Prudential Steamboat Realty

Testimonials

My husband and I talked to three other agents before we agreed to work with Charlie. Although the other agents seemed capable, Charlie showed us a sense of confidence and honesty that the others lacked. Charlie really sold us on his services when he talked about taking professional photographs of our home and featuring them both in print and on his inviting website, steamboatsmyhome.com.
Even in a down real estate market, Charlie made good on our impressions of him. He was honest about the condition of the market, recommended asking price, market strategies, and market activity. Although we knew that selling our home in a down market would be difficult – even emotional, Charlie remained confident, reassuring and positive.
Charlie also made continual efforts to keep us informed of market activity via email and phone. He let us know what properties were selling in our community, the number of hits on our property’s website, and all other pertinent market activity.
Charlie even worked with the local newspaper, convincing the real estate reporter that our home was something special. A feature story on our home appeared on the front page of the real estate section that following Sunday.
But what made the real difference in selling our home were Charlie’s beautiful photographs. His artful eye captured the unique craftsman nature of our home, and even had us amazed at how great he made it look. His photo of our house at night expressed exactly what we knew buyers would want: warmth, comfort, beauty and charm.
When we received an offer on our home, Charlie carefully guided us thorough the critical counteroffer-contract-closing process with expertise. We were so grateful to have Charlie on our side during this nerve-wracking time.
Steve and I recommend Charlie with the utmost enthusiasm. He made the seemingly impossible act of selling our custom home for a decent price in a down market a reality. And he did it with honesty, confidence, professionalism and those incredible photographs!

Charlie is by far the most effective and personable realtor I’ve ever worked with. He did a wonderful job of working with me from thousands of mile away. Even though I technically bought my place sight unseen, he sent me so many great videos and pictures that when I walked in my new vacation home, I knew every inch and didn’t feel it was my first time there. In a challenging, multi-bidder situation, he handled the transaction masterfully and, happily, successfully! He kept his eye on the ball and helped me do the same. If you are looking for a realtor, you cannot do better than Charlie!

Charlie has been fantastic in all of my real estate transactions in Steamboat. He is very professional, personable, and exceptionally dedicated to his clients. He went above and beyond to help me understand all documents, was present at all inspections, and knows construction very well. I felt very safe knowing I had such a dedicated, intelligent and proactive agent to help me make two major decisions that have been terrific choices for me. I love me house and wouldn’t be in it today if it weren’t for his efforts and expertise.

In 2007 we contacted Charlie Dresen to help us find a new home. The home we found, was already under construction, but in the earlier phases. As a result there were many decisions left to be resolved in several areas. Since we were trying to accomplish this from a great distance away, we trusted Charlie to help with the details. As with any large project there were also several people that coordinated on the project. Those being the subcontractors, builders, and decorator. Charlie was a critical player with his attention to detail, ability to problem solve, resolve conflicts with our builder, and keep a photo journal of the entire process. His professionalism and honesty throughout were above and beyond any other realtor we have dealt with over the last 35 years in many parts of the country.Our experience was so positive with Charlie, that we put another one of our properties on the market. We are confident that with his guidance it will soon be sold. We are also pleased to call Charlie and his family friends and hope to be for a very long time.

We were very appreciative of Charlie’s outstanding professionalism and creativity as our realtor. The flyers and video he did of our home were unique and beautiful, and we believe they were key in selling in a difficult market. Charlie’s artistic eye for detail captured the essence of our home which we had just remodeled, and we were very pleased with the results. Charlie presented and carried out an extensive marketing plan, which included the flyers, video, his website, listings in publications, and open houses – and really working with us. He remained positive and professional throughout the listing and sale to all parties concerned – nice to work with! We would highly recommend Charlie Dresen as a Steamboat realtor!

Charlie has represented us as both buyers and sellers and he was excellent at both. He helped us to find our perfect second home in Steamboat Springs in an area that we love. He knows Steamboat very well and showed us many different types of properties and neighborhoods in our price range. We were very confident in our final choice and have never regretted it. When we decided to put our home on the market because of a potential move he staged it and photographed it and it looked the best it has ever looked. Charlie is thorough and pays attention to every single detail.

When I chose to put my townhouse on the market in Steamboat Springs I knew that the key to selling my place was in the realtor I chose. This town is inundated with realtors as well as houses on the market. I was looking for someone who could add something special to the process; someone who could make my townhouse stand out amongst the other 13 in my area that were listed. Some friends referred Charlie Dresen to me and the detail that I felt Charlie brought to the table that others did now was his photography skills and passion for making the website look fantastic! When he came in to photograph my place it looked like he was doing a professional shoot with all the additional lighting tools and such. My house showed so well based on that simple detail. In an economic climate where prices were falling and more and more homes were being put on the market, I continuously felt like I had the upper hand. The process of selling my place was, of course, more challenging in the current economy, especially in Steamboat, but Charlie never wavered, he was sure we’d have a sale and I believe he consistently supported me and my emotions during the process. I was kept up to date with all the market research, He would connect with me when he felt we should lower the price, he was open to my concerns and always guided the process in a way that I needed. I trusted he was the professional and really allowed him that. I got a very good price for my townhouse in the midst of so many other units underbidding me by up to $50,000. Charlie remained confident that our price would sell and he was right!!! It was a wonderful experience working with Charlie Dresen, I will most certainly refer him in the future.
