I began my real estate career in 1976, the year of foreclosures and bank auctions.  After the first few years in a buyers market, the interest rates soared to double digits; 13%+ loans were common and Adjustable Rate Mortgages or ARM’s became popular.  The market took a down turn from 1982 to 1989.  The 1990’s brought double-digit appreciation and low supply.  The demand exceeded the supply thus another building boom and more construction. The market is experiencing a similar situation to the 90’s; high demand, good interest rates however, land is scarce. 80% of Summit County is surrounded by National Forest.  Currently Summit County planners estimate build out in the next 5-7 years.

I have earned the following designations;

PHILOSOPHY: I work to retain my clients for life.  I run my business with the attitude of service, before, during and after the sale for as long as my clients want my real estate services. 

 I have lived in Summit County since 1972.  My knowledge of the area, its trends, the market are extensive.  My approach to business is to treat my clients as I would like to be treated.  My job has afforded an opportunity for me to serve my customers and clients as they purchase, sell, and add to their portfolios. I value the long term relationships with my clients . My job has afforded me an opportunity to serve folks in meeting their real estate goals step by step over time, which is a great sense of satisfaction for me.

PERSONAL:

 Married 25 years with two grown children. My husband and I along with partners developed the Mount Royal Plaza and own the Backcountry Brewery.

 My children were on the local swim team from elementary school through high school.  I was vice president of the swim team for 7 years and  an official at swim meets.

I taught skiing for Copper Mountain since opening in 1972.  I also guided the Over The Hill Gang for 10 years.

Summit County is a magical place where outdoor activities are unlimited year around.  I enjoy being outdoors as much as possible.
