Testimonials
Todd Pasternak
We purchased our 1031 exchange condo in Mountain Village in one of the most competitive markets Telluride has ever seen. Iva walked us through the process of purchasing in a sellers’ market allowing us to feel 100% comfortable. Once we honed in on the ideal building, she found us a premium unit located steps from the ski run before it hit the market! Simply put, Iva always had our best interest in mind, and we never felt pressured to buy. She made the negotiating and contract process a breeze and because of our trust in her everything was totally stress free. Her professionalism and expertise are second to none. I would recommend Iva to anyone who is looking to buy or sell real estate in Telluride.

From the moment I started working with Iva, I could tell that she possessed an incredible depth of knowledge about the local real estate market. Her expertise was evident as she guided me through the entire process, making it feel effortless even though I never laid eyes on the property in person. Despite the physical distance, she went above and beyond to show me multiple properties via FaceTime and video, ensuring that I had a clear understanding of each one. Her insightful advice and guidance were instrumental in helping me make informed decisions, ultimately leading me to the ideal condo.
One of the standout qualities of Iva was her ability to negotiate an exceptional price for the property. With her expert negotiation skills, she secured a great deal that surpassed my expectations. Not only that, but she also connected me with a lender who managed to secure a loan with a rate 1% lower than any other options available. It was a testament to her resourcefulness and dedication to securing the best possible outcome for her clients.
Throughout the entire process, Iva was an unwavering source of support. She meticulously managed all the inspection items, ensuring that every detail was addressed and resolved. Her thoroughness and attention to detail gave me peace of mind, as I could trust that nothing was overlooked. Iva even went the extra mile to document everything, providing me with transparent and comprehensive records of the property’s condition.
Iva’s proactive approach and constant communication were invaluable. She stayed on top of every aspect of the transaction, keeping me informed at all times. If you are looking for a real estate agent who will go above and beyond to exceed your expectations, Iva is the one to choose.

As a first-time home buyer, I was both excited and nervous about navigating the process. Iva was a lifesaver! She fought tooth and nail on my behalf, and I couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated and passionate advocate.
She thoroughly answered all my questions and provided valuable insights that helped me make informed decisions throughout the process. Her depth of understanding about the real estate market was impressive, and I felt confident relying on her expertise. Aside from her professional skills, Iva was also incredibly personable and easy to work with. She was approachable, patient, and made me feel comfortable discussing any concerns or uncertainties I had. It’s not every day that you come across someone who combines professionalism with a warm and friendly demeanor, but all this and more comes so effortlessly to Iva. I highly recommend her to any (first-time) home buyer out there!
