From start to completion of my sale, Tony O'Brien was very competent to find a buyer and the sale went very smoothly with Tony leading the way. The sale and closure was complete in a months time. Also, Tony followed up on a quick return of my maintenance fee from Vail Assoc. to me! I recommend him highly as I have worked with him since the late 80's until the present with always a very satisfied experience. I truly recommend him for a purchase or resale experience! A lucky find!!!!!!

Tony was extremely accommodating and helpful as we scheduled a same day showing of a unit during our last day in Beaver Creek before heading back home. He was very responsive with the many questions that followed in the days after up to and leading to our offer, especially as we are new to fractional ownership. Highly recommended any future plans will definitively include Tony O’Brien.
