" We thought about a Vail property for a couple years. Ellyn never gave up on us. She patiently sent listing and valley information.....no pressure, just helpful information. When we finally decided to visit and consider a purchase, she made sure we had the property information we needed, income and expense information we needed, and took exceptional care as we visited the properties she suggested. In the end, she helped us with the purchase of the perfect property for us and helped with closing. We would highly recommend Ellyn to anyone considering investment property in the valley. We have no regrets and look forward to adding a second property to our portfolio. "

Ellyn Courtois, a hardworking and exceptional real estate broker, is a prime example of this.
