red feather lakes agent: Custom Log Home Red Feather Lakes CO - 08/02/18 10:41 AM
I’m so excited about my newest listing in Crystal Lakes.  This 2234 square foot custom log home is so inviting, you may never want to leave.
The cabin is located high in the Northern Colorado mountains about 55 miles northwest of Fort Collins and is a great choice for buyers looking for a full time mountain home or weekend/summer get-a-way.  At an elevation of around 8400 feet, the nights are cool and the star gazing is pretty amazing, too
The detached garage is huge with nearly 900 square feet of space to store your gear, vehicles and “toys”.    
High ceilings grace the open … (8 comments)

red feather lakes agent: Can an intoxicated person enter into a contract? - 07/31/18 02:56 PM
Can an intoxicated person enter into a contract? Of course they can, HOWEVER they can also pick a fight with their best friend, forget where their car is, wake up on the bathroom floor, or order $1,000 worth of Tupperware….
A good number of unpleasant situations and stupid decisions can happen under the influence!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
So, should an intoxicated person enter into a legally binding real estate contract? And is it really legally binding?
I’ve read (and I am not an attorney) that the contract could be voidable if one party knows that the other party is incapacitated, or if one party is, or … (8 comments)

red feather lakes agent: 3 bed/2 bath cabin in Red Feather Lakes under $325,000 - 09/14/17 10:54 AM
All the privacy and solitude, or fun and recreation you crave awaits. This 2274 sq. ft. home sits on a corner lot, 3.04 mostly level acres, filled with ponderosa pine, douglas fir, and aspen in beautiful Crystal Lakes.
The Crystal Lakes community is approximately 45 miles NW of Fort Collins, via Hwy 287 and County Roads 74E to 73C, and is a great choice for buyers looking for a peaceful mountain retreat or full time home.  At an elevation of about 8400 feet, it is cooler in summer and the HOA plows the roads in winter for year round access.

red feather lakes agent: A new cabin listing and a bobcat in Red Feather Lakes, CO - 09/05/17 08:09 AM
So, there I was in my own little world, taking outside photos of my new listing, when the neighbor said hello. We had briefly met before, but didn’t recognize each other, so reintroduced ourselves. 
She sells real estate too, and of course, we starting talking.  She invited me over to see her cabin (which, by the way, is adorable).  When I was leaving, she walked outside with me and said “quick get a picture”- and there, about 30 (?) feet away was a bobcat. 
I had seconds- no time to focus, or zoom in, I raised the camera that was hanging around … (9 comments)

red feather lakes agent: Northern CO Mountains "Love it I want to die there" - 04/09/17 11:52 AM
The other day I received a lead, requesting more information on a vacant lot I have listed in Glacier View Meadows.           
In the comments section, the individual entered:
                                                        “love it , i want to die there”
It just struck me funny, and I hoped they were planning on purchasing the property before they died there…( It would be horrifying to find a corpse on the lot at the next showing!)
…. but then I do have a twisted sense of humor!
.
 
It’s amazing how many people in our mountain communities have told me that they love it here so much, they plan … (14 comments)

red feather lakes agent: Silly Real Estate Agent, don't you know where the property is located? - 05/13/13 06:28 AM
I’ve been having a little problem lately, and not sure if any of you have experienced this, but I put the correct address in MLS….and then it shows up on Trulia on a different street!
You see, Larimer County changed some of our street names 3 or 4 years ago- I guess they forgot to let Zillow and Trulia and Google know! 
I have a vacant lot listing on Manso Way, in Crystal Lakes but Trulia is advertising it as being on Commanche Way – it’s not- which makes me look like an idiot.
Also, a very nice log cabin … (16 comments)

red feather lakes agent: Make Your Own Memories in this Red Feather Lakes Cabin at 51 Apache Trail, Red Feather Lakes, CO. - 03/19/11 08:45 AM
Red Feather Lakes cabins create lasting and wonderful memories.
A few months ago I had the pleasure of helping a Red Feather Cabin find its way back into the family that originally built it.
What I like so much about this sale was that the buyer's lovely wife spent many good times up at this cabin when she was a child.  
She knew and loved the people that built it. 
This well built, beautiful cabin held many cherished memories and it was important to her to bring it back into the family.
It's said that going to Red Feather Lakes is … (26 comments)

red feather lakes agent: And the Walls Came Tumbling down...making way for new businesses in Red Feather Lakes. - 03/12/11 03:42 AM
What's going on around the Ponderosa Realty Office in Red Feather Lakes?

The Red Feather Lakes Lumber & Supply company used to operate in the building next door to where our  Ponderosa Realty office is presently located, right on Red Feather Lakes road, which is now known as County Rd. 74E.   
The building hadn't been used for several years and had fallen into disrepair; the sweet smell of freshly cut lumber no longer filled the air, the aroma evaporated years ago from the large pile of sawdust left standing on the floor.
Barn swallows had claimed it as their home.
All that … (29 comments)

red feather lakes agent: MLS and the Home Buying Process - 02/26/11 07:14 AM
MLS and the Home Buying Process
MLS doesn't stand for Major League Soccer or Medical Laboratory Science......
in Real Estate, MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service
~
Buyers or Sellers might be thinking "So What?" but don't click off just yet, there's a big "So What" for both of you.
The Multiple Listing Service contains information on ALL* properties for sale in a given territory.
The MLS also provides market statistics, number of homes sold and comparable property information.  In order to gain access to all of this information and submit our own listings, agents and affiliates (like appraisers) … (25 comments)

red feather lakes agent: False Identities- or- Is Hollywood buying Red Feather Lakes Real Estate? - 01/07/11 04:51 AM
Oh my heart skipped a beat when I read my email this morning:
"You've received a new lead from Sam Elliott"
I've been a big fan of Sam Elliott for years, I love that deep, mellow, dreamy voice. I can still hear the commercial "Beef, it's what for dinner"...
Sam has played many a cowboy on television and in the movies; nevermind the voice he's not hard to look at either! I love Sam Elliott, what else can I say.
My gut's telling me it's not the same Sam Elliott, that is looking for property in Red Feather Lakes. In fact, it … (34 comments)

red feather lakes agent: Merry Christmas from Red Feather Lakes - 12/24/10 03:47 AM
That's it!   I'm officially out of time.  Our daughter and friends are coming tonight for dinner, there are still rooms to clean and linens to wash so they will have a clean bed for visions of sugar plums to dance in their heads!
It seems like only yesterday that there were 15 shopping days left until Christmas, and now it's Christmas Eve...I'm happy that Christmas Day is almost here. I'm happy that soon there will be no more sappy Holiday movies that make me cry on the Hallmark movie channel (LOL) and I'm happy and thankful for family, friends, clients and for all … (34 comments)

red feather lakes agent: Just Sold - Picture Perfect Cabin in Red Feather Lakes! - 11/28/10 10:06 AM

We closed on this Red Feather Lakes cabin 2 days before Thanksgiving.  With all the Holiday festivities in between then and now, it still seems like just yesterday!
I loved hearing the excitement in the buyers' voices when they called me after they had spent the first day by themselves in their new place!
"We just missed talking to you!" they joked.
Actually, I miss all my clients after they close.  We work so closely together; first getting to know each other, then selecting homes for them to see, negotiating the offer and any inspection items, following up on the … (34 comments)

red feather lakes agent: Step Back in Time in Red Feather Lakes - 07/25/10 05:24 AM
I lost my toolbox, my "best companion" and my links to the outside world on Friday when my laptop died, may she rest in peace.  Well, I'm not sure if she's really dead; the shop hasn't called yet to discuss life support or funeral arrangements..... I'm still praying for a recovery (of my data).
So, I'm  working on this old dilapidated computer.  The thing is a relic and I have to say, if you have a lot of widgets on your post or website; I can watch half of Law & Order, do the dishes and let out the dog in … (45 comments)

red feather lakes agent: Red Feather Lakes Colorado makes the News - 06/12/10 07:20 AM
Last night the weatherman on the Denver news channel mentioned Red Feather Lakes.  This sounds so corny to say, but it's exciting to hear Red Feather Lakes mentioned on the news because it doesn't happen very often!
Maybe someone in Denver is asking themself "Where in the world is Red Feather Lakes?"
People reading USA Today will know the answer when they see that the Sundance Trail Guest Ranch in Red Feather Lakes, CO was voted one of the 10 Great Places for a Family Reunion.
Surrounded by National Forest, between the Glacier View Meadows Subdivision and the Village of Red … (34 comments)

red feather lakes agent: County Road 68C -The Boy Scout Rd. in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado - 06/03/10 05:25 PM

County Road 68C in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado is better known as the Boy Scout Road.

 
Today, I had an assignment to take a few photos of a house down the Boy Scout Road, but long before I reached the subject of my assignment, I was stopping the car at every turn and snapping photos along the way... I couldn't help myself!
 
The Ben Delatour Scout Ranch consists of 3400 acres and is operated by the Longs Peak Council Boy Scouts of America.  Some weeks are still available according to their website today so it looks like there … (31 comments)

red feather lakes agent: “Just another beautiful day in Glacier View Meadows, near Red Feather Lakes, CO.” - 11/27/09 11:25 AM
All around the Red Feather Lakes area, there are huge rock outcroppings.  Geologists might be able to explain how they got here, or what natural pre-historic event caused them; I'm not a geologist, so I don't know.  Still, no matter where I go I am always amazed by them and how many there are.  They are everywhere!
No lawn mowing required here:

Today, I was on a mission to take more inside photos of a house for an out of state buyer.  I was happy to do it for them, because there is always something beautiful to see in Glacier … (48 comments)

The Life of a Red Feather Lakes Realtor's Vehicle
Written by Mary's Car
No one ever thinks about how hard I work, they just make fun of me because most of the time I'm muddy or dusty on the outside and with people always getting in an out, leaving gravel and dirt on the floorboards, dirty on the inside too.  I don't feel like I present a professional image, to be honest.
It's a thankless job showing all those properties, I'm the best assistant Mary has - but it's always "all about her"!  She doesn't even give me any credit for … (39 comments)
