Crested Butte has a lot of people with real estate licenses. In fact, realtors probably out number dogs in Crested Butte. However, the age old equation of 20% of the people do 80% of the work hits home. Bernie works with Colorado Realty of Crested Butte, and is a full time realtor. It is not uncommon to find him in the office at 7:30 AM or 8:30 PM seven days a week.
Thomas Jefferson reportedly once said something like “The harder I work, the luckier I get”. This same theory has worked for Bernie. He has consistently been among the top performers of all the realtors in the Gunnison Valley. This means he gets things done whether you are Buying or Selling. And, one secret ingredient that he uses is that he makes Buying or Selling real estate fun. “I realize that a real estate investment may be the biggest transaction many of us make in a lifetime, and is a serious business”. However, it’s much different than say....the stock market. Real estate is not only a good investment, but is something we can enjoy more than a paper stock certificate. “Lets make it a fun experience along with a very serious investment experience. Life’s too short not to.”
Bernie's roots settled in Colorado back in 1880 when his Grandfather came over Cottonwood Pass in a horse drawn wagon, settled near Aspen, and aquired a cattle ranch where Bernie would spend much of his young life. He left the ranch for college and recieved a Bachelors degree from CSU but didnt want to leave his roots so he managed dual careers; one as a certified cattle rancher and the other as president of two Colorado banks specializing in real estate lending.
These days Bernie focuses on assisting people with buying or selling property in the Gunnison Valley. He is an avid skier and loves the outdoors of the Crested Butte area. Bernie has two daughters named Natasha and Tamara and a son named David.
