We recently purchased our very first home with the help of John Kearley. John went out of his way to make the process enjoyable and stress free, even in an extremely hot buying market. He was always available to answer our many questions and gave great insight into navigating the home buying process. At every step of the way, we knew John was dedicated to finding us a home we will be happy with for years to come. We could not be more grateful!

John was enormously helpful to us as we looked for a mountain getaway and potential future retirement property. He met us at properties 45 minutes from Salida on weekends, was patient and kind in his explanations of our options, and did all this through the challenging days of the pandemic. Born and raised in Colorado, it’s been our lifelong dream to own something in the mountains, and it turned out it was the same dream as many! We had to make offers in a competitive market, react quickly, and seek his advice constantly. He was a true pleasure to work with and we’re proud to call him our new neighbors (well, only one mountain pass separates us now).

John Kearley goes above and beyond for his clients, and he is a delightful real estate agent to work with. From start to finish in our homebuying process, John was kind, professional, and purposeful in communicating clearly with us. He was easy to reach by e-mail, phone call, or text, and very prompt in setting up meetings, showings, and finding answers to all our questions. When things got difficult under contract, John remained in close communication with us and advocated for our best interests at every turn. John is a person of integrity who seeks the best for his clients, working with honesty, care, and intentionality. In searching for or buying a home, we could not recommend a more qualified and helpful partner in the process than John.

My wife and I are incredibly thrilled about our fortunate relationship with John Kearley as our Realtor. We have had the pleasure of knowing John for a number of years, but this was our first time using his professional work: helping us to sell our 35-acre pasture.
We were worried as interest rates began rising, but the pasture was listed for only two days, before our first offer at the asking price! That deal led to another which was an even better offer, all shepherded by John.
He explained all the intricacies of the paperwork very simply and was very calm and reassuring when a potential difficulty appeared.
We were very pleased and encourage others who are trying to sell land or a house in this environment to call on John. He will guide you through line by line all the way through, offer to closure!
