Mike Jackson

Since moving to the North Fork Valley from the Denver area in 1998, I have developed a sincere appreciation for the quality of life and close-knit sense of community that we enjoy. Initially working here in the insurance business, then banking, I feel so lucky to have found my true calling as a Realtor.

Bringing my knowledge and experience, built on the foundation of a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Colorado (’83), and over 30 years of real-world business experience, I look at my job primarily as one of counseling and problem solving, not “sales.” Whether someone is buying or selling, when working with a new client, my first objective is to listen - to understand their needs and goals before moving forward. It’s a philosophy of customer service that is at the core of my way of doing business. And as owner of the company, it is one of the organization’s guiding principles.

Each broker and employee is supported with systems and technology to help them do their job in the best way possible, so that each client gets the result they expect and deserve. The recent purchase and remodel our building at 134 Grand Avenue in Paonia is further evidence of our commitment to serving the local real estate market in the years to come.

If we haven’t worked together yet, I look forward to the day we do.

2021 Property Price Surge Has Been Astounding

February 4, 2022 by Mike Jackson

“May you live in interesting times” might be an apocryphal proverb, but it seems apropo because it has become abundantly clear that, indeed, these are not normal times. Not here, nor there, not anywhere – as Dr. Seuss would say – the real estate boom has enveloped the country. According to the Financial Times the…… continue reading

November 2021

February 4, 2022 by Mike Jackson

I think it’s safe to say that we are in uncharted waters.  Never before has the inventory of homes for sale in the North Fork been this low, nor the average price so high. Today, from Crawford, to Hotchkiss and Paonia there are only five homes for sale priced under $400,000. Say what? Cinco. Just…… continue reading

September 2021

February 4, 2022 by Mike Jackson

As summer wanes and the days are cooler, I’m being asked more frequently if the local real estate market is also cooling off.  The answer is no… and yes. First, the yes part. Because there are so few homes on the market, and prices have risen so much, folks who are trying to buy a…… continue reading

October 2021

February 4, 2022 by Mike Jackson

Having lived in the North Fork valley for a little over two decades, working in the real estate industry for most of that time, I’ve come to realize how much this area we call home isn’t like “the outside world.”  There are things here that are easy to take for granted, like the dark night…… continue reading

June 2021

February 4, 2022 by Mike Jackson

Voda, eau, agua, H2O, water. No matter how you spell it, it’s in short supply. Tom, our benevolent editor-in-chief, declared that this month’s paper would focus on the giver-of-life, water, so I’ll do my best to oblige. I think most folks have heard the rule of three, whereby you can survive about three minutes without…… continue reading

July 2021

February 4, 2022 by Mike Jackson

Well, once again, summer is flying by but thankfully Colleen and I have been able to find some time to get away for a few days here and there because the weekends haven’t been completely booked up showing property like they were last summer – undoubtedly because there aren’t very many to show. Does that…… continue reading

Pardon me… did you happen to see where I left my crystal ball?

January 11, 2021 by Mike Jackson

Pardon me… did you happen to see where I left my crystal ball? It’s no longer enough just to be able to cite recent sales statistics in response to a question about the local real estate market. Everyone already knows – it’s hot (or “Crazy” if you read last month’s column). Now, judging by some…… continue reading

Good Times or Bad, People Love Their Homes

June 10, 2020 by Mike Jackson

Recently I got a chuckle out of a meme posted on Fb with the heading: “If 2020 Was A Beer” above a photo of a glass, with one inch of beer and five inches of foam. While much of the economy (local, state and national) has taken it on the chin this spring, the housing…… continue reading

January Reflections

February 3, 2020 by Mike Jackson

If you’ve been a reader of this column for very long, this might sound familiar: like the infamy of December 7, 1941’s bombing of Pearl Harbor, so too was February 2010 infamous for the near collapse of the local real estate market.  Now, it’s a full decade past that cold, bleak, winter month when the…… continue reading

Who Cares About Plat Notes

October 3, 2018 by Mike Jackson

Have you ever noticed that the things we see most often can, over time, become less visible?  Like a dent in the fender of an old truck, it fits, like its been there forever, so we pay it no attention. Recently I helped a client sell his home of many years (which included two houses,…… continue reading

What our clients say

"Mike was incredibly organized, helpful and easy to work with. He knows the area well and also has a great sense the market. And because he knows the community so well, he was also able to help me find people to do some work in preparation for the sale of my house. He was easy-going and always quick to follow up. Easiest real estate transaction ever. I'd highly recommend him."
