We moved to Pagosa Springs from Baltimore years back. Like anyone else not born and raised in Pagosa we were drawn by the tremendous beauty and stellar weather of the San Juan Mountains, the wide variety of recreational activities within close reach, our wonderful hot springs, and the friendly folks who live here.
We’ve many years experience running successful small businesses back east and a solid grounding in real estate. Our variety of work and business experience includes real estate brokerage, property management, years of mediation and negotiation work, contracting experience, and building, owning and selling a highly regarded frame shop and art gallery in downtown Baltimore. We’re both Realtors and members of the National Association of Realtors as well as members of the Colorado Association of Realtors. We're on the Board of the Pagosa Springs Area Association of Realtors (PSAAR), of which we are both members as well.
Joe is President of the Ruby Sisson Library Board of Trustees here in Pagosa and also a volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Colorado. His young buddy (Little Brother), Carter, and he do their best to strike fear into the hearts of every trout in the Pagosa area. (Big Brothers and Big Sisters is a great organization - they, and more importantly the kids, can always use more help, so if you're looking for something to do...)
Lisa brings to her brokerage business almost twenty years of Baltimore Courts experience as a highly trained mediator and negotiator, where she worked primarily in the divorce/custody division and as an adoption investigator. She’s a member of our Bucks for Bikes committee, an organization formed by PSAAR that raises funds to purchase bicycles for kids who can’t afford them. She also sits on the PSAAR Public Relations, Community Development and Government Affairs Committee and the Town Tourism Committee.
How does this help us help you as you consider buying or selling real estate in Pagosa Springs? Simple: We’re comfortable with a wide variety of folks from varying backgrounds. We’re creative and work well individually and as a team and we understand finance and marketing, particularly as it relates to real estate here in Pagosa. We bring strong analytical and negotiating skills to the table and we know how to work hard to accomplish goals.
After 18 years in downtown Baltimore, we also bring a fresh perspective to Pagosa. We know what it’s like to make a radical change in living and we work well with clients, coming to or leaving Pagosa, who are doing the same. We can still see Pagosa as an outsider might and we have an objective take on its minor faults and its major strengths. We’ve explored widely the stunning landscape that frames our area and we’re well acquainted with its varied neighborhoods, residential areas, vacant land and ranches. We’re very good at helping our clients sort through the issues that affect the important decisions they make as they contemplate buying or selling here.
We’ve been here long enough to have an excellent feel for Pagosa Springs but we can still approach the Pagosa area real estate market with an outsider’s objectivity and no preconceptions – a hugely important perspective in today’s unsettled real estate market.
We can help you sell and we can help you buy, effectively and discerningly. Give one of us a call or drop us a line and let’s talk some, see if you don’t agree.
