Lana Cordier Shelton – Re/Max Uptown

For a quick summary:
I really was satisfied with how responsive Andy (Lana’s associate) was at showing me places I wanted to see. That she helped me in finding something that was right for me. Finally, how she and Lana gave me the tools to close on my house and walked me through the mountain of questions I had. During this they helped me get a good deal during my negotiation and are still helping me as questions come up.
I really enjoyed working with Lana and Andy and will be working with them again when I purchase my next house.
Here are details for those that want to know more:
It took me about 3 months to find my house and close – which most of my friends were running on 7 or 8 months so I felt that we did a great job and I was happy to finally stop renting!
When I first met Andy I left my number and received a call from her during the week, but didn’t have a chance to return her call until the weekend. She called me back about 15 minutes later and I was very happy that she was so responsive (even on a Saturday). That was same during the entire process. I was also happy that she worked with my schedule all of the time and met me at many different times of the day. Even during times when I was out of town or we couldn’t connect she would do walkthrough videos for me and send them to me so I wouldn’t waste my time or would know where I wanted to really see it in person.
I also feel Andy and Lana helped me buy a house that was right for me – even though I had different ideas at first. I first went into the process wanting a detached home – but soon began to feel overwhelmed with everything. They helped me to realize that a townhome would be better for my current situation in life and I feel much more relaxed after purchasing my home that I didn’t take on something too much for me. They also helped me determine the type of layout I really wanted and the areas of Denver where I would find the house that I really wanted for my price range.
Finally, they helped me in the negotiation process and filling out my contract. I would provide Lana and Andy with a list of questions for almost every document I signed (probably 50 or 70 questions total) and they would go through the list with me and answer all of my questions. They never were bothered by my list of questions and always explained things until I understood and was comfortable. When it came time to my negotiation they helped me put in an offer that I felt comfortable with, considered a good deal, and that got accepted by the sellers without escalating negotiation like so many Denver houses. Even after the buying process Andy and Lana have helped me answer questions about service providers in the area – one of which I had to call only a few weeks after buying the house. It was nice to already have someone to call that was able to come so quickly to help me.
I plan to buy my next house with the help of Lana and Andy and would recommend her group to anybody looking for a house.

The prompt service from appraisal to photographs to advertisement to open house enabled me to get a sale within four days of listing. The closure went smoothly with knowledgeable help from her staff and escrow company. I could not find criticism or fault with any dealings.

I interviewed three other realtors before finding Lana, and I’m so glad I decided to work with her! I knew I would be out of state for most of the sales process so I needed someone I could trust, who could competently handle a complex transaction, and who would be easy to communicate with.
From our initial meeting I knew that Lana had the professional experience I was looking for. She and her team gave me a realistic assessment of my home’s value, backed it up with current market data and made some good recommendations for getting my home ready to sell. Lana has significant experience with the Denver market and was able to help identify some potential roadblocks to a quick sale. She did a great job educating me on the entire process so I could make informed decisions both before and after my house went on the market.
During the sales process Lana was incredibly responsive and available pretty much anytime I needed to talk with her. She kept me informed with each new development, and when we did run into snags she had had suggestions for how to overcome them. All in all, she helped make the whole process a lot smoother and less stressful than I expected it would be.
I wanted to sell my house as quickly as possible, for as much as possible, with as little hassle as possible… and Lana made that happen. I’m really glad I was able to work with Lana on the sale and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to sell or buy in Denver.

Lana is a very attentive and knowledgeable broker. I gave her a list of very precise requirements and within a month she was able to find me the perfect place. She works well over the phone or via text messages and all of the paperwork can be done digitally online. I will definitely be recommending her to all of my friends, family, and colleagues.

Lana made my first-​time home buyer experience safe, successful and enjoyable!
She helped me and my girlfriend at the time to buy a townhouse in Cherry Creek back in 2009. Well, back than we didn’t know what we wanted, so it took us about 25 showings to finally figure it out, but Lana was patiently working with us until we were able to narrow down the search. Her knowledge of neighborhood was outstanding and she could immediately point out different pros and cons of specific listings. When time came to negotiate the offer and set up an inspection she really earned every penny of her fee — negotiations with the Seller went very well.
Overall, Lana provided all the tools for a successful real estate transaction — knowledge of the area, expertise as a realtor and a lot of related connections.
When in April 2013 time came to sell the property — I didn’t think twice who should we work with. She was able to price the property right, and we got the offer that we accepted in 48 hours after listing the property. We haven’t closed yet, but I feel very safe with Lana in this transaction. Many thanks!
