Buena Vista Real Estate » hiking http://www.buenavistarealestate.com Real estate and living in Buena Vista, Colorado Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:14:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Come live where you play! http://www.buenavistarealestate.com/come-live-where-you-play http://www.buenavistarealestate.com/come-live-where-you-play#comments Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:31:09 +0000 admin http://www.buenavistarealestate.com/?p=264 There is just something about Buena Vista. For me, it is not quite big or busy enough, but the front range is a bit too busy. Yesterday I went to Denver, where there was snow on the ground and the temperature was in the 20s. When I got back to BV, it was sunny, windy and 60ish; the mountains were looking great..with peaks some 6,000 feet above our 8,000 ft valley floor.

When taking trips to the Front Range on the weekends, one thing is notable, heavy traffic is headed west on Saturday morning and headed back east on Sunday afternoon…so for me the slow traffic is usually in the other lane. I get it! We have more 14ers and better whitewater than anywhere else in the lower 48, along with great family skiing areas. This is where Coloradans come to play. Perhaps it is time for me to ignore the slowness here and just play more…after all…how great is it to live on the playground!

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.

Always ready for your call!

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.
