If you're the analytical type, you can look at statistical data for the Durango Area Association of Realtors right here.
You're probably among the savvy buyers who can navigate the Internet and find the perfect property. Or can you? How many times have you been excited after looking at pictures on some listing agent's website only to learn later that pictures do lie! Maybe you've made a special trip to see such a property only to be disappointed, and perhaps somewhat flustered.
The rugged San Juan Mountains offers incredible beauty. Anyone can locate a condo or townhome within city limits, but, what if you're looking for something special? Maybe a ski lodge, a four-season vacation home, proximity to a lake or good fishing. That takes local knowledge and the willingness to explore.
Maybe you saw something that looked great and the price was really good. Is there a catch? Does it have access to potable water? Are there dangers from wild fires? What are the roads like in the dead of winter; can you really get in and out when you want to? How far from shopping, schools, the hospital, or to get a tank of gas?
I've located beautiful townhomes right on the Animas River. And I've taken clients to see six acres of raw land in the high country above Lemon Reservoir right after a snowstorm. I've helped clients find a perfect building site fed by natural springs just above Vallecito Lake. A computer system professor relocating from California needed a home that was near Fort Lewis College but had no ordinances or HOA covenants that excluded raising chickens! (Incidentally, Durango now allows them, but didn't before 2009.) With my knowledge of developments, the southwest Colorado area, home builders, and local market conditions, I can save you lots of time and grief in your search.
Give me a call and let's talk. Let me know what you're looking for. We'll do whatever it takes to find the property of your dreams! If it exists, I'll find it! |
