Welcome to E.W. Andrews Real Estate

"For many years my wife and I have admired the Telluride territory. In early 1987 we decided to plant some money in the area but knew no one in the real estate business. We answered a newspaper ad and called Ed Andrews in Telluride. Ed showed us a wide range of potential properties from condos to building lots to parcels of undeveloped land. Mr. Andrews had a broad knowledge of the real estate scene in south west Colorado. After 3 days of intensive property hunting, we bought a parcel of land in the Ilium Valley. Ed handled the sale with dispatch and was a real professional throughout. All the legal requirements were handled smoothly and the closing went off without a hitch. Perhaps of more importance or note is the way Ed followed up on the sale. He has continued to help us with our building plans as well as making us aware of other investment opportunities for us in the area. We would buy another property from Mr. Andrews with confidence that we would be treated fairly and honestly."

"This past year I worked with Ed Andrews in acquiring property in Telluride, Colorado. Working with Ed has been a terrific experience. Ed has been a tremendous asset, someone who is both professional and very knowledgeable. He has worked hard for our best interests. Ed has taken a sincere interest in helping us to purchase and develop our property in Telluride and we are happy with the results. I gladly recommend Ed. If you have any questions and would like to call me, feel free to do so. (Pager-1/800-689-3160 or office-(931) 668-2876.)

"I am happy to provide this letter of reference to you and to reiterate our favorable experiences with you and your firm during the sale of the Bear Wallow Ranch for Leo Payne. Your knowledge and experience in handling the sale of this ranch was overshadowed only by your diligence and willingness to do whatever was necessary to see this complicated transaction through to a successful closing. Your assistance with the survey and attention to the many other details was greatly appreciated by both Buyer and Seller. I know Leo Payne shares my sentiment as we both feel your services were essential in concluding the sale of the Bear Wallow Ranch. I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for all your efforts, which at times were above and beyond the efforts put forth by most Realtors, and we wish you well in the future."

"As you are aware, we had the ranch listed for a year with another Broker. He never even showed it once! Selling the ranch in the winter far exceeded all our expectations. Who would have thought of snowmobiling in to show it?! You negotiated all the hurdles, i.e. easements, gas leases and survey issues, etc. quite skillfully. We would recommend you as a Real Estate Broker to anyone."

"We were amazed that after only a couple of hours of conversation discussing our needs we found the ideal property on the second day! ( Since the closing we are less surprised at your success with us since we have learned from several sources that your objective knowledge of the Telluride area, and especially the outlying Regions is legendary. ) Your professionalism throughout the process, and your continuing support after the sale have been wonderful ( and very unique in a world that seems to have lost the personal touch. )

"Having spent time in the new house during a snow storm, I am very pleased to say that this property is everything and more that you said it would be. We especially appreciated the fact that you brought your own snowmobile up to the mesa and helped us move into the new house."

"Although the property we purchased was small and relatively inexpensive compared to most properties in the Telluride area, we were treated as if we were your most important clients. The level of professionalism and personal attention your company offered was outstanding."

"As you know, I stay extremely busy with a young business and an equally young family. Like too many other people, I don't often write letters unless it's to voice my objection to some inequity I've experienced. I am compelled to write you in reaction to the way you went beyond what would make you some dollars today, in concern for our long term welfare and goals. I am referring to the assistance you provided in the refinancing of our lot 7B in Last Dollar, which we have listed with you. As far as I know, you had no financial stake in helping us find a lender who would fit the narrow requirements, but you eagerly provided the leads and follow up which truly made the difference and helped us avoid an interim financial fiasco. There are areas in business where sometimes the only way one can guage the quality of the service being performed is through the consistent character of the service provider. I feel that my family has a friend and advocate in Telluride, and his name is Ed Andrews. There are transactions and there are relationships.One of the latter can lead to many of the former! We will have both. There is a quote which has hung behind my desk for ten years now as a reminder to me and those in my company. It describes you, and I suspect, those in your company. Please share it with them. Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism. Ed Andrews, the little things still matter--- Thank you for who you are!

"When my wife and I had decided to sell our property at Carstens Ranch, we listed it with one of the bigger firms in town anticipating more exposure and opportunity for a quick sale. However, to our dismay we had neither. At this point we contacted Ed and listed the property. From the beginning of our relationship Ed displayed his professionalism and thorough knowledge of the real estate business. In conjunction with his sincere and enthusiastic attitude, he quickly marketed and sold our parcel...."

We want to sincerely applaud you on your forthrightness in helping us bring to life our hopes of being Hasting Mesa landowners. Having never before owned or purchased real estate, we embraced the expert guidance which you provided throughout the entire process. You were frank and candid with us about our limitations and expectations. We appreciate that very much. As young, recent newcomers to San Miguel County, it seemed there was no hope for working class Joes to obtain a piece of the pie. You proved otherwise. We will gladly refer to you all acquaintances toying with the possibility of purchasing land. Again, thank you very much for all your help/

" This reference is to acknowledge the professionalism and hard work exhibited by Mr. ed Andrews with regard to my recent acquisition of North Mountain ranch in Norwood, Co. Ed provided the guidance and extensive research in helping me select the ranch property which would meet my needs. His efforts were continuous not only through the search and acquisition stage, but continued after the purchase to ensure my complete satisfaction with the ranch. ed thoroughly researched the wildlife on all properties considered, especially with regard to Elk and Mule Deer populations. He assisted in many aspects of the ranch operation to help me through the learning curve. Throughout my dealings with Ed, he has acted as an extension of myself. He did not "disappear into the sunset" after the sale of the ranch. To this day he continues contact with me, informing me of local conditions concerning the ranch and the surrounding area. It was through Ed's efforts and commitment that the purchase of North Mountain Ranch was a success. I would highly recommend ed to anyone interested in selecting this type, or any type of property. I am a very satisfied client."
