Meet  Buyer's Resource BUYERS
Introducing John and Eva Leon, who moved to Frisco in November 2015. Todd helped them locate an ideal home for their situation, as John's brother Mark also lives with them in his lock off apartment downstairs.

John is a retired Shell engineer, while Eva currently works from home in the mortgage industry. She loves the wonderful mountain view from her home office, which she finds to be a huge upgrade from her former Houston office.

John and Eva spend a good deal of their time pursuing outdoor and volunteer activities. The Leon's also vigorously support the local economy via our restaurants and taverns.

"Working with Todd and Buyer's Resource was easy and enjoyable!"  ~ John 


  
 
 
SHOULDER SEASON...?

There's a new normal going on in Summit County. We no longer have a Fall shoulder season. It seems a day doesn't go by without a short discussion about "the head count on Main Street"; "How busy the restaurants are in early November ?"; "How full the parking lots are at the hotels in the off season ?

We no longer have ghost towns after the aspen leaves have disappeared and before Thanksgiving, the traditional start of the ski season. Not as many signs on business doors saying "Closed for the off Season" or "See you in December", and fewer 2 for 1 restaurant ads.

Note...
Summit County occupancy was up nearly 20% in September versus 2015.

In bookings for travel to mountain destinations for October and the first part of winter 2016/17 are very strong.

Summit County on-the-books occupancy for October 2016 is up 7.9 percent compared to 2015 

More folks in Denver; more beds in Summit County and a stronger economy are adding up to shorter shoulder seasons.

About Buyer's Resource / Eby Real Estate

 

 Honest        Knowledgeable       Patient


Back in 1987 Buyer's Resource Founder Chris Eby recognized the inherent conflict of interest in the traditional real estate model that promotes brokerages doing both sides of real estate transactions. Then, as now, the only solution to eliminating the deceptive, conflicted nature of the traditional real estate model is to pick one side of the transaction, and specialize on that. We've been working for Buyers, and only Buyers, ever since.

Colorado native Todd Sandoval joined the team in 1996 and our newest buyer's agent, Kelsey Withrow, a Summit native, joined the team in 2014. We are proud to say that we are beginning our 29th year of representing buyers--- exclusively.
  
Buyer's Resource is an Exclusive Buyer Agency. We never list properties and are committed to advocating for and protecting the interests of real estate buyer at all times.
