Biography:
This month is my fifteenth year selling homes as a Realtor. In that period of time I am grateful to have built a clientele that many of you are a part of -whether you bought or sold a house with me or referred me your friends and associates.
Since I'm often asked, my business runs primarily from the city of Boulder, north to Loveland. About half the properties I sell are in rural areas; the other half are 'city-homes'. I work with a lot of country and mountain properties, and a fair amount of my business is in the cities of Boulder and Longmont (yes, I get around quite a bit). I provide a link within the above territory, a territory that few Realtors can or want to envelop, that many of my clients find beneficial.
My company, Wright-Kingdom Real Estate, is the best real estate support team in the region-which helps me to better serve my clients. Wright Kingdom is one of the last fiercely independent real estate companies in the region-meaning we haven't sold out to one of the national franchises like so many companies have in recent years. That means better service for you.
At the time I began selling real estate in January of 1993, my family and I were living in Left Hand Canyon in an old miner's 'ghost' cabin that we remodeled and expanded from practically nothing. When we first moved there in 1982 there was no heat except an old pot belly stove and my first child, Sylve, had to sleep in bed with us wearing a skull cap to keep her bald little head from freezing. We were barely more than optimistic kids ourselves back then. My father-in-law said we should have blown the place up when we bought it and started over from scratch.
In 1995 we moved to Old Town Longmont so the kids would have a real neighborhood to grow up in. We bought a light filled, turn of the century home on Lincoln Street that satisfied our perennial need to remodel everything in sight; where the kids could walk to school, and where we could actually get pizza delivered whenever we felt like it (heaven indeed).
Seven years ago we moved back to the country and now live on a horse property, just west of Longmont, which we subconsciously feel is a good compromise between the mountains and town--even if it is just beyond the pizza guy's territory. My wife Janice, who still surprises me after 25 years, is a professional artist (I never know what color the walls will be when I come home). My little girl survived the mountain cold, is now a senior in college and is studying for a degree in Interior design. She still considers herself a tough mountain kid and, in many ways, she still is. My son Luke, who is in his first year of college, lives and breathes baseball, and my 15 year old daughter, Summer, was seemingly born to ride a horse with uncanny grace (how such little girls can so fearlessly control such a large beast is one of the mysteries of life).
And, of course, we again have an old house, with a lifetime of remodeling to do. We wouldn't have it any other way...
After fifteen years I can't seem to get away from writing my newsletters (see blog link above). It's my way of trying to connect, hopefully offering something of value, and staying in touch. I know I'm not too old yet, because fifteen years still seems like a long time.
