Buena Vista is a great outdoor play area…anytime of year. I try to get out as much as I can, so yesterday I decided to do my 3-mile hike above the Arkansas River. As soon as I had climbed the first hill and was breathing heavily, my cell phone rang. Now, there are certainly many views about cell phones disturbing the quietness of the trail. I happen to consider the great open spaces out here my extended office. So I sat on a nearby rock and talked to the caller about mining claims and what she would be able to do with hers. With some follow-through, this conversation may lead to a listing or a sale. It was on this same hillside about six years ago that I negotiated a purchase of a house, and two years ago I had a contract-defining conversation with a client as I topped a 13,000 foot peak.
Certainly I “get” the idea about being quiet on the trail and I abide by trail etiquette. But, when you live in this part of the Colorado Rockies, it is an easy decision when deciding whether to spend even more time in the office.
If you want to discuss real estate with me, feel free to call anytime, but if I sound out of breath you will know why.
