Saturday Subscriber Finds #54

I really enjoy doing this series with a theme. Today's theme is Members from Colorado. We have many great members from this state. I could spend a year talking about all of them. I picked today's members, because two of them I have met in person and one of them I feel like I know. 

Saturday Subscriber Finds 54John G. Johnston makes a great blogging weatherman. His daily series on The Weather in Westcliffe, CO is true genius. What a great way to get a post in everyday and not have to think of a subject. My hat is off to you, John, for thinking of that. John works exclusively as a buyer's agent. This really works for him. His second job, as one of the owners of the Courtyard Country Inn, also keeps him busy. Right now he's gearing up for a busy summer season. I have met John and his wife, Mo, and stayed at the bed and breakfast. It was a planned winter meetup for Colorado members. I had a fabulous time, and can't wait to visit John and Mo again. When in Westcliffe, CO, make sure you make plans to stay at the Courtyard Country Inn and have a visit with its two charming hosts. 

Saturday Subscriber Finds 54I have also met Erin Bates. It was at that winter meet up in Westcliffe. First of all, Erin deserves a big virtual high five. She recently passed her CO Real Estate Licensing Exam. Way to go, Erin. Erin has such a positive energy around her. She is so easy to get to know. She works for Aspen Lane Real Estate in Aurora, CO. She has a lot of marketing experience that she puts to work for the owner, Belinda Spillman. By the way in case you didn't know...Belinda is Erin's mom. Erin has been in the real estate, mortgage and servicing industry since 2002. She is no stranger to the real estate business. When she isn't working, Erin loves to spend time outdoors with her boyfriend, Dom.

Where the heck is Red Feather Lakes, CO? Is it even on the map? Well map quest couldn't find it. I know. I checked.  I happen to know where it is, but that's only by sheer luck. That's where member Mary Douglas lives, and she would be happy to give you directions if you just give her a call. Mary has over 36 years experience in the real estate field. She's currently a broker with United Country Ponderosa Realty. Before that she worked in the title insurance industry for over 30 years. Mary has a true passion for small town living. She also takes great pictures of her area. Like any broker in a small, rural area...she has to be the local expert on all types of property. She sells vacant land, ranches, cabins and beautiful mountain homes. I haven't met Mary yet, but I hope we get a chance to meet up soon. We have a lot in common with both of us working in extremely rural real estate markets and our love for small town living.

Hi Debbie - Great picks. I have had the pleasure of meeting Erin, our newest Colorado Realtor, on a couple of occasions and think she's awesome. I know where to find Mary, and I have probably met her somewhere along the last 16 years - she's a great resource for the Red Feather area, which is close but outside our coverage area. And I'm really looking forward to meeting Jon, and you too :)

I hope we can meet up sometime soon, Dick. I would like to host one of the winter meetings in Ouray. I can use a friend's house during the winter months, and with the hotsprings there, I think it would be a great time.

I like checking out and meeting new bloggers. I look forward to having that little extra time to do so. Well Friday did not produce a great amount of BPO's but today did. One of my AM's worked all weekend, got some new REO listings Saturday and buried in BPO's beyond belief today. So much for my quiet day.

Debbie, it would be heaven to spend time with John and Mo--lucky you! Did you get to meet Sondra Meyers, too? She went to one of their MeetUps. 

I don't know Erin, but now I do.

Mary is someone I just found lately. I will go and visit her blog next. We have a "lake" in common!
