While listing and selling homes since the early 1990's, I would like to say I have seen it all; but, the real estate market is so dynamic, I continue to learn.

Those years of expereince mean I know my way around to represent buyers, sellers and investors in their purchase and sale tranactions while I continue to learn new twists turns, regulations, disclosures, financing options and many other tools and much other information along the way.

In the Grand Juntion real estate market, as 2013 wraps up, our average home price is $168,000. This is a working person's home price and that is the market I have worked for most of my years in this business.

I have taught first time home buyer classes and worked with over 240 first time buyers over the years.

When my mother was aging I decided it was a good time to become knowledgable about working with seniors: move-down buyers, ranch-style home buyers, lock n leave community buyers.

Relocation, second homes, vacation homes, and move-up are all areas where I have worked and know the ropes.

Throughout my real estate career I have worked with sellers.

I've represented a builder or two but for the most part, I have listed what we call in real estate jargon, pre-owned homes.

As a matter of fact, I have often told buyers the best value in homes for sale can often be found in those which are 3-5 years old. They have been lived in long enough to get the cracks and little plumbing leaks fixed but the carpet and other items that wear over time are still reasonably fresh. Plus, the landscaping, drapes, fences and other after-market add-ons are all in place.
