I moved to Pagosa Springs from Baltimore, Maryland, with my wife in the spring of 2007. Like just about anyone else not born and raised in Pagosa, we were drawn here by the tremendous beauty and stellar weather of the San Juan Mountains, the wide variety of recreational activities within close reach, the stellar hot springs, and the honest, friendly, laid back attitude of the folks who live here in Archuleta County, Colorado.
I have many years experience running my own successful small businesses back east and a solid grounding in the real estate business. My wide variety of work and business experience includes real estate brokerage and property management, bartending, contracting, operating a delivery service, and, from scratch, building a highly regarded picture frame store and art gallery. I’m a Realtor and a member of the National Association of Realtors as well as a member of the Colorado Association of Realtors and the Pagosa Springs Area Association of Realtors. I’m a member of the Ruby Sisson Library Board of Directors here in Pagosa Springs, as well as their treasurer. I’m also a volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Colorado and my young buddy, Carter, and I are doing our best to strike fear into the hearts of every trout in the Pagosa area.
How does this help me perform in the real estate business, and how does this help me to help you as you consider buying or selling real estate in Pagosa Springs, Colorado? Simple: I’m comfortable with a wide variety of folks from varying backgrounds, I’m creative, I understand finance and marketing, particularly as it relates to the real estate business here in Pagosa Springs, and I know how to work very hard to accomplish goals.
After living for 18 years in downtown Baltimore, I also bring a fresh perspective to Pagosa. I know what it’s like to make a radical change in living and I work well with clients, coming to or leaving Pagosa Springs, who are contemplating the same. I can still see Pagosa as an outsider might and I have an objective take on its minor faults and its major strengths. I’ve explored widely the stunning landscape that frames Pagosa Springs and I’m well acquainted with its varied neighborhoods, residential areas, vacant land and ranches. I’ve become adept at helping my clients sort through the issues that can affect the important decisions they make as they contemplate buying or selling property here.
While I’ve been here long enough that I’ve got an excellent feel for Pagosa Springs as well as Archuleta County and our surrounds, I can still approach our real estate with an outsider’s objectivity and no preconceptions – a hugely important perspective in today’s unsettled real estate market.
I can help you sell and I can help you buy, effectively and discerningly. Give me a call or drop me a line and let’s chat a bit, see if you don’t agree.
