Warm greetings from Pagosa! I came here to live in 1977 where my ‘residence’ was a tent for the summer. I framed Pines Condominiums at Pagosa Lakes by day and enjoyed my tent on those perfect summer nights. Being raised in Connecticut, I loved the sunshine, dry air, four seasons and abundant space to run around in out here. The following year my wife-to-be, Kate, came to visit and felt instantly comfortable enough to make Pagosa Springs her home.
I’ve been a licensed realtor since 1978, becoming a licensed broker in 1982. I’ve been helping folks find the home that perfectly suits them ever since—folks that have become neighbors and good friends.
I really enjoy seeing people make the break and move here just the way I did years ago. Kate and I raised our three children here and they come home to visit as often as they can. In fact, one of our sons has returned to call Pagosa Springs his home again. It seems some are just called to live in these mountains and enjoy the close community to which Pagosa lends itself.
Yes, 35 years of selling and listing property in Pagosa and I’ve enjoyed every day of it. Certainly there have been many changes, but the true flavor of this Rocky Mountain community has been preserved. We still delight in this mountain town and all the sights within a hundred miles or so. The Four Corners area probably has more recreational adventures than you can visit in a lifetime.
My wife was a special education teacher for a number of years and has taught stringed instrument lessons to children and adults alike for the past 13 years. (I still tell people that getting Kate to marry me was the best sale I ever made!) My own hobbies include studying theology and global economics as well as riding a motorcycle around the Four Corners. Moab, UT is a favorite place for me to hike and hang out with a good book or two.
I have the experience to help you through any real estate transaction and just love to share what I know and appreciate about Pagosa. There is a time to sell and a time to buy, and I am excellent at reading that flow from early on.
Give me a call on my cell anytime (970) 946-2118 or email me for your real estate needs. I will sincerely enjoy helping you!
