Western Colorado Real Estate Featured Agent: Mark Bott

Where are you from?

 

I’ve called many places home, but at this point, I am definitely a Coloradan.

What do you like most about living in Grand Junction?

 

There’s a lot to love about Grand Junction. It’s the perfect sized city, none of the congestion of major metropolitan areas but still big enough that you can almost always find what you’re looking for. I also love how much outdoor fun surrounds us. Mountains, rivers, you name it, and we can go out and enjoy.

How long have you worked in real estate?

 

I have varied professional experience from technical trades to customer service, but mostly in the media, a path that gave me a solid foundation in communication, storytelling and connecting with people. As a journalist, I won a Colorado Broadcasters Association award for investigative journalism, but what I’m proudest of was learning how to listen, ask the right questions and build trust, all of which I hope to carry into my work as a real estate professional today.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not working?

 

I’m passionate about camping, hiking, rock climbing and any kind of watersport. Music is another big part of my life. I love to sing and believe a good tune can make anything better. I do these things to be happy, and I hope to help others be happy as well. Most important of all, I am a husband and dad to three impressive kids. They keep me grounded, motivated and remind me every day why “home” really matters.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy or sell a home?
If I could give one tip it would be to measure twice and cut once. It’s good advice when you’re building something but it’s equally good for every other task you might have. Do your research, explore your options, and make the decision that you’ll be happy with. And when you need help with research and exploring options, give me a call. I’m happy to help.
