Looking for a Realtor in Colorado Springs?
Way back in 1990, I was one year out of high school when I made a fateful decision.
I decided to move to Montana to work for my Dad’s construction company. With that decision, I began my lifelong adventure in real estate.
There were several things that I learned working for my dad:
- Don’t carry a sheet of plywood up a ladder in a heavy wind unless you have always dreamed of flying!
- Construction is a great job, but was not the career for me. I once announced to my father that I much preferred being recreationally oriented.
- My father could physically work me into the ground. Always a humbling experience for a 20-year-old.
- Selling or buying real estate is a huge adventure with a lot of adrenaline and the potential for a really great feeling at the end.
I learned that last point by watching my dad while the Realtor showed potential buyers the house we were building.
When the real estate agent arrived to show a house we were working on, there was a palpable sense of energy in the air. My dad would pace back and forth, back and forth, like a tiger in a cage. Meanwhile, the buyers were excited as they walked through the half-constructed house and imagined their new home.
I realized that real estate is exciting for both sellers and buyers.
Real Estate is Spelled F-U-N!
Here is something that many people never realize. Real estate is fun (capital letters F-U-N)! It’s a rush. The simple act of buying or selling a house is really exciting.
You might object to that statement. Maybe you’ll say it’s nerve-wracking, feels overwhelming, and painful, producing sleepless nights and aggravation. You just described every great adventure.
When you hike 14ers or go rock climbing or snowboard down a mountain there is a lot of work and potential pain involved. Even when you read a great book, you have to put in time and energy to get to the satisfactory ending. But the joy of the experience is a reward worth the effort. Buying or selling a home is a lot like that.

One way that people minimize the hard part of adventures is to hire a coach or guide. This person works behind the scenes to smooth the process, plan the trip, take care of the details so you can just have fun. A good real estate agent acts the same way. In fact, a good real estate agent might better be called a real estate guide.
What is the difference between you and a guide? A guide is an expert in the whole process, including the difficult planning and logistical part. The perfect real estate guide is the same way.
In the end, a real estate guide helps guide you so you can get to the party at the closing table.
I look forward to helping you find a guide for your next real estate adventure.
