My wife and I have sold and purchased a number of properties through Bill for over 20 years. We wouldn't use anyone else. He is always knowledgeable about the local market and what price an individual property should be listed for. He is very adept at guiding his clients through the complex process of selling and buying real estate and is always respectful even when something in the process is difficult.
Bill is very well known in the valley. He and his team provide excellent guidance and service. I couldn't imagine our sale going any more smoothly.
Bill made my first time home buying experience smooth, easy and enjoyable. Bill was fast to respond to any questions I had and always made sure I was updated with the progress of the sale. Bill will always be my first choice as a realtor, and he should be your first choice too. You will certainly be glad you chose to work with him.
Bill Lockett guided me through the process of selling my home in a tough market. He is a professional realtor who has great relationships with other realtors in the area and is highly respected among his peers. He and his team worked hard to price, advertise, and market my home in a way that some other realtors may not have been able to do. Chief among his attributes is a genuine concern for his clients. He takes into consideration client needs and life situations that help to determine a market strategy and home value. He is a true professional that I am proud to call a friend. -Tom Rollings
Bill has helped us buy and sell several houses. Every time we have worked with Bill has been an excellent experience. Bill is extremely knowledgeable about the housing market and area. Bill goes the extra mile to help you out.
If I could give Bill 6 out of 5 Stars I would! He went above and beyond and was very kind and professional. He is very trustworthy and made us feel at ease through the entire process. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor. You will be well taken care of.
Bill is very professional, personable and easy to be around. His knowledge of the market is thorough and he is a very competent and confident realtor. Bill marketed our property like the pro he is, gave us sound advice and got us through closing with ease. We could not have asked for more in a realtor. We highly recommend Bill.
Love working with Bill. We were well informed of all the necessary steps and surprises that arise throughout the process. Very professional and knowledgeable. Will definitely continue working with Bill for all of our real estate needs in the future!
"You are in good hands” is what a local businessman said to me when I told him what agent was helping me in my search for a home. That businessman was totally correct. Bill proved to be knowledgeable about the region’s market value, stood fast on ethical principles, and always immediately responded to our questions and concerns. The first house we walked through we considered making an offer. Bill was alert and noticed a major misrepresentation of the square footage. He handled the situation professionally and gave us wise guidance. As it turned out, we found another home that was much better suited to our needs. From making an offer on our future home all the way to the closing, Bill was cheerful and obliging. Several times he met me at the house so I could meet with remodeling contractors and the inspector. Even though Bill is a busy realtor due to his stellar reputation, he gave us his full attention. His office also provided us with a useful, detailed list of due dates and obligations. In an extremely competitive market it was a blessing to work with an experienced, trustworthy, and professional agent.
I bought a piece of land a few years ago and unexpectedly wanted to sell it this year. Without a doubt, I knew Bill was my "go to" realtor. With a knowledgeable assessment of the comparable lots, he gave me a price range. He also indicated that land was not moving quickly because of the increase of interest rates; however, when I told him I wanted to set the price a bit higher than the highest end of the range, he supported my decision. The posting showed the beautiful views of the Collegiate Range from the lot. Imagine our surprise and delight when, after less than two weeks, he called saying he had received a full price, cash offer. We were both delighted. Bill helped shepherd me through the closing process and informed me of the current hazards regarding fraud and how it is affecting real estate transactions. He made sure I was sending and receiving emails through a secure network that the title company uses. One of the perks of working with Collegiate Peaks Realty is that the lines of communication are always open. If I called or texted Bill or his office, the calls were always answered immediately or returned within a few minutes. Tracy was also very helpful. Bill's style is one of openness, grace, and one feels like he is a friend who has one's back. He clearly loves his job, and this couples well with his depth of knowledge and love of Chaffee County. It is difficult to imagine another realtor exceeding the skill and knowledge that Bill brings to the real estate market. Thank you, Bill!
Bill was completely on-the-ball during the whole process of buying our home. He was quick to show us the homes in your price range, provided sensible advice, worked with our complicated schedules, met contractors at the house we made an offer on, since we were out-of-town at the time, dotted all the "i"s and crossed all the "t"s in the contracts, was patient with our questions, and on top of all that, was really fun to work with. We did not purchase a very expensive property, for BV standards, and Bill treated us as if we were high-end buyers. His integrity and work ethic really stood out. I couldn't recommend Bill more highly.
Bill Lockett, owner of Coldwell Banker Collegiate peaks Realty is the only real estate agent we will ever use in Colorado! After listing our home with two previous agents, and for almost 2 years, switching to Bill was the best decision we made selling our custom dream home. After just months listing with Bill, he sold our home for more than our two previous fall-through offers. Listing a home can be very stressful. Bill was thorough. He made the entire process feel easy. With his knowledge and experience he set realistic expectations with the current market. He was always “in our corner”. We’re so thankful for Bill and his team. He sold our home and assisted moving our family into the phase of life.
