Great experience working with Asa Van Gelder and the team at Shimkonis Partners on a recent purchase! Asa was very helpful finding the right property and guiding us through the transaction. His communication throughout the process was excellent and really helped us stay ahead of any potential issues. Asa has extensive knowledge of and experience with the area while providing an exceptional level of service. I highly recommend Asa to anyone looking to buy or sell in Telluride and would not hesitate to work with him again.

We love working with Shimmy! His help was comprehensive and his connections extensive, including introducing us to real estate brokers in several other markets around Colorado when we were considering our options in other ski towns.He was nimble in pivoting to getting one of our properties listed and marketing ramped up and then kindly removing the listing from the market, even after he was able to obtain a strong offer shortly before we had a change of plans.He expertly navigated us through potential peril with one of our transactions. We felt very well taken care of and like he was really looking out for our best interest financially.He threw us a creative curveball after listening to our needs, one that resulted in us unexpectedly purchasing a perfect property.This is our second transaction with Shimmy. If you want a patient and connected specialist who knows the market and listens to your needs, give him a call. We're glad we did!

What a pleasure it was to work with Shimkonis Partners. Mike and his staff are great listeners and straight shooters. They spent significant time getting to know us and our home and how we lived in the home. This allowed them to very effectively bring out subtle aspects of the property to emphasize its unique personality. As transaction brokers, they successfully melded the needs of both buyer and seller toward a successful transaction where both parties were greatly satisfied.

The closing yesterday on my condo at The Peaks was the fourth transaction Shimmy has handled for us in the last 4-5 years. It was a coincidence a few years ago that we were selling our east Texas lake house with a local agent there, while at the same time we were buying a Mountain Village condo via Mike Shimkonis. All the difference on the world in the two realtors. The big difference was that Shimmy is PRO-ACTIVE. He would look ahead to potential hiccups in the negotiations and make recommendations to avert them. Most importantly, he KNOWS THE MARKET. Telluride has seasons that are better for buying and better for selling, so he may encourage you to time your placement on the market to a more advantageous time. Finally, Mike will provide the same level of care to a small deal as he does with one of several million. There's a reason he has pretty much all 5-star ratings.

My husband and I were totally new to the process, and Asa was exactly the person we needed for that exciting and daunting first step. Asa was both very attentive and very patient; he leaned on his years of experience but never forgot what it felt like to be in our shoes. He mentored us and looked out for our needs like a good friend. So grateful for this dedicated man who helped us find the perfect spot and who has helped us stay in this amazing community. Thank you, Asa, from the bottoms of our hearts!

We just made a purchase thru Asa Van Gelder. By far his expertise made all showings and our final transaction go quickly and smoothly. He was able to find just what we were looking for. Asa got all done quickly and precisely through out our real estate search and purchase. We can’t recommend him more!!

We used Shimmy to buy our home 5 years ago and to sell this year. We went int escrow within 48 of listing. Very easy, stress free transaction, both buying and selling with him. Highly recommended

Mike is a true expert in the cycles of the Telluride market. Our goal was to close by August to line up with the school calendar. Mike executed a plan to make that happen. Additionally, I work from home which could have made showings challenging. However, Mike and his team were fantastic in notifying us and working with my schedule. Mike and his team also communicated promptly and partnered with us to meet every deadline. This was critical for a smooth closing.Mike’s experience, knowledge of the Telluride market, and commitment to his clients can’t be beaten.

Mike and his team did an outstanding job from start to finish on our purchase. From showing us around to get a good feel for the community, knowledge of properties locations and beautiful Telluride, and working thru the purchase from offer to closing. I could not recommend anyone else who made it easy and comfortable for us start to finish.

I worked with Shimmy as the loan officer on a file together. He was involved in the process from start to finish and was able to jump in and help get some difficult paperwork completed. He coordinated everything for his client so his client didnt have to lift his finger. Closed on time with a happy client. Definitely recommend working with him!

We have worked with Shimkonis Partners four times now over the past few years as we worked our way from a fractional ownership to our newest purchase in See Forever Village. Each time, Mike and his team have been superb partners, offering strategic advice, orientation to detail, and impeccable follow through. He took the time to get to know me and my family in order to truly understand our best-case scenario -- then he made it happen. Truly five-star service! Recommend them highly!
