John was thoughtful and thorough throughout the entire process. As a first time home buyer, his insights and patience were greatly appreciated!
Brennon Ellis
John was our realtor for both the sale and purchase of our new home. He is very knowledgeable and cares about his clients. The entire process was seamless and he was available, day/night/7 days a weeks, to answer questions, give advice, and talk us off the ledge. I would highly recommend Black Canyon Homes, as they have an excellent team.
Dan Herink
John and the team at Black Canyon Homes did an outstanding job on helping us buy our vacation home. Professional, strategic, responsive, excellent communication, and on top of all that just good people. The whole process was as close to flawless as you can get.
Erica Jones
This was the best buying experience I have ever had. And it was solely due to Jen and John! They went above and beyond during every aspect of the deal. Especially since the property we bought is literally in the middle of nowhere. If you're buying on the western slope, you'd be crazy to use any other realtor.
David Jones
John and Jen from Black Canyon went above and beyond what we could have ever expected. The wife and I were looking for our forever dream property. Once we found it they couldn't have made the process more easier for us. Constant communication, being extremely pro-active in getting things lined up for us to be able to not only secure a deal but close on time. If you're looking for a realtor in Western Colorado, these are the two you need to use.

John helped my wife and I purchase a beautiful home on the Grand Mesa. John is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate business and brings a unique set of tools to the clients that he represents. He is adept at negotiating in the best interests of his clients. He explains the strategies clearly for why a client should or shouldn't do something while making a deal, is quick to respond to questions, and quick to adapt strategies based on changes that might occur throughout the negotiation process. John insists on the integrity of all aspects of the real estate process and both my wife and I recommend John for any of your real estate needs. We look forward to working with him in the future.

John helped us purchase a home in Mesa and was extremely knowledgeable about the market and the process! He was great about driving to look at several remote locations and always responsive to our calls, texts, and emails. He is also fantastic about providing recommendations for putting together a strong and fair offer. We look forward to working with him again in the future.

Black Canyon Homes was amazing to work with. They were quick to get back to me. I inquired about a house and they scheduled a showing the very next day. They were always immediately available to answer my questions with a great response time. Super friendly staff that were great at communicating and always eager to help. Went went from the first showing to closing in 3 weeks, they were super fast and very proficient. would highly recommend them and will use them again.

John was an amazing realtor. He helped us with a very difficult purchase. We were moving to the Montrose area from out of state and had a very small time frame to find a new home. After a few attempts, that did not work out for us, John and his team worked through a very important weekend to their family just to help us. They spent many hours on the phone with us and helped us fine our forever home. We are truly grateful for all their help and the extra effort they gave us. I would happily recommend Black Canyon Homes to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Thank you John for not only helping David and I find a home but for putting up with the very impatient people we are! It’s been a long road, but here we are, closing on our home!! Thank you for driving the miles to literally anywhere we found a place to look at, it was very appreciated and completely unexpected!!
Eternally grateful!

Jordan is responsive and was instrumental in setting up contractors to go through the home. This provided an extra peace of mind when making this purchase.

If buying a house is supposed to be stressful, someone forgot to tell my realtor. John made the whole thing feel suspiciously easy—I kept waiting for something to go wrong, and it just… didn’t? Like, who is this man and how did he Jedi-mind-trick the entire process into being smooth and painless?
He answered every question I had (even the dumb ones), stayed on top of every little detail, and basically held my hand through the whole thing without making it weird. I felt supported, informed, and oddly calm the entire time—which is not my default setting.
Seriously, if you want a realtor who knows their stuff, keeps it real, and somehow makes real estate fun, John is your guy.

Working with Jen and her team was awesome! She's one of the most collaborative and communicative agents that I've had the pleasure of working with in my career and I look forward to the next opportunity to work through a transaction with her!
Melanie Gray
Just yesterday, I closed on my very first home in Delta, CO. I am very thankful to have been able to work with Jen Stein from Black Canyon Homes! She helped me look at multiple properties while explaining different aspects of homeownership, terms, ideal conditions and any questions I had about the process. She is very knowledgeable about the area, resources, and has excellent communication. I am thankful for her support through the entire journey, as well as her thorough perspective and ability to always think one step ahead.
I will definitely recommend Jen Stein and Black Canyon Homes to anyone looking to buy their next home.

Jordan is a real gem !! She helped us through every stage of our house hunting and buying process and we really came to rely on her direct and honest counsel and deep knowledge of the real estate in this area (western slope of Colorado). At every stage in the process she was totally "on" for the tasks at hand and proactively addressed all issues that arose ( and patiently explained to us the nuances of different issues) . We are so very grateful for her. She really goes above and beyond !!

Jen did an outstanding job navigating a unique situation with our house buying process. She advocated for us when needed and kept us well-informed throughout the process. Although closing on our house took longer than expected (which was not due to Jen at all), we always felt supported by her. She was consistently honest and upfront, something we truly appreciated. My family and I highly recommend Jen and her team.

Jen was incredibly helpful throughout the entire home-buying process, from first tour all the way down to closing. She even went above and beyond what I believe realtors would typically do (i.e. coordinating with contractors to make sure essential work to the house got completed) to give us the best experience possible.
