My career began in the custom home and land development markets of Rancho Santa Fe, where I guided developers through every stage of the process, from mapping and design to construction and sales. That foundation gives my clients a unique advantage today, especially when evaluating land, understanding a property’s full potential, and making confident long-term decisions.
I specialize in helping buyers relocate to Buena Vista and the surrounding areas, and I understand firsthand that a move like this is more than just a transaction, it’s a major life transition. Having followed my own children and grandchildren here, I know what it feels like to step into a new community while navigating a competitive market. My goal is to make that process not only seamless, but genuinely exciting and rewarding.
What sets my approach apart is a commitment to building real relationships. I believe real estate is deeply personal, often representing a family’s largest asset and an important chapter in their story. I take pride in offering a high level of care, integrity, and attention to detail, ensuring every client feels supported, informed, and confident from start to finish.
Specialties include:
– Relocation to Buena Vista and Chaffee County
– Mountain and second homes
– Land and small development opportunities
– Arkansas River Valley properties
Whether you’re searching for a peaceful mountain retreat, planning to build, or making a long-term move to Chaffee County, I’m here to guide you with experience, insight, and a steady hand, so you don’t just find a home, you find the right fit for your life.

I wanted to share my incredible experience working with Lori May as our realtor. Choosing the right realtor is crucial when buying a home, and my wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than the one provided by Lori.
