Crystal Staepel has been my agent through the purchase of my home and now through the difficult process of short selling. She has been amazing in her responsiveness to my needs, especially from a distance as I had to move from the area for a job. I would recommend Crystal Staepel highly to anyone interested in purchasing or selling property in the Yampa Valley. She is a multi-generational local who knows the area very well and using this knowledge, strives to find the perfect fit for her clients. Crystal will work tirelessly to this end.

We worked with Crystal Staepel to locate properties that met our requirements, viewed the properties and successfully bid on a very difficult purchase of a superb home with additional acreage. Crystal is extremely knowledgeable about real estate, legalities, financing, the local Steamboat / Stagecoach area and the local people. Her wide range of knowledge and experience really set her apart from others. When asked for contracting references, she referred us to professionals in the area with known track records who are very competitive and the best in the business. I highly recommend Crystal if you want a superior, professional and knowledgeable agent. Kevin Wild CEO - DVM Systems, LLC

She is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and the transaction process. Showings were smooth and the offer/sale process proceeded without a hitch.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Crystal. We were purchasing a home from a distance and she was always very accomodating and always willing to help. She made communicating easy and her use of technology really simplified what would have otherwise been a slow and cumbersome process.

Crystal is great to work with. Her experience was evident as she knew all the local market dynamics, made the process incredibly easy and even recommended great local professionals when needed. Crystal also understood and advised on our negotiation strategy. This was a real estate transaction that could have easily fell through, yet Crystal was able to work with the sellers agent to work through various issues. Given my purchase was 4 1/2 hours away, Crystal was my lifeline to the area. She arranged to meet various service companies to help me get estimates /home inspection. She was very professional throughout the process.

Crystal was fantastic. She was willing to preview properties for us since we were not local and then when she found a property that she thought was perfect she told us to jump on a plane to see it. She was right and we happily put in a bid after seeing it in person. She was always responsive and made the closing process smooth. Would definitely recommend her.

Crystal made plans after our first meeting to perform a market assessment and when she returned approximately a week later she provided us with a $ 25,000 range for listing our home. We listed and had 11 viewings within 10 days to 2 weeks and had 2 competing offers at above listing price. We sold at an almost 5% premium due to an excellent agent and agency where NLG Realty worked as a team and obviously did their homework! Crystal and NLG Realty did a far superior job than ANY previous realtor or agent that we have used in the past! Crystal and NLG are professional, knowledgeable and experienced!

This was the best buying experience I have ever had and will definitely recommend her to everyone I have the opportunity to tell. She’s a gem! Thank you thank you thank you!

After dealing with 2 other agencies over a 5 yr period with no sale or interest, NLG was highly recommended by a neighbor of mine. I spoke with the staff and worked very closely with Crystal. She made me feel very confident the NLG team would do everything possible to ensure this property got the advertising and exposure it required. Within a short time an offer was presented. Crystal was quick to respond to my questions and walked me through every step of the way till the deal was completed. I highly recommend this team and absolutely loved working with Crystal.

Crystal was excellent as a selling realtor. She provided us recommendations on how to stage the house within the constraints we had, provided guidance on how to price the house, and helped negotiate the final offer. She was also very helpful in providing 'boots on the ground' work as I could not be there for in person meetings. This is the 4th house I have sold and I would definitely use her again.

Crystal is a very patient and resourceful real estate agent. We worked with her for almost a year to find our home at Lake George. In a very constrained market, she guided us through the process and provided invaluable assistance to help get over the inevitable hurdles. We highly recommend her and would not hesitate to user her services again for future transactions.

I don't write reviews often, but I felt strongly about telling (buyers or sellers) to use Sherwood. Can't say enough positive about the, One last comment that is critical for me. Integrity.

I can’t say enough good things about Crystal, Lonnie, and the whole team at Sherwood Group. Crystal worked with us for a long time to help us find the right home. In a tough real estate market for buyers, she helped us stay grounded and realistic. Our search was even more challenging because we were not local to the area, which really complicated home buying in a hot seller's market. Crystal made it as seamless as possible.
