Meet Your Host - Mark Dollard
When I pulled into Telluride for the 1995 Bluegrass Festival the sun had already been down for hours so it was not until morning that I first laid eyes on this stunning valley and its surrounding peaks. It was then that I knew I would forever be hooked on Telluride – never before had I been anywhere full of such raw and natural beauty. Still early into a successful career with IBM at the time, a quick relocation to Telluride was not in the cards. But after many more visits and countless life changing experiences I eventually made the move to advance my Telluride real estate career. If you are considering a move to or an investment in Telluride, I would welcome the opportunity to be your guide.
The best job description for my time in the corporate world would have been, “do whatever it takes to make the client happy”. And that still holds true today in Telluride while I strive to provide the high-level of service that my clients deserve and expect. I also spent a great deal of time developing financial analyses for my corporate clients and I am still a spreadsheet geek today. If you can think of a way to parse data related to the Telluride real estate market, odds are a similar analysis is already sitting on my hard drive. My educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Finance and a Master's degree in Marketing - both earned at the University of Colorado.
I live in the town of Telluride with my wife, Terrie, and our lab, Mojo. I am an Adjunct Professor at Mesa State College, teaching business courses in Telluride for the University Centers of the San Miguel, a local non-profit providing educational opportunities for folks in our remote corner of the San Juan Mountains. In fact, Telluride is home to over 100 non-profits, attracting some of the world’s most prolific artists, musicians and thinkers. Events occur year-round, but the summer festival schedule in Telluride is off the charts. Like many people, I moved to Telluride to ski, but the summers are what make me stay.
I appreciate you stopping by my site and I hope you find it useful. If you are going to be in my town and want to talk about the mountain or the Telluride real estate market, call or write me and we can meet for a coffee or a pint.
