The process was seamless and easy. We were always kept in the loop throughout. We primarily worked with Dean. He was professional, knowledgeable and great to work with. We are very pleased.

This was the second property we have worked with Dean on; he did a great job steering us through the process and made it easy. Thanks Dean! Jack Temple

Dean was wonderful to work with. He is so kind and knowledgeable. Very easy going and not pushy at all. Gives advice and suggestions. He is just an all around stand up guy. We would highly recommend working with him.

We were absolutely thrilled with the representation of Dean Laird during the purchase of our new home. We were newcomers to Colorado and Steamboat Springs, so we had to deal with the complexity of negotiating the purchase from out-of-state. Dean understood our needs, helped us locate the right home and area, and accommodated us throughout the process. Dean was extremely responsive, thorough and proactive and made himself highly available for calls and visits as needed, often on short notice. Dean is highly knowledgeable about the local and regional housing markets and the various regulatory and legal hurdles that factor into a home purchase. Dean also put us in touch with contractors and other service providers to address concerns during purchase negotiation and to make the house ready after we completed the sale.  Dean also adds a profound knowledge of the building industry.  His understanding of engineering, smart systems, building processes and materials was very valuable. Buying in Colorado for the first time was an education process and he guided us the entire way.  Dean was fantastic throughout the process. We would have no hesitation using Dean again for our next home sale or purchase. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. Elizabeth Connolly and Mark Menne

I’ve known Dean for over 15 years. I purchased 5 pieces of land with his help in 2006. He couldn’t have been more helpful, flexible and astute in buying those pieces of land then, as well as eventually helping me sell them all this summer. In Spring of 2022 I needed to sell all 5, as I was in a tight spot financially. Not only did Dean meet the goal of selling all 5 lots by summers end-he strategically placed each lot for sale in a way that gave me breathing room to wait out the best offers. I never doubted his judgment and it really paid off. I ended up getting much more for my land than anticipated. He always kept me in the loop and offered sound advice. If there was ever a time I needed someone I could trust to look out for my best interest-it was this past summer. Dean isn’t just an excellent realtor-he’s an all around down to earth, genuine person who will hustle for you-no matter if you’re buying big or selling small-as I was-he treats you like a good friend would. That’s invaluable peace of mind.

Exceptional communication and work to maximize profit. Extremely knowledgeable about the market. Great personality and a down to earth person. Very quick response time for any questions or advice. Puts in the leg work to provide you with options to fit your needs. Overall best realtor in the area.

I met Dean years ago as I was beginning my journey to find the right land for me in Steamboat to build a house. I literally took 4 years, had an offer written up, backed out, lost other lots as I navigated my decision making process until I was finally ready and comfortable. Dean was awesome through the entire process. He was a patient, trusted advisor who put my needs first and when I finally found the lot I wanted, Dean made sure every single detail was addressed. Dean was a great partner through the years and I absolutely recommend him for anyone who wants the best!

Dean was easy to work with and did a great job for us.

Totally honest, always follows through, always available for questions and his opinion, easy to communicate with, never skips over an out reach

We were priced out of Steamboat Springs, so Dean suggested we may want to look in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Not only did he know the area well, he knew Colorado since he was born and raised in the state. We used Dean's guidance for a FSBO we found and he put forth in the effort to see the sale through by lining up a title closing company and reviewing contracts for us. The investment on the golf course has been great, so if Steamboat isn't a fit, I'd trust Dean's advice for any Colorado property.
