Working with Deb Allen Keenan was a wonderful
and rewarding experience. She was extremely responsive to our diverse
and often changing needs. Her biggest strength is her ability to listen
to her client. By listening and creatively responding to our family's
interests, she was able to find the perfect home for us. Her persistence,
diligence, and attention to detail made the process easy and fun for
us. I would strongly recommend Deb to anyone interested in finding
the right home to suit their needs.

I can say without question that the folks
at Jackson Real Estate and Appraisal were the most professional, ethical,
diligent and knowledgeable brokers of any I have ever encountered
in my business life. No one knows the area and the real estate market
in the Jackson area better than this group. I would not hesitate to
recommend them highly to anyone seeking to buy or sell property in
Jackson Hole. Warren Adler, author of "The War

In our opinion, Jackson Hole Real Estate &
Appraisal is the leading real estate brokerage firm in Jackson Hole.
We have worked with the company over the past several years and have
had a positive experience. The agents at Jackson Hole Real Estate
& Appraisal have excellent insight into the Jackson Hole real
estate market. This knowledge, combined with the companys extensive
resources of data and analytic tools, fosters a unique and thorough
understanding of a dynamic and complex market. We found this blend
of objective data and subjective interpretation to be an important
advantage when buying and selling our properties.
In addition to Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisals strong
understanding of the market, the agents are outstanding. They understood
our objectives and kept them in mind throughout our relationship.
The agents always put our goals first, never pressuring us to take
any type of premature action. Our discussions on issues/strategies
were always thoughtful, balanced and never self-serving.
Over the years, we have learned that many real estate agents simply
coordinate the transaction and are not able to offer sound
advice backed by experience and data. Jackson Hole Real Estate &
Appraisal is not like other companies and provides value added services.
We could not be more pleased with the service and support we have
received from Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisal. Tom

I retained Jackson Hole Real Estate &
Appraisal to represent me in the search and acquisition of two homes
in Jackson Hole; the first in 1997 and a replacement property in
2004. With a background of 30 years in commercial real estate myself,
I recognized and appreciated the true professionalism to Jackson
Hole Real Estate and Appraisal are committed.
In particular, they demonstrate:
- Market Knowledge -They are a local company with an unparalleled
knowledge of all aspects of Jackson Hole and its various real
estate markets.
- Patience - In both of my transactions, I looked at a wide variety
of properties over a 1-2 year period before making an acquisition.
I never felt pressured to act prematurely.
- Integrity -For every property I was shown, I was informed of
not just the positive aspects, but also of any and all negatives
and/or risks.
- Negotiation Skills -I always felt well counseled on negotiating
strategy and, in both cases, felt that, together, we achieved
the most favorable transaction attainable.
The people at Jackson Hole Real Estate and Appraisal are clearly committed
to the highest standards of real estate professionalism.

When we decided to sell our vacation
home in Jackson Hole, we searched for a real estate company that had
deep roots and a thorough understanding of the unique nuances of the
Jackson Hole real estate market. We were concerned about our home
becoming lost as just another listing of one of the large mega real
estate companies. We selected Jackson Hole Real Estate & Appraisal
because of their depth of experience and the sharp, intelligent way
that they analyze and market the strengths of each home to the continually
changing Jackson Hole real estate market. David Viehman and his team
worked closely with us on the marketing and sale of our home and continually
kept us apprised of all showings and interest. We greatly appreciate
the focused, individual approach that JHRE&A gives to each property.

Our Thanks to you and your organization for
your loyalty, your knowledge and your suggestions as to our proper

Your personal attention was a very special bonus as you received

Having been an out of town homeowner and
condo owner for over 25 years I have come to know and understand
Jackson and Teton Village quite well. When faced with the need to
sell my home under a time schedule, I decided to give you an exclusive
listing primarily because all of the attention you gave to my properties.
Your yearly appraisals were more impressive than the many letters
I get each year from brokers who are trying to get listings.
My instincts certainly paid off. I have bought and sold many properties
over the years, and have represented many friends in their sales
and closings. I was particularly impressed at your constant, and
yet appropriate, communications throughout the process. Your attention
to all details and ability to answer important questions made the
sale of my home about as easy as I could have imagined. Here in
the East, nearly all of the work you did would have been done by
the seller's attorney. Having acted as a sellers attorney on numerous
occasions, I am most grateful for all of the calls you made and
your close attention to every detail. Most of all I appreciate your
overall knowledge of how to make a deal happen, and your ability
to do so which is so important to an out of town seller.
Sincerely yours,

Jackson Hole Real Estate and Appraisal
is a wonderful company to work with. After visiting Jackson Hole on
vacations for more than 20 years, my wife and I decided to purchase
a house in the Jackson area in anticipation of retirement. Our agent
kept us informed, through the internet, of available houses as they
came on the market. He took the time to thoroughly understand our
needs and always provided us with honest and extremely useful opinions
with no pressure whatsoever.
During a summer vacation, he spent an entire week with us checking
out over 80 houses to narrow the list down to five, from which we
chose one which fits us perfectly! During this time, the folks at
JHRE & A became more than our agents, they are our friends. We
are currently in the process of moving permanently to Jackson Hole.
In summary, we could not be more pleased with our experience and strongly
recommend that anyone interested in real estate in Jackson Hole or
the surrounding area should first contact Jackson Hole Real Estate
and Appraisal. Joe and Phyllis Greene

While it was hard at first for us to know
exactly what we wanted in Jackson, you were very helpful and patient,
showing us several properties with long and short term rental potential,
in several areas of town.
By looking at those areas in a particular cost spread, it really helped
us to decide what we wanted and would work for us. You were very knowledgeable
about the Jackson area and also clearly knew the properties and the
steps we needed to follow when we did make an offer and sign a contract.
Your attention to detail and making a to-do list for us has been so
helpful, as we needed to turn our attention to selling a property
near home. You have consistently reminded us of our upcoming deadlines
and have been the on-site person for the inspection and other jobs
needed at the property.
In our opinion, YOU ARE THE BEST!! Peg

The Jackson area, whose residents include
actor Harrison Ford, Vice President Dick Cheney and World Bank President
Jim Wolfensohn, saw a cooling in its high-end real-estate market when
the 1990s faded, according to David E. Viehman, of Jackson Hole Real
Estate & Appraisal. But overall home sales rose 21% in the first
six months of 2004 from a year earlier, the firm says, while deals
involving properties costing more than $1 million rose 45%.

Our agent proved to be one of the best
Realtors we have dealt with through many years of transfers and home
purchases. From the onset she realized our situation would require
some creative thinking. She explored many options on our behalf, bringing
to our attention several possibilities that would otherwise have been
overlooked, and her efforts resulted in two sales and satisfied clients....thoroughly
organized...asked the right questions...actually listened...stayed
in contact...anticipated questions... on time, ready to go, information
in hand. Her professionalism and thoroughness were impressive, and
we were very please with her abilities throughout the transactions.
Congratulations for a job well done. Marty annd Raylene

You inspired confidence in me from our
first meeting and never failed to honor every word you promised me.
I appreciated your diligence in the midst of having to make repairs,
etc. to the house whether it was the crawl space or the radon mitigation.
You have a wonderful, reasonable demeanor and are a calming force
when disappointments would be forthcoming and believe me there were
quite a few. You never failed to help me understand the issues involved.
I saw the efforts you consistently made to market the property and
believed from the outset you could handle the internet in a most efficient
and productive way. I was not disappointed. I have interfaced with
many agents and companies in my course of selling properties, both
in Jackson and in California, and it is reassuring to know there remain
men of industry, honor, and integrity who take pride in a job well
done! You and your company will certainly be acknowledged when I think
of direction for any friends or contacts I may have.

Thankfully, during this very difficult
deal, I had the excellent fortune to work with two of your associates,
both of whom went way beyond the call of duty in their tireless efforts
to complete the sale of my property....Never once did I receive anything
but the finest and most empathetic assistance. Please extend my grateful
compliments to both of these women. Congratulations to you on your
superlative staff. Anne Whitehurst

JHRE has given us outstanding service

JHRE&A took on the marketing of a
piece of land that we had been trying to sell for some time, and frankly
had given up on. Our previous experience had been that no one wished
to tackle the issues, and miscommunications that had caused our property
to be labeled as plagued with problems. Despite its small size relative
the other land sales both in acreage and value in the Jackson area,
we were treated the same as if we were selling a 2,000 acre ranch.
JHRE&A tenaciously approached the issues, carefully navigated
the various personalities involved, and ultimately achieved a superior
result for both us the seller, as well as the buyer. They also put
to rest a long standing series of miscommunications in a neighborhood.
I think everyone was appreciative of their efforts. We wholeheartedly
recommend JHRE&A based on their great knowledge of the area, as
well as his high level of honesty and professionalism. Cindy

My experience with Jackson Hole Real Estate

near future. Ralph Wilkerson

I wish to thank you for the outstanding
service you provided me throughout the 18 month period that I was
searching for a second home in Jackson. You educated me well on the
local market, and truly worked for me as a buyers agent. Your
knowledge of the local market and of individual properties was invaluable,
as you were quickly able to narrow down the search to properties that
would suit and not waste time on unsuitable properties. You were generous
with your time and advice, and never put any pressure on me to buy.
In fact there were several times that you gave me good advice that
protected me from an unwise purchase decision, and created more work
for yourself. Once I had found a suitable property you helped me negotiate
an excellent contract that was on favorable terms, despite it being
a sellers market. There were special conditions included in the contract
that protected my interests, that would not have been there had I
dealt directly with the sellers agent. Once we had a contract in place,
you exceeded all expectations in looking after my interests, right
up to the time of closing. Your honesty, integrity and outstanding
service are the reasons that I would not hesitate to recommend you
to anyone wanting to buy or sell a property in the Jackson area.

The first time we met a JHRE&A agent
was after a vacation in Jackson Hole. We were headed home when we
decided to stop in a real estate office in Alpine. Knowing we could
be a waste of her time, since we were just passing through on our
wayhome, the agent still took the time to be helpful and kind. This
led me to continue wanting her to help me. We emailed each other several
times, her sending me listings of what she had and I explaining further
what I was looking for. The end result was that we now are happy land
owners in Wyoming and would contact JHRE&A when we have further
interests. Richard A. Curry

I chose JHRE&A as my real estate company
because their agents are not in the business for the quick fix. My
agent was committed to finding the right value for each and every
client. Greg Epstein

We worked with Jackson Hole Real Estate
& Appraisal for several years enroute to finding the right property
for us in Jackson. We found JHRE&A to be unfailingly ethical,
honest, professional and focused on helping us locate the property
that met our needs. JHRE&A has an excellent knowledge of the Jackson
market and brings a good understanding of pricing and value in Jackson
Hole. We appreciated their ability to distinguish our needs versus
our wants and then to identify those homes which matched our criterion.
In addition, their follow up and follow through are both excellent
and his attention to detail in writing a contract is extremely valuable.
JHRE&A is a professional real estate company that definitely represented
our (not their) interests throughout the search and finally the transaction.

Dear David,
Thank you, Sylvia and the team at your firm for shepherding the
sales of my two Pacific Creek lots to closure. It took a while!
Nonetheless, you told me from the outset that as unique as Pacific
Creek is, the majority of homeseekers who come to the valley are
from urban areas, and they are a bit undone by the glorious wilderness.
You always said that it would take just the right buyer and that
buyer would arrive at the most unexpected time. Patience is both
of our virtues, and we did wait. It all paid off in the end. You
are professional to a “T”, courteous and you have given
me sage advice regarding timing, value versus price and marketing.
Thank you again for your friendship, your loyality and for your
achievements on my behalf. I will always direct those friends of
mine who are searching for a home in the valley to your door.
Fondly,
Anne Werner
New Mexico and Wyoming
