Here's what our customers are saying... |
Dear Wolfgang,
I hope you are having an enjoyable Summer.
I just wanted to thank you for the excellent and professional way you handled our purchase of land at SLVR. I visit your website
very often and review the informative information you have posted. The photos are great. I hope to visit next year with my
son and hopefully purchase another piece of land. Feel free
to use my name as a reference. We are very happy with our purchase. It was a true pleasure doing business with you and Jane.
Best wishes,
Millicent & Mildred - From New Jersey-emailed

Good Morning!
All the docs are in hand. Thank you for the nice "closing package." I will be happy
to let you post my very positive testimonial. This was a pleasant transaction in every way.
Robert F.-- 4/16/07 From Florida
My husband Mike and I had the great fortune of crossing paths with the Sattlers while
searching for a second home on the internet. We spoke one time to Wolfgang by telephone, visited the property and
conducted the entire purchase transaction by email. There were many times during the process of buying the home, that
was more than than 3.5 hrs away, that we thought "We don't know these people, we haven't met them, are we doing the right
thing". Each time, Wolfgang and Jane helped answer our questions and provided us solid information to help make our
next decision. We conducted the closing by mail, received our keys and now own our dream home in a quaint little city
in Southern Colorado. We could not be more thrilled. It turned out to be much more than we ever expected.
What was most impressive about the Sattlers was through every hairy twist and turn
of the property inspection, well certification and the education of buying a log home in a remote area, Wolfgang and Jane
were truly honorable and trustworthy people. We don't know of any other purchase we have made that was so seemless and
handled so wonderfully. If there was a problem, Wolfgang fixed it. If we had a question, Jane answered it. We
never felt as if we were bothering them and they never once made us second guess our decision to purchase the property. We
have recommended them to our family to make a land purchase, friends who are looking to buy a parcel and to anyone who is
considering buying in the Southern Colorado area. In fact, we would both say that the Sattlers have made us better people
by knowing them. We have adopted their attitude of helping, answering, guiding and directing people in the rental of
the home we purchased from them and hope to share our love of SLV with those who wish to visit and need a place to stay.
We highly recommend doing business with the Sattlers. We feel truly blessed to have found them and now consider them
friends!

"Several years ago, I was looking for some affordable
property to purchase in northern
New Mexico or
Southern Colorado when I practically stumbled on this
fella named Wolfgang who was selling a 5-acre lot
in
SLVR. After making my way over to San Luis to research the property, which was a lesson in a rich history and
culture,
my skeptical mind was put at ease and I
gladly purchased it from him at a very affordable
price. Since then, I have
seen Wolfgang build not only
what is a professional website, but an informative
guide to assist folks who are interested
in this
beautiful area. Wolfgang and Jane are truly
ambassadors to the San Luis Valley!" Sincerely,
Greg

"It was a pleasure dealing with Wolfgang and Jane. They kept all promises promptly
and kept up communication throughout our transaction." The McMahons from Chandler, AZ, January 2005
"I just want to re-iterate something I said in an e mail - you guys are the absolute
best. Anyone buying land from you will agree how straight forward you make it, how unstinting in your help, how nice it is
to know you. I'd love to stay in touch with you for ages, hopefully buy some more land from you, and just generally
enjoy your company over the net. Thanks for being such great people." ------Brenda Evans, Haywood, Lancashire, United Kingdom
"Just posting a compliment to you two for being so kind and setting aside the time to show us around, you truly are good
people."-Thanks Cory, Jessica and little Tristan
"Bought property from Wolfgang - he
is as honest as they come."
- David & Laurie O. -Lockport,

"Beautiful backdrop of Mt. Blanca, a dream come true. Very peaceful and away
from the "huscle and buscle" of city traffic in Washington DC/Virginia. I bought 10 acres back in October 2001 and visit there
from time to time. I want to personally thank Wolfgang and Jane for giving us the oppurtunity to own the most beautiful land
in the world."
- Frank and Dee D. - Fort Belvoir, VA.
"Purchased land from Wolf and Jane. LOVE our land at SDCR. Great,
honest people to work with. "

"Hello Jane/Wolfgang, Today I received the deed to property, I want to thank you very much and wish you both the very
best, Great doing business with you, Your New York friend, OG" (October 1, 2004)
"Please let your potential customers know that Cheryl and John are happy customers and have made
life long friends with Jane and Wolfgang. We are truly happy to have met you two. Your kindness and help has meant a lot to us." Houston, TX
"Vicky and I feel very lucky in finding
you! We had wanted to buy mountain property for quite a while in either
northern New Mexico or Southern Colorado. We had looked at numerous websites listing properties. And as good fortune would
have it, we finally found your website! By locating you and the property you list on your website, we have
been able to make part of our dream come true. "Building our home on the property will fulfill the whole dream!" The
property we purchased in SDRC is very beautiful and has a gorgeous and unobstructed panoramic view of the San Luis Valley
looking west and Mt. Blanca looking NNW. Your honest and very helpful approach in answering all of our questions and
your willingness to meet us at the property during March Spring Break in 2003 was most appreciated. You made us feel
very comfortable and confident in making a decision to purchase land from an internet based selection process! And your service
to your clients doesn't stop with the sale of the property! Both of you continue to go the extra mile in providing answers
to questions and keeping us up to date on things happening in the area. I am always eager to show friends and family the photographs
of the area and the property just so I can listen to their admiring comments. We look forward to meeting you again
and one day in the near future becoming neighbors! Thank you again for being the nice people you are and doing
what you do so well.....finding people the most beautiful parcels of land and picturesque views to purchase in the world!
When people tell me they are looking for property to buy, I refer them to your website! While the property we bought sold itself, you and Jane made purchasing it a very pleasant experience! Thanks again for all your help!" -Karl
and Vicky - Houston
ABOUT US
Back in 1967, Wolfgang's parents moved to Albuquerque and he would
take his family to visit down there several times a year. It was 400 miles from Lakewood to Albuquerque (versus 428 on the
Interstate) going through Fort Garland and Taos and usually they would take this scenic route. Coming back, you could see
the majestic Mt. Blanca towering ahead and Wolfgang fell in love with that beautiful part of Colorado. He bought his first
land in the Mt. Blanca Area in 1969. In those days, they advertised: "Own your own San Luis Valley Ranch for 50 Cents a day."
Yes, for $15 down and $15/month you could buy a five acre parcel in San Luis Valley Ranches and it was paid off in 10 years.
Eventually it became $25 down and $25 per month and later rose to $35. Pretty soon Wolfgang had 3 parcels in the San Luis
Valley Ranch Area. These first three parcels were in the "flat" area near the base of the mountain, known as Unit 6. When
he retired from the Bureau of Reclamation in 1994, he decided to build a cabin in the area, and now visits 12-15 times each
year.
About that time, he was trying to find some interesting activities and decided to buy and sell 5-acre parcels
in the Mt. Blanca Area. This has not become a big money maker - but it has become a great hobby. Learning to build a web-site,
making offers to current owners to be able buy some of these lots for a reasonable price, a tracing ownership in the County
records, and making out and recording deeds, etc. etc. is time consuming but fun.
When he met Jane in 1996, she had
a love of New Mexico and Southern Colorado as well and they started to go to the Mt. Blanca Area together. They got married
at the stroke of midnight starting the new Milenium in 2000 and Jane joined Wolfgang in this real estate venture. We presently
have many Mt. Blanca and SDCR parcels available and continue to make offers to have a good selection for potential buyers.
It is our philosophy to make the information available for interested people, encourage them to look over the area and inspect
the lots they are interested in, and then let the land sell itself. We never make any "sales calls" pushing or touting this
mountain land. If someone prefers to be shown the available parcels, we become ambassadors to the area- not our specific land
and there is never any sales pressure. In the last few years, Wolfgang and Jane have sold many parcels in the Mt. Blanca
area, and a sizeable group of the buyers have built cabins or homes or set up trailers and moved there or visit
often. We realized our dream in 2003 by building a small Spanish style home a few miles outside of Ft. Garland
in the SDCR area. We still live in our main residence up close to the Wyoming border and we drive 250 miles one way several
times a month to get down to Costilla County where our heart is in the land.
