What Grand Junction Relocation Buyers Find Shocking About Buying a Home in Mesa County

(And Honestly… I Did Too)

Grand Junction relocation buyers moving to Colorado’s Western Slope tell me the same thing almost every time:

“This feels different than what we’re used to.”

They’re right.

After decades of working in a highly regulated metro real estate market before relocating to Western Colorado myself, I’ve experienced both ends of the spectrum. Rigid systems with standardized rules… and more flexible markets like Mesa County, where buyers are expected to ask better questions.

The buying process here isn’t broken.
It’s simply different.

And for Grand Junction relocation buyers coming from states where disclosures are detailed, permits are expected, inspections are standardized, and procedures are predictable, those differences can feel surprising—or even unsettling—if no one explains them before an offer is written.

That’s where experience in multiple markets becomes a real advantage.

Below are the eight most common things relocation buyers tell me shocked them once they started buying on the Western Slope. None are deal-breakers—but every one of them matters.

What surprises Grand Junction relocation buyers most?

Relocation buyers are often surprised by non-mandatory seller disclosures, “as-is” contracts, limited permit requirements, unregulated septic systems, inspection practices that vary widely, misleading days-on-market data, and resale homes that appear poorly prepared for the market.

Why Seller Disclosures Surprise Grand Junction Relocation Buyers

One of the first things that catches relocation buyers off guard is how seller property disclosures work in Colorado.

In many states, disclosures are mandatory and provided upfront.
In Colorado, sellers are not required to complete a Seller’s Property Disclosure unless a buyer specifically requests one and negotiates it into their offer.

While sellers must disclose adverse material facts actually known, the disclosure form itself is not question-based like it is in more regulated states.

Instead of detailed prompts such as:

“Have you ever had water intrusion?”
“Has this system failed or required repair?”
“Are you aware of X, Y, or Z?”

Colorado real estate disclosures function more like a checklist—leaving sellers to decide whether checking a box is enough, or whether explanation is needed.

What feels most backward to many buyers is when disclosures are delivered. In many cases, buyers submit an offer first and only receive disclosures afterwards, sometimes learning about long-standing issues they would have wanted to know upfront.

The better agents in the Grand Valley understand this concern and encourage sellers to complete disclosures before listing and upload them to the MLS. That transparency prevents deals from unraveling later.

I’ve also seen disclosures returned completely blank, but signed.
Yes, that technically satisfies the requirement.
Practically? It creates immediate doubt.

Why Every Home Sale Is “As-Is” in Colorado

One of the biggest surprises for relocation buyers is learning that every home sale in Colorado is considered “as-is.”

This isn’t an optional clause, it’s boilerplate language in every state-approved contract:

“Seller is conveying the Property in an ‘As Is,’ ‘Where Is,’ and ‘With All Faults’ condition.”

Buyers can and absolutely should inspect the home.
But sellers are not obligated to make repairs simply because issues are discovered.

Negotiations can happen—but they are exactly that: negotiations, not guarantees.

For buyers coming from states where repairs are routinely expected, this feels jarring. “As-is” does not protect sellers who fail to disclose known material defects, but it does place more responsibility on buyers to inspect thoroughly and negotiate strategically.

My takeaway after decades in both systems?
Buyer beware—but buyer prepared wins.

Building Permits Aren’t Always Required Outside City Limits

Relocation buyers are often shocked to learn that homes built outside city limits may not have required building permits at all.

That doesn’t automatically mean poor construction—but it does mean buyers need to dig deeper:

Who built the home
When it was built
Whether inspections were ever performed

For buyers accustomed to uniform oversight, this lack of regulation can feel unsettling unless it’s explained upfront.

If you’d never consider buying a home without permit oversight, wouldn’t you want to know before touring properties outside city limits?

Exactly.

Septic Systems in Mesa County Are Largely Unregulated

This one surprises almost everyone—myself included.

In the Grand Valley, septic systems are not centrally regulated, tracked, or logged. There’s no statewide database, inspection history, or maintenance record system.

For relocation buyers coming from states with strict septic oversight, this can feel risky. It also makes proper inspections and trusted contractors absolutely critical.

Having spent decades working in a highly regulated septic environment, I help buyers separate:

Legitimate red flags
From “that’s just how it’s done here” explanations

The Real Cost of New Construction Lots

New Construction Buyer Representation

Relocation buyers shopping for new construction homes are often surprised to learn that the advertised lot price is not always the real cost to build.

Certain areas of Mesa County have swelling or shifting soil that may require:

Foundation piers or pilings
Additional engineering
Specialized foundations

Those requirements can easily add tens of thousands of dollars before framing begins.

Many builders require buyers to pay for soil testing after a lot is under contract. While contingencies help, they still cost time, money, and emotional energy.

Pro tip: Knowing which areas are prone to issues before shopping saves weeks of frustration and thousands of dollars.

Why Existing Homes Often Feel “Not Market Ready” to Out-of-State Buyers

Relocation buyers notice this immediately.

In many metro markets, professional resale staging is standard.
In the Grand Valley, it’s often misunderstood—or skipped entirely.

Rearranging furniture is not staging.

Homes that feel cluttered, unfinished, or unprepared turn buyers off quickly and often sit longer than they should. Selling a home and living in a home are two very different things.

I staged my first listing in 2004 and have worked alongside professional resale stagers ever since. That experience helps my buyers see opportunity where others only see someone else’s stuff.

👉 Are you selling before relocating? Read about my referral services.

Days on Market Doesn’t Mean What Most Buyers Think

Almost every relocation buyer looks at Days on Market (DOM). What surprises them is how it’s calculated in the Grand Valley.

DOM includes:

Time to receive an offer
Plus, time to close

A sold home showing 50 days on market may have gone under contract in 10–15 days and simply taken longer to close.

Without context, buyers may assume a home was initially rejected by the market. In reality, the story is often very different—and sometimes creates opportunity. Allow me to explain the real days on market for any property, active or sold. Zillow® doesn’t help.

Why Some Buyers Are Discouraged from Attending Inspections

This one tops the list for me.

Some buyers are discouraged—or even charged extra—to attend their own inspection.

That didn’t work for me, which is why I only recommend and work with inspectors that allow my relocation buyers and I to tag along for every inspection.

I’ve spent thousands of hours attending inspections with buyers over the past 25 years. That firsthand exposure has made me a better agent and my clients more knowledgeable homeowners.

Today, I walk through homes pointing out likely inspection issues before offers are written, allowing buyers to negotiate based on insight—not hope.

For relocation buyers who can’t attend inspections in person, I attend on their behalf.

👉 For additional insider insight read my post about some cons of living in Grand Junction.

Why the Agent You Work with Matters When You’re Relocating

Relocation buyers don’t need hype.
They need clarity—before decisions are made.

Experience in multiple markets allows an agent to anticipate confusion, ask better questions, and protect buyers from surprises they didn’t know to look for.

When Grand Junction relocation buyers understand why the process feels different, they can navigate it with confidence instead of frustration.

Final Thought for Grand Junction Relocation Buyers

None of these differences are reasons not to buy in Mesa County.
But being caught off guard by them is a reason deals fall apart.

My goal is simple:
I want my relocation buyers to be confident, informed, and prepared—before they ever fall in love with a home.

Common Grand Junction Relocation Buyer FAQ’s

Why do Grand Junction relocation buyers feel unprepared when buying a home?
Because buying practices in Grand Junction differ from large metro markets, including inspections, property infrastructure, land use, and local disclosures. My relocation buyers are often surprised when familiar assumptions no longer apply.
What is the most common mistake Grand Junction relocation buyers make?
Assuming the buying process works the same as their previous market. This can lead to overlooked inspections, misunderstood land characteristics, and unexpected costs after closing.
Should Grand Junction relocation buyers use a local lender because of these nuances?
Our local lenders understand Mesa County’s unique processes, rural lot financing, appraisal differences, and Colorado-specific requirements. They guide my relocation buyers through these nuances, ensuring a smoother, faster, and less stressful home purchase.
How can Grand Junction relocation buyers avoid costly surprises?
By working with a relocation-experienced local professional who understands both metro and Western Colorado real estate systems and can identify risks early in the process.

If you would like to speak with a local Grand Junction Mortgage Lender, I highly recommend you start that process here.

Cost of Living in Grand Junction CO

Cost of Living in Grand Junction, Colorado: What Newcomers Need to Know

What People Really Mean by “Cost of Living”

When I provide guided tours of Grand Junction, people usually ask me about the cost of living in Grand Junction, and ironically, they’re rarely asking for a spreadsheet. What they really want to know is whether life here will feel easier, tighter, or more comfortable than where they live now. Cost of living isn’t just about numbers — it’s about how housing, daily expenses, and lifestyle come together in real life.

Personal insight tip: As someone who works directly with people relocating to Grand Junction, this is usually the first question they ask — and almost never the last. Spreadsheets and websites cannot replace firsthand insight about the cost of living in Grand Junction. Sharing my lived experience will help far more than raw statistics alone.

Why Cost of Living Isn’t a Single Number

Cost of living is often presented as a single score or index, but that approach misses the bigger picture. Two households earning the same income can experience Grand Junction very differently depending on housing choices, commute patterns, and lifestyle priorities.

Personal insight tip: I’ve seen buyers with nearly identical budgets have completely different experiences here simply based on where they choose to live and how they spend their time.

Your personal expectations and lifestyle play a significant role in comparing different neighborhoods, cities, homes, and lifestyle. Truly understanding cost of living means looking at how expenses align with how you actually live — not how a calculator assumes you live.

Grand Junction Housing: The Biggest Cost — and the Biggest Variable

Housing is the largest factor influencing the cost of living in Grand Junction, and it’s also where experiences vary the most. Buyers relocating from larger metro areas are often surprised by how much home they can get relative to lifestyle, even if prices feel higher than expected at first glance.

Personal insight tip: Many people I work with initially focus on price alone, but neighborhood choice and home type usually end up having a bigger impact on how affordable Grand Junction feels long-term. There is a significant difference between a $400,000 home in the Redlands versus a $400,000 home in Clifton. One may require updating and repairs, while the other might be move-in ready. Same price point, different communities, different homes, very different cost of living.

Renters and buyers face different considerations, and expectations play a leading role. Housing costs here will be closely tied to your goals for where and how you live, not just market averages.

Everyday Living Costs: Where People Feel the Difference

Beyond housing, people notice differences in everyday living costs almost immediately. I personally tell everyone how incredibly light the traffic is here, compared to the larger city I came from. My wife and I joke all the time how close everything feels.

Shorter commutes mean lower fuel expenses and less time spent in traffic. Utilities are influenced by climate and home type, while daily conveniences like parking and access to recreation tend to feel simpler than in larger cities.

Personal insight tip: Most people I work with in relocating to Grand Junction are doing it for the lifestyle. They quickly realize the biggest savings isn’t a budget line item — it’s getting back more of their quality time. Less driving, less congestion, and easier access to everything adds up quickly.

For many residents, Grand Junction’s outdoor lifestyle replaces higher-cost entertainment found in larger metro areas. When my daughter was in college at Colorado Mesa University here in Grand Junction, she would come home each summer and work to save money for spending while away at college. She joked at the end of each year that she still had money leftover because everything she loved to do was outdoors and practically free!

Taxes and Colorado-Specific Considerations

Taxes are an important part of any cost-of-living conversation, but they don’t need to be overly complicated. Colorado’s income tax structure is often more straightforward than what people are used to, and property taxes in Mesa County are frequently a pleasant surprise.

Many people automatically think they need to relocate to no state income tax states like Florida to get the most out of every dollar they have. You need to look beyond state income taxes for a fair comparison.

Check out my article on comparing taxes.

Personal insight: Moving from Minnesota where our top state income tax rate was close to 10% makes most other places seem extremely attractive. The thing that I’m most impressed with living in Grand Junction is how low the property taxes are. The property taxes on the same valued home in Grand Junction are literally a third of what I was paying in Minnesota.

The Smart Way to Compare Your Cost of Living

The most accurate way to understand whether Grand Junction is affordable for you is to compare it directly to where you live now. City-wide averages can only go so far and often create misleading expectations. This is exactly why I recommend using a side‑by‑side comparison tool, or good old-fashioned piece of paper instead of relying on national averages. It gives you more clarity based on your situation — not assumptions.

This approach removes guesswork and helps people make confident decisions before they move.

Personal insight: One other area we save money that you won’t find in a cost-of-living calculator is heating and cooling. With the mild weather here, we experience what are referred to as shoulder seasons each spring and fall. These periods of up to two months don’t require any heat or cooling, just open the window and the temperature in your home is perfect, day and night. It’s amazing!

Find out more about our average weather throughout the year.

Is Grand Junction Affordable?

For most people relocating from larger metro areas, the answer is yes — especially when affordability is viewed through the lens of lifestyle and long-term value. Grand Junction continues to offer a balance of housing options, outdoor access, and manageable daily expenses.

Although home prices have increased dramatically over the past few years (along with the rest of the country) you can still find a good home at a fair price. In Grand Junction, affordability has quite a few variables including one you may not see as often in your current city. Homes with certain views or vantage points will fetch top dollar over a home without them. As always, real estate is about location, location, location!

Personal insight: Compared to many Colorado Front Range and West Coast markets, buyers often tell me Grand Junction feels more balanced — not necessarily cheap, but more livable. Meaning you are also paying for a lifestyle that is unlike anywhere else.

Affordability is always relative, but expectations here are often exceeded.

Cost of Living Is Only Part of the Decision

Cost of living is a key factor, but it’s only one piece of the relocation puzzle. Neighborhood selection, housing strategy, and lifestyle priorities all influence how affordable a place truly feels.

Personal insight: In my experience, the people happiest with their move to Grand Junction are the ones who look beyond the numbers and focus on how they actually want to live. It’s hard to put an exact dollar amount on a superb quality of life.

You’re right to be careful with your research — and now hopefully understand you’ve got a friend in Grand Junction you can rely on to give you straightforward advice and insight. My only goal with your relocation is to help you understand why you’ll love living in Grand Junction as much as I do.

When cost of living is viewed in context, it becomes much easier to decide whether Grand Junction is the right fit — financially and otherwise.

Best Grand Junction Real Estate Agent Referral: Homes for Sale & Local Expertise

One Critical Misstep Sellers Make When Searching Homes for sale in Grand Junction

If you’re searching for “Homes for Sale in Grand Junction” but also need to sell your current home, there’s one critical step many homeowners overlook—one that can make or break your move, whether you’re relocating locally, across the state, or from out of the country. I’m your go-to Grand Junction real estate agent referral connection, here to guide you every step of the way. Ask me about my Best Real Estate Agent Referral Service—designed for those who want real results, not hype!

Relocating to a new city is exciting, but it can also be stressful. You’re juggling timelines, packing, travel arrangements, and, most importantly, the sale of your current home. Many people focus all their energy on finding the perfect new home while underestimating how crucial it is to properly list and sell their existing property. The truth is, how you handle your current home sale can directly affect your entire relocation experience.

There are plenty of websites where you can find homes for sale in Grand Junction, including my Realty One Group Western Slope MLS listing search portal. This portal allows you to see every home currently on the market in Grand Junction, Fruita, and Palisade. But while browsing homes online is easy, the real question is: do you know where to start when it comes to listing your own home?

Whether you currently live in Grand Junction or reside out of state, having the right local expertise is essential. Listing your home with a local real estate expert can make a dramatic difference in your sale price, time on the market, and overall moving experience. Too many relocating home sellers make the mistake of hiring the first agent they come across or relying on agents who focus only on sales volume and not on strategic selling. That approach can cost you time, money, and peace of mind. Let me be your Grand Junction Real Estate agent and referral agent.

MLS SEARCH

A Story That Inspired My Best Real Estate Agent Referral Service

I was recently out looking at homes for sale in Grand Junction with an out-of-state relocation client. We walked into an $800,000 listing, and within minutes, the client asked me why I had sighed upon stepping into the home. I told them I would explain once we were back in the car.

Eagerly awaiting an answer, my client asked immediately after we started driving. Over the remainder of our home tour, I explained why I would never list a home on the MLS that was in the condition we had just experienced. I detailed the difference between a traditional agent and a Homes Sold for MORE™ listing agent—how my standards, marketing, and preparation exceed what traditional agents provide.

By the end of our conversation, my clients looked me in the eye and said, “We wish you could list our home.” And that is how my Best Real Estate Agent Referral Service was born! From a desire to provide over the top customer service and the necessity to ensure that my buyer clients’ home sales were never left to chance. It’s all about you and your move!

Why Listing Properly Matters for Relocation

When listing a home while relocating, every decision has a ripple effect. Your timing, your sale price, and your buyer’s confidence all play a role in whether your move goes smoothly. If your current home isn’t listed properly, you may face delayed closings, moving company scheduling issues, low offers, or costly negotiations that could throw off your relocation plans. Properly listing your home with a local real estate expert ensures your home sale is handled strategically, avoiding surprises that can derail even the most carefully planned relocation. Everything starts with properly listing your home.

Best Real Estate Listing Agent Referral Service

For my buyer clients who also need to sell, I personally vet and interview local real estate listing agents in your area to find the perfect match. Using my 25+ years of real estate experience, I evaluate each agent’s online presence, past sales, active listings, photography standards, and staging knowledge. I even review social media profiles, online reviews, and LinkedIn pages to understand who communicates professionally and who prioritizes results over sales volume.

Unlike traditional agents who may only recommend a top producing listing agent referral, I don’t consider sales volume to be the number one attribute of a quality agent. The goal is simple: connect you with a local real estate expert who meets my high standards and closely follows my trademarked Homes Sold for MORE™ protocols.

The Homes Sold for MORE™ Standard

Every agent I refer understands the need for a higher standard of service than a traditional listing agent. This includes:

Conducting pre-inspections and addressing issues before listing
Professional staging and photography to maximize appeal
Positioning you to avoid buyer reconsideration hurdles
Radon testing and other environmental considerations
Strategic pricing based on local market data, not guesswork
Full MLS and online marketing with a focus on attracting educated buyers

In short, your home is prepared and presented in the best possible light, so it sells faster and for more money, something especially critical when your relocation timeline is tight.

The Pitfalls of Traditional Listing Methods

Too often, traditional agents follow what I call the “3 P’s” approach: Put a sign in the yard, Post it on MLS, and Pray it sells. While this may work occasionally, it’s risky for relocating sellers. Offers may be low, negotiations may drag, and your move could be delayed. You’ve done everything you can think of to prepare for this move, but how prepared is the agent you hired to list your home? There is just too much at stake to go blindly into a relationship.

For sellers relocating to Grand Junction, the stakes are even higher. The wrong agent could cost you thousands of dollars and weeks of time—delaying your ability to settle into your new home or coordinate travel, school enrollment, or work commitments. That’s why selecting the right agent from the start is crucial.

How My Best Real Estate Agent Referral Service Works

Here’s how I ensure every client receives the best possible guidance:

Initial Consultation: We will discuss your relocation timeline, goals, and unique situation. I will educate you on what you deserve from the best real estate agent referral.
Agent Vetting: I research and interview multiple local agents, assessing experience, sales strategies, and professionalism. Analyzing everything from the critical eye of “Who would I choose, knowing what I know”?

Ongoing Support: I remain available throughout the process to answer questions, troubleshoot issues, and ensure your sale stays on track. Without interfering with your exclusive relationship with your local listing agent.

The Financial Impact of Proper Listing

Properly listing your home isn’t just about speed to market, it’s about maximizing your return. Homes listed with attention to staging, marketing, and strategic pricing consistently sell faster and for higher prices. When moving to another state, this can mean more equity to invest in your new home, reduce stress from dual mortgages, and a smoother transition overall.

Choosing the Best Grand Junction Real Estate Agents

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned home seller, choosing the best Grand Junction real estate agents is crucial for a successful real estate experience. Buying or selling a home is not something most people do very often in their lifetime, so you shouldn’t be expected to know how to choose the best Grand Junction real estate agent without some guidance.

Here are nine important factors for choosing the best Grand Junction real estate agent and how to make the most out of your Grand Junction home search or home sale.

1. Experience Matters

One of the most important qualities of the best Grand Junction real estate agents is their profound knowledge of the current real estate market. Only consider an agent that works full-time, that is on top of this ever-changing market. What worked to buy or sell a home a year ago may not work today. The best Grand Junction real estate agents will have years of experience and hundreds of transactions under their belt. Understanding how to make your offer stand out in a competitive market, or creatively market your home to get top dollar are skills gained through experience. They are skills that are honed over hundreds of transactions. Use my years of experience assisting hundreds of home buyers and sellers to your advantage! I’ve been licensed since 2001!

“What an amazing experience! This is the second house we’ve bought/sold through Paul and the level of expertise, market knowledge, guidance and professionalism is unmatched!” -Emrah Oruc

2. Your Best Interests at Heart

The best Grand Junction real estate agents understand that having your best interest at heart is the most important thing when hiring an agent. But how do you know who that will be? Is it the agent with the funniest videos? How about the agent with the most online reviews? The most years of experience? Or how about the #1 home seller in the valley based on production? All these things can give you a preview into an agent’s true self when it comes down to putting your interest before theirs, but actions speak volumes. Watch this video below about what I did for a client, without hesitation. Will the agent you hire do the same?

“Paul and the team exceeded all of our expectations during our home sale! After a difficult selling experience with a previous home, we were nervous to sell again. However, Paul was incredibly helpful through every step of the process. His communication with us was excellent, and we always knew he was looking out for our best interests. I would highly recommend Paul Aspelin for any real estate transaction!” -Haley Bennett Horal

3. Professionalism and Communication

Effective communication is the cornerstone of a successful real estate transaction and real estate relationship. The best agent will keep you informed at every step of the process, ensuring that you are never left in the dark. Look for an agent who responds promptly to your inquiries, provides clear and concise information, has creative ideas, and has excellent negotiation skills. The professionalism you experience from choosing the best Grand Junction agent is not only important to your relationship, but your agent’s reputation amongst other Grand Junction agents can also greatly impact the outcome of your home sale or purchase. With my experience and knowledge of the industry I consistently excel at keeping my clients informed and other agents prefer to work with those who understand the process and know how to communicate. I wouldn’t have succeeded for over two decades without superior communication skills.

4. Client Testimonials or Reviews?

Part of understanding an agent’s reputation is hearing about the experience of working with them directly from past clients. Reviews are a powerful thing, and many agents go to great lengths to get hundreds of online reviews. I’ve always preferred testimonials from my past clients. For the last two decades I have mailed every single client a survey about their experience working with me and asked for a testimonial. I’ve received hundreds of letters back in the mail. This is much different than sending an email asking a client to complete an online review as part of their to-do list at work that day. Reviews feel coerced, testimonials are given.

“Paul Aspelin has helped me with several real estate transactions. He is ethical, knowledgeable and intelligent. He is an outstanding negotiator and always works very hard for his clients. I could not be more satisfied with the service he has provided me.”
-Scott Gordon

Read more testimonials on my About Paul Aspelin page or my Paul Aspelin Reviews and Recommendations post where I show some of the hand written notes and survey results from my happy past clients,

Tip #1 (Insider Tip) If you are interviewing agents, ask them what their referral rate over their career has been. Mine is 90% +. The answer you get from agents should tell you everything you need to know before you hire them.

5. Innovative Marketing Strategies

Check out my custom license plate!

Effective marketing is especially crucial in a competitive market like Grand Junction, where highlighting your property effectively can make all the difference. If you’re interviewing agents, there is one question that will separate the best agents from the rest of the pack. “Give me an example of a creative marketing strategy you’ve used to sell a home in the past.” Go ahead…. I’ll wait. You will never see a real estate agent dance around answering a question more than this one. I welcome this question to show you numerous creative ideas I have employed for my clients to create successful outcomes others failed to achieve. Ask me about my scenic overlook sign campaign or my immersive property map.

Tip#2 (Pro Tip) Ask your agent for samples of the brochures they have available at the property for buyers. If a generic black and white MLS sheet is their idea of professional marketing, keep looking. Find out more about the importance of brochures

6. Understanding Your Needs

Every client has unique preferences, requirements, and goals. The best Grand Junction real estate agents take the time to understand your needs—whether you’re buying, focusing on the size or style of a home, specific amenities, or the ideal location, or selling, concentrating on pricing strategy, staging, and marketing to attract the right buyers. The best agents listen first, then tailor their approach to match your individual goals, ensuring that the homes they show align with your vision or that your property is positioned to sell for the most possible value.

7. Negotiation Skills

Real estate transactions often involve negotiations, and having a skilled negotiator on your side can make a significant impact. Top Grand Junction real estate agents possess strong negotiation skills, advocating for your interests and securing the best possible deal. Whether you’re buying or selling, an agent who can navigate negotiations effectively is an invaluable asset. Who has better negotiating skills? An agent with hundreds of successful transactions over two plus decades or a part-time agent doing a handful of deals each year.

TIP #3 (Insider Tip) Make sure the agent you work with takes the time to go over all the paperwork you sign. You deserve MORE! Learn how agent convenience is killing customer service.

8. Accessibility and Availability

I have new construction experience and can walk you through the entire process of building a new home!

The real estate market doesn’t operate on a strict 9-to-5 schedule. Look for a Mesa County real estate agent who is accessible and available, understanding that your property search might require flexibility in terms of viewing schedules and communication. An agent who is committed to being available when you need them demonstrates a genuine dedication to your real estate goals.

Being one of the Best Grand Junction real estate agents is the most inconvenient job on the planet. I am on call every day of the year at all hours of the day and night. But do you know what? It’s how I make my clients successful. I am always there when it matters most.

Tip #4 (Insider tip) The best Grand Junction Real Estate agents understand the importance of communication. Working the housing market during the Great Recession taught me to communicate even when I don’t have any updated news. I will never leave you wondering where things are at.

9. Educational Guidance

It doesn’t matter if this is your first time buying or selling a home. I am here to educate you on today’s real estate market. If you’ve got previous experience with buying or selling that will help you to understand the nuances of the process. However, nothing can replace the guidance and education you receive from hiring the best Grand Junction real estate agent in the Grand Valley. You’ve got a handful of choices, and I’d like to show you why I should be one of your top agent picks to interview. Your move is too important to leave in the hands of just anybody.

Tip #5 (Pro Tip) Ask your agent: “How will you educate me on pricing, marketing, and positioning my home to sell for the most in today’s Grand Junction market?” The best listing agents will walk you through comparable sales, staging strategies, and negotiation tactics — and with my Homes Sold for More™ approach, I’ll show you exactly how to position your home to attract the right buyers, reduce market time, and put more money in your pocket.

Tip #6 (Pro tip) Ask your agent: “How will you position my offer to ultimately succeed in today’s Grand Junction market?” The best buyer’s agents don’t just submit an offer — they guide you through every step leading up to it, showing intent with every action: from property tours, pre-offer communications with the listing agent, and timing your offer strategically.

Read the best Grand Junction locations to consider and my post about Grand Junction Housing Market Update Reports. I can customize a report for your search criteria that shows how many showings listings in your price range are getting in today’s market.

Let’s Get Started

Your home purchase or sale is too important to leave to chance—or to agents relying on sponsored ads just to get in front of you. As you begin your search for the best Grand Junction real estate agents, follow these nine tips, and you can be confident your next choice will be the right one. With the right agent by your side, you’ll enjoy a smooth, stress-free, and rewarding experience in Grand Junction, Fruita, Palisade, or anywhere in Mesa County. There are some great agents in the Grand Valley, but I want to make sure you know at least one who consistently helps clients buy and sell for more with less stress.

Grand Junction Real Estate, Relocating to Grand Junction

Ultimate Guide: Grand Junction Listing Agent | Your Home Sold for MORE™

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing a Grand Junction Listing Agent Who Can Get Your Home SOLD for MORE™

Selling your home in Grand Junction is more than putting a sign in your yard—it’s about strategy, preparation, and choosing the right listing agent who can help you maximize your sale and your experience. Whether you’re a first-time seller or relocating, finding the right Grand Junction listing agent is the single most important step toward selling your home faster, for more money, and with less stress.

Too many people are ultimately choosing their listing agent based on the wrong criteria. The industry itself rewards listing agents for their sales figures, not the client experience, so why would you think any different? In this ultimate guide, I will walk you through everything you need to know to avoid the traditional agent trap, and pick a listing agent who delivers results, avoids costly mistakes, and guides you smoothly through the entire selling process.

“I was very impressed with Paul at our first meeting in my home because of the time he spent with me explaining his marketing strategies and his professionalism. He demonstrated the fact that he values the confidence his clients place in his ability to sell their property. He is a real estate agent of high integrity and compassion, a role model for other real estate agents. I felt completely at ease giving Paul the listing of my home. I told him he should consider instructing a class for other real estate agents.” -Pat Campbell

Why Choosing the Right Grand Junction Listing Agent Matters

The Grand Junction real estate market has unique challenges and opportunities. Who you choose to work with matters, so please take this decision seriously.

A skilled local listing agent understands:

Current Market Trends
Pricing Strategy
Marketing Expertise

Tip 1 (Insider Tip): Interview multiple agents before deciding. Look beyond hype — ask about expired/canceled listings to gauge their real performance.

1. Current Market Trends

Knowing how long homes stay on the market and what buyers are paying is important. But statistics don’t sell homes. Collaborating with a Grand Junction listing agent who understands how to create demand and position your home as the “must-see” property only happens when you hire the right agent. My strategy turned decades of experience into a process that gives you the upper hand in negotiations, avoids traditional listing agent “Just Listed” pitfalls, and takes full advantage of the critical “first impression” period. These are just a few of the key factors for getting your home Sold for MORE™!

Tip 2 (Pro Tip): Watch how long homes stay on the market and how pricing changes over time. Avoid agents who rely on monthly price reductions.

Click here to view a sample PDF of the report and see the value for yourself. I wrote a post about it, including the number of showings current listings are getting. Read my Grand Junction Housing Market Report post.

2. Pricing Strategy

Accurately pricing your home is important, and every traditional agent will tout this as their number one tool to get a “Just Sold” sign in your yard. I am not interested in “Only Sold”—I want your home Sold for MORE™. My trademarked Homes Sold for MORE™ process is about collaborating with sellers to set the right price from the start, attracting educated buyers without relying on constant price reductions. Beware of traditional agents who use language like “It’s your home, we can price it at whatever you want.” When interviewing listing agents, it’s important not to approach a pricing conversation like a scene from old western movie where there is a standoff at high noon. You will have your opinion, and the agent will hopefully have theirs. If you cannot comfortably collaborate on pricing, find an agent that will.

I recently saw an expired listing from a top Grand Junction listing agent that came off the market after 6 months, and seven price reductions adding up to almost a 25% discount from the original listing price. So, what happened? As a top listing agent who survived the housing market of the Great Recession, I have never been 25% off in my pricing recommendations. This was a case of either a seller dictating a listing price based on emotion and/or a listing agent “buying their listing.” Buying a listing happens when an agent provides an overly inflated home value to secure your business thinking you will eventually come down to a price that will sell. I assure you this traditional agent thinking is NOT how you get MORE from your home sale.

Tip 3 (Insider Tip): Avoid agents who try to “buy the listing” with an unrealistic price — it’s a recipe for long days on market and unnecessary reductions.

Tip 4 (Pro Tip): Always discuss pricing strategies in detail. Make sure you and your agent collaborate to set the right price with local comps and buyer insights.

Don’t fall for the Zestimate® trap when you can rely on a Bestimate™ for an accurate home value.

3. Marketing Expertise

Professional photography, MLS listings, and targeted social media campaigns draw attention—but does your home emotionally connect with buyers? I know how to reach educated buyers who are ready to act. My process not only exposes your home to stand out, but it also positions you to win while avoiding costly failed sales while giving you the upper hand in negotiations.

With a large amount of relocation buyers coming to Grand Junction, your listing will also be featured on this website. The #1 relocation website in the Grand Junction area, ensuring your home stands out to buyers all over the country.

Tip 5 (Insider Tip): Look for agents who have a strong LOCAL relocation website — your home should be visible to buyers moving from other states, not just local traffic. Check out my Grand Junction Relocation Guide to see how relocation-focused marketing can give your home maximum exposure.

Tip 6 (Pro Tip): Ask your agent how they measure marketing success. Avoid generic metrics like “list-to-sold price” without context.

Want to discuss and see examples of proven marketing campaigns and how my strategic approach gets homes SOLD for MORE™? Contact Me to learn more.

Marketing Statistics

Don’t be misled by “List-to-Sold Price” metrics. Traditional agents often boast about selling “at or above asking price.” Many times, this statistic ignores the multiple price reductions that took place before that final sale.

A monthly price reduction strategy is not a marketing strategy. Homes Sold for MORE™ focuses on front-loaded preparation, a targeted launch strategy, and attracting educated buyers to protect—and maximize—your equity. We understand how to properly interpret statistics to provide you with rock solid advice, every time!

Qualities of a Top Grand Junction Listing Agent

Not all listing agents are created equal. Here’s what to look for:

Upfront Guidance: I understand how to guide you to avoid typical hurdles and prepare your home correctly before exposing your listing on the MLS. Traditional agents are trained to rush to get you on the market. It’s always better for your bottom line to go on the market when you are ready versus quickly. I always encourage people to reach out to me months or even a year in advance.
Positioning for Success: I provide you with an upper hand in negotiations, maximizing your net sale proceeds. My strategies go beyond the final sales price by proactively putting more money into your pocket from avoiding common pitfalls upfront whereas traditional agents deal with hurdles as they happen.
Local Market Knowledge: “I know the area” is a common marketing phrase you hear from many traditional agents. Neighborhood familiarity is nice, and understanding three different routes to the nearest Walmart is quite impressive, if you’re acting as a buyer’s agent. But strategic marketing and educated buyer positioning matter more when it comes to listing a home.
Proven Track Record: A track record that actually means something. Most agents flaunt high sales volume and five-star reviews. But here’s the truth: Many high-volume agents have shockingly high expired or cancelled listing rates. Online reviews are often only given as a reciprocal courtesy at closing. If an agent has closed 1,000 homes yet has only two hundred reviews… that’s only a 20% satisfaction rate. Look beyond the hype so commonly marketed as the best metric to find a quality agent. Personal accolades, handwritten cards, and referrals reflect true success, but aren’t always readily visible online. Ask the agent you’re interviewing about their rate of referral from past clients. I’ve consistently been at 90%+. This stat should tell you everything about an agent’s process and mindset for delivering the value and experience you deserve. Read my reviews and recommendations.
Innovative Marketing Skills: MLS alone isn’t enough. Holding open houses every weekend can be more valuable to an agent’s business than your home they have listed. Homes Sold for MORE™ saves you wasted open house weekends while targeting educated buyers. I hold open houses ONLY when they are warranted. I utilize a system for attracting open house prospects while protecting your valuable time.
Negotiation Expertise: I analyze offers differently, starting with a focus on buyer intent. Are they really interested in buying your home or will they continue to keep shopping? All my insight and advice are aligned to protect your bottom line. My goal is not to get you any offer, I want the right offer that will stick, and close on time! Negotiation tactics can be taught but nothing replacing experience with the real deal.
Client-Focused Approach: Communication is key. Our process prioritizes your goals, not ours. Traditional agents are trained to utilize every listing as an opportunity to generate more business. Operating on a high rate of referrals allows me to focus 100% of my efforts and attention on selling your home, not selling you on marketing efforts like weekly open houses or marketing campaigns designed to attract new business while your home is listed for sale.
Years of experience and hundreds of homes sold: With my 25+ years of experience, I have dealt with almost every situation, in every type of market you can imagine. Managing other agents for 18 years when I was the broker/owner of my previous brokerage exposed me to managing any hurdle that is tossed our way. Aligning with Realty ONE Group Western Slope also provides additional resources and support to tackle the craziest of situations to benefit your outcome.

“Your dedication and determination to meet my needs was impressive! I never felt like I was just another client”- Rona Mandel

Tip 7 (Insider Tip): Ask agents for examples of creative marketing campaigns they’ve executed. Real-world examples matter more than awards.

What is Homes Sold for MORE™?

Homes Sold for MORE™ is a trademarked approach designed to help sellers maximize their home’s value while minimizing stress and time on market. Unlike traditional listing agent strategies, our system focuses on:

Expert professional resale staging and home preparation
Targeted marketing for educated buyers
Collaborative pricing
Mitigation of buyer reconsideration pitfalls
Positioning you to have the upper hand in negotiations
A step-by-step process that avoids failed offers and unwarranted price reductions

We don’t just list your home — we position it to sell for more money, faster, and with less stress. Learn how we are different at https://homessoldformore.com.

Tip 8 (Insider Tip): Ask your agent how they prevent buyer remorse and renegotiation delays — many listings fail after initial offers due to poor positioning.

How a Great Listing Agent Helps You Sell for More

A great Grand Junction listing agent does more than list your home—they strategically position it to sell for the highest possible price: Our strategy isn’t another empty claim, it’s a promise we consistently deliver. See the difference in our strategy versus the tactics traditional agents use by visiting our “Just Listed Pitfalls” page.

Staged by Rooms with Style

Professional Staging & Photography: First impressions matter. We bring 20+ years of certified professional resale staging experience to every listing regardless of price. I do not subscribe to the mindset of traditional agents who base their marketing efforts on your price point and whether your home is worthy of their best efforts. Every home gets my best! Professional photographers that help tell a story, not just take pictures, are critical to your success. I see terrible, professional pictures all the time. Quality is just as important as clarity.
Targeted Marketing: Educated buyers, not just motivated buyers, are reached to reduce failed sales and get you MORE. Educated buyers understand a great home and opportunity when they see one. They are the ones who present offers on day one because they are waiting for a home like yours to hit the market.
Pricing & Negotiation: Our collaborative pricing protects your equity and saves time.
Stress-Free Process: We manage paperwork, preparation guidance, pre-inspections, closing, and many details traditional agents overlook.

My Homes Sold for MORE™ process consistently delivers MORE value with fewer days on market, creating a smoother, more profitable experience for sellers. Your home isn’t “Just Listed” then “Only Sold;” it’s Sold for MORE™!

Tip 9 (Pro Tip): Ensure your agent will personally oversee every stage — don’t settle for someone delegating your listing entirely to assistants.

“We really enjoy working with Paul to sell our home. His marketing strategy enabled us to reach more Realtors® and interested buyers in the area than the typical open house and newspaper ad strategy that is used by other agents.” – Richard and Amber Jackson

Common Mistakes Sellers Make Without the Right Listing Agent

Avoid these costly errors by hiring a top listing agent from the start:

Allowing a traditional agent to “buy your listing” with empty promises and an inflated listing price just to secure your business.
Poor or limited marketing—relying only on open houses
Choosing an agent based sales volume or name recognition rather than consistent results
Failing to interview multiple agents before deciding

These mistakes can lengthen your time on the market and reduce your final sale price. A skilled Grand Junction listing agent prevents these pitfalls.

Tip 10 (Insider Tip): Avoid rushing to list your home. Timing, preparation, and strategy drive higher net proceeds.

Understand the “Just Listed” pitfalls you should avoid to put more money in your pocket!

How to Choose the Right Grand Junction Listing Agent

Every seller I’ve ever met dreads the thought of interviewing agents for selling their home. A two-hour dog and pony show of generic statistics, their company history, their sales awards, etc. which are all designed to display an impression of their worth. Worse yet, you call in a heavy hitter agent who walks in unprepared and is overly confident expecting their name to be enough to earn your business. No thank you, you deserve MORE! When you call me out to discuss your situation, be prepared to receive value and strategy. I often get seller comments like “Wow, I wasn’t expecting our meeting to go like this” or “I cannot believe we almost considered the agent we met with last night.” With me you get no fluff, no pressure, and only a proven system of results that add value to your bottom line. To speed up your interviews I highly recommend you ask agents two critical questions:

“What percentage of your listings have expired or canceled on you?” This question is framed all around RESULTS! Many top producers have expired or cancelled rates of 20%-30% and believe those are “acceptable” rates of failure and just a normal part of doing business. They might be when you operate your business as a numbers game. In my 25-year career I have only had about ten homes that didn’t sell. Half happened during the housing recession, a couple of the clients I fired, and a couple more had life events change their circumstances and desire for selling. That’s it! I don’t just list homes, I sell them. If you commit to me, I will commit to you.
“Give me an example of a creative marketing strategy you’ve used to sell a home.” You won’t see an agent squirm in their seat more than after this question. I’ve been blessed with a creative gene and a love for creative marketing. If we need an out-of-the-box strategy to attract more buyers, I’ve always been up to the challenge. Ask me about my scenic overlook campaign or my property map ideas. Absolute home run for my sellers!

Tip 11 (Pro Tip): The right agent answers confidently with real examples — this separates marketing fluff from actionable expertise.

Tip 12 (Insider Secret): Read this post on HomesSoldForMore.com to find out if that top Grand Junction agent you’re considering is actually a discount broker in disguise.

Homes Sold for More™

Selling a Home in Grand Junction with the Homes Sold for More™ Team!

If you’ve been reading my Move to Grand Junction blog posts, you know that they are mostly about moving here and living in Grand Junction. But did you know I also list homes for sale in Grand Junction? In fact, I have a dedicated website for Grand Junction Home Sellers called Homes Sold for More™. HomesSoldforMore.com.

What is Homes Sold for More™?

Homes Sold for More™ is a listing process I created over the last 25 years that positions the sellers I work with to get MORE! More communication, more convenience, more pre-planning, more home staging, more services, and more expertise.

Traditional “Just Listed” tactics are outdated and ineffective. In fact, after moving to Grand Junction, I quickly realized that the listing preparation and marketing tactics used by even the top agents in the Grand Valley are 15+ years behind what agents are doing in the major metropolitan areas. I show my clients how their home can stand out from the competition!

For a comprehensive list of “Just Listed” pitfalls to avoid visit HomesSoldForMore.com. Find out more about my process and how the Sold for More™ team stands by the fact that “We Do Real Estate Right!” Some of the pitfalls to avoid are quite entertaining! Learn about showing feedback, radon testing, price reductions, photography, what color to paint your home, secure lockboxes vs combo lockboxes, professional brochures, and no open houses!

In this real estate market, a vast majority of people will be selling a home before buying their next one. Unfortunately, contingent offers are not the answer to avoiding a double move (see my article on contingent offers). Whether you are selling a home in Grand Junction or relocating here with a home to sell out of state, here are five quick tips for seller success.

Five Tips for Seller Success

Hire an experienced agent that understands how to help guide you in preparing a home to be listed. This includes professional staging, color consultation, decluttering, and pre-packing. Best to follow the phrase “The way you live in a home is different than the way you sell a home.”
It’s better to go on the market when you’re ready than just fast. If your agent is pushing to get your home listed ASAP, they view your home as another “Just Listed” commodity and don’t fully understand how to take advantage of the first impression period.
Photographs need to speak to buyers! Even though the latest smartphone has great clarity, the quality of a photo comes from the talent of the photographer. Great pictures speak a thousand words, don’t settle for less than the best. Always hire a professional.
Don’t allow your agent to ignore virtual staging if you plan to sell your home vacant. The average person has a challenging time visualizing the layout of furniture in rooms. Virtual staging is your friend when selling a vacant home.
Collaborate with your agent on pricing! Work together to come up with the best price based on the facts of what is selling in your area, not emotion or what you think it could sell for.

Trust me, I won’t be like this guy pressuring you to sign the contract the first time we meet.

Finding an Agent to Sell Your Home

If you’re interested in having me interview and recommend agents to sell your home in another location, just ask! I’d be happy to do the legwork for you to find the best agent for listing success! I understand what it takes to effectively prepare, list, and market homes.

55+ Communities in Grand Junction

House Hunting When You Are 55+

I was doing an Open House in a new construction single family home geared towards older adults. The neighborhood had a Homeowners Association (HOA) to take care of all the exterior maintenance like yard services. No community center or other facilities. The model I was in was a spacious one-level home with three bedrooms on the main level and a two-car garage.

I had a 62-year-old gentleman strike up a memorable conversation with me. He explained that he has a boat, a motorcycle, two cars, and he and his wife like to ride bikes. He wondered how he’d be able to all his toys in this narrow two-stall garage. He asked, “Why don’t these builders understand that just because we want a home with no exterior maintenance, that doesn’t mean we sit home all day. We need room for our “stuff” as well as a simpler lifestyle as we get older.”

I fully understood where he was coming from. There are national builders, like D.R. Horton that build 55+ communities where you own your own single-family home and they include amenities like a club house, pickleball courts, workout room, and community eating and entertaining spaces. Over my career I have helped several clients build homes in communities like these. Be warned though. These robust communities also come with high monthly fees. You may, or may not, want all of that. I haven’t found housing available in 55+ Communities in Grand Junction that are like this. Where you own a single-family home. Until now…

What if you just want a single-family home with low maintenance?

What if you envision your retirement years enjoying the active lifestyle that attracts so many to this region of Colorado?

Read my post about being your personal Grand Junction Relocation Guide!

Chipeta Hallows

Good news! BOA Builders is building a 55+ Community in Grand Junction! Technically it’s in Orchard Mesa just east of the Chipeta Golf Course. This new development broke ground in June 2025. It is an Epcon Community. You can learn more about this option by visiting the Epcon website.

Epcon describes it this way…

“Discover Chipeta Hollows, an exclusive neighborhood designed for those who seek a vibrant, active, and low-maintenance lifestyle. Built by BOA Builders, known for their commitment to quality craftsmanship, energy efficiency, and sustainable living, Chipeta Hollows redefines a lifestyle of living in Grand Junction, CO. Chipeta Hallows community offers resort-style amenities to enhance your daily life. Enjoy the beautifully designed clubhouse, perfect for social gatherings, fitness activities, and relaxation. Stay active with a pickleball court, a sparkling pool, and scenic walking trails, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Western Colorado. For pet lovers, the dog park and dog wash station ensure that your furry companions feel just as at home as you do.”

Buyer Representation

If Chipeta Hallows (or any new development) sounds like a place you’d like to live, contact me before you call or go visit so I can explain to you your right to buyer representation before you contact the builder or developer. This is very important. If you contact them first, you may forfeit your right to be represented. The real estate agent or “sales rep” in open houses and builder models represent the seller or the builder, not the buyer. When I represent buyers, I always put their interests first. Agents representing the seller are obligated to put the seller’s interest first, not the buyers. Call/text me at 612-306-9558 if you have any questions about representation in Colorado. Real Estate Representation laws and rules vary by state.

Homeowner Association (HOA) Fees

Let’s talk about low maintenance and HOA fees. In Minnesota, HOA fees were much higher than here in Grand Junction because they had to include snow removal and lawn maintenance services. In northern and eastern states there can be lots of grass to mow and shrubs to trim on a regular basis. Many snowfalls over 2” that require shoveling or plowing (again and again) and you have to treat the roads and sidewalks with salt or sand to get rid of the ice.

Luckily, here in sunny Grand Junction, there aren’t many plowable snow events, maybe a slight accumulation of snow 2-3 times a winter which is usually melted by the end of the day. And being in the desert, the landscaping is already drought tolerant and full of low maintenance plants like cactus and beautiful rose bushes that start blooming in late April or early May. Less maintenance means less fees. Plus, our property taxes are very low here. So don’t be too scared when you see monthly HOA fees, they aren’t that bad here.

Single-Family Homes

The Grand Valley is “the home of 3/2 housing” meaning three bedrooms and two-bathroom ramblers or ranch style homes are commonly called one-level living in other parts of the country. Hardly any homes have basements, and if they do, they aren’t musty because we have very low humidity and low rainfall in the Grand Valley.

Most properties have a two-car garage, sometimes a three-car. Many neighborhoods allow homeowners to add sheds and additional garages to their property. More rural properties have larger lot sizes and less restrictions and they are just 5-10 minutes from downtown.

Low maintenance single family homes are easy to find too. Metal roofs are very popular and last much longer than asphalt roofing materials. Plus, without a lot of snow, our roofs don’t experience a lot of freeze/thaw, so they last longer.

Because our water comes from the snowmelt and springs on the Grand Mesa, we don’t need extra equipment like water softeners and water treatment systems. Our water is delicious right out of the tap. It’s award winning actually. Read my post about the Grand Junction Water Supply to learn more.

And then there’s housing product like this…

55+ Communities in Grand Junction

You can easily Google “55+ Communities in Grand Junction CO” to get a list. There are zero in Palisade and one in Fruita called Village at Country Creek. Grand Junction lists about a dozen. Some offer both independent living and assisted living options for those that need care. Even though they say 55+, it feels like most of these communities are suited for those who are later in their retirement years or for anyone needing assistance.

Moving to Grand Junction

So, what does all this mean? It means that Grand Junction has lots of options for 55+ housing that isn’t strictly classified for people in or nearing retirement. I haven’t even touched on the golf course communities. You can learn more about those by reading my post called More Than Redlands Mesa Golf Courses.

I have helped dozens of clients 55 and older find their next place to call home. What I’m saying is, the best place to live might not be in the state you live in now. Speaking of best place to live, Grand Junction won an award for that too being named the “Best Place to Retire” from Kiplinger Magazine. I reference it in my post called Why Choose to Retire in Grand Junction.

If you are looking for low maintenance living in a warmer climate without a lot of fuss, consider retiring or semi-retiring in Grand Junction.

Check out my related post called Retire in Grand Junction: Your Grandkids and Kids Will Thank You. It explains why living in an area that serves all ages can be critical to enticing your family to come visit you!

Move to Grand Junction, we’ve been waiting for you!

Don’t wait! Semi-Retire in Grand Junction

Work/Life Balance in Grand Junction

If you are looking for a simpler, more satisfying, work/life balance, I recommend you consider semi-retirement in Grand Junction. To me semi-retirement means working full or part-time and having a flexible lifestyle that allows you more freedom. Full retirement in Grand Junction is fabulous, but why wait until you fully “retire” to move to Grand Junction or any of our beautiful communities here in Mesa County?

Moving to Colorado!

If you are at a point in your life that would allow you the opportunity to move, take it! If you had children, maybe they are now in college or have graduated from college and are out of the house. We’ve gone through those emotions of becoming empty nesters. Our dog died right after our youngest graduated from high school and went off to college in Arizona. We became complete empty-nesters in 2021. However, we were not ready to retire yet, being in our early 50’s at that time.

We reflected on our years together, the places we’ve been, the experiences we’ve had. We decided to make a lifestyle change. We saw and did as much as we wanted to in Minnesota and Wisconsin and made dozens of road trips to Michigan to see family too. We were ready to experience a different part of our amazing country. You can read more about our story on my About Paul page.

Get notifications about new posts and watch my short videos on my Facebook page called Live Your Vacation in Grand Junction.

The point is, I know what it’s like to pivot. I understand what it means to research new communities and consider moving across the country. When we moved, Michelle could continue her same business offering website services since she is free to “work from anywhere”. I, however, had to establish myself again in a brand-new community. Thankfully, I had 20+ years of experience so getting acclimated wasn’t too difficult.

Working in Grand Junction

If you own a business or can work from home, consider checking out GJEP, the Grand Junction Economic Development nonprofit that serves our business community. There are incentives to bring your business here, especially if you offer higher than average wages.

If you are ready for a career change, maybe a pivot to something less stressful in a different industry. There are lots of options in the Grand Valley. We are not a resort town, but we have lots of retail and hospitality opportunities. Colorado Mesa University has opportunities for instructors as well as administrative and community focused staff.

With three hospitals and related clinics in the Grand Valley, jobs in healthcare are plentiful. I get a lot of calls from people who were recruited by St. Mary’s hospital and are now moving here, looking for a place to live. Mostly nurses, but some doctors too.

Each community has an active Chamber of Commerce. Everyone is very friendly and will welcome you with open arms. Bring your business or start a new one after you get here. There is a high entrepreneurial spirit here, a “can-do” attitude, at least that is what we have experienced.

The Western Slope vs the Front Range

If you are moving to Colorado from a higher cost of living area, then your higher work from home wages will go far in our lower cost of living community. Mesa County is less expensive than living on the “front range” cities like Boulder, Denver and Colorado Springs. When you read or hear statistics about Colorado, be sure to consider the point of reference. The western slope tends to be more rural and therefore more conservative, just like other states.

The west slope moves at a slower pace. There is less congestion with fewer people. We don’t experience “traffic” here. So, if you have been commuting to a job and want to reclaim hours of your day and week, it’s time to semi-retire in Grand Junction.

I could write more here about all the things to do, places to eat, and outdoor activities, but that’s basically what this whole blog is about. I’ve said this a thousand times; Grand Junction makes a great base camp to access so much more within a 2-3 hour drive. It’s a truly diverse area when you think you can live in the desert yet be in the Rocky Mountains within 2 hours. Every drive we take is amazing. We say “Wow! Look at that!” a whole lot more than we used to, that’s for sure. Read about the day trips from Grand Junction that I’ve posted. I am continually adding more as we explore this diverse region of the country.

The key takeaway is life is precious. LIVE your best life every day. Don’t get stagnant and think you are stuck. You are not. Don’t wait to move to Colorado until you retire, semi-retire in Grand Junction now. We are waiting for you with open arms.

Call/text me at 612-306-9558 if you are coming into town and want to connect. I’d be happy to show you around Grand Junction, Fruita, and Palisade. I can help you with buying a house in Grand Junction, anywhere in Mesa County, or buying a house in Colorado communities near Grand Junction that you may be considering. I’m up for a road trip, how about you?

Check out the post I wrote about living in a place that your kids and grandkids will want to come for a visit. We have so much to offer people of all ages.
