Tale of the Sale: Building the Dream
Some clients you've known long before they ever become clients.
This buyer's dad has known me for over 15 years — we go way back through a previous job I had in Chaffee County. So when he spotted my name on a sign near a piece of vacant land his son had been eyeing in Little River Ranch, he picked up the phone.
"Hey Janine, my son is very interested in this vacant land. Can you help us write an offer?"
Of course I could.
This wasn't a casual purchase. The buyer's plan was to custom build — and he happened to have one of the most talented custom builders in the county right alongside him in the process. His dad. So before they ever put pen to paper, they did their homework thoroughly. Soil, utilities, covenants, views, access — they asked every question and wanted every answer. That's exactly the right way to approach a land purchase, and it gave them the confidence to move forward strong.
When they were ready, they came in with a compelling cash offer. Clean, serious, and structured in a way that worked for the seller. I worked both sides of the transaction as a transaction broker, which helped bring everything together smoothly and gave the seller good reason to say yes.
And now? This buyer is preparing to build a custom home designed exactly for him — with waterfront views, sweeping views of the Collegiate Peaks, and his very best friend living right next door in the same subdivision.
That's not just a land purchase. That's a life being built from the ground up — in every sense of the phrase.
Welcome to the community. We can't wait to see what gets built there.
