Kelli's Team > Kate's Bio
"I'm so lucky to live here!" As a Summit County resident since 1995, I still say this every day. The Rocky Mountains and their spectacular beauty have so much to offer; I am truly happy to be here. From winters of skiing and snowshoeing in the Arapahoe National Forest, to summers of hiking challenging "14ers" and boating and wakeboarding on Green Mountain Reservoir, there are so many activities and so much breathtaking scenery to enjoy . . . and it's all right outside my back door!
I've always been a small town girl at heart, and that's why I deeply treasure the quaint Victorian town and close community of Breckenridge. I grew up in a small town in upstate NY, in the same red house for 18 years until I left for college. Schodack's claim to fame was the large buffalo farm across the road from my house. I remember such a peaceful feeling watching them run at dusk. I still feel that familiar peace when I see a fox or an elk or a moose occasionally wandering through my yard here in the High Country. My family spent most summers traveling and camping in NY, VT, NH, and many other fantastic places. We would sit around the campfire in the evenings, my father playing guitar, and everyone singing John Denver songs. Little did I know then that I would eventually get to truly understand and live the words of his songs… After high school, I headed 3 hours north for college in the Adirondack Mountains, just south of Montreal. The school that I attended has an excellent study abroad program, and I took advantage of that in my senior year. My friend and I spent a month traveling Europe via the Eurail, and then attended Chester College in Chester, England for a semester. It was an amazing experience that I will cherish forever.
I've always had a love and appreciation for life, nature, and the mountains. I enjoy meeting new people and showing them the magic of the Rockies. And my career allows me to not only meet people from all over the world, but to also grow relationships. That's what this business is really about. Buying or selling real estate is one of the most significant experiences in a person's life. I understand the importance of having a broker who you can trust and feel comfortable with. My down to earth and honest approach will put you at ease. Let me show you how "the difference is in the details."
