Christy provides clients with an unprecedented commitment to marketing and closing a sale—she approaches each project with commitment to see it through including an ability to problem solve and get a property bought or sold!
Peabody has significant land holdings across the nation, and handles the majority of all real estate transactions in-house. We hired Christy to market and sell a complex ranch with a luxury home. Her connections and knowledge of land, water/minerals produced a successful close in just over a year. Her hustle and determination made it happen!
“Christy knows real estate. She will not inflate expectations to get a listing. She has been honest with me. I appreciate her professionalism. I trust her to advise me.”
“In the 13 years that we’ve worked with her, across multiple transactions, Christy Belton has always brought a unique capability of real estate expertise, combined with ranching insight and respect for the land. These talents were especially evident in the very complex sale of our family’s legacy ranch, the Home Ranch in Clark, CO. Brokering a sale which balances the complexities of multiple family interests, unique buyer demands, and the conservation and ranching ethos of our valley is no simple task – it requires a swift intelligence, the ability to listen closely to the both the sellers’ and buyers’ needs, and the deftness to negotiate thorny issues with decisiveness and resolve. We have seen many times over that these are the qualities that one can expect from Christy any time that she enters a deal. We feel immensely fortunate to have worked with Christy in the past and we would not hesitate to work with her again.”
