Rain, Rain, Go Away

The cloudy skies have corrupted my view of the San Juans, and have me feeling a little blue. But, Montrose, CO continues to offer great things, such as the local coffee shop, The Coffee Trader. I love to sit out on their porch, and use their wifi--even when it's raining.

Anyway, I've begun a car hunt, and I've got my eyes set on the Dodge Durango. Speaking of Durango, it's only a couple hour drive from Montrose, CO. I love going there for a few day break over the summer.

Does anyone have a Dodge Durango? I'm looking at a 2013 model. Thoughts?

Xeriscaping

I was reading an article a couple of months ago which was featured in Montrose, CO's own Daily Press, and thought I would share some interesting tips it had!

First, the definition of xeriscaping. Kinsley writes, "The term xeriscape comes from the Greek term "xeros" meaning dry and is not 'zero-scaping' or the lack of landscaping. The term was coined in 1981 by the Denver Water Department, and use of the term has spread throughout most arid regions in the west."


Essentially, I think the balance of grass and stone makes an excellent statement, and if it saves money, I'm all for it!

I found these picture on the website, Waterwise--you can find it here. 

What do you think about xeriscaping? Does your future home make use of this concept? 

2 Closings in a Week

Wow, I have been so busy! Montrose, CO is just booming! While parts of the state are getting snow, we are warm and sunny. Anyway, I just closed on two listings this week, and it's only Wednesday! I'm exhausted, but wanted to check in! Time for a nap, I think. :)

Webbed by Daniel goes Big

My son, Daniel, has been my personal tech guy. And let me just say, it's pretty awesome to have your own 24/hour troubleshooter. Not everyone can have that, but now he has decided to open up some of his services to other realtors.

You can find him at his website, www.webbedbydaniel.net to see what he can do for you!

My new office!

I've been with Keller Williams for a couple of years, and in the same office. It's remarkable, actually, how your work space can affect your mood. I'm happy to share, I've finally upgraded! Same office, but new furniture, and I am EXCITED to go to work. 

What do you think? I am crazy about the accent wall color, and my desk  allows me to see all of my clients. 

Come say hi! 

I've won an award!

I am so excited, I just won Keller William's "Highest Individual Producer" award for 2012! This is big, it means that I sold a lot of properties this past year. I also got a Keller Williams Bronze medallion. These are the perfect accents for my new office which I finally got furnished the way I want (hence why I was so busy this past few days!).

My daughter and my grand daughter are visiting Montrose this week, and I we have had so much fun visiting all of our favorite places, and I am still managing to get some work in as well!
