Ignorance Is bliss, Knowledge Is Pain

November 06, 2024/ Carrie George

When the 2004 tsunami hit Indonesia, Bill and I were on a cross country road trip from Colorado to Vermont.

We listened to music the whole trip and had no idea this catastrophic, world wide event had happened.

It was surreal to pick up a copy of the Boston Globe and see photos of the destruction on the front page. Watching the footage of the disaster on TV was horrifying and it felt weird, knowing this had all unfolded and we had no clue.

Ignorance is bliss and sometimes knowledge = pain.

I felt off center and disoriented. I recognize that might sounds selfish but I have no other way to describe it.

Has anything like this ever happened to you? I would love to hear your story.

Buyer

"Carrie helped my husband and I purchase a piece of property on Gore Pass outside Kremmling. She was perfect. She knew details about almost every lot we considered. We had some questions that we could have researched on our own, but she gathered the data we wanted to see and presented it to us in an easy to digest manner. I recommend her to people considering property purchases in the area on a regular basis. Yay Carrie!”

"Carrie is an excellent broker. She thought and acted before we knew we needed to be thinking. Carrie emailed to be sure we understood the closing expectations while moments from the birth of her daughter. Our closing wasn't the most pressing issue in her life and she made time to contact us."

Melanie & Steve

Buyer

"We have worked with Carrie in the past and know her knowledge of selling a home. We didn't even think twice about using her to help us purchase a home. She was very patient, knowledgeable through this process. She did not try to push a home on us that we did not get a good feeling for and would continue to check on us before we made the decision to purchase the home that we feel in love with pretty much from the time we walked in the front door. She is very up front and will tell you everything she can to help make the buying or selling process go a lot smoother."

Pamela

Buyer

"Carrie was a wonderful realtor and was quite professional in helping us to compete the purchase of our parcel of land. She was thoughtful and insightful from the beginning and beyond the closing. Carrie has been quick to respond to our communications and proved to be quite knowledgeable about the process but in particular to the area in which we purchased. We did take note that her name was on most of the listing signs and far outweighed any other realtor listings. I can absolutely see why she is well trusted by the people in the area. I would recommend Carrie to represent you on either side of the deal."

Jim & Tina

Buyer

"Carrie is a pleasure to work with. She went the extra mile to make a remote property buying experience as seamless as possible. On several occasions she scheduled and took care of on-site meetings with local entities, to resolve questions and meet contractors/utilities when I was unable to travel the two plus hours to the property. On the issues and questions that I had, she was very responsive and pushed the specific parties for prompt answers. Her local knowledge helped me connect to the right people for all the required property utility transfers, and she provided a great buyer/seller history of the property (including knowing most of my new neighbors). I loved the thoughtful house warming gifts she gave us after the closing. I would recommend Carrie for any real estate business you have in Grand County!"

Trampas & Elizabeth

Buyer

"We contacted Carrie upon relocating to Kremmling and trying to decide between renting or buying. She was extremely helpful with connecting us to rental options and showing us available properties. Carrie really listened to what we were looking for in a home and went out of her way to connect us to a property about to come on the market. This property ended up being exactly what we wanted and needed. Carrie helped make the process as smooth as possible and walked us through every step. We really enjoyed our experience and will work with Carrie again if the need arises."

Reed & Cheryl

Buyer

"Carrie was of great assistance in the purchase of a property. During 2 summers of searching she kept good options in front of us while not pressuring us to compromise on our wishes. While being low-key and easy to work with, when some issues arose with the sellers that could have derailed the deal, she worked effectively to resolve everything to our satisfaction. Throughout the whole process we felt that we were working with the right agent for us."

Buyer

Carol

Buyer

"I am an older single woman who never really thought that owning a house was a possibility for me. Carrie, from the very beginning, was able to answer all of my questions in a way that gave me confidence throughout the whole process. Her knowledge was amazing and offered in a gentle manner. The few times that I asked her something she did not know, she had the resources to get the answers for me. Now as I sit comfortably in my new home, I realize how well Carrie listened to what I said my needs and wishes were for a home. She matched them so well. Again... I never planned on being a home owner, thought it would be too difficult, but Carrie made it easy. I would recommend her to anyone."

Carrie is very approachable and willing to help in any way she can. She has gone above and beyond for us. We have since had Carrie sell our home. She was committed to us and sold our home in a timely manner. We couldn't be happier. Carrie is very professional and an excellent realtor. I would highly recommend her."
