Hitchcox Real Estate I've lived and worked here for over 25 years. I love sharing what I know in real estate. Let’s connect and find your ! I love this area and know it well.

Real Estate Agents come from a wide variety of backgrounds. My background since college has been in land use. I graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science degree. Since that time I have worked for or with architects, engineers, and planners on projects in California, Nevada and Colorado. I helped create a demographic study for Ouray County with the Southwest Data Center. I have provided Geographic Information System mapping services to Montrose, Delta, San Miguel and Ouray counties. And I have worked on subdivision projects in those counties as well as designed septic systems and house foundations. I recently got off the City Council in Ouray and the Planning Commission and Board of Zoning Adjustment liaison for those bodies. Most recently, I have worked designing foundations and septic systems for a local engineering firm. I have lived and worked in the Uncompahgre Valley for over 17 years. You will be hard pressed to find an agent who has my level of expertise on Real Estate development issues, construction development experience, and regional knowledge. Contact me today to let me brainstorm with you on how to get your project off the ground. Whether you are looking to buy a first residence, a vacation home, a parcel of land for your dream home, or a development opportunity, I can help you get it done. My approach to real estate is one of service. My goal is to provide you the information that you need to make an informed choice about any property. This includes giving you the downsides, from my experience, for any particular location. Most real estate agents specialize in sales and marketing. These are important components of the industry, but my approach is different. Rather than try to sell something to you, my goal is to work with you to find the property that best suits you. Let my knowledge and experience work for you. Feel free to call me at (970) 729-3055 or email me at [email protected]

Money can’t buy you happiness… but it can buy your dream home in Western Colorado.

And around here, “dream home” looks a little different.

It might be mountain views in Ouray, quiet mornings in Ridgway, more space outside Montrose, or room to build the life you’ve been picturing somewhere between the peaks, valleys, and small towns that make this area so special.

Western Colorado has a way of making home feel like more than four walls.

If you’ve been waiting for the right place to land, reach out to me.

The kind of place where fall mornings feel slower, evenings feel cozier, and town is close enough that you can walk to your favorite coffee shop, dinner spot, or weekend plans without making a whole thing of it.

Inside, you have the updates that make daily living easier, including newer flooring, windows, blinds, appliances, professionally cleaned ducts, a metal roof, and a high-end wood stove for those colder Ouray nights.

Outside, you have a backyard, storage space, and views of the Amphitheater and Twin Peaks.

And with zoning that allows multi-family use and short-term vacation rentals, this one has options.

Full-time home. Mountain getaway. Income property.

There’s a lot of possibility tucked into this Ouray address.

Schedule your showing today.

There’s nothing quite like living in Western Colorado.

From the mountain town feel of Ouray and Ridgway to the space and convenience of Montrose, all the way toward Eckert and the Delta area, every property comes with a different version of what life out here can look like.

More room. Better views. Slower mornings. A little more space between you and the noise.

Here’s what’s available right now across the Western Slope.

If one of these caught your eye, send me a message. Or reach out with more questions below. 👇

Everyone says they want to live in the mountains…

and now you can.

These homes are currently available in Ouray, Colorado, and each offers its own version of life in this little mountain town.

It’s morning coffee surrounded by mountains, walking into town for dinner, soaking in the hot springs after a long day, and having some of Colorado’s best outdoor recreation practically in your backyard.

The home gets you here. The lifestyle is what makes you stay.

Some Ouray homes are the kind you don’t see hit the market very often.

The ones with the views, the character, the location, or that hard-to-explain feeling people come here hoping to find.

A few are available right now, that might not stick around long.

Hard to put into words what it feels like to see this happening in Ouray.

This community means a lot to me, and I know it means a lot to so many of you too.

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the Gold Mountain Fire, and I’m grateful for the firefighters, first responders, volunteers, and local officials working so hard right now.

If you’re in the area, please keep following official updates from the Ouray County Sheriff’s Office, Ouray County Emergency Management, and the Gold Mountain Fire information page for evacuation notices and fire information.

Take care of each other, Ouray. ❤️

Private or “exclusive” listings can sound like a perk, but sellers need to understand what they may be giving up.

When a home is kept inside one brokerage or a small network of agents, it may limit the number of buyers who ever see it. Fewer eyes can mean fewer showings, fewer offers, and potentially less leverage for the seller.

In most cases, sellers benefit from full market exposure, strong marketing, and real competition.

Before agreeing to limit where your home is advertised, ask one important question:
Who does this actually benefit?

Not all real estate strategies are created equal, and not all agents market the same.

If you’re selling your home on the Western Slope it’s time to talk!
