-Jackson Emmer
 

"I love our real estate agent. The first week we moved in she provided awesome dinners and moral support everyday. She only had our best interest in hand through the entire transaction. Now a month later she swept us off our feet for a phenomenal Saturday night dinner with all family members included. Thanks Sally Shiekman for going above and beyond as you always do. You are not just a great realtor but a caring, smart, and on the ball agent. By the way she was also just voted the best female real estate agent in the Aspen Valley area. Thanks Sally!"
-Whitson Alexander Smith

"Sally and her team were such a pleasure to work with. When deciding to sell our home, she gave some excellent advice on what we could do to improve how it shows without any pressure to do so. She’s a realist who tells it as it is and we very much appreciated that. She gave great advice when we asked for it, and led us to a surprise free closing on a timeline that worked best for us. If we are back in the roaring fork valley again, Sally will be our first call!"
-Josh Meyer

"Sally brokered both sides of our first home purchase this last fall. We felt that Sally always had our best interest in mind, carefully and thoughtfully explained the unknown to us (as novices) and took the time to help make this monumental life moment easy for us. Furthermore, her services didn't stop after we closed, she still checks in to ensure we are comfortable and settled in. She is a wonderful resource to connect with regardless of your home purchase needs. We are forever thankful the Sally Shiekman was our real estate agent and in our corner, thank you!!!"
-Brooke Benton

"Sally was extraordinarily helpful. I had a limited amount of time and she was well organized, knew the property market well and prepared me well in advance of my visit. She's an excellent negotiator and importantly, also a very nice person. I highly recommend her for your real estate needs!"
-Kathleen Barchick

"Sally Shiekman is an exceptional realtor. I bought my house from her 12+ years ago when I was recovering from a major surgery. She walked me through the entire process. I felt a strong loyalty to her, in addition to really liking her as a friend, so I listed my house with her and it just closed. Perseverance and kindness. Thank you Sally! There’s a reason you’re the best!"
-Kim Bracher

"Sally was so good to work with during our entire home buying process. We know we took a lot of her time getting to know the market and what was available. I can't say enough good things about her and her interactions with us. Her communication was so very helpful, and she always followed up. She either responded immediately to calls, texts, and emails or let us know when she could get back to us. We highly recommend using Sally."
-Dave Shinneman

"Sally is a consummate professional who knows her market and takes great pride in being thorough, direct, and positive. I was particularly impressed with her ability to balance patience with execution, given the property we were selling was quite old. I also appreciated the frankness around expectations, and I am sure that pace of closure for our sale agreement in a matter of days, was due to her. If you want to best, she is it."
-Buck Byrum

"Sally has helped us with over 5 real estate transactions over the years, and I can't recommend her enough. She is so knowledgeable and professional and puts up with our maddening indecision and repeated direction changes. She always works incredibly hard for us to either find a buyer or close the deal, and we couldn't ask for better service!"
-Kimi Mischke

"What a pleasure it was working with Sally. She was with us every step of the way. Being out of state she made it a point to check in with us every week if not more. She responded immediately to our texts or phone calls. Her knowledge and expertise made the process from start to finish smooth and easy. We would definately recommend Sally!"
-Marla Mayer

"My wife Annabel and I recently relocated to Aspen.

Before we were ready to buy we needed to rent. Sally Shiekman took the time to understand what we were looking for. Few realtors had interest in helping us find a rental, but Sally found us our first home. When we started looking for a house to buy, we turned to Sally again and received the same professionalism, supportive attitude and results.

Some brokers would have moved on to others who were spending more than we could, or wasted time trying to sell us something we couldn’t afford. Not Sally. She showed us the limited inventory in our price range, and then really went to work. Sally uncovered the perfect home, not yet on the market, a home that met all our needs for space, price, location and timing.


If you want to work with a realtor who really listens and understands your needs, you must call Sally Shiekman."
-Phil Golden

“I want to thank you for all the work you did to sell my Aspen condo. Now that I have worked with you as a buyer and a seller, I am definitely impressed with your professionalism. I know that you are busy, but you are very organized and thorough so that your clients get excellent service. I think the hardest part of any real estate deal is negotiating a contract and getting that contract to closing. I appreciate you helping me get a full price contract with only minor contingencies, and then following each deadline so that nothing fell through the cracks.”
-Betty Hoye

Dan & Judi Smith
I received your gift card, and want to express my appreciation. Quite a nice surprise! Also to acknowledge all your help with our transactions and rentals over the past few years. It turns out that, directly and including the new Tahoe home, you were involved with five different properties we have had owned over the years. (And you have seen Owl Meadows as well, making six.) Which is quite a few for small time investors. You got us out of the properties we needed to get out of, and into one that was just fine for as long as we needed it. Then out again, as we moved on. We hope to see you on our next Aspen visit. And we will toast you at Valenti’s!
Tom & Jan Restaino
