How to find the right real estate agent
WORKING WITH A REAL ESTATE
AGENT can give both buyers and sellers an edge in what continues to be a challenging real estate market. Agents, brokers and realtors are professionals who have distinct expertise and knowledge of the process of buying and selling homes. That expertise is evidenced by how many people rely on real estate professionals each year. A recent Zillow Group Consumer Housing Trends report found 88% of homeowners choose to list their homes with a real estate agent when it comes time to sell. Individuals understand that it can be in their best interests to work with real estate professionals, but they may not know where to look as they seek to work with one. Here are some tips for finding the right match in a real estate professional.
• KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IN REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS. Real estate agents are required by the state in which they
operate to pass a real estate license exam. Real estate brokers take it a step further and undergo more training, which could bring additional experience to the table. Realtors are members of the National Association of Realtors, and beholden to its strict code of ethics. These individuals also may have undergone additional training that qualifies them to work with certain types of clients, such as seniors.
• SEEK REFERRALS. Friends or family members, or even others in the community, can put people in touch with real estate professionals. When asking for referrals, individuals can inquire about certain professionals and how they handled buying and/ or selling a home.
• WORK WITH THE RIGHT TYPE OF AGENT. Generally speaking, real estate agents either work with buyers or sellers in the transaction. Many will do both, but some specialize in buying or selling. Find a
professional who either does both or specializes in your position.
• RESEARCH AN AGENT’S ONLINE PRESENCE. Use the internet to see if the agent has a website, a particular philosophy or a specialty. This also may be a place to check online reviews. Don’t be dissuaded by one or two poor reviews. However, if there are many, it may be best to look elsewhere.
• MEET AND INTERVIEW POTENTIAL AGENTS. Individuals should speak with a couple of real estate professionals to see what they offer. This is a good way to determine if there is a connection there, and whether the agent will get the results needed. A well-prepared
agent will come with data, including “comps” of properties in the area. Professionals typically have information about the current market trends and a portfolio of the homes they have brokered recently.
• GO WITH GUT INSTINCTS. If it’s between two people of equal qualification, select the person with whom you have a stronger rapport. This person will be guiding you through a sizable financial transaction, so comfort level is important.
Finding the right real estate professional can take some time. But the right professional will guide clients through the often complex and occasionally frustrating process of buying or selling property.

What to know about refinancing a mortgage
WHEN INTEREST RATES ARE REDUCED, it helps more people transition to homeownership. According to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, also known as Freddie Mac, the average interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in mid-September 2021 was 2.86. Just ten years earlier, the average rate was 4.09. That’s a significant dip, and one that’s saving today’s homeowners tens of thousands of dollars over the life of their mortgages.
Interest rates dipped during the pandemic and have remained low ever since. That’s unlikely to last forever, which has given many homeowners a sense of urgency regarding refinancing. Refinancing can be financially advantageous, but there are some things homeowners should know prior to contacting their lenders.
PROS
AND CONS
It’s hard to blame homeowners who jump at the chance to refinance their mortgages. Refinancing is often associated with significantly lower monthly payments, and such savings can be used to finance home improvements, pay for tuition or build retirement nest eggs. However, homeowners won’t necessarily save money over the long haul if they’re refinancing an existing 30-year mortgage with another 30-year mortgage.
The mortgage experts at Mortgage Calculator note that a Change Terms mortgage refinance is characterized by a shift to a loan charging a lower interest rate. The initial savings with such a refinance are undeniable, but changing from one 30-year to another 30-year restarts the mortgage clock, which can add years to the time homeowners will be repaying their debt. As a result, homeowners may end up paying more interest over time than they might have had they just kept their initial mortgage. Homeowners interested in a Change Terms refinance may want to look into switching from a 30-year to a 15-year mortgage. A shorter term mortgage will increase the monthly payment, but the loan will reach maturity much faster, greatly reducing the amount of interest homeowners will pay over the life of the mortgage.
COSTS OF REFINANCING
Lower monthly payments might be the number that catches homeowners’ eyes as they look to refinance, but it’s important that homeowners recognize that refinancing is not free. In fact, the personal finance experts at Kiplinger note that refinancing incurs many of the same costs that homeowners had to pay when they signed their initial mortgage papers. That includes fees, taxes and appraisal costs. These costs are sometimes paid up front, but they also might be rolled into the loan balance. In the latter instance, homeowners could be paying interest on their refinancing costs. Homeowners who are refinancing solely because of lower interest rates should know that some lenders raise interest rates to compensate for refinancing costs. That can negate the savings and end up costing homeowners more money than the original mortgage.
Refinancing is an option for homeowners who want to save money. Homeowners can speak with a financial advisor to determine if this is the best way to save money over the long haul or if refinancing will ultimately cost them more over the life of the mortgage.
IF YOU CHOOSE TO REFINANCE
Refinancing a home involves several key steps.
• First, assess your financial goals, such as lowering monthly payments or accessing equity.
• Next, check your credit score to ensure it meets lender requirements; a higher score can secure better rates.
• Then, research different lenders and mortgage products to find the best fit for your needs.
• Once you choose a lender, gather necessary documents, including income statements, tax returns and information about your current mortgage.
• Submit your application and wait for the lender’s underwriting process, which evaluates your financial situation and the property’s value.
If approved, review the loan terms carefully, including interest rates and closing costs. Upon agreement, schedule a closing date where you’ll sign the new loan documents. After closing, your new loan will pay off the existing mortgage, and you’ll start making payments on the refinanced loan, ideally with improved terms that better align with your financial goals.

How to approach a new project
by Hunter Harrell
INTERIOR DESIGN IS THE KEY TO UNLOCKING A HOME’S FULL POTENTIAL. Design is all about creating efficient environments that satisfy functional living. It is an investment that translates personal style into surrounding spaces. For some, it may be simple to identify a style and implement a plan to incorporate elements to express themselves. Others may find that a DIY effort leads to more trial and error. While there is no right or wrong way to approach an interior design project, here are some helpful guidelines to assemble attractive rooms that exude authenticity.
OUTLINE
PRIORITIES AND STYLE
Consider what makes you feel comfortable and inspired. Local interior designer Osha Justice of OM Design said “It’s important to be able to articulate or show (a designer) what you like or don’t like. Sometimes a piece of art, sculpture or clothing can be great inspiration to begin the project.”
Establish the scope of the project, whether refreshing a rental unit or furnishing a custombuild. From there, create a mood board or visual concept that reflects the desired outcome. “I ask clients to start a Pinterest board or back in the old days I would have them clip magazine
pictures,” Justice said. A client’s wardrobe and favorite outdoor locations inspire color and texture as well as decor in designs, she said.
To find examples she can incorporate in the home, Justice said she recommends observing the selections at a variety of local or regional stores and showrooms. While online tools can help homeowners visualize items in their own space, browsing hardware and homegoods stores can remove doubts of an item’s color, size or texture that may be lost in online product images.
SET A REALISTIC BUDGET
Once the focus of the design is clear, consider the financial side of the project. The budget should accommodate both needs and desires. If a planned design requires a contractor for a task, like fixing structural issues, repairing plumbing or electrical systems, it considerably changes the budget.
“Remodels are much more time and labor intensive, so they always cost more” Justice said. “Depending how hands-on the client is or wants to be is a big factor in what it will cost in design time.”
However, cosmetic updates to improve aesthetics, comfort or personal preferences, such as upgrading finishes, adding decorative elements, or incorporating smart home technology, can be more affordable and less permanent.
“A client with a more sensitive budget may want to look at a refresh of their space.” Justice said. “Pillows, rugs, accessories and paint can do wonders in refreshing a room.”
DRAFT A PLAN
Look at the layout and floor plan. Assess the space, noting the lighting and any architectural features. This is the point where it’s not too late to take those “before” photos. Strategically invest to craft a comfortable environment for your lifestyle.
“I always recommend investing in the parts of the home that are used and seen the most. For example, floors are high impact and highly visible areas of the home. Sofas and dining chairs are highly visible and used pieces of furniture that should be invested in for quality and comfort.”
Research and select materials, colors, decor, fixtures and other furnishings that align with the design plan. Coordinate purchases, then follow through with the installation of the design. Snap that “after” photo and share your work with the world.

In a serene, private neighborhood surrounded by mountain vistas west of downtown, Lake Durango serves as both a water source for the surrounding communities, and a habitat for native flora and fauna. The rolling grasslands speckled with towering ponderosa pine, gamble oak and other native trees and shrubs shelter and sustain local wildlife, such as deer, elk, turkey and waterfowl.
Settled against the backdrop of this picturesque waterfront is a one-of-a-kind home designed by renowned architect Jon Pomeroy and constructed by Tom Gorton. The custom-built escape in the gated estate sits on 35 acres located 6 miles from downtown Durango.
EXPERT DESIGN
Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright design, the 3,763-square-foot residence offers single-level living that flows seamlessly into the outdoor spaces. The construction incorporates elements and materials that bestow the home with charming Southwest character, such as stones collected from local ancestral Puebloan sites and hand-laid by master craftsman Dave Manley.
The outdoor living space features a covered porch and a 1,440-square-foot patio with a hot tub and beautiful built-in firepit complete with stone seating. A lush lawn and a blend of foliage quenched by sprinklers frames the contemporary ranch-style abode.
Built with convenience and recreation in mind, the home has a heated, oversized three-car garage with storage rooms and enclosed cabinets that provides plenty of space for vehicles and other outdoor gear. Additionally, there is an attached and heated 440-square-foot woodworking shop, which could be converted into an artist’s studio, home gym or additional living space.
INSPIRED INTERIOR
Inside the custom entry door, 120-feet of wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the exterior. The energy efficient double-pane windows welcome an abundance of natural light and incredible scenery inside the open-floor living space.
A large Rumford-style stone wood-burning fireplace is both a highly-efficient heat source and beautiful fixture. Stained concrete floors (with radiant in-floor heating) and mahogany accents flow throughout the living, dining and kitchen areas to merge the home’s natural exterior elements with its interior design.
Built for professional chefs, the large kitchen boasts both spacious granite countertops and a butcher block surface with wood cabinets. At the heart of the kitchen, an island offers additional preparation and storage space. It is outfitted with high-end Bosch, Thermador, SubZero and Gaggenau appliances, including two dishwashers, a cooktop and double-oven.
There is also a large butler’s pantry, which includes a second refrigerator and a temperature-controlled wine room that holds up to 550 bottles.
An attractive ¾ guest bathroom with a bronze sink located off the main living area provides guests with easy access to the facilities. While the separated laundry and utility space features a washer and dryer, storage, counter space and access to a dog yard.
COMFORTABLE ROOMS
Located in the west wing, the home includes two carpeted guest rooms which share an

adjoining full bathroom with double vanities. Each room has large picture windows that capture incredible views and the glow of natural light for a relaxing atmosphere.
The home has a small library for a homeowner to fill with personality. It features built-in storage complete with cabinets and open shelves to display books, photos and other decorations. Additional closet space in the library can accommodate guests if needed.
Separated from the guest bedrooms for privacy, the primary suite is a restful respite from the weather with all the benefits of nature’s beauty beyond the window. The room includes a gas fireplace for warmth in the winter season. The suite includes a large walk-in closet, and a luxury bathroom with double vanities, a shower and a soaking tub for ultimate relaxation.
A PLACE TO CALL HOME
Though located in a secluded neighborhood in a gated community, this lakefront property is less than 15 minutes from downtown Durango. The historic Main Avenue is lined with independent restaurants and small retailers. These local businesses provide access to all of life’s creature comforts and offer enriching entertainment.
Durango is best known as a hub for outdoor recreation, such as hiking and biking, boasting nearly 300 miles of trails to explore within 30 minutes of town. Nearby, alpine lakes and rivers provide excellent year-round fishing as well.
Access to lakefront living at 7,350 feet in elevation in a beautiful Colorado mountain community is just a tour away.

Tips when shopping for insurance
INSURANCE IS A NECESSITY that can provide a financial safety net in the case of accidents, natural disasters and other emergencies. Adequate coverage can ensure an individual’s life is not turned upside down when an unexpected event threatens to drain the bank account.
The stakes are indeed high when shopping for insurance, as consumers want to be sure the policy they ultimately choose is going to safeguard them if or when they need it. With that in mind, individuals can consider these tips when shopping for insurance.
• RESIST ANY INCLINATION
TO MAKE
PRICE
YOUR
TOP
PRIORITY. Price should not be an afterthought when shopping for insurance, but it’s important that consumers avoid making it their mission to find the lowest possible premiums. Though a lowcost policy might suit immediate financial needs, such a policy may not offer a level of coverage necessary to prevent adverse financial outcomes should one experience an accident or injury. It’s best to prioritize getting the necessary coverage over the lowest possible policy cost.
• COMPARISON SHOP.
Once you have identified the level of coverage needed, begin comparison shopping. Most insurance providers can issue quotes in a matter of minutes,
and many offer similar levels of coverage. So the process of gathering quotes on policies offering similar, if not identical, coverage should not take long.
•
SHOP AROUND FOR DISCOUNTS, TOO.
Savvy consumers know to shop around for discounts that can lower the cost of a given policy. For example, many providers discount their homeowners’ policies if policyholders install security features in their homes. Home alarm systems, security cameras and even added exterior lighting might help lower the cost of homeowners’ insurance policies. Such discounts can typically be found regardless of which type of policy you’re looking for, so shop around or speak directly with customer service representatives to identify ways to lower the cost of coverage.
•
CHOOSE ADDITIONAL COVERAGE FOR
PARTICULARLY VALUABLE ITEMS.
Certain items, like engagement rings, may require additional coverage not offered by standard policies. For example, a standard homeowner’s policy may not cover expensive jewelry. But losing an item like an engagement ring to theft or a natural disaster can be emotionally devastating and costly to replace. Such a blow is easier to manage when policyholders know the items are fully covered.
Insurance is necessary whether individuals are looking to protect their health, homes, cars or financial futures. A few simple strategies can ensure consumers have the coverage they need to avoid financial ruin should they experience an accident, injury or natural disaster.
Move In Ready
Diversified Roofing finds industry niche
by Benjamin Brewer
FOUNDED IN JUNE 2021, Diversified
Roofing is rising to the top as a premier roofing company in the Four Corners. Specializing in both commercial and residential roofing services, the company was built on a foundation of experience and a commitment to exceptional customer service. With over 20 years of combined experience, co-founders Alex Gutierrez, Jon Taylor and Raul Garcia have established a reputation for quality, professionalism and attention to detail.
Reflecting on the company’s origins, Taylor said “We wanted to bring a high-quality customer service roofing company to Durango, which was lacking when we first started.”
Diversified Roofing was initially conceived as part of a broader construction company, Diversified General Contracting (DGC), but roofing became its primary focus due to overwhelming demand.
“We got so busy with the roofing that we kind of just stuck to that one thing,” Gutierrez said.
A standout feature of Diversified Roofing is its commitment to keeping all labor in-house, a rarity in the Durango roofing market. This decision allows the company to maintain high standards of quality and reliability, something that can be difficult when relying on subcontractors.
“Ninety-nine percent of our labor is in-house. They’re all local to the area,” Taylor said. “You don’t control [subcontractors]. They want to hurry up and get a job done, get paid and run to another job.”
By employing local workers and keeping everything in-house, Diversified Roofing can ensure that each project is completed to their exacting standards.
Though rooted in roofing, Diversified Roofing also prides itself on giving back to the
community. They regularly host barbecues for the Boys and Girls Club and contribute to local organizations, such as the VFW and the La Plata Family Coalition. Additionally, the company plans to make a big impact with a new initiative to give a free roof installation to a family or individual in need in La Plata County before the winter season arrives.
The team’s dedication to their craft is also evident in its attention to detail. While Taylor and Gutierrez are tight-lipped about the specifics of their methods, they emphasize that the company’s roofing techniques are tailored to Durango’s unique climate, and seldom used by other contractors in the area.
“We do some things differently with the way we install our roofs, especially for winter,” said Taylor.
This dedication to innovation and quality has paid off, with the company boasting a remarkably low callback rate for repairs or warranty work.
Diversified Roofing is certified and backed by five to seven manufacturers, said Taylor, including industry giant Owens Corning, a distinction rare among roofing contractors in the area. This rigorous certification process takes over a year and involves inspections of randomly selected projects after completion to ensure quality. The team also regularly attends training sessions to stay current with industry advancements, as continuing education is a key priority for the company. Gutierrez emphasized the hands-on approach that sets Diversified Roofing apart.
day. We’re on-site, checking things ourselves to make sure everything meets our standards.”
“It gives [the client] someone to talk to as well,”
Taylor said. “When you’re there communicating with the customer and answering questions, they get that peace of mind. And you know what they’re gonna do? They’re gonna have a great experience, and they’ll go tell the next person.”
“One really important thing about our company, too, that I want to bring up, is that our jobs–we’re always involved,” Gutierrez said. “My brother [Raul], he’s an owner as well. We’re on-site once we finish with a job. Being an owner is not just like, ‘Oh, we own the company,’ we’re involved in the day-to-
In just a few short years, Diversified Roofing has earned a reputation for superior craftsmanship, securing the esteemed “Best of Durango” award twice. However, the team is not resting on their laurels. The company is expanding its reach, with plans to open a new office in Pagosa Springs to better serve that community. Looking ahead, Taylor and Gutierrez are committed to growth while maintaining their focus on local markets.
From the iconic Durango Train Station to residential projects down the street, Diversified Roofing has established itself as a leader in quality, customer service and community involvement. As it continues to grow, the company remains grounded in the principles that have guided them from the beginning.
Taylor highlighted the importance of direct communication, on-site presence and customer satisfaction in Diversified Roofing’s success.
“It gives [the client] someone to talk to as well,” Taylor said. “When you’re there communicating with the customer and answering questions, they get that peace of mind. And you know what they’re gonna do? They’re gonna have a great experience, and they’ll go tell the next person.”
The newly renovated three-bedroom, one bath home features modern amenities, such as granite counter tops and island in the kitchen, a lighted curio cabinet, upgraded sink and fixtures in the bathroom. There is a wood burning stove, wood box & crawl space, security system in place, additional freezer in laundry room, and many sweet touches throughout.
Warning signs a bathroom needs work
HOMEOWNERS KNOW THAT THE WORK INVOLVED TO MAINTAIN A HOME IS NEVER TRULY COMPLETE.
The end of one project has a tendency to roll into the planning of another, and so it goes for years on end. Homeowners who choose when to begin a renovation project are fortunate. It’s far more common that homeowners spot an issue and then realize it’s time to renovate. When it comes to bathrooms, which can be among the more expensive spaces to renovate in a home, homeowners can keep an eye out for various signs suggesting the room needs a remodel.
MOLD AND MILDEW
Perhaps the most glaring sign a bathroom needs to be renovated or remodeled, mold and mildew pose a notable threat to human health. In fact, the United States Environmental Protection Agency reports that molds can cause allergic reactions. Individuals sensitive to mold may develop symptoms that mimic reactions to outdoor allergens like pollen, including sneezing, runny nose, red eyes and dermatitis (skin rash). Mold also can trigger asthma attacks in people allergic to mold who have the condition. Mold can grow in poorly ventilated bathrooms, such as those without a fan or ones in which fans are not working properly. Mold and mildew will return if it’s merely scrubbed away, so the underlying cause of mold must be addressed to prevent its return.
SMALL SIGNS OF FADING
Stains, peeling paint, cracked paint and gaps in grout are small signs of fading that indicate a bathroom is in need of repair if not
a complete remodel. These issues also can serve as warning signs of larger issues, such as water issues and structural problems, so they should not be merely written off as minor problems or eyesores.
RISING WATER BILLS
Some signs a bathroom could use a little TLC are not necessarily confined to the room itself. If water bills are rising significantly and do not align with price increases or an uptick in water consumption, homeowners may have leaking pipes. Such pipes might be beneath a bathroom sink or behind tiled walls. Discoloration on the walls, peeling paint or wallpaper and/or a musty odor may indicate leaks inside a bathroom wall. If coupled with rising water bills, these signs could be indicative of a significant issue that requires immediate attention.
ISSUES WITH TILES
Cracked or damaged tiles in the shower and bathtub or even on the floor are unsightly and also pose a safety hazard. Cracked floor tiles can lead to slips and falls, which can be especially harmful to older residents. And cracked tiles within the shower and tub area can indicate water problems behind the walls or general disrepair. Such issues should be addressed before they escalate into something larger.
DATED FIXTURES
Of course, some issues affecting a bathroom are not necessarily health or safety hazards but more an affront to modern styles and current trends. If walking into a bathroom unintentionally feels like stepping into a bygone era, then it’s probably time to consider a renovation or remodel.
Luxury features for relaxation
HOMEOWNERS WANT TO VIEW THEIR HOMES AS A RESPITE FROM ALL THAT GOES ON OUTSIDE THEIR DOORS. Indeed, investing in the ideal escape can ensure everyone looks forward to walking through the front door at the end of the day.
A renovated bathroom can completely transform how individuals feel inside the home. The following are some features to consider when remodeling a bathroom with relaxation in mind.
OPEN SHOWER
An open shower is a visually stunning addition to any bathroom. Such showers give a bathroom a more open look, thanks in part to the fact that these modern features do not feature a door or require the use of a shower curtain. The result is a clean look that many people associate with a luxury hotel. When speaking with a contractor about an open shower install, homeowners can ask about a half-wall to safeguard against water splashing out of the shower.
HEATED FEATURES
Additional features to keep everyone calm and warm can be considered when upgrading the bathroom. Radiant flooring can ensure everyone’s toes remain toasty, and the installation of such a feature can eliminate the need for floor mats and bath mats that some homeowners may not like. In addition, a heat lamp can help ensure residents stay warm until they’re ready to leave
the bathroom. Commit further to the heat theme with a heated towel rack, which is another feature associated with luxury hotels that can be just as enjoyable at home.
DEEP TUB
An open shower creates an instant feeling of luxury, but after a long day in the office or on the slope, few things are more relaxing than a warm bath. The National Kitchen & Bath Association notes that luxury bathrooms featuring soaking tubs are wildly popular, and that vaunted status is undoubtedly due to the benefits of being immersed in warm waters. Be prepared to compare design and material options as well as plumbing considerations and safety features.
SKYLIGHT
Even if the goal of a luxury bathroom is to leave the world outside, allowing some natural light inside is a great way to add a little extra calm to the room. Floor-to-ceiling windows may seem appealing in brochures or advertisements, but such features do not create the sense of privacy many people prefer in their bathrooms. One or two skylights can create that sense of privacy and still allow for natural light to enter the room, making this an option that provides the best of both worlds.
These features and more can help homeowners transform their bathrooms into luxurious respites from the outside world.
