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.

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!

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

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. 👍👍

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 was a tenant for nearly 5 years in a property managed by Independence. I found their team to be highly responsive to any and all concerns from the very beginning. Additionally, I have seen firsthand their support and level of engagement in this community.

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
