“Over the years my wife and I bought and sold 7 residential properties as we pursued a professional career and a comfortable retirement. So I believe I can rate real estate agents with some authority.

We had the good fortune of a neighbor recommending Chris LaMee of Banyan Real Estate to be our Real Estate Professional.

My family and I found Chris to be very professional & with integrity from beginning to the end of our sales transaction. He consulted with us on sales strategies that ultimately lead to a successful & timely sale. His Market Analysis was on target and met our goals. We had the house inspected by a professional and corrected several deficiencies and proceeded to stage the house to focus on the best features such as the kitchen, great room, bedrooms, views, and location. Chris then brought in a professional photographer who spent 4 hours taking pictures as the sun set to post on the internet.

Our house was on the market for approximately 2 weeks before we had a sales contract. The buyers found the house from Chris’ online marketing efforts. The house was sold just below asking price by only a few percentage points.

I highly recommend Chris for his outstanding job in this most difficult market. His integrity and professionalism carried the day for me.

“Kathleen Staker and the team at Banyan Real Estate made the purchase of our first home such a positive experience. Despite completing most of the transaction while living on the other side of the country, Kathleen tirelessly represented our interests and helped ensure that the details were in place for closing. We were so appreciative of the professionalism and responsiveness of Kathleen and the entire team. We had less than one month between signing the contract and closing, and we were amazed that so many details came together in such a short period of time. We have been whole-heartedly recommending Kathleen and Banyan to family and friends and will continue doing so. Thank you to the entire team for all your hardwork!”

“Great Transaction! Chris was very patient and was very good at staying in communication. Best realtor we?ve ever worked with. Fully electronic transaction a huge bonus! Very efficient. Escrow was also easy.”

“We received top notch customer service, constant and clear communication, technology savvy transactions, and the team is friendly & fun to work with! Wilson knows how to negotiate all of the complex and treacherous terrain of real estate transactions these days and has an excellent support staff to back him up!!! I?ve never been more impressed with a company & agent as I was with Banyan Real Estate & Wilson Leonard. This is the only way to buy real estate, bar none!!!! “

“Our experience with Chris LaMee was outstanding. We were complete neophites in the world of commercial real estate. He treated our countless anxieties and questions about our relatively small purchase with speed, efficiency and honesty. We’re not high-rollers, but he worked as hard for us as he would have for someone buying a much larger property.”

“Beth and I wanted to send this letter to express our enthusiastic thanks for your professional services to market our property.

Unfortunately we purchased the house in mid-2007 at the peak and only several months before the bottom dropped out of the housing market in 2008. You can understand our frustrations and concerns attempting to sell it initially with another agency for almost a year before soliciting your assistance. Not only did you keep the price at a level that we felt it was worth, but your thorough marketing plan to expose this property to a wider potential buyer group and incorporate unique marketing ideas was obviously the catalyst to produce a very positive purchase offer in a few short months.

And, you didn’t stop there. Having relocated to another state, your thorough communication and guidance through the closing process made the experience very enjoyable, especially with the confidence we had already developed in your professional skills. You truly took a serious financial burden off our minds, and we are both grateful for that. Please forward our personal thanks to your excellent Closing Manager, Dianne Johnson.

We just wanted to personally express our appreciation for your advice, your consistent effort, and the results you produced for us. Feel free to add our strong recommendation to your growing list of referrals from your satisfied clients. Thanks Chris.

“Chris LaMee and his team at Banyan Real Estate provided me with excellent service on my recent search for a home from initial discussions through closing. They were always attentive and professional, and made my interests top priority in all endeavors. Chris did a fantastic job in tailoring this property search for my specific needs by continually modifying our approach per my feedback after viewings. I could count on him to pre-screen candidates and only show me those options that matched my criteria. Additionally, Chris brings to the table a wealth of experience in real estate and made sure we only viewed candidates that would be good buys from an investment perspective. My career takes up a significant portion of my life and this approach ensured that my valuable time was always well spent. I highly recommend Chris LaMee and his team at Banyan and would use them again.”

“Not knowing where exactly we wanted to live, our house search ended up spanning 50 miles. Cassia took us to see so many houses and kept us excited for each one. She is a very positive person and is very dedicated to making sure that each person finds the house that’s meant for them.”

“Cassia made our first-time-home buying experience as good as it could be. She helped us craft an offer that beat out two other buyers, willingly schlepped paperwork across the Front Range as needed, and provided moral support above and beyond the call of duty. Professional, experienced, and yet full of heart, Cassia is always my first recommendation when I meet someone looking for a new home.”

“Cassia Baranello was a very helpful real estate agent. She was respectful of our budget & knowledgeable about the area & market trends. She also kept cool under pressure when things took an unexpected turn & helped us bounce back quickly to stay in our time constraints. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house. We love our new home & neighborhood. Thanks, Cassia!”
