Don and I  live on the East Coast (Maryland) and wanted to purchase a vacation home in Estes Park that we can use in the summer and off and on during the year.  We emailed Wayne ahead of time stating what we were looking for and when we’d be out there.  Wayne tuned right in with our wishes, found a variety of listings for us, and took us all over the Estes area exploring and checking them out.  That way we got to see the various neighborhoods and communities that are available, learned our way around, were treated to stories about the history of the area, and ruled out properties that weren’t in line with our situation.  By the end of our week there we’d found just the right place! 

We did our settlement long-distance, and even the notary we used for some of the documents commented on the efficient and organized manner in which these papers were prepared for our signatures.  We are grateful to Wayne for his patience, his vast knowledge of Estes Park and environs, his role in helping us secure our lovely new home, and his very competent partner and wife, Pat.

We had vacationed in Estes Park for years, and in 1996 we decided it was time to buy a cabin of our own and spend the entire summer there.  We were referred to Wayne Newsom, and he found just what we were looking for.  Among other things it was only a mile or so from Cheley Camp, which Bill attended as a boy in the 1940s and 50s, so it was familiar territory to him.  We enjoyed our cabin for thirteen years, until health concerns dictated our return to lower altitude.  We went back to Wayne and he sold the cabin--at our asking price--in less than two weeks.  We found that our cabin had doubled in value, and this despite the depressed real estate conditions nationally.  Wayne had found us a solid property with good value appreciation, and he served us wonderfully at both ends--buying and selling.

Wayne Newsom is the best Realtor we have ever dealt with.  He was very helpful in finding us the type of property we were looking for and spent all the time we needed to look at the properties.  He let us make our own decision and not once ever pushed us.  His wife, Pat, and the others at the office made us feel welcomed and at home.  I would highly recommend him and when we decide to make another purchase in the area, he will be the person we will call.

Our experience working with Wayne Newsom both in person and by email was always a very pleasant one. We always had the greatest confidence in him and felt that he knew everything about everything in Estes Park! He always gave tips on things and explained things that he noticed about properties that I never would have even thought to notice. Above all, we always knew that we were "small potatos" when it came to size and price of home or condo that we were looking for compared to many other buyers, but he hung in there with us and made us feel like we were the only customers in the world at that time, which we knew wasn't the case.

He always gave us his full attention and stayed "as long as it took" and never made us feel rushed. He stayed in touch really well and was prompt in answering any questions we had. We are glad we finally found the house we were looking for, but will miss working with Wayne and his wife, Pat!

We would definitely recommend Wayne to anyone.

We met Wayne several years ago when we looked at a house he had listed.  That was the beginning of a long relationship of trust and complete confidence in him as a Realtor and friend.  Over the years we have purchased property, listed and sold property through him.
We have found him to be one of the most honest and dependable people we know...and a gentleman as well.

It is always a pleasure to do business with him not only as our Realtor but as our good friend for a long time.

Wayne and Pat,

My wife and I just completed the purchase of a place in Estes Park.  The purchase was a culmination of a long time dream of ours to own property in one of our favorite places on the Planet.  One afternoon while in Estes Park for a brief summer visit, we walked in unannounced to the Coldwell Banker office.  Wayne met us at the door and introduced himself.  We explained in a few short sentences what we were trying to accomplish.  Wayne immediately understood and explained what would happen next.  We both took an immediate liking to Wayne.  In a short period of time after that, we closed the deal on our new place.  This story is more remarkable given that fact that my wife and I live in Malaysia and were in Malaysia for the entire time leading up to the closing.    

Wayne is a very practical, knowledgeable guy with an easy going style.  He eased our minds a number of times as he helped us work through the myriad of details involved in purchasing property in Colorado. We knew we were in good hands and were working with a professional who had all the necessary tools to get the job done.   

My wife and I are both very appreciative of what Wayne was able to help us accomplish and will always hold fond memories of the buying experience.  Anyone wishing to buy some property in Estes or merely to talk to “a local” and get the lowdown on what Estes Park is all about, should just knock on Wayne’s door.  I know we will.”

We would like to express our appreciation for the opportunity to have worked with Wayne during the listing and sale of our home.  His honesty, experience, helpful suggestions and ability to negotiate a fair selling price impressed us.  We highly recommend Wayne as a Realtor.

When my father decided to move to assisted living, we needed to sell his house.  Wayne Newsom was there and extremely helpful in every way.  He was even willing to meet with us the day before Thanksgiving to get things rolling by letting us know what needed to be done to  ‘spruce up’ the house before putting it on the market.  Not only did he suggest what we needed to do, he had good quality names of companies in Estes to help us get it done.  As we got ready to put the house on the market he took numerous fantastic pictures of the house and property, advertized in lots of formats, and kept us updated on showings. 

Any little thing that needed to be done, he did himself or let us know what needed to be done.  In the bargaining part of the sale, he called often, faxed me things since I live out of town, met personally with my dad as needed, gave us good sound economic advice- he definitely went the extra mile to be the professional caring real estate agent anyone would want on their team.  We couldn’t have been happier with his work ethic- friendly, helpful, and dedicated to his job.  Closing went smoothly because Wayne had done his job. After closing he gave my dad the pictures of the house he had taken, a great memory for my dad and very thoughtful on Wayne’s part.  I would highly recommend Wayne Newsom to be your real estate agent.

Dear Wayne:  Just to let you know how much we appreciate all the hard work you put in towards our recent property purchase in Estes Park.  This was far from a straight forward transaction especially since we do not reside in Colorado.  Your attention to detail, prompt responses to all questions and skilled handling of all problems that came up, the purchase and closing went very smoothly.  The whole process was handled in a most friendly and professional manner and we are very grateful for all your efforts.

Wayne was our Realtor when we sold our house on Wonderview Avenue in Estes Park.  The experience was efficient and pleasant from beginning to end.  We feel his explanations and advise were critical to our selling our home as quickly as we did…in 2 ½  weeks.  His vast experience and winning personality make him a Realtor we highly recommend.

We have known Wayne and Pat Newsom for more than 20 years…Wayne participated in our buying our present home 13 years ago.

This past year Wayne was instrumental in selling my mom’s condo.  I trust Wayne absolutely.  He tells the truth even if it is not to his advantage.  His knowledge of the market and listings in the Estes Valley is remarkable.  In the sale of the condo specifically, Wayne’s ability to deal with the paperwork and the people necessary to sell a piece of property and transfer ownership made the process stress-free for me.  He accurately described in full what was to happen and how and then made it happen because of his long experience. I have no reason to look elsewhere for a Realtor.

We were very satisfied with Wayne during our search for a new place in Estes Park.  Wayne is very knowledgeable of the area and helped us avoid such things as areas of high wind.  He screened places for us to look at and selected places that matched our needs and explained why other places would not be a good match for us.  Since we live in Indiana, he went out of his way to take pictures of some of the places we were interested in.  He also sent us floor plans and other information to help us since we could not look at all of the places.  We finally settled on buying a condo which he checked out for us.

Wayne Newsom became our broker in August 2007 when we were looking for property along the Thompson River.  He did an excellent job of explaining his position as a Transaction Broker.  He helped us through the process of presenting an offer and debating if the property was best for us.  He talked over the pros and cons and provided a great service and recommended highly qualified people for the closing.  He is open and honest and steered us in the right direction…we have been extremely happy with our decision.  I would call on Wayne again and also refer him to others.

It is a pleasure to recommend my friend Wayne Newsom as a well qualified, thoroughly professional Realtor.  My experience with him during the listing and sale of my Estes Park property was outstanding.  Wayne has a wealth of local knowledge and experience and one could do not better for representation.

A A Armour – Loveland, CO

The summer of 2007 my father had to be taken to a health care center and his house had to be sold quickly.  He had known Wayne as a friend and Realtor for a long time.  Wayne met with me at the house for a once over and I stated our needs.  He knew this was a difficult time for us and made the selling of the property a very easy job.  He worked hard for us and always kept me informed of what was going on.  The house sold the end of August.  I would use him again in a heartbeat.

D Covington – Drake, CO

Dear Wayne:  It has been a year since I moved into my new home and I wanted to write and thank you again for helping me find the perfect home.  You were so patient and kind during the entire process.  I also want to thank you for the wisdom you gave me when I was looking for my home.  It was obvious you understand your clients and the housing market and you have an innate ability to guide your customers to the home that best suits their needs.

L Lucht – Estes Park

Wayne was amiable, efficient and professional in his dealings with my wife and me.  When we called the agency and told him of our real estate wishes, he provided us with a list of properties he felt would be of interest to us.  Being from out of town and having limited time, he was always willing to be available to show us properties.  His willingness to search out and provide answers to all our questions made this experience a memorable one.  Thanks to him we were able to purchase property that fit all our needs.  He led us through the purchasing procedures explaining all facets of the contract.  Thanks, Wayne!

M & M Rutkowski – Tucson

We’ve bought and sold several homes but Wayne Newsom has done the best job for us.  He suggested we have a professional appraiser to help determine the asking price for our home.  He put a visual “walk through” on the ‘net which generated much interest…he made a brochure which showed the inside and our lot.  We had many potential buyers shown by Coldwell Banker and other Estes Park Realtors.  At the end of six weeks our house was sold and the Title company completed the sale in record time.  We have recommended Wayne to our friends who plan to sell their homes as well.

 R & M Brown – Highlands Ranch, CO

Wayne was very helpful to us when we came to Estes Park to buy property.  In three days we were able to find and make a purchase offer on a wonderful home. Wayne knows Estes Park very well as well as the values of properties and the current market which was very helpful for us.  With us being from out of town, he valued our time and was very accommodating.  We would recommend Wayne for buying and/or selling a home.
