Why do you think you were voted Best Real Estate Agent in Summit County?

I am dedicated to ensuring that my clients have a seamless, enjoyable and successful journey in all of their real estate transactions. I believe the key to achieving this is through consistent, effective communication. Excellent communication is something I pride myself in offering not only to my clients, but to all parties of a transaction. As a longtime Summit County local, I haven’t strayed far from my Minnesota upbringing. My Midwestern roots instilled several traits that attribute to my success, most notable is my relentless work ethic. I aim to find work-life balance, but I work when it is required no matter the time of day or day of the week. I also give credit to my upbringing for my honest nature, integrity, approachable disposition and friendly, prompt response time.

Why did you choose a career in real estate?

Life as a Realtor just fits me. My path began due to a slight obsession with all things real estate. My gritty nature and past work and life experiences prepared me for this career. As a former educator and youth program director, I’m versed in working with diverse populations and catering to the unique needs of individuals, which is beneficial when representing all clients, from first-time homebuyers to seasoned real estate investors. It’s special helping people make big life decisions like selling a home or staking claim to their own piece of paradise right here in the mountains of Colorado.

Why Coldwell Banker Mountain Properties?

Coldwell Banker Mountain Properties (CBMP) is the best fit for my clients, therefore the best place for me. CBMP is the premiere real estate company in the mountain west, strategically located in 11 luxury mountain resort areas spanning six states. We are a luxury real estate company with a global reach. We work, live and recreate in these mountain resort areas, making us the ultimate guides for buyers and sellers. CBMP offers unparalleled leadership, support and innovation starting with our management. Additionally, our highly accessible professional marketing team delivers individually crafted, bespoke marketing and exceptional comprehensive listing plans for all CBMP listings.

What sets you apart?

I’m not a salesperson, therefore I don’t sell real estate. I support my clients in their unique missions to live their best mountain lives, so I help people improve their lifestyle. I am focused on my clients and driven by results. The results that drive me are not the traditional passing of keys at closing but something much deeper. It’s watching my clients turn a house into their home while spending time with friends and family making unforgettable memories in our incredible community. It’s knowing that my clients are smiling ear to ear as they take fresh powder turns at an area resort or in the backcountry, or that feeling of joy they experience when the wind sweeps through their hair as they explore Lake Dillon by boat or bike. It’s all about the mountain lifestyle.
