I have been receiving a number of hits on the web site recently by people performing searches for Wyoming Tax Benefits or some permutation of that phrase.  It may or may not be well known that those of us who call this place home enjoy a total lack of state income tax, no state business […]

I don’t know what’s going on nationally, but in our local market there has been activity the past two weeks that was non existent the past several months.  In the month of June alone, our real estate office put 16 properties under contract, compared to fewer than that number total the past 6 months.  I’m […]

Earlier this year, I wrote about the lackluster start to the ski season - a blog post prompted by a discussion I had with an associate.  Just prior to Christmas Day, there was one run open at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, the result of aggressive snow-making by humans, not the heavens.  The Farmer’s Almanac […]

…”Don’t play ball in the house!”  She also said, “If you haven’t anything nice to say about (insert name of friend/foe/ex-girlfriend/that nun who was my eighth grade teacher here), then don’t say anything at all!”  The obvious lack of recent posts to this blog that I’m certain you have noticed might indicate that the same […]

The new tram opened for business this morning at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, marking the end of a nearly two-year project to make the top of our famous mountain accessible in a single nine-minute ride from the bottom of the resort.  It’s bigger, badder, and faster than the old tram, which now serves as […]

For those of you fortunate enough to live in Jackson Hole, you know what I’m talking about:  lately we’ve been blessed with warm temperatures (61 degrees feels absolutely glorious this time of year!), perfectly clear bluebird skies, and the kind of cool nights that make sleeping in all too easy to let happen.  Unfortunately, all […]

For the two or three of you who read my post from yesterday (thanks, mom and dad), this is a follow-up to that.  I have a client who made an offer on a home in the Aspens, a great neighborhood here in Jackson Hole.  The home had been on the market for a little more […]

While hiking with a friend this weekend, the topic of real estate came up in discussion, as it frequently does with this particular person.  He and I both started in this business at the same time, going through real estate school together, and sharing a desk at the office for a while, before he left […]
