What should you look for when buying rural land with water rights in Southwest Colorado?
You need an agent who understands the lifecycle of the land and the literal lifeblood of our community: water taps, irrigation water, and water shares.
Today we are recognizing Chip Olson. Chip and his wife manage their own acreage in Southwest Colorado, personally handling everything from cattle and chickens to irrigation water shares. In our high desert climate, that hands-on knowledge is not a bonus; it is a necessity for our clients.
Chip spent over twenty years in marketing and customer service before making a deliberate shift away from corporate persuasion toward genuine service. He treats real estate as a partnership built on unwavering honesty and transparency.
He is a true precision operator. Chip actually began his professional life as an off-hand glass blower, a craft requiring extreme focus and patience. He later applied that exact eye for detail to AutoCAD design, commercial property acquisition analysis, and aerial photography.
Our consumers choose Chip because he values consistency and follow-through. He does not sit back and wait for things to happen. He stays in constant motion, picking up the phone, responding fast, and handling the complex details so his clients move forward with confidence.
Thank you, Chip, for your grit, your technical eye, and for always showing us what it means to put the community first.
