Tesimonials

My wife and I have known Charlie for several years, so he was our first call when we decided to buy a home in town. Thanks to Charlie’s knowledge of the community and relationships with architects and contractors, we were able to make the best decision for our family. Based on our experience, we will turn to Charlie for all our real estate needs in the future and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Crested Butte.
Jeff and Jen Fahrenbruch
We moved our second home from Breckenridge to Crested Butte about 4 years ago and the home buying process was fun fast and efficient thanks to working with Charlie. We contacted him through a mutual friend and when we showed up in Crested Butte he had the next day and one half setup with showings that matched what we talked about prior to arriving. We found a great home and within the week had it under contract. In the process learned much about the area as he has decades of experience. He stayed with us throughout the process. We used Charlie again on a different property a few years later. I would and have recommended him to friends.
Doug and Debbie McQueen | Oklahoma City, OK
I just sold my house in Mt. Crested Butte. Two friends recommended Charlie Farnan. Charlie was knowledgeable and attentive, giving guidance throughout prepping the house for sale, pricing the property, providing careful oversight of negotiations, and apprising me as the sale proceeded through closing. Charlie’s years as a Crested Butte realtor and his relationships in the area provided a smooth, fast, and successful result.

I loved working with Charlie Farnan, the Mountain Office at Bluebird Real Estate in Crested Butte. His professionalism and responsiveness were unbeatable! I am so grateful to him for all he did to ensure we had a smooth experience purchasing our condo. The entire experience was great.
Susan Gellert
I have worked with Joel and Charlie in the past on other real estate transactions and I have always found both of them to be very friendly, professional and very knowledgeable on the state of the real estate market in Crested Butte. I look forward to working with both of them and Bluebird Real Estate for any future real estate needs I may have in Crested Butte.
