A well-educated broker is just as important as a well-educated buyer.  I have my Accredited Buyer Representative and Seller Representative Specialist designations.  I specialize in working with customers via e-mail and have my e-PRO certification. To better serve customers looking for high-end properties I also have by Resort and Second-property Specialist designation.  To continue the education process, I teach real estate classes for brokers and have my GRI and MRE.

My former careers include college teaching, radio and tv weathercasting.  I love the water, the mountains and weather and this high-mountain valley has it all. While there is plenty to do on the river, I prefer climbing the 13,000 and 14,000 foot peaks, snowshoeing in the winter and working on the new sections of the Continental Divide Trail.  Life here is a great outdoor adventure and introducing my customers and clients to it is a joy!

The popularity of year-around outdoor activities bring families, looking for a change of lifestyle, to our area.  I so much enjoy assisting customers find their dream property in the Rockies.  My expertise is in finding the right second home, retirement "Colorado Mountain Home", or extended family resort.  I often work by e-mail, hike remote properties to find boundaries and drive "exciting" mountain roads to show wonderful mountain meadows, but service to my clients is the most important thing I do.  Sharing my knowledge of the mountains and trails with my clients is a bonus.
