Having been a real estate agent for over three years, I can truly say, "I am having a ball!" For the past 17 years, I have been fortunate to serve our nation's heroes at the Colorado State Veterans Nursing Home. It has been a highlight of life and means so much to me...
I was born and raised in Huerfano County, and have been blessed with a wonderful husband and two beautiful sons.
My hobbies include hiking, riding my motorcycle, fishing, flowers, and enjoying the beauty of our surrounding mountains.
I enjoy meeting so many fascinating people, showing off our beautiful country, and making dreams come true.
As a member of the Bachman and Associates team, I pledge to provide you with outstanding customer service!

Since buying a vacation home near LaVeta in 2004, my husband Tom and I find ourselves spending more and more time in the high country.
We continue to operate our family farm south of Rocky Ford, CO; but our son Chris is doing most of the farming nowadays.
I have been a realtor since 2007, and what better place to show and sell property than in the beautiful LaVeta and Cuchara area!
Having found my “dream home” in LaVeta, I’d love to work with you to find yours. Whether you’re looking for a rustic cabin along a stream, a showplace in a mountain setting, a working ranch, or a building site, my goal will be to listen to your needs and find the perfect place for you.
Give me a call, and let’s get started!

Always remember, moving to a new area is one of the most important decisions you will make in their lifetime. Go slowly, find a broker who listens to what you say, and then be patient, your dream home really is out there.
Originally from Muskogee Oklahoma, I spent most of my adult life in Dallas Texas where I met my husband Mac. After many years in Texas we relocated in 1998 to LaVeta Colorado.
Living in this valley was our dream and we absolutely love the weather, the people and the easy life style.
I joined Bachman and Associates in 2005. I have developed a strong working knowledge of the land, homes, cabins, and ranches in this area.
In the last 10 years I have frequently been the number one or number two producing broker in our area.
Let me help you find your Dream.

I started my career as an electrical design engineer in the early 1980's and later progressed into business management. I co-founded and was CEO for two high technology start-up companies and later co-founded and was a Managing Director of a small venture capital firm which invested in and nurtured early-stage technology companies.
In the late 1990's my wife Cathy and I began exploring Colorado looking for our "dream property". After exploring the western slope, the front range, and the I-70 corridor, we finally "discovered" the Cuchara Valley and as they say "the rest is history". We fell in love with the area and bought our dream property in 2000, and subsequently moved here as full-time residents in 2003.
What we love most about the Cuchara Valley is the astonishing beauty. The unique rock dike walls, mountain vistas, abundant wildlife, and irrigated hay meadows create a setting unlike any other in Colorado.

As a Colorado native growing up in Aspen’s Roaring Fork Valley, the mountain lifestyle is what I know and love! Boy, do we have that here in Huerfano County!
Being a professional pilot for thirty years has given me the opportunity to explore the world searching for the perfect spot. It was the incredible beauty of the area that drew my husband, Mark, and I here in 1999 but we have been delighted to also find such a wonderful, welcoming community.
I have always been drawn to beautiful, unique properties and architecture. Let’s go look at what Huerfano County has to offer you to make your mountain dreams come true!

There is a saying in our mountain valley, “I may not have been born in Cuchara, but I got here as fast as I could! And so it is true with me, after a varied career in marketing, real estate and sales, my wife, Dona and I arrived in the Cuchara Valley in the summer of 2007.
My career has taken me in many directions, from advertising sales to ad agency ownership, from resort property management to real estate marketing, from rehabilitating older homes to providing construction services for others… I’ve created the skills and talents to help you achieve your real estate ownership goals.
Whatever you’re looking for, a seasonal vacation home, a full time residence or land upon which to build, I can help you create that dream and bring all the pieces together.
I hope you’ll allow me to share my view of Southern Colorado with you! The Cuchara Valley is calling!
Give me a call today to make those dreams come true.
