I come to the real estate business from the construction industry. I have been building for 30+ years and have held construction licences in 17 of our local communities from Fort Collins to Littleton and Nederland to Limon. I also have been trained in Asbestos abatement. Mold and lead paint and old construction problems. Most recently I have built 102 Green Built Homes since 1992 including Highline Crossing and Harmony Village Co-Housing communities! I also have a lot of experience in remodeling Historic Porperties here in Boulder Colorado! I have been building and selling real estate for 10 years. Se Habla Espanol!

Hello. I am a recent transplant from upstate New York under relocation with Lockheed Martin. I'd like to share with you my experience working with Mike Shaw as my real estate agent because it was so extraordinary.
For various reasons, we had a very short time frame to work in and needed to find and close on a home in 25 days. Prior to the house hunting trip, Mike emailed more listings and set up a schedule of ten homes for our first day. Being very practical people, my fiance and I were not willing to settle for a home without doing a lot of shopping first. Thanks to Mike's willingness to meet with us early and stay late to set up the next day's schedule, we saw thirty houses in three days! House #29 was the winner.
But hard work was just one aspect of why we felt beyond fortunate that Mike was on our side. Being an eco-broker and retired builder, Mike's advice was invaluable. It is very scary moving to a new state and having to commit to buying a home.
Our experience with Mike didn't end there, however. Since we live out of state, distance presented its own set of difficulties. Mike put us in touch with inspectors, landscapers, utility companies, etc. He was present at our inspection when we could not be. He met with the builders several times on our behalf. He even obtained information about the energy efficiency of our new home to help us get lower interest rates. And, he always followed up - on paperwork, on inspection items, and on time-lines. Not a day went by through the entire 25 day ordeal that my fiance and I didn't declare out loud, "Thank God we have Mike!"
Sincerely,
Dr. Tiffanie G. D'Alberto.
