Hard work, determination, and commitment to a vision is how most people can own a home in Estes Park. It usually starts with a vacation to one of the state's most awe-inspiring places and immediately the wheels begin turning on how to own your own slice of Colorado heaven. I can say this as I have lived it! When I was a kid, my parents loaded up the station wagon in our small town of Roscoe, IL and we headed west... Colorado bound. Our annual summer vacations at the Estes Park YMCA of the Rockies became a family tradition. In 2007, after an 18 year career of teaching art & design and developing curriculum in MN schools, I made my way to Estes Park to stay. My parents' log cabin and the purchase of their downsized condo became my first sales in 2010. I fell in love with the career of real estate in the mountains! For 15 years, the strong relationships and expertise I have gained in our mountain community has helped me exceed client's expectations of the service and ease of what buying and selling a home in such a beautiful place should be. As the saying goes, "We weren't all born here, but we got here as fast as we could!" I am honored to have an opportunity to get you here as fast as possible. Act on your dream today... Celebrate your new reality tomorrow!
