Your Relocation Resource for Grand Junction Real Estate

I’m Paul Aspelin, a licensed REALTOR® since 2001, serving the entire Grand Valley including Fruita, Palisade, Grand Junction, Orchard Mesa, Mack, Loma and Mesa County. Let me help you move to Grand Junction CO!

That’s our moving truck by the “Welcome to Colorful Colorado” sign! We sold our home of 26 years in Victoria, MN to move to Grand Junction to be closer to our daughters. After we searched high and low, we chose Grand Junction, Colorado specifically. We checked out other small towns and regions of Colorado and Arizona but kept coming back to the Grand Valley.

My wife and I know what it’s like to hunt for a new place to call home. We spent years researching and learned a lot of great things about living in this community. And now we are sharing those tips with you on this website. Not just things to do in Grand Junction, there are plenty of websites and social media feeds about that, but we are sharing with you specifics about moving to Fruita, Grand Junction, Palisade, or Mesa County. Follow along as we celebrate this wonderful Colorado community. We love living in Grand Junction CO!

If you are planning a visit to Grand Junction and the Grand Valley, you are not alone. According to Visit Grand Junction, we had 3.2 million visitors in 2023. The number one comment they get from visitors is “Your community is so friendly!” Tourism is important to this area, but there’s a clear mission to keep the residents the number one priority.

“My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Paul as our REALTOR for the purchase of our very first home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very start, Paul went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable, informed, and supported at each step of the journey. His expertise and attention to detail were invaluable as we navigated the complex process of finding a home in our price range, negotiating offers, and handling all the paperwork. Paul was incredibly responsive, always available to answer our questions (and we had a lot!) and quick to provide updates and insights as new listings came up. He took the time to truly understand what we were looking for, which made the search process efficient and rewarding. It was clear that he genuinely cared about helping us find the perfect home, not just any home. Thanks to Paul’s guidance and dedication, we found a home that we absolutely love and feel confident in. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a REALTOR who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dedicated to making the home-buying experience smooth and enjoyable. Paul will be our first call for any real estate needs in the future!” – Kennedy J., Grand Junction CO (originally published on my Zillow profile)
