“Our real estate dealings with Eric West have been outstanding. His overall knowledge of real estate and his experience in structuring deals that work provide a big advantage. Perhaps the greatest asset of all is his ability to reach the appropriate markets for each property with information that is factual, informative, and attractively presented. When you are looking for success, it is best to deal with a real professional.” ~ Dale Lasater Managing Partner The Lasater Ranch
“Professional and Diverse”
Eric’s professionalism and broad range of contacts helped us sell our property. The transaction was anything but ordinary and involved gas/oil rights and water rights that involved complex legal issues. Eric’s knowledge and his professional contacts in the appraisal, surveying and legal professions proved invaluable and we were able to close the sale of the property within 6 months of signing the listing. I would highly recommend Eric and would definitely use him again in future transactions.” ~ Greg Renner
“Superior Real Estate Experience”
I want to thank Eric West for listing the top luxury properties and providing for a superior real estate buying experience. Eric was responsive, knowledgeable and informative on a variety of matters during our transaction. When I needed information from the seller, Eric got it. When I wanted to expedite the closing process Eric coordinated with the Title Company and facilitated our electronic-document/signature closing in record time. Post sale when we toured the property, Eric drove several hours to our location, brought his Polaris 6 Passenger Crew Ranger (and fine bird dog Trigger!) and patiently toured my wife and I over the back country property answering all questions and making for an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend Eric West.” ~ Dennis and Monica Courtney Columbia, Maryland
“Three Year Search Is Over”
My wife and I spent over three years searching the U.S. for the perfect property. For many reasons, we had not been successful in finding that perfect place. I first met Eric in May 2009 during a vacation and I knew, almost instantly, that he would be able to lead us to the property for which we had been searching. Eric was kind enough to spend hours driving us around the area and showing us what seemed, I am sure, an endless list of properties. During this time, I came to know that Eric’s knowledge of real estate is second to none, as is his passion for the great outdoors. Eric exhibited tremendous customer focus and patience as he worked to completely understand the type of property we were seeking. The outcome of the search and Eric’s guidance was successful. We did find and buy that perfect property and couldn’t be happier. Throughout the process, Eric exhibited the highest integrity, following through on every commitment, and taking every step necessary to ensure our total satisfaction, even when we encountered a few bumps along the way. I can, without hesitation, recommend Eric to anyone looking for that perfect property.” ~ Kenneth D. and Joyce J. Wilcox Half Moon Bay, California
“Best I’ve Seen”
Eric, Your work is easily the best I have seen, without any doubt. Keep in mind that I have worked in the real estate business selling here in Kona Hawaii where big deals are over $10,000,000 for a home and nothing was ever done with the class that you have presented our property. Great care and determination are definitely your strong suits. Great work, well done. As a real estate professional, clearly there is nothing I could add to perfect the product you have presented. We are proud to have you on our team and look forward to years of fishing stories. Keep your eye on the fish.” ~ Keith Marlowe Punta Gorda, Florida
“Knowledgeable & Diligent”
I buy and sell a lot of real estate. Eric West is without question the most knowledgeable and diligent agent I have ever dealt with. From the website he built to showcase our property to closing the deal he was meticulous in every detail and fact. Not only did he sell our property for more than we expected, it happened quickly and effortlessly on our part. I would definitely use Eric again. Thanks, Eric.” ~ Dennis & Sylvia DeVries, Arizona
“Award Well Deserved”
Eric, Congratulations on your Cabela’s Trophy Properties National “Excellence in Customer Service” award. It is well deserved. You have certainly done a good job marketing our place. We have had more showings since you took over than we had with all other realtors combined!” ~ Bill & Cheryl Keelan Nebraska
“Highest Level of Integrity”
Having been a licensed general contractor and a real estate broker for over 35 years, I have been very pleased to do business with Eric West. I have seen Eric work to maintain the highest levels of integrity, honesty, and diligence in every aspect of his work. Eric has proven to be sensitive to my desires, and has always proven to have my best interests as his motivation. It’s just not that often these days that one can find someone involved in sales, that as a practice puts clients first and the sale second. Eric always considers the best options for the client before he thinks about getting the sale closed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend using Eric’s services for any real estate transaction. Both buyers and sellers will benefit from his bright, friendly personality and high quality work ethics. It is a real pleasure to work with a broker who puts honesty and integrity first in his business. It is also obvious that he REALLY loves what he does. That sort of business practice gets transactions completed legally, quickly, and with minimal problems, every time. Thanks again Eric for your good work on my behalf.” ~ Jon Ewell, Colorado Springs
“Friendly and Efficient”
We have found Eric to be very efficient and friendly in all his business dealings. He took great pictures and did a very detailed video of our home. He did a superb job! When we had questions, and called, he would reply as quickly as possible. We enjoyed our time with Eric and would highly recommend him to others who are looking for a realtor to represent them.” ~ Jack and Donna Osborne Westcliffe, CO
“Quick Sale!”
I just wanted to thank you for the great job you did selling my property. I had my property listed with another local realtor for three years with only one low-ball offer. After you met me and looked at the property you had it sold in less than 32 days! Thanks again!” ~ Stan Babnik Anchorage, Alaska
“Outstanding Experience”
Our experience with Eric West proved to be outstanding. My wife and I fully expected our remote ranch retreat to be on the market for at least two years or more. The day Eric placed the sign on the property he had also arranged a visit from a prospective client. It was this first client that bought the property and at the expected price! The use of the web provided for a very wide marketing scenario and in fact we continued to generate interest in the property from all over the country on an everyday basis even after it was sold. I highly recommend Eric for any real estate that you may wish to sell and you can be assured that he will provide all that you expect and more!” ~ Ray and Milly Reed Evergreen, CO
“Needle In The Haystack”
Eric West has our listing for a highly unique property. Our dilemma was finding the right broker. Obviously, not the usual resort realtor and their approach would do. We actually heard of Eric by word of mouth before even knowing he existed. After checking him out we knew we were on the right track to success. We needed a modern, tech-savvy, truck-driving sportsman, recreationalist cowboy who could text and dial the GPS while climbing a cliff-hanging jeep trail. I don’t hesitate recommending Eric West.” ~ Dean Moffatt – Aspen, Colorado Sundesigns Architects, PC
“Expertise and Attention to Detail”
Having traveled extensively for the last 15 years, we have been dreaming of owning property here. Interesting story, as in all our travels through the state we had always come back to desiring property in THIS valley, THIS community, but never thought it possible. Last July while vacationing here we noticed the a sign advertising what would become our family’s dream property. We were on deadline with one day left before returning home, and that evening made a campfire telephone call to Eric West. We explained we were leaving later the next day, and even though Eric was traveling, he arranged for us to be able to see the property. As we pursued this rather complex (and sizable) purchase, we began to really appreciate Eric’s expertise and attention to detail. He never failed to respond to our questions quickly, with not only accurate information, but personal input and suggestions that made the purchase possible. Having owned and operated a large retail store for 30+ years, I understand how rare a person like Eric is. Since the sale, he has continued to assist us in promoting the new venture...for free I might add. I consider him both a friend and a consummate professional. If you’re looking for a dream property...Eric’s your man. Thanks, Eric. Couldn’t have done it without you.”~ Richard Johnson & Shawnna Johnson Keakuk, Iowa
“Choose a job you Love”
A philosopher once said “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” That exact thought hit me when I first met Eric West. The love of the outdoors and the passion Eric has for this beloved state was all I needed to convince me that he was the man to sell my property. As we toured my property, I could tell the feeling he had towards the property was the exact same feeling I had when I first saw the property. Eric also came to me with references, from a close friend of mine, who Eric represented in the sale of his property as well. To date, Eric has been responsive to all my thoughts and ideas and our relationship is one that I would consider to be of a friend as well as a person who I can rely on to represent my property in the utmost professional manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone who would want to list or buy a property”.~ Raymond & Tammy McElhaney Broadmoor, Colorado
“Knowledge and Experience”
Our real estate dealings with Eric West have been outstanding. His overall knowledge of real estate and his experience in structuring deals that work provide a big advantage. Perhaps the greatest asset of all is his ability to reach the appropriate markets for each property with information that is factual, informative, and attractively presented. When you are looking for success, it is best to deal with a real professional.” ~ Dale Lasater Managing Partner The Lasater Ranch
“Place of our Dreams”
It was about a year ago that I first met Eric West. My wife and I were looking for a retirement home when we came upon one of his listings and we quickly noted the place of our dreams. Working with Eric made the process really quite simple, and within just a few months, we have sold our home and bought our dream. Eric has stayed in touch with us over the past year, and more than a real estate broker, we think of him as a friend. To all of you reading this--I’m really serious that our experience was a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. I’ll never move from this place, but I keep looking at the web site, being inspired by the beauty of God’s creation! Here’s hoping you all find your dream place like we did.” ~ Tom & Myra Westfall
“Modern Approach to Selling Real Estate”
Thank You for the finest program established for selling Properties! It was my family’s pleasure to have had the opportunity to work with Eric West. Eric’s knowledge of properties here made it possible to sell our property in a short time at a price still being talked about in the area. Eric’s sincerity and professionalism made each get-together an event that I truly looked forward to. Eric took the time to get to know my property and its special attributes, then provided an academy award performance on your site that made many outdoor enthusiasts look into the local area because of the truly spectacular hunting. Thanks again for your modern approach to selling real estate via the Internet and providing a name that leaves no doubt to the quality of service or, in this case, property…The Drop Tine Ranch.” ~ Edmund & Dawn Vallee

“Brings His “A” Game Everyday”
I love Eric West. Eric gets up early, prepares for each day as if it was his first day on the job. I trust Eric implicitly. Eric sets high goals for his life and his family, and understands that helping his clients getting what they really want in turn helps him get the same. I was the President/CEO of a growing mortgage company at the time I met Eric West. He had a positive impact on our company, our culture, and our success. He is one of the few people I have maintained a friendship with out of almost 100 Employees. He is a family man, an outdoorsman, and genuinely cares about the happiness of those in his life. I would recommend Eric to any potential client, employer, partner, investor, or anyone that wants to work along side someone who passionately brings his A Game each and every day.”~ Darek Spring
