Testimonials

Lance went far beyond what any other realtor would do to sell my house. The house is a very remote mountain cabin so I expected it to take forever to sell but Lance used his marketing skills to find buyers in no time at all. He even used his previous banking experience to help the buyers secure a loan and insurance. I can't thanks Lance enough for his efforts and I will personally recommend Lance for any real estate transactions.

I can’t thank you enough for all of your help in making my move to Cody seem so effortless. I have felt so well taken care of by you – way more than I would have expected from a realtor. You have been a big part of part of this monumental change that I have made in my life – and I will be forever grateful.

What are some qualities you look for in a realtor? Trust, honesty, accessibility, forthrightness, someone who will take the time to get to know and understand you and your ideas and dreams so that they can find you your dream home. Lance Bower is all of those things! We live in Maryland and are looking forward to becoming Wyomingites. I started talking with Lance by phone. After much searching and many discussions over about three months, we narrowed our search to around 20 homes and flew to Cody for five days to look them over. Lance spent several days driving us around the Cody/Powell area. When we found our "dream home" he didn't stop there. He negotiated a fair price for the property and also gave us referrals for a lender and an inspection officer. Even after we went back to Maryland, Lance helped us through the inspection and settlement process via phone calls and emails. He worked with the seller and the seller's realtor to get things done prior to and even after settlement. If you want a realtor who has your back, you want Lance Bower. We are way excited to move to our dream home!

Thank you for you wonderful service in purchasing our new home in Cody. Your office was highly recommended and you met our every expectations… and more!

We appreciate your willingness to meet our time line - even on a busy weekend. The communication, the knowledge, expertise, planning and follow though made the search a pleasure. The arduous paperwork (on our side) and final completion are a success because you and your whole office truly care - we were successful.

Our experience with Lance at Canyon Real Estate was such a great one! We have absolutely no complaints with how the entire process went. Lance was extremely kind and helpful in listening to both our needs and our wants. He never made us feel pressured to buy something we couldn't afford or weren't interested in. He was very proactive in searching out listings for us and always giving us a heads up if something new came on the market. The house we ended up purchasing was one Lance found for us and we couldn't be happier with how everything went. He was extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and very available to answer all of our questions and to spend time taking us to look at different properties. We felt like we were family and we would highly recommend Lance to anyone interested in buying or selling a home.

Imagine living in a home where the views from every window are towering snowcapped peaks in all directions, as inspiring as any cathedral. Imagine living in a place where your neighbors are mule deer, elk, bighorn sheep and the occasional grizzly bear. Those were the dreams my wife and I imagined and now have realized as a reality, thanks to the efforts and professionalism of Rita Lovell. We were not certain that we could find the perfect location, and one that would fit within our budget, but Rita was determined to find it for us and we are so thankful that she was able to do so.

Consistent follow up, no pressure, knowledge and professionalism are earmarks of Rita's business practices, along with complete honesty and concern for her clients. We recommend her highly and consider to be more than merely a passing business acquaintance. If you are in the market for real estate in the Cody area, look no further than Canyon Real Estate. And we would be remiss if we did not also mention the fine work done on our behalf by Rita's assistant, Theresa.

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our dream of owning property in Wyoming a reality. The first time we visited Yellowstone and the Cody area was in August 2005. And each year after we would return to Yellowstone and the Cody area. We saw affordable land in other parts of Wyoming, however, our hearts were set on Park County. We planned another visit to the Cody area in October 2014. And we were determined that this year we are going to become Wyoming land owners. We contacted a few agents well in advance of our Wyoming arrival in hopes to have some properties scheduled to look at. It seems that our budget was not quite large enough for those agents to spend their time helping us. We decided to look for property on our own. One of the properties had a Canyon Real Estate Sign. We contacted Rita about the property. Rita told us about a different property that she just received the information on. She told us the acreage, told us the price and said she could meet us there in an hour and half. How is that for service. We met Rita at the property on a Friday evening, we made an offer on Saturday, and closed on the property 4 weeks later. The process was very smooth. Rita was very knowledgeable of the property and even though the property was not a million dollar property, Rita still treated us as if it was. She answered every phone call, every email and every question as if we were her most important customer. We are very grateful for Rita making this a smooth transaction with us residing in West Virginia. We highly recommend Rita and her staff at Canyon Real Estate.

Wanted to thank you for finding the home / property of our dreams. We are extremely happy with the property. Rita worked tirelessly at being the middle person in the transaction we can't thank you enough.

You had asked if I would like to gather a few thoughts pertaining to our (Frances and I) impressions as we interfaced with you during the listing and the ultimate selling of our house.

My first impression was the professional package you brought us showing the features of our house; you included photos of the interior rooms, all views of the exterior log structure, the views of the Beartooth Mountains, the large acreage, even the log entry. This you did before there was a contract.

You counseled us as we consummated the appropriate asking price in view of the current economic retail market. Throughout the thirty-six months of showings, you excelled in patience, and wisdom. Not once did you exhibit a negative stance as other realtors would show "your house"

You successfully walked us through the many obstacles of escrow closure without loosing your buyers or your sellers! Apparently all participating parties were happy as they concluded the three year epic of real estate finesse. Congratulations!!!

May the wind stay at your back.
