I thought it would be good to start from the beginning to help buyers finding that perfect second or vacation home.
I used to say, pick a Realtor who knows the area. A lot of people don't want to make that commitment, or waste the real estate agent's time when they aren’t sure what they want. Now days with the internet there are ways to get to know a community before going there in person. One of my favorites is Google Earth, you can see the satellite views of almost anywhere and street views of many places (even Heeney Colorado).
View Larger Map I’ve used Google Earth to check out a Paris apartment and a beach house in Hawaii. Another source is the local chamber of commerce. Here’s a link to the Summit County Chamber. It’s a good place to see what kind of businesses are in the area. They also have a lot of statistics to give an idea of what is going on with the local demographics and economy. The County and/or Town web sites are good for checking out public data and other government issues that are affecting the area. Here’s the link for Summit County, Breckenridge, Frisco, Dillon, and Silverthorne. In Summit County you would want to check the ski area web sites, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Arapahoe Basin and Keystone.
On my web site I have a lot of information about Summit County follow the Relocation link.
