We closed on our fourth Steamboat mountain home this year and meeting Angela was the best thing to happen to us in our search. We’ve been coming twice a year for five years and she had been showing us Steamboat on every visit. She always made time for us and sent notifications to us so we knew when things came on the market. She very quickly figured out our needs and was so patient and knowledgeable in the search. But she really shined when we found what we wanted. Being out of state, she was truly our eyes and ears for negotiations with the sellers and with the HOA. She assisted us with all aspects of the closing process including, 1031 exchange, inspection issues in which she climbed in the crawl space herself to inspect damage. Even after closing, she is helping us with deliveries and fix-up items. We couldn’t have done it without you, Angela!

Angela took away my anxiety from selling my home. I have had bad experiences with realtors who value their speed to their income over owner support/satisfaction through this major life event. Angela was introduced to me through a colleague in her NextHome business group who I used to buy my new home in another state.
Angela showed up at my Steamboat home with a paper writing pad and an electric writing pad. She did not drop a huge pile of marketing material on my table and proceed to sell herself. She walked my home with me discussing how to go about my sale and ascertaining what my objectives were. We each generated a sale price based on market data - hers better than mine. We came up with the same number to meet my objective of a swift sale and not a gouging exercise. My house sold in 7 days. We closed in short order (2 weeks I recall) for cash buyer. Angela organized a great plumber to fix two issues to meet closing - same day service which is normally impossible in Steamboat Springs (think 2 months).
Could I have asked for a higher sale price - yes, would I have gotten it - probably no. Would my house have been on the market a lot longer than I desired - yes. Right price - fast sale, Angela got the job done.
Bottom line - I would use Angela for buying or selling a home in Steamboat Springs if you want a realtor on your side devoted to making a deal you want with minimum stress.

She is a true professional, with many years of experience in the real estate listings and sales. She will keep you involved every step of the transaction. She cares about you personally and I highly recommend her as your Real Estate Professional.
I will continue to use her in the future, and I considered her my friend.

Professional, knowledgeable, focused, reliable and personable. These are the qualities that come to mind hen thinking of our interaction with Donna Mae. We rarely, if ever saw a property that didn't fit our parameters. As a result of her advice and guidance we purchased a property that we love. I could not recommend her more highly.

My wife and I have been working with Angela for over 2 years….so that we could find the perfect place in Steamboat Springs. In that time Angela was always available for any questions or inquiry’s that we had. She is very professional, but more importantly, very personable about how she goes about her business. Her knowledge of the area is second to none! Even though we live 3 ½ hours away in Franktown, Co….she made us feel like we had an advocate in Steamboat. The best part of working with Angela, is that we found the perfect place at a great price!

Angela and her team are fantastic to work with. Over the past few years they’ve helped us sell 2 properties and buy 2 properties.

We first met Angela in the Fall of 2019 upon the recommendation of an excellent real estate agent we had worked with in Denver. We were not disappointed. We were hoping to find a place that would accommodate our family (3 grown children and 3 young grandchildren), as well as offer potential for some rental income. Prior to our visit, she asked us a series of questions about what we were interested in. We looked at five properties initially, all lovely, and very different. Although we didn’t settle on a place during that trip, Angela kept in constant contact with us, and sent properties that had just come onto the market and/or had upcoming open houses. In late December she found the PERFECT place for us – a beautiful townhome in a well-kept complex, nestled in a beautiful forested area that was still within very close proximity to the ski area. Through her very diligent persistence, we were able to close the deal. While under contract, Angela and her affiliated staff were very helpful and always available for questions related to finding a local mortgage company and walking us through the closing process. As Angela had so accurately noted “purchasing a mountain vacation property was a little different from buying a home in Denver”. She set up interviews with prospective property managers, and was always available for questions related to the HOA, potential rental income, home inspection and contractor services, consignment store locations, and just finding our way around the town and ski area. Her input was invaluable as we were somewhat new to what the community had to offer. Even after closing she made herself available for questions related to moving in and making our new property rent-friendly. In short, she was kind, patient, insightful, knowledgeable and indispensable throughout the search and purchase of our beautiful Steamboat property.

We both bought and eventually sold our Steamboat condo with Donna Mae and we appreciated both her professionalism and compassion for both her profession and life. We felt she always had our best interest at heart and highly recommend having Donna Mae represent either side of a transaction.

If you are looking for a Real Estate agent who gets it done, Angela Ashby would be my recommendation. Angela is knowledgeable of her market. Her experience allows her to ask all the right questions. Angela is nice person who worked very hard to make sure we were happy with our purchase.
My family dreamed of owning a house in Steamboat Springs for 15 years. We decided to make it happen in 2020 and, of course, there were many challenges to overcome in the year of Covid 19. The biggest challenge we faced was doing this remotely from across the country. I had my doubts that it could be done. Angela made it happen. She spent hours taking us through video tours of homes and explaining the pros and cons of each. Once we figured out what we were looking for, Angela's guidance through the offer, inspection and closing were invaluable. We did not actually step into the house until the day we arrived to move in, but thanks to all of Angela's hard work we found our dream home and could not be happier.

Donna Mae is wonderful to work with. As a generational Steamboat native, her knowledge and expertise is beyond compare. She helped us purchase a home in Steamboat and we could not ask for a better realtor. Donna Mae is very responsive, communicative, knowledgeable and patient. We also appreciate her honest opinions and insight. She also provides great guidance in the closing and contract process. She has a plethora of contacts to help with financing, the home inspection and needed repairs. I highly recommend Donna Mae and I will definitely use her again in the future.

Donna was so knowledgeable and helpful for us in selling our home! I would highly recommend her for anyone thinking of buying or selling. She knows the Steamboat area so well.

Angela and her team did an amazing job with the sale of our house. She navigated around tenant's schedules like a pro and got us multiple offers within a few hours. But what impressed me the most is her kind heart and fun spirit. I really enjoyed getting to know her and look forward to a few cocktails on the patio.

We decided to sell our home in Steamboat after living in it for 35 years. We didn’t know what the process would look like or how to work with a realtor. Angela far exceeded our expectations. She made everything as clear and easy for us as possible. She was always available to us by text, phone, or email even when out of town. She knew when a conversation would be better in person and invariably offered to come to us. As the local housing market cooled off, she stepped up her promotion of our home and got us an offer. In the weeks before closing, she made things happen. She found a handyman for a few last-minute repairs and coordinated his work. She figured out the transfer of our solar panels, made sure some last-minute Marketplace transactions happened, hired someone to do our move out clean, and most importantly, doublechecked the closing documents for accuracy. She made an overwhelming - and sometimes stressful - process feel manageable. Angela was an acquaintance when we signed a contract with her and now she’s a friend.

Planning our family's move to Steamboat, Angela was recommended to us from a friend that has lived in Steamboat for more than twenty years and is familiar with many of the local realtors. We worked with Angela for approximately eighteen months and have now completed our second purchase with her. We purchased our primary house that we live in and also an investment property. Purchasing two properties with Angela is a testament in and of itself to her professionalism, knowledge, real estate acumen and local connections. We now consider Angela a friend and will continue our relationship beyond real estate.

Without any hesitation I would say that Angela Ashby provides everything a person could need when buying or selling a home. My husband and I have depended on Angela in both instances and found her to be extremely competent, ethical and knowledgeable, with a calm and supportive manner which inspires confidence throughout the entire transaction. She is a warm, caring professional who I would be more than happy to recommend, and in fact, hope to be working with in the near future.

Donna Mae helped us set a price to sell our business and then we contacted her to help us buy a house and she was great. We started looking and had her show us some houses only for us to find out that we had some isssues to take care of before we could complete a purchase. It took some time but when we were finally ready to buy a new home she was right there with information about a perfect lising just coming on the market. She has patience and enthusiasm with a lot of knowledge of the real estate business. She has contacted us since we moved in to see how everything is going and is genuinely interested in her clients. We highly reccomend using her, wether you are buying or selling.

Angela was wonderful to work with! She was an incredible help through the whole process. We appreciated her fantastic attention to detail and her ability to anticipate the next hurdle and have a plan to overcome it. She looked out for potential issues (and had a solution in the works already) for things we didn't even realize could have been a problem for us. It was very nice to feel like we had someone in our court every step of the way, from accommodating our tight schedule to distilling all the issues down to bite-sized bits of information we could make decisions on quickly.

Donna Mae Hoots was a very knowledgeable real estate agent familiar with the Steamboat Springs market. She was available to meet with me while I was on vacation and had up-to-date information on property inventory which matched my needs. Donna Mae was in frequent contact after I returned home through a very user-friendly web site where current properties were listed. When we found a great property Donna helped manage the process of making the initial offer through each step until closing.

Working with Angela and the NextHome Team was the absolute BEST decision we made in purchasing a home. They worked with us and accommodated our schedules, needs, and hopes throughout the entire process. As first time homebuyers, Angela balanced offering us her honest opinion, and giving us space to process and decide what to do.
Homebuying is intimidating, but with Ang and the team, it was an AMAZING process.

We would highly recommend Donna Mae Hoot’s at NextHome. She is very professional and knowledgeable about the local housing market.
From the start, she provided us with all the information we needed to make an informed decision on the sale of our home and was with us every step of the way providing us with support and answers we needed. We were always kept informed throughout the entire process and she responded promptly to questions or inquiries from both sides. She made a very emotional situation go smoothly. We were extremely pleased with Donna Mae and her team. Thank you Donna Mae!

Angela helped us buy our new home and sell our prior home and we couldn't be happier working with her. She is very knowledgeable, insightful and experienced with the real estate market.

We really look forward to working with her again in the future.

We have had the privilege of having Donna Mae as our realtor in Steamboat Springs for two real estate transactions. Donna Mae helped us purchase a home and she also helped sell a home. Donna Mae listened to our needs and desires and made sure that those were met. We purchased our home when the real estate market was very hot for sellers during Covid and she guided us with the necessary steps to allow us to have our offer accepted amongst multiple offers. When we sold our house the real estate market had changed and it was much harder for sellers to sell their home, however Donna Mae’s vast knowledge from her years of experience as a realtor enabled us to make the right decisions to sell our house. Donna has great people and communication skills as well. We highly recommend Donna Mae for anyone wanting to purchase or sell a home in the Steamboat Springs area!

Angela is an outstanding real estate professional who does the extra work to make the process of selling your home as easy and stress-free as possible. She helped me sell my house in Silver Spur in less than a week for over asking price and then supported me completely as I navigated the challenges of moving out of a home I’d lived in for more than eight years to a much smaller place in Denver. Angela had my back and talked me through the ups and downs of the home-selling process and made it all a very positive experience. She is absolutely the best, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

My husband and I recently purchased a rental property in Steamboat and we could not have gotten the deal done without Angela! We live out of town and were unable to see the property in person before we put an offer on it. Without hesitation, Angela went over to the property to take a video for us and explained every detail of the condo to us. We were hesitant to put an offer on the property sight unseen, but Angela eased our nerves and was there to answer ALL of our questions. Angela was available for us no matter what time and was a huge advocate for us throughout the process. We are so excited to have a great place in Steamboat! Thank you Angela for everything!

Angela did a fantastic job selling a house in Steamboat for me. She took charge of all the details preparing the house and staging. I was able to be absent during the entire process. Angela kept me up to date and informed. It was such a relief to have such a capable person and team involved. She made great recommendations each step of the way, and fortunately for me, received a reasonable offer that ended with a closing without any difficulties. I will be forever grateful….

Donna kept us up to date on listings meeting our criteria and worked with our daughter in Denver to schedule a face-time walk-through for the property we really liked so we could make a successful offer. She then assisted us through closing-couldn’t be happier with Donna-would reach out to her again for knowledgeable real estate assistance in Colorado!

Donna Mae is professional, dedicated and a really nice person. In addition, she is a fantastic realtor and gets things done! Donna Mae's family comes from generations of ranchers in the Yampa Valley. She knows Steamboat and environs well, and finds properties which suit the client. I bought the first condo she showed me, and have been happy ever since. Recommend Donna Mae highly and without reservation.

Angela is a first-rate Realtor. She sold our condo in Steamboat very quickly. She provided expert advice on staging. The sale price was exceptional. Can’t say enough good things about her!

After interviewing a few sales agents, we decided to have Angela represent us in the sale of our vacation property. Her presentation was concise, straight forward and easy to understand. Her staging of our home was transformative!!
Since we would be out of state for the process, she had no problems handling the many final details that would arise prior to closure. Following acceptance of a buyer's bid a few issues arose that needed to be resolved. Due to her many relationships with builders and subcontractors, they were resolved quickly and without fanfare. Angela kindly sent us personal items that remained prior to closing on our home. We ended the rather pleasant process from beginning to end in less than eight weeks.
We feel we made an excellent choice and would use her services again in either a buying or selling situation.

I had the pleasure of working with Angela once again, years after she initially helped me find my townhome in a time-sensitive situation. Recently, she assisted in selling the same property, and her exceptional service has left me thoroughly impressed yet again.
Angela's attention to detail is unparalleled. From the initial staging to the final sale, she ensured that every aspect was meticulously handled. Her dedication to follow through is remarkable; I never had to wonder about the progress of the sale because she kept me consistently informed.
What sets Angela apart is her profound market knowledge. She understands the nuances of the real estate landscape. Her insights were invaluable in navigating the complexities of selling a property. Furthermore, Angela's responsiveness is unmatched. No matter the time or day, she was always quick to address any questions or concerns I had.
In summary, Angela is a consummate professional who excels in her field. Her expediency, timeliness, attention to detail, and market expertise make her an invaluable asset to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking a seamless and rewarding real estate experience.

Donna Mae helped us purchase two properties in the area. She is a true professional and made the entire experience seamless and stress-free.
One of the standout qualities of Donna Mae is her exceptional communication skills. She kept us informed at every stage, promptly responding to our queries and providing clear explanations. Even after the sales she continued to stay in communication and would quicky respond to all of our questions.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Donna Mae to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate professional. Her expertise and communication skills make her an outstanding realtor.

Positive, Professionalism, Responsiveness
Our experiences with Angela have been exceptional. We were looking to capitalize on the market growth but also downsize and stay in the Steamboat area. Angela MADE IT HAPPEN for us which is no small miracle!
We had our home listed and under contract quickly. Angela was diligent in looking for options for our "replacement" property. She came up with suggestions, that I, even after 30 years of living in Steamboat, had not thought of. She found the perfect place for us and acted quickly to get us in the property under contract. Her relationships in the with other Brokers, but also Title companies and Banking representatives were a key piece to smooth and successful transactions on both our sale and purchase.
She is well respected in the Real Estate Field, but also in the Steamboat Community. I cannot emphasize enough how valuable it is to have a person of good ethics & morals that you can put your trust in when you are making LIFE decisions. We cannot put into words how thankful we are for everything she did for us every step of the way.

Donna Mae was fantastic to work with and in the end, secured a strong result for us. Donna Mae helped us purchase our property in steamboat roughly five years ago. We gladly worked with Donna Mae again to sell it and pushed for a high price to test the high end market. With patience, Donna Mae aligned on that strategy and ended up selling well above local comps. The process was smooth, quick and Donna Mae is always great to work with.
