    Erie

    My home for 13 years and counting. Erie is growing fast but still feels tight-knit — town fairs, farmers markets, the Christmas parade, and neighbors you actually know. I run into friends at Cristo's Coffee, at the gym, and at all three of my kids' schools. It's special.

    Why It Matters

    Local Knowledge Makes the Difference

    I don't just know the market data — I know which streets flood in a storm, which parks have the best playgrounds, and where to get the best breakfast burrito. That's the difference between an agent who works here and one who lives here.

    Market Trends

    Hyper-local pricing data and sales trends — I know what's happening block by block.

    School Districts

    St. Vrain, Boulder Valley, Adams 12 — I have kids in these schools and know the boundaries and the buzz.

    Lifestyle & Community

    Trails, dining, events, and the people who make these towns feel like home. I'll help you find your fit.
