What My Clients Are Saying...

Thank you for your services! Kelly Kniffin made our Durango home purchasing a very smooth process! From house viewing to the final docu-signing, referrals for handymen, tile work, surveying, banking, even where to purchase home furnishings in Durango everything went simply without a hitch. Since we were purchasing from out of state it could have been a difficult process, but Kelly kept everything right on track. We highly recommend using her services.
