Red Feather Lakes, CO - The willy wacky world of wheel estate and the wife

“He thinks he’s going to move me to Colorado to be out in the middle of nowhere so that he can hunt and fish all day,” she said.  “But, I’m not going!”

My first contact was with her husband who said he was looking for hunting land; I was calling him to make sure he had received the listing information that I’d sent.  He hadn’t mentioned his delightful wife or any plans to build a home on this land …

He wanted hunting land.

When his wife answered the phone we had a nice conversation about the type of property she wanted and it sure wasn’t hunting land! (read: opening line)

What we have here is a failure to communicate!

Now, I have no intention of jumping into the middle of the marital real estate fray.   I’ll send some other listings that may work for both of them but I worry….

Why didn’t he tell me about his wife?

Or building a home?

Or that nearby shopping might be nice?

Maybe he just wanted the hunting land and intentionally forgot to tell me the rest?

Call me silly, but if you’re married and you intend to stay married it’s generally a good idea to consider your wife.

But then again, because he wasn’t home, I don’t really know his intentions and that’s disturbing.

Visions of Jeremiah Johnson, riding away alone into the wilderness, flash through my mind.

Real Estate/Relationship Tip:  When an issue is critical and you both are passionate about it, make a point to examine the pros and cons so that you can come to a compromise with each other and your real estate agent will have all the necessary information to help you find the right property.
