Home Waters Real Estate

We had such a great experience selling our home and property with Joe Risi at Home Waters Real Estate in Carbondale! From day one, Joe made the whole process feel way less stressful than we expected. He really knows the local market and gave us solid, honest advice about pricing and getting our home ready to list. Once it hit the market, things moved smoothly and Joe kept us in the loop the entire time. He was always quick to respond, answered all our questions (big and small), and handled the negotiations like a pro. We always felt like he had our back. The best part? Closing the deal and heading straight to The Tipsy Trout in Basalt to celebrate. It felt like the perfect way to wrap up such a positive experience with Joe who we now consider a friend.

We had been looking for houses in the Crystal River area for several years, but it wasn't until we started working with Mike and Joe that we were able to complete a purchase. There was limited inventory in the areas we were looking and there were actually no homes on the market that met our criteria. Mike and Joe took the time to drive neighborhoods with us and figure out what would meet our needs. We appreciated their knowledge of the market and connections within the community.

Their connections were also helpful after the close as they recommended local businesses to complete needed repairs. As out-of-state buyers, tr

Joe Risi made our dream a reality. Our dream location felt out of reach, but thanks to Joe, we were able to sell our current home quickly and buy our dream property. At a challenging time in late fall going into winter. We truly believe it wouldn’t have happened without him – his networking, dedication, responsiveness, and overall drive to make it happen. Joe can problem-solve through anything. His resources, connections, and commitment were a huge help throughout the process. We also deeply appreciated the trust Joe fostered throughout the transaction, allowing us to build positive relationships with both our buyers and sellers – something that’s rare and especially meaningful in our close-knit community. It’s a great feeling. Thank you for everything, Joe! We highly recommend working wit

Mike Shook is perhaps the most skilled, talented, and well-informed realtor I have ever met. He is respected throughout the region, and deeply admired for his kind, honest, and hard working approach to his work. There is no doubt in my mind that it was only because of his charm and fair negotiating style that we were able to purchase our home in Carbondale during a competitive and fast moving market. He also happens to be a wonderful guy. Combine that with his knowledge and talent and you have a very special combination. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

I will always work with Joe. He represented both sides of the sale and did so with excitement, optimism, professionalism and respect for both sides. As I was dreaming of my new home he was just as excited as I was. His responsiveness and willingness to meet every demand and requisite was unparalleled. I will always recommend him to anyone seeking a home in our valley. Lastly, with him being engrained in our valley he is a true advocate for our communities and holds a wealth of knowledge.
