I am the perfect fit for any buyer or seller looking to embrace the lifestyle and community that is Salida, Colorado. Give us a call!” - LSS

Let my creativity and community connections work for you in a whole new way! You may know me as many things: a working artist, event producer, community leader, mom and someone who brings a lot of fun to everything I do. Now I am throwing my ingenuity into something brand new, real estate. I am currently the President of the FIBArk Board of Directors, a Producer of Salida’s Next Last Waltz and an

active member of Friends of Salida Skateparks. When not creating this town’s most boisterous events, my family is boating the Arkansas River or in the mountains soaking up Chaffee County’s beauty.

“I am psyched for this new venture with HomeSmart Preferred Realty and very fortunate to be working alongside, successful agent and mentor, Janine Marr.

This incredible “best of both worlds” Salida property is officially Under Contract. Only on the market for 11 days, we knew this one would go fast.

Blending the historic charm that makes Salida so special with the modern luxury of the ADU tucked behind the property, this home offered the perfect setup for multi generational living or a live in investment.

Looking to buy or sell? I’m the agent for you. Let’s chat. We’ll have a good time along the way.

One of the things that attracts so many folks to Salida is the lifestyle—and the truth is, it’s not always easy to obtain.

Small mountain towns come with trade-offs. Jobs can be scarce, housing can be tight, winters are long, and you have to be willing to build a life that looks a little different than the one you might have imagined somewhere else.

But February is when the reasons people choose this place become crystal clear.

It's weekend shuttles and comps at Monarch, river walks with the dog, kids growing up outside instead of on screens, and running into friends at every stop along the way. It is the kind of place where kindness is met with kindness. It’s live music all week, community theater and local events that remind you this town shows up for each other, even in the quietest months.

Twenty years of life, love, and family shaped by the Arkansas River Valley.

My husband was drawn to Salida in 1999 to raft the Arkansas. We met here in 2006 while working for a kayaking school, and our story took root on the river. It’s still where it continues to grow.

Now we’re raising two kids who surf, swim, and paddle those same waters. We proudly raise and are part of the .

This river life is what rooted us here, and it’s the same connection to place I bring into my work as a real estate agent. Real estate in the Arkansas River Valley isn’t just about houses. It’s about lifestyle, community, and finding the piece of this place that feels like home.

Valentine’s week feels like the right time to reflect on what we love, and for our family, that love is tied to this river and this valley.

If the Arkansas is calling you to the valley, I may just be the agent for you.

This beautifully maintained, one-owner Poncha Meadows home is officially under contract. After helping these sellers find their ideal Salida home, it was a full-circle moment to bring this one to market and successfully get it under contract. Meticulously cared for and a true standout from the moment it hit the market. So excited for them and what’s ahead.

I am so overjoyed for these clients, friends and first-time home buyers who are officially under contract on a truly unique property in Coaldale, Colorado. This off-the-beaten-path gem combines rich historic roots with sweeping views of the Arkansas River Valley and the Sangre de Cristo Range.

Coaldale is the kind of place that entices outdoor lovers, welcomes families and rewards those looking for something a little different, where backyard adventures await and deep-rooted community connections thrive. My clients found their perfect match and I could not be more honored to guide them on the journey into home ownership in this remarkable place.
