Crissy was great. She was very professional, savvy about the market dynamics and was a good adviser throughout the process. She also did an exceptional job during the closing process and has been a great resource to me. I look forward to maintaining a relationship with her for our future real estate needs in Vail.

Crissy's calm guidance was invaluable re keeping everything together. She always told me she would take care of me, and she delivered. Crissy spent much extra time and effort on my behalf, and I always received sold help, advice and assurances. I believe in my case her duties went far above and beyond what one would normally expect!
Additionally, Crissy is one of the nicest, friendliest women I have ever met/so easy to work with. She is a very warm person, but she also has enough confidence and presence to know when to be firm, but nice in order to negotiate and close a deal. She has been such a dependable, tireless hard-worker on my behalf- I want to make sure that others who may be thinking about signing an agreement/contract with her know what an outstanding Realtor she is. I totally trusted her with buying my most expensive possession-my home. I am proud to recommend her highly to all.

Crissy is the best broker I have ever dealt with. She was very helpful through out the process. She did things for us that are beyond the realm of a broker-client relationship up until the closing and beyond. We were doing this entire thing from out of town and it is amazing how smooth it all progressed. She did not only help us with the issues related to the purchase. There w ere a lot of other things she helped us with, i.e., contracting a management company, transfer of the electricity, etc.

I couldn't have done a mountain purchase without a local expert. My broker, Crissy Rumford, truly helped me get the full understanding of the various products and communities in Vail. Once we found our property, she also helped the transaction go smoothly, even giving me a great referral list for all the local help I will need. I truly couldn't have done it without her.

I was selling real estate while in NY. My experience could not have been better. It was a really tough personal situation, but Crissy’s sense of humor and innate kindness made it easy. It was a true pleasure to work with her.

We were referred to Crissy from a Realtor in Denver and still can't believe how lucky we were to find her!Because we were making day trips from Denver to view properties she made the most of whatever time we had. After several viewings I felt that she was VERY intune with what we were looking for which helped in eliminating certain properties and exploring others. She is truly an expert in the valley, helping us to navigate through the many options we were considering. Once we had decided to move forward with a property she provided all of the data that supported our offer. Our offer ended up being accepted on New Years and to make things even more complicated we were out of the country, Crissy went above and beyond to get the job done. Crissy will always be our go to Realtor and we can not recommend her highly enough!
