Telluride Real Estate Agents - Shimkonis Partners - Telluride, Colorado

I can't recommend Asa and his team highly enough. Everywhere we went, we ran into people who were happy to see him, it was very clear to me that he has a great reputation in town. His local expertise was very helpful in navigating a variety of different properties as we were sorting out our own thoughts.

When we started making offers and entering negotiations, the whole team was really on top of it. They handled some last minute requests and curveballs with really quick turnarounds and made the entire buying process very easy.

Asa did a great job guiding us through the buying process. He was calm, caring, and professional. I would highly recommend using him if you are considering buying or selling real estate in Telluride, Ridgway or the surrounding area. Asa was wealth of knowledge and knew the area and the market conditions. We love our new house, thanks again to everyone involved who made it possible.

I have just finished working with Shimmy and his team for the 3rd time in Telluride, and every time has been a pleasure! Shimkonis Partners has been detail oriented, friendly, communicative and easily available for any questions every time! I would always opt to work with them every time I needed a broker in Telluride.

Sept 2024 Update:

This is an update to my original review from the summer of 2022. Asa has now represented us in three different transactions — two on the buy side and one on the sell side.

I cannot recommend Asa highly enough. His expertise, dedication, and unwavering commitment to his clients have earned my trust for life in the Telluride area. He is a consummate professional.

Original July 2022 review:

Asa was great to work with. It only takes a few minutes of walking with him around town to realize everyone knows him, and that certainly came in handy for our situation.

We had several unexpected twists and turns on our deal (none of which were Asa’s fault). Each time something came up, Asa was ready with a connection, referral, or proposed solution to solve it.

If you are looking for a Telluride broker who is truly “in the know”, will always look out for your interests, and will stop at nothing to help you, Asa is your guy.

We love working with Shimmy! His help was comprehensive and his connections extensive, including introducing us to real estate brokers in several other markets around Colorado when we were considering our options in other ski towns.
He was nimble in pivoting to getting one of our properties listed and marketing ramped up and then kindly removing the listing from the market, even after he was able to obtain a strong offer shortly before we had a change of plans.

He expertly navigated us through potential peril with one of our transactions. We felt very well taken care of and like he was really looking out for our best interest financially.

He threw us a creative curveball after listening to our needs, one that resulted in us unexpectedly purchasing a perfect property.

This is our second transaction with Shimmy. If you want a patient and connected specialist who knows the market and listens to your needs, give him a call. We're glad we did!

Asa Van Gelder was very helpful to my wife and me in finding a condo in Telluride. He knows the market and the town very well. Also, he carefully listened to us and was very attentive to what we wanted. He showed us a number of condos over a period of time and understood what we liked and didn't like about each unit. He was always professional and helpful. We recommend him highly.

Great experience working with Asa Van Gelder and the team at Shimkonis Partners on a recent purchase! Asa was very helpful finding the right property and guiding us through the transaction. His communication throughout the process was excellent and really helped us stay ahead of any potential issues. Asa has extensive knowledge of and experience with the area while providing an exceptional level of service. I highly recommend Asa to anyone looking to buy or sell in Telluride and would not hesitate to work with him again.

We clearly made the right decision in choosing Mike Shimkonis and his team for the sale of our home. From the initial meeting to the final closing Mike and Candice were professional, conscientious, attentive to detail , always readily available, and respectful of our concerns and property. They did an outstanding job. The Shimkonis Team set a high standard of excellence in the field of residential real estate.
