ideal second home. What was better, Led truly represented my interests as a buyer, something I found very comforting and relaxing. Led’s superb attention to detail along with his ability to listen to our thoughts and requests helped us find the perfect home in Vail, one that was exactly what we were looking for. I cannot wait until I am ready for our next purchase! Led, thank you very much." David Hurst, MD Vail

	"Led, Think about how crazy it is that we bought this place sight unseen because of our confidence in your judgment. I am a risk adverse person and this is highly unusual. You handled the entire process since we first met you with fairness and skill. Thanks again for everything." A. Ursaner Ski-in/Ski-out Condominum Lionshead

	"I knew Led before he became my real estate professional. He is an intelligent, moral and enthusiastic human being who brings the same great skills and expertise to real estate as he does to our runs down Prima Cornice! In terms of knowledge and honesty, Led is the best real estate professional that I have ever met. He made our real estate investment process in Vail very enjoyable. It is a pleasure to count Led as one of my good friends. I will definitely continue my real estate investments with him for many years." Alexander Goldin, MD Vail

	"I have become well acquainted with Led over the last seven years as a real estate broker and now dear friend. We have consummated seven successful real estate transactions together, including Beaver Creek, Bachelor Gulch, Vail and Red Sky Ranch, and I anticipate there will be more in the future. His communication and interpersonal relationships are unmatched, and his representation on behalf of his clients is exceptional. Led has tremendous drive and maturity. He has a strong commitment and sincere interest in positively helping people, and wins the confidence and trust of others in a quiet and unassuming manner. Led has been involved in a number of diverse, quality Vail Valley organizations that have resulted in the development of a high level of community participation and commitment that is seldom found in a broker. He sets high standards of excellence for himself, and can always be counted upon to fulfill outside obligations with this same high degree of excellence. Led is admired by others in the community, and is frequently sought out to assume leadership positions in various organizations. In summary, Led is an outstanding example of an ethical, conscientious businessman. I recommend him without reservation." Dr. Barrett R. Klemm Vail (seven transactions)

	"Dear Led, We want to thank you for taking such good care of us during the project of selling our Beaver Creek home, from the first introductions through to the actual sale of the home. You were professional in all your dealings with us, and we so appreciated your attention to every detail (and there were a lot!), helping us to show our home at its best. Also, your helping us to see we should continue with this buyer when we were impatient. We are so impressed with your warmth and kindness throughout, and your identification with the home and with us. Your skillful handling of everything made the sale possible. Thank you for arranging for us to have such beautiful photography of our home. We will always treasure them. Thank you for being so much more than our “Real Estate Man.” We consider you a friend. We hope you and your family enjoy this book. In Christian love, Ron and Shirley" Beaver Creek

	"Without a doubt, Led Gardner would be at the top of my list of superior performers. In marketing a multi-million dollar property for me, Led took total control and responsibility. His knowledge of the market, combined with his good instincts and the ability to cultivate buyer interest resulted in a sale at a price that was fair for both the buyer and the seller. Without a doubt, Led worked for and earned his commission. For anyone needing a highly motivated, hard working, honest and ethical professional in real estate, I would urge you to consider Led Gardner." B.

As a former office manager/Vice President of Merrill Lynch Realty in Dallas, I am an extremely demanding client. Based on my 22 years of participating in and supervising countless real estate transactions, I can recommend Led without reservation." K. Weber Vail (two transactions)

	"While we are very happy that our house is sold, we are saddened that we will no longer be in daily contact with Led Gardner, one of the finest men on the planet. Not only did Led capably fulfill the obligations of broker, he went the extra mile in representing our property to its fullest potential. Open houses and broker visits were handled with great dignity and careful planning. No matter the request, he was always available and always a gentleman." L. Sugar Arrowhead Resort Cordillera Resort (three transactions)

	Dear Led, I wanted to write to thank you for the exemplary service you rendered to us in the sale of our house at 749 Holden Road in Beaver Creek. From my first contact with you, you went far beyond the normal services, each with the highest degree of quality. I know the "normal standard" because I was a commercial real estate broker and developer for many years. When I contacted you about my house, you generously offered to personally check the landscape maintenance problem I was having, and continued to do so for several months... and you did not even have the listing on the property. Immediately upon listing, you produced high quality materials and saw that they were distributed on a weekly basis to the right people. I was impressed with your progress reports to me, keeping me informed as to who was looking and what your estimate was as to their interest. Your follow up with needed services to closing were timely and you kept me informed all along the way of any potential problems. Our closing went as smoothly as any in which I have participated. You have my five star recommendation to anyone who would consider your services. You are truly a quality real estate broker. Thank you again for all you have done for us. Sincerely, D.H. Roddy Beaver Creek Resort
