Open house this Saturday! 🏡

Join me Saturday, July 18th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at 2701 Junction Street in Durango.

This 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom home offers 3,380 square feet on a 10,340 square foot lot, with thoughtful upgrades throughout. Highlights include a brand new 30-year roof installed this past March, in-floor radiant heat, and a solar-ready design for long-term efficiency.

The remodeled primary suite features a custom double shower, soaking tub, floating vanity, and a custom closet with a built-in makeup station. Above the oversized garage, a separate-entry mother-in-law suite adds flexibility for guests, extended family, or rental income.

Outside, you'll find mature fruit trees and a fully equipped flex area wired and plumbed for a hot tub, sauna, or cold plunge. The home is also located directly across from Miller Middle School, and it's just minutes from Durango High School, the Durango Recreation Center, walking trails, and Main Avenue.

I would love to show you around. Stop by Saturday, or reach out anytime with questions.

Thinking about selling your house soon? Don't skip staging.

With more houses on the market now, anything you can do to help yours stand out counts. And while staging costs vary, whatever you spend could pay you back big time.

For example, if you invest the typical $4k for mid-level staging on a $400k home, that can turn into roughly $18k in added value when you sell.

That gives you the potential to net about $14k more at closing – about a 350% return on your investment.

But staging doesn’t have to mean hiring a full crew. There’s an option for almost every budget, from professional staging to virtual staging to simple DIY updates.

DM me if you're getting ready to sell and let's talk about what level of staging makes sense for your house and your budget.

Selling your house today isn’t about luck. It’s about strategy.

The simple truth is homes with a good plan get offers. It’s the homes without one that just sit... and sit.

That's why you need an agent who knows how to nail every aspect of your sale.

Don’t leave your move to chance. DM me so you know what’s working for sellers in our area.
