ridgway: Ouray County Colorado May Market Update--Good Deals Go Fast! - 05/11/11 06:04 PM
Although I work out of my real estate office in Montrose, CO, I also live in Ridgway, Ouray County, Colorado, a county with a population of less than 5,000. I get the occasional listing or buyer looking in this area, which alway pleases me, since I love living here so much. This past May Day, as I worked from my beautiful home with the spectacular view of the Cimarron Mountains, I thought I'd take a look at the residential active and sold listings for Ouray County on our MLS.
I found 262 such listings, of which 28 sold in the last 6 months. That represents less … (4 comments)

ridgway: Economic Development . . . and why real estate business owners need to be involved - 02/21/10 01:03 PM
Last Thursday I attended the annual general membership meeting for the Montrose Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). I have been an investor of MEDC for several years, but that is about as active as I've been, other than reading its newsletters. I think that is going to change.
The first part of the program included the report of MEDC's president, Sandy Head. Her obvious dedication and enthusiasm for the accomplishments, projects, and goals of MEDC were very apparent. Click here to get MEDC's 2010 Annual Report, which is a great summary of MEDC's efforts and accomplishments in 2009 and its ongoing projects … (0 comments)

ridgway: Ridgway's Pickin' in the Park--a great small town event! - 07/25/09 04:56 PM
The 2nd annual Pickin' in the Park in Ridgway, CO is underway. This is my first year attending, and what a fun event! This is a free 4-concert series that combines musical acts from around the country with local and regional opening acts. The music, of course, is the main event, and the 2 concerts I've been to so far have been fabulous. Last Thursday, I especially enjoyed Carrie Rodriguez, a singer, songwriter, and fiddler from Austin, TX. She's really more of a rocker who also plays guitar and electric mandolin with a fantastic backup band. I was quite impressed that Ridgway could attract … (0 comments)

ridgway: Snow? No Problem! - 01/24/09 05:22 PM
First, a belated Happy Holidays, Happy Winter Solstice, and Happy New Year, everyone! I'm a bit behind in catching up, but thought I'd do so before the first month of January is behind me. We've had a terrific winter so far on the Western Slope, with one of the snowiest Decembers in quite some time. It took me until January 8th, however, to hit the slopes in Telluride, but it sure was worth the wait. Annabel and I could not have chosen a more perfect day--sunny, warm, clear and not crowded. The next day it snowed. Here's a photo of us on the See … (10 comments)

ridgway: Not all is Rosie in the Rockies--a Plea for Sane Driving! - 07/23/08 11:59 PM
Colorado, and especially where I live in and around the San Juan Mountains and the famous "Million Dollar Highway," offers some of the most spectacular drives on mountain highways and byways. By the same token, these roads intensify the normal risks of motoring down the highway. I commute almost daily the 27 miles between Ridgway and Montrose, and I can tell you, I've developed quite some cat nerves.
Highway 550 from Montrose to Ridgway is, for the most part, a narrow, two-lane highway, often with no shoulder and just a drop off down into the river or over an embankment. It … (0 comments)

ridgway: Springtime in Montrose, finally! - 05/19/08 08:21 PM
As is all too common, I let work and life's distractions pull me away from posting to this blog recently, for which I apologize, but I'm back with renewed commitment and enthusiasm. Just to catch you up on what's been happening with me, in March, I made a very typical Coloradan escape during the "mud months" to La Paz, Baja California, Mexico. The primary purpose was to attend a wedding, where many dear friends from San Diego gathered for the affair, so it was a wonderful reunion, as well. La Paz was marvelous, friendly, beautiful, great weather, good food, and relaxing. … (3 comments)

ridgway: Selling a Colorado Lifestyle - 02/21/08 08:05 PM
I attended a dinner party the other night at some friends' home in Ridgway. They were in town, after having moved to Parker for job reasons, while maintaining their home in Ridgway. Their circle of friends are not my usual circle, but I have, certainly, met many at previous parties and in and around town. As I spent time talking with all of them, and reflected on it the next day, I was impressed all over again with what an incredible, diverse, inspiring group of people I've come to know and associate with since moving to this part of Colorado 4 … (3 comments)

ridgway: First blog-Intro to me - 02/09/08 02:59 PM
Hello, everyone!
This is exciting! Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but this is my first blog. Of course, I've been hearing about them, and am even subscribed to a couple, but this is my first venture into my own blogdom. I'll admit, my primary purpose is as a markeing tool, but just as importantly, I want to interact with the public and for you to get to know me. I've totally embraced the notion that the personal touch and interaction are essential in creating a professional relationship, as well as a social one--they go hand-in-hand sometimes, don't they?
With a background as an … (13 comments)
