When it came time to sell our home in Durango, CO after 13 years, we were concerned because the…read moretrusted realtor and friend who helped us acquire it had retired. We asked her who she would recommend we use, and she strongly recommended Lauren Ammerman at the Wells Group of Durango. Now we do too. Lauren proved herself throughout a complex but ultimately successful transaction that required equal measures of psychology, sensitivity, patience, responsiveness, and follow-through on top of the requisite professional experience. She shepherded our unusual sale with care and competence and brought it to fruition even though there seemed to be little chance of success initially. In addition, Lauren went above and beyond, addressing our issues even while on vacation and ensuring that a couple of items that did not go with the sale reached us safely many states away. Durango, CO is a lovely, active community, so no surprise that it has a vigorous real estate market. In our experience, you can't do better than to have Lauren Ammerman represent you in that market! https://www.wellsgroupdurango.com/agents/80618-lauren-ammerman

Christina is hands down the best realtor I have ever worked with. We lived about 6 hours away and…read morecame down to Durango on a whim to check out a house we were interested in buying. We called her based on her superb reviews and on short notice, we were able to meet with her to check out a house we were interested in the next day. She was already familiar with the property and knew helpful details about the property, such as why the previous contract fell through. When we decided it was not the right property for us, she came to us with another property that was not even on the market yet. Needless to say, this was our dream property and we were able to land it at a competitive price before it even went on the market thanks to Christina's connections and determination to find her clients the perfect property. Christina offers an extremely friendly and low pressure approach, while at the same time shrewdly negotiating on behalf of her clients. Since we were new to Durango, she took the time to tell us about the various businesses and amenities around town and near our new property, and is still providing us recommendations even after we closed on our house. Working with Christina feels like working with a friend who genuinely cares about your best interests and getting you your dream house. Since we were selling a house in another town, we had to go with another realtor as our selling agent who ended up being a very poor negotiator and difficult to work with. Christina was willing to discuss the challenges and concerns regarding this other agent and provide great guidance that not only helped calm me but also gave me negotiating tips that I was able to bring back to my selling agent. When our buyers were threatening to back out of the deal, Christina suggested that I provide a justification and list of comps showing the value they were getting from our home. I did that and truly believe it was critical in convincing the buyers to keep the contract. All this for a house she wasn't even representing. In what can be an incredibly confusing and stressful process of home buying, Christina is able to make it as smooth and easy as possible with her vast experience and market knowledge, willingness to answer questions and overall kindness. She is an amazing person and you will not regret choosing Christina as your realtor!

I worked with AREM property management company for over two years…read moreas a board member of Copperhead Camp HOA. AREM has integrity and follows the strict regulations set up by the state to protect HOA's. The office is conveniently located in town with an actual person out front to assist you if you prefer to make payments in person. I would use AREM as my property management company if I ever need such a service.

Extreme Negligence and an Absolutely Horrible Experience…read more If I could give AREM Property Management zero stars, I would. My experience with AREM was not simply a case of poor customer service or a maintenance request taking too long. I spent approximately eight months living in an apartment with serious mold and water-related problems that were not adequately addressed, while having nowhere else to go and no financial means to simply move out. My father and I were essentially stuck living in those conditions because we had no alternative. There were repeated problems with water intrusion and attempts at remediation, yet the underlying issues continued. At one point, the bathroom ceiling leaked again despite previous attempts to address the problem. I documented the conditions, communicated with management, and repeatedly tried to get the situation taken seriously. Instead of being able to simply leave an unsafe living environment, I had to continue paying rent and living there because I could not afford to relocate. Imagine knowing there are serious problems with the place you're living in, wanting desperately to get out, and realizing you literally have nowhere else to go. That is what this situation became. I spent significant amounts of my own money on testing, documentation, temporary solutions, and trying to establish evidence of what was happening. I spent countless hours communicating with management and trying to get the situation resolved. Eventually, I had to seek outside legal assistance just to get help dealing with the situation and obtaining a release from my lease without penalty. And even after everything that happened, I was left dealing with the financial consequences of having paid rent for approximately eight months while living in conditions I believe should never have been allowed to continue. This wasn't a minor maintenance issue. This wasn't a situation where I simply didn't like the way management handled a repair. My father and I were left living in poor conditions for months because we had no practical means of escaping the situation. A property management company has a fundamental responsibility to maintain safe, habitable housing and to respond appropriately when serious water and mold problems are reported. In my experience, AREM failed to meet that responsibility. I have documentation supporting my experience, including photographs, videos, communications, testing records, remediation documentation, and financial records. The most upsetting part is that this could have been handled differently. Problems can happen in any building. What matters is how management responds when those problems become serious. In my experience, AREM's response left my father and me dealing with the consequences for months. I would strongly advise prospective tenants to thoroughly research AREM and specifically ask how they handle serious mold, water intrusion, habitability issues, tenant displacement or inability to relocate, and reimbursement for rent paid during periods when a property cannot reasonably be considered habitable. One star is generous.
