She was my realtor who became my friend & I would recommend her services to any buyer or seller.”

Jenna was very pleasant to deal with as well as professional. I have worked with a number of realtors in this area over the years and found Jenna May to be far superior to all others. Based upon my experience, I would highly recommend her and would use her again. Thanks Jenna, good luck to you.”

“We met Jenna at an open house 5 yrs ago on Mt. Crested Butte. She immediately made an impression on us as a hard working young realtor! She is diligent, honest and very smart, we knew we wanted Jenna to represent us as buyers when the right home came along. Little did we know it would take 4 yrs for that to happen but Jenna never missed an opportunity to take the time to show us a few properties every time we came to vacation in C. B. She knew what we wanted and kept looking for the right place until we finally found it! We are so happy and looking forward to spending a lot more time with Jenna as C.B. home owners! I highly recommend her as a realtor because they don’t get any better than Ms. Jenna May!”

Beverly & James B

“ I am writing this recommendation in gratitude for Jenna May’s impeccable professionalism. I have been working with Jenna for a little less than a year in search for a small home I hoped to be located on Mount Crested Butte. I had some detailed expectations.. such as a specific square footage, unobstructed views of the mountain along with a specific neighborhood. Jenna was determined to find my location and specifications. I knew the moment I reviewed the property that it was the perfect space for me, and it was everything plus a bit more than I imagined. Two weeks later we closed. Looking back at my experience with Jenna, I cannot believe how easily and quickly it all came to fruition. She truly is a class act with unlimited potential and determination. ”
