Fantastic experience: Sam is amazing, one of the best real estate agents I have ever worked with. I greatly appreciated his really listening to what I wanted and thoughtful advice about and research on properties.
Fantastic experience: We had a great experience working with Sam while searching for a home in Estes Park, Colorado. He was incredibly patient and dedicated, showing us a wide range of properties and helping us explore different areas. Sam’s knowledge of the Estes Park area was especially valuable. He helped us understand the different neighborhoods and the realities of mountain living, like weather, access, and seasonal tourism. It’s a truly special place, with incredible scenery and endless opportunities for outdoor activities. We purchased a home that includes close-up visits from the local elk population and is reminiscent of our last home in Northport, New York. Sam was incredibly responsive, honest, and never made us feel rushed or pressured, and made sure we had the opportunity to see homes that were priced very competitively. If you’re looking to buy in the Estes Park area, we highly recommend working with Sam.
Fantastic experience: Sam was amazing throughout the entire homebuying process. Sam showed that he truly cares about his clients by going above and beyond as we purchased our new mountain getaway home. He is professional and very knowledgeable - I highly recommend using him as your realtor!
Thank you, Suzanne! It was a pleasure to serve you and help you find your home!
Fantastic experience: I've been with Sam for several years now. He has helped us procure a couple wonderful houses in Estes Park Colorado. I selected him after he won recognition as one of the best realtors in the town. He knows the area throughly and has intimate knowledge of many of the properties which interested me. My experience was so good with Sam that I turned to him immediately when considering another property in the area. I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend Sam and Alpine Legacy to anyone looking for property in the Estes Park Valley.
Thank you for your thorough review, Scott! I didn't know you found me through the Best of Estes results!
Fantastic experience: Sam Basel worked diligently with me for almost 2 years finding the perfect home in Estes Park while I lived across the country. He was professional, quick to respond to all my emails and toured every home I was considering. I have now purchased a 2nd home with Sam and once again had very attentive friendly service with no problems on a quick closing.
Thank you, Cindy! It was a pleasure working with you on BOTH your purchases in the last few years. :)
Fantastic experience: Sam and his team at Alpine Legacy worked with me every step of the way when I bought my condo in Estes Park when I was 25 years old. They are the best and I wouldn't be a homeowner without them.
I'm so happy I was able to help you find a great fit! There is something special about having a place to call your own! Especially in a place like Estes Park!
Fantastic experience: We had an excellent buying experience with Sam. He carefully listened to what we were looking for in a home, showing us several options over time. Sam contacted us immediately when our dream home came on the market! We looked at it and put a contract on it the very same day!!! Being first time homebuyers, he walked us through and made the process simple. We highly recommend Sam.
Thank you, Sarah! It was a pleasure working with you as well! It's not easy being a first time homebuyer in Estes Park, but we got the job done! It makes me happy to see you enjoying your home so much!
Fantastic experience: In search of a vacation home in Estes Park, CO, my husband and I reached out to Sam Basel at Alpine Legacy for help. Since we live out of state, we didn't know what to expect. From our 1st video call, Sam was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area. He took the time to get to know exactly what we wanted and gave us great advice based on what we were looking for in a property. He went above and beyond, even taking and sharing videos of the properties we were interested in. I never thought we would do this, but we felt so confident in Sam, we made a property purchase without physically seeing it first. We love our new place in Colorado and were very happy with our experience working with Sam.
Thank you for the trust you put in me while we searched for that perfect property from afar! It was a pleasure working with you!

Fantastic experience: Alison was wonderful to work with, and being a realtor myself, I know the amount of work she did behind the scenes to make this transaction happen smoothly. She went above and beyond organizing inspections and supporting us with local referrals. I look forward to working with her in the future!
Fantastic experience: We have worked with Alpine Legacy since 2015. They have represented us in both buying and selling properties in Estes Park, and each time it has been a great experience. Alison Gilbert got us into our last property before it came to market, and most recently helped us navigate overlapping buy/sell transactions smoothly in a very tricky environment. Having a true local expert in Estes Park is a must, and we would definitely work with Alison and her team again.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been looking for a summer cabin to purchase close to the mountains in Colorado for what seemed like forever. Recently we were researching property for sale near the Rocky Mountain National Park. Due to our search we were contacted by Pamela Jeffery, with Alpine Legacy Realty. Pamela is wonderful, she is very knowledgeable about the area and truly loves living near the Mountians, and Estes Park. We enjoyed getting to know Pamela while viewing property. She sincerely listened to us and selected properties that met our criteria. Pamela went the extra mile to obtain answers to the many questions we had. We never felt rushed or pressured. And with Pamela's help we made an offer and purchased a lovely little cabin; we are thrilled. We definitely would contact Pamela and Alpine again for any real-estate needs in Estes Park.
Fantastic experience: Our family has both bought and sold properties through Alison with Alpine Legacy and we would definitely recommend her as your agent. As a business owner, corporate president and commissioner , integrity and ethics are paramount traits I desire in people I do business with. Alison is a five start person of tremendous integrity. Make the call.
Fantastic experience: Pamela Jeffery was awesome acting as our buyer's agent. She made our buying experience run very smoothly.
Fantastic experience: Alison Gilbert was outstanding in helping us find our new home. We were always updated on what was recently available or coming soon which was critical in the fast paced market in Estes Park. Her knowledge of the town and all aspects of the market there is exceptional. Her abilities with the contracts is comprehensive. She was always available, prompt and patient with many challenges that we faced. She’s thorough, very organized, thoughtful, and helpful in many ways. Thanks Alison!
Fantastic experience: We are looking for purchase property in Estes Park , we spoke to couple agent and we choose go with Alison Gilbert and we not regret, It was very stressful to find property in CO when we leave in FL . Alison is very professional, patient and she help with a great advice. I would for sure recommend her to anyone .
Fantastic experience: Alison Gilbert was an amazing realtor, she always gave us 110%. She made our house search easy and felt like we were her only clients. Even though we were looking for a place out of state she made it possible to see our property with face time so we were able to feel like we were there. She was always available for us and always answered our questions. She made our house purchase possible and felt like if we would have had another realtor we wouldnt have been able to purchase the home that we did. We would recommend her highly and not hesitate to use her again in the future.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Nicole White of Alpine Legacy to find a permanent home in Estes Park in a very challenging housing market during the fall-winter-spring of 2021-2022. Nicole was very professional and also quite resourceful in trying to identify a home within my budget and in neighborhoods I was most interested in living. She was also very knowledgeable about the Estes Park area and provided helpful insights on a number of properties. After looking for months at various properties in and around Estes, Nicole was able to identify a particular property with interested sellers in an off-market situation in my first-choice neighborhood. We were able to come to terms and now I'm delighted to be moving into my new home in Estes Park. I would definitely recommend Nicole White and the Alpine Legacy staff as a communicative, professional, and effective real estate agent and agency group. I always felt that Nicole was in my corner, working to help with all of the particulars associated with an out-of-state home search and eventual move-in. I'm very pleased that Nicole and the Alpine Legacy team were my realtors throughout this entire adventure.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I were looking for land in the Estes Park area for investment and a future build site. We ended up with a beautiful property at the top of Storm Mountain complete with living quarters and out buildings that we can use as is and still plan for the future build. So much more than we expected in large part because Allison is a local and knows whats going on. The entire experience went very smooth. We highly recommend Alpine Legacy. Thank You Allison!
Fantastic experience: Beginning simply with a dream to own property in Estes Park, and personally not being super savvy as to what the process and timeline might ultimately be, Nicole provided rock-solid guidance and always with utmost kindness and professionalism. Nimbly navigating twists and turns along the journey, Nicole and her team were always upbeat, and super responsive -- always available at a moment's notice. It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Nicole and the Alpine Legacy team.
Fantastic experience: Sam Basel was great to work with all around. First and most importantly, he listened carefully to our needs and desires, and then came back with recommendations based carefully on what he had heard from us. There was no false pressure or any attempt to steer us towards something we did not want. He was also patient and took care to refine our potential choices of condos based upon not just what we told him but what he observed as we visited several different places. He always followed up, quickly, with extra information that he did have at hand. On top of all this, he is a nice man who clearly likes to do things well and professionally, in a friendly, low key, but focused way. We could not have been happier with our "Sam experience". John Calderazzo
It was a pleasure to work with you, John. My favorite transactions are when I make a friend or two in the process!
Fantastic experience: Alison and the team at Alpine Legacy stuck with us on a long (4-year) journey to move into a new home in a very challenging real estate and construction market. She was friendly, attentive, detail-oriented, and highly communicative. We felt she was truly our advocate and represented our interests. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Nicole was really professional. Very responsive and worked with me especially since most of our communications were from 2100 miles apart. She was very helplful through closing. Thank you again Nicole!
Fantastic experience: I have worked with a lot of different realtors over the years but the service I received from the staff at Alpine Legacy was the best experience I’ve ever had. Alison and Sam were fantastic to work with. Both are very knowledgeable and they worked hard to exceed my expectations. There were some challenges that arose leading up to the close of our purchase and Alison and Sam were instrumental in resolving those issues. Their knowledge of the area real estate market and customer service are second to none. Next time I buy property in the Estes Park area it will be with the assistance of the wonderful staff at Alpine Legacy. UPDATE 10/2021- Since my original review in 2019 Alison and the team at Alpine Legacy, eXp Realty have helped me with three real estate transactions in Estes Park. In each transaction Alison went above and beyond, if you are looking for a realtor in Estes Park look no further.
Fantastic experience: Allison did a wonderful job bringing a buyer for our home.
Fantastic experience: Nicole at Alpine Legacy is a fantastic Realtor. We were looking at properties in the Estes Park area during the pandemic and from another state. She was able to show us several places via zoom and provided valuable expertise and input on the area. Nicole is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her for your real estate needs.
Fantastic experience: We interviewed two other realtors and ultimately chose Alison and her team with Alpine Legacy to sell our home on Storm Mountain in Drake, CO. It was important to us they had active listings and recent sales in our area. We listed our home on 8/7/20 and the decks were stacked against us with Covid, increased inventory, active wild fires and a 3 week evacuation....but Alison came through for us! She always answered our phone calls....every time! Every thing from beginning to end went smooth and most importantly the sale went through and we closed on 11/13/20! It only takes one buyer and Alison and her team found the right one! Alison and her team are very knowledgeable, true professionals and made the entire experience seamless! Thanks again! We highly recommend Alison and Alpine Legacy.
Fantastic experience: Alison did a great job helping us purchase our home. Her professionalism, attention to details and timely service made this acquisition a seamless process. Alison came highly recommended to us and we would strongly recommend her for your next home purchase.
Fantastic experience: Let me start by saying I am a very picky home shopper and have worked with many realtors in my lifetime. My wife and I reached out to Alpine Legacy many years ago when we found a house that met our desires and criteria, Alison showed us the house even though there was already a pending offer. Over the next several years, Alison and Sam found and showed us many homes and unique properties with the highest level of diligence and integrity you could ask for. I assure you it is rare for a realtor to have to work as long and hard as Alison did before we finally found our amazing home in Allenspark! If you have high standards in home preference and want the best care and attention possible during every stage of the process, you have found the best Realtor in Estes Park! Chose Alpine Legacy, you won't be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: The Alpine Legacy professionals have helped me with several recent real estate transactions. I have been impressed with their service. Their accurate judgment as to what constitutes a fair price, whether buying or selling a property, is something I have come to trust and depend on.
We've always enjoyed working with you, John! Best wishes on all your ventures!
Fantastic experience: Sam has worked with us several times when we were buying a home or property or selling. Each time he was professional, responsive and got the job done to our satisfaction. He's always taken great care of us we think he's the best!
Thank you, Janie! I appreciate you and Frank and wish you well!

Fantastic experience: Alison from Alpine Legacy was great to work with. I had been working with her for many months to try and find the right property. After getting discouraged many times, she told me not to worry and that something would finally come along. 2 weeks, we finally closed on a wonderful vacation rental up there and all my gratitude goes to Alison for continuing to follow up with me and going out of her way to help me get certain things setup since I live in Texas. Thanks again to Alison and Alpine Legacy we are now homeowners in Estes Park!
Fantastic experience: Sam Basel of AlpineLegacy did a great job selling my house in Estes Park, CO. He made the process pain free and I got a great price. I had interviewed two other local realtors prior to talking to Sam. He was clearly more knowledgeable of the Estes Park market and presented me with a sales plan at our first meeting. My house sold in less than a week after listing.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic people. Friendly and professional. It was a joy working with them and I highly recommend you give them a call!
Fantastic experience: Honest people that just want to see you in a great new home! Extremely competent.
Fantastic experience: Julie is absolutely perfect to work with! She found us exactly what we were looking for and made the entire process carefree. I highly recommended Alpine Legacy and Julie!

You can't go wrong working with them, if you're buying or selling in the Estes Park area. We can't say enough good about them!
Fantastic experience: We currently live in New Jersey. Our dream was to purchase a property in Estes Park or the surrounding area. I first spoke with Sam Basel in 2008, and told him of our dream to eventually move to the area. I am happy to say that with Sam's help and the help of the Alpine Legacy Team, we closed on a piece of land just minutes outside of Estes Park, in December. What sets Sam, Julie, and Alison apart is their ability to listen to us as customers and present many options. There was never any pressure from Sam or the Alpine Legacy Team. Sam Basel is a man with integrity, as well as the members of his team. We am so thankful to have worked with such a great group of people. I highly recommend this agency.
Fantastic experience: Sam, Julie, and Alison personalize your experience. From the way they post their real estate with personal experiences of the sellers to helping folks find their way. They make recommendations to help new owners and definitely show a lot of care in their interactions. I have to say that buying a retirement home or whatever your needs are will definitely be a lot easier with their help.
