Harvesting hay is a significant part of my ranch operation; we need several hundred tons to get our cows, bulls, heifers, and horses through the winter.  I am often asked by fellow agents and buyers alike about hay production in our area here in Northwest Colorado.  I compiled a list of questions I commonly get, along with …

    Water rights – Do you need a Stock Certificate

    Most ditches in northwest Colorado deliver water just as they did a hundred years ago and most are organized just like they were back then–water owners either cooperate or argue (or both) over how the water is delivered and managed.  When multiple water users share the same ditch for delivery of water, absent an agreement or …

    Routt County Skyline Regulations

    Having amazing views outside your window is a significant factor people consider when buying or building homes in the mountains. Likewise, no one wants a new neighbor to build a mansion on the top of a mountain or hill in their view corridor. The natural contour of hills and mountains is interrupted by new homes …

    Colorado’s 35-acre rule can impact larger ranches, too

    Colorado’s 35-acre rule can have unforeseen consequences when large landowners parcel off a portion of their ranch. Senate bill 35, passed in 1972, basically stipulates that subdivision of land resulting in acreage fewer than 35 must be approved by the county. I was recently part of an off-market ranch sale that took a little bit of …

    What Our Clients Say

    Steady Hand and Clear Mind

    I am so grateful to have found Hallies steady hand and clear mind to work with us on the sale of our condo and office in downtown Steamboat Springs. Hallie was always prepared and went the extra mile to research for our specific needs. She took care of details before we even knew to ask and was very good when its came to resolving a potential area of difficulty in the sale. I am happy to recommend her highly.

    Jenni McPeek

    Client

    Stands Out Above the Rest

    I worked with Hallie on purchasing a property which I had very specific requirements for. She worked with me for over a year to help find a property that fit the needs. Being a home builder I work with over a hundred realtors a year and have several employed agents. It is very seldom that one agent stands out above the rest. With Hallie she is without a doubt one of the absolute best agents I have every worked with. She was so on top of everything from her communication, thoroughness, attention to detail, and ability to tracking down answers I was seeking. I cannot recommend her enough. She is a unicorn!

    Jonathan Hanson, Hanson Builders

    Client

    Trustworthy and Smart

    Hallie is hardworking, dedicated, and goes far above and beyond to make your real estate transaction as smooth as possible. She is trustworthy and smart and an absolute pleasure to work with! I look forward to working with her again in the future.

    Walker Family

    Client

    Encouragement and Professionalism

    Hallie Myhre is truly exceptional.  A realtor friend referred her to us to sell our mountain property and Hallie did not disappoint. She came prepared to our first meeting with market research and a strategy for selling the land. We ran into an issue with our title that required multiple legal steps to clear up. Hallie was patient and steadfast supporting us through this process. She even took our challenge as an opportunity to further her knowledge, taking a continuing education course on the probate process and was able to help us better understand the necessary requirements. Selling a property that had been in my family for more than 50 years was emotional, but Hallie’s encouragement and professionalism throughout the process carried us through this complicated and very difficult sale. I highly recommend Hallie and would work with her again in a heartbeat.

    Commitment to See it Through

    Christy provides clients with an unprecedented commitment to marketing and closing a sale—she approaches each project with commitment to see it through including an ability to problem solve and get a property bought or sold!

    Jenna H. Keller, Esq.-Keller Law, LLC

    Connections and Knowledge

    Peabody has significant land holdings across the nation, and handles the majority of all real estate transactions in-house. We hired Christy to market and sell a complex ranch with a luxury home. Her connections and knowledge of land, water/minerals produced a successful close in just over a year. Her hustle and determination made it happen!

    Brian Yansen, Director Real Estate, Peabody

    Honesty and Professionalism

    “Christy knows real estate. She will not inflate expectations to get a listing. She has been honest with me. I appreciate her professionalism. I trust her to advise me.”

    John Redd, CPA

    Client

    Balancing Complexities

    “In the 13 years that we’ve worked with her, across multiple transactions, Christy Belton has always brought a unique capability of real estate expertise, combined with ranching insight and respect for the land. These talents were especially evident in the very complex sale of our family’s legacy ranch, the Home Ranch in Clark, CO. Brokering a sale which balances the complexities of multiple family interests, unique buyer demands, and the conservation and ranching ethos of our valley is no simple task – it requires a swift intelligence, the ability to listen closely to the both the sellers’ and buyers’ needs, and the deftness to negotiate thorny issues with decisiveness and resolve. We have seen many times over that these are the qualities that one can expect from Christy any time that she enters a deal. We feel immensely fortunate to have worked with Christy in the past and we would not hesitate to work with her again.”
