Independence Realty & Property Management Poplar St, Leadville

Good people, really awesome on the managing vacation rentals for owners. Like I haven't seen, read or heard a bad thing on their vacation properties, or Andrew, Tracy or any of their staff!!! as far as my experience goes, I'm in one of their long-term rentals I'm 100% positive no one inspected this property before we moved in, after 5 days of living in the property (two of those days we slept in our old place in Silverthorne because there were that many mice and rodents inside the unit) they threw a propane charge at us to refill the 200 gallon tank which was $600 and we weren't the ones who emptied that tank.... Rather predatory way for a landlord get someone to cover their bills through independence property management. Since I've lived here, I've had to fix two windows, the kitchen window is super glued there is a leak in the roof, where the leak is has a few tires and a 2x4 holding it together, I'm afraid to try and fix it cause it could be way worse than I think it is. And I can't try and find another place at , irrigation lines are cut a pulled up out front creating a big big problem especially with how wet it's been this year, there's literally layers of rotted wood, brick, paving stone and roofing shingles throughout the yard which I found after I picked up 5 42 gallon contractor trash bags with trash from previous tenants prairie dogs and ground squirrels live under the rotting wooden deck out back, Im still picking up nails and screw out the dirt drive way, one popped a tire in May, dishwasher doesn't work hasn't worked the whole time we've lived here and the "great" $600 magic chef POS 12cu ft top freezer college dorm room fridge isn't great. All in all they're good people who've built up a solid company, but don't move into one their long-term rentals, they don't inspect it, and it's not worth the stress...

Andrew and Tracy have been managing rentals for my house in Leadville. They have been very timely providing reports on rental income and expenses and have addressed needed repairs quickly and kept me well informed. When I asked questions I received an immediate response and all of the information I required. In all of my dealings with them, I have found them to be very professional, responsive and am very pleased with the value I receive for their services.

We have worked with Andrew and Tracy for over ten years now and have always received nothing but the best service. They are professional, reliable and great to work with. They are both truly passionate about what they do and love their community. We have been very pleased with our experience renting their properties time and time again. Our vacation rentals were always clean, well stocked and exceeded our expectations. We have enjoyed each and every one of our stays and wouldn’t use anyone else for our visits to Leadville. Highly recommend them and Independence Realty! We are already looking forward to our next visit!

As a home owner I trust Andrew and Tracy totally . My home is always looked after. The up keep is perfect and they pay such close attention to detail. I never Worry about it. Andrew and Tracy are trustworthy and honest. I have been with them from the very start and will never look at another property management company. I cant say enough about them or their business, thanks guys look forward to many years with you.

Independence Realty is very professional. They are both a fantastic brokerage firm as well as property manager. We use them for our vacation rental. Highly Recommend if you would like to be worry-free and hands-off and with your rental. If you are looking to buy or sell - no need to look any further! Fantastic.

I am owner of a rental property in Leadville, Colorado and have had the great good fortune to have property management the past 10 years provided by Independence Realty, Andrew Purdy and staff. Consistently over the years they have communicated with me in a prompt, professional and trustworthy manner. I’m especially impressed with their value system which includes honesty, engagement in the community, compassion, equality and fairness to all. Highly recommend!

Have been a tenant of Independence for over 2 years. Have never had any problems. When we moved to town, Andrew worked with our schedule and showed us several properties. We have only had a couple maintenance requests, and they were handled quickly. Paying rent and communicating is easy through the company website. I really don't understand the negative reviews here. I used to be in the property management business, and Independence does a much better job than other companies I have worked with.

If you are looking to rent, buy, or have your property managed we highly recommend independence realty. My family and I are relatively new to the area and I have rented, bought a home and had property managed all through independence realty and I couldn't be more thankful and happy with the business they provided. Not only did they do awesome in everything I needed, but they also made me and my family feel so welcome in the community. 👍👍

Rented several vacation homes through Independence reality throughout the years, cannot say enough on the cleanliness, quality and value paid for the accommodations. Management team was quick, responsive and helpful on several occasions. Looking to book a week again this February with the family, love Leadville, views and Ski Cooper!

I hired IR to manage my property, and from what I can tell Andrew not only let people move in and move out without cleaning, I don't think he ever even did a drive by to look at the place. What a scam artist...he seems plenty interested in taking his cut, and promoting his vacation rentals, but could care less about his clients! Do NOT hire him....and if you rent from him be prepared to be unhappy. I see by his response he is again trying to blame someone else. I was warned about his practices when it comes to properties other than his own and didn’t listen.... now I understand why I was warned and am just trying to keep another property owner from making the same mistake I did. My tenants always get treated fairly...his don’t get calls back, clean properties, or someone they can deal with because this guy is too busy building his little empire in a small pond.... Not everyone will have as bad an experience with this company as I did, but I assure you he isn’t honest, easy to deal with, or fair, so just be aware and be careful. Oh, and BTW, Independence may tell you they “fired” me, but if I had known before he called me names and threatened to “fire” me that he had lied to my tenants I certainly would have fired him first!
