Should an Electric Bike be Your Summer Car?

Jul 25, 2018

Park City has long been a hub for world class mountain bike single track. But in recent years, the addition of paved trails and bike lanes throughout town has also made it a haven for bike commuting for both exercise and practical purposes.

Seller Beware: Obstacles to a Successful Real Estate Sale

Jun 27, 2018

To say this has been a challenging year as a REALTOR® is an understatement. Today’s market is different from any other I have experienced in my 15 years helping clients buy and sell real estate. Why? The economy is robust Interest rates are historically low There is a shortage of inventory (homes for sale) Buyers are frantic to find the right home but at the same time know they are paying top dollar creating a lack of confidence Sellers know the market is hot and are being extremely aggressive on pricing The combination of these factors has resulted in a new and challenging phenomenon: buyers are putting a home under contract before they are certain they want to actually buy it. As I wrote about in a prior article, home sales are falling through.

My 9 Favorite Park City Condominiums

Jan 31, 2018

This blog is an opinion piece. I’ve explained the reason behind why each is among my favorite Park City condominiums. If you agree or disagree with my choices, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! I always show these properties when they meet my clients’ purchasing criteria. Why? Because I believe they are the best value in their class. In fact, I’ve done real estate transactions in nearly all of these developments. I’ll explain a little about each. Let me know if I can provide more details about any of these condos or show you the units that are currently available. Generally, there is scarcity in all of these projects except for Juniper Landing and Viridian, which are new construction.
