2025 was a full year. In the best way.
Professionally, I marked one year as a real estate and land use paralegal with Lyons Gaddis and two years back in law full time. After several years on the brokerage side of real estate, returning to legal work has reshaped how I think. I read contracts differently. I see risk earlier. I understand how deals actually fail in practice, not just how they are supposed to work in theory. The families that I helped to buy and sell in 2025 are already benefitting from my renewed insight.
This year I also co-founded Longmont Consultants with a partner who is an accountant. It is a full service real estate brokerage built to operate at a higher level. Our sole focus is Boulder County real estate, where legal structure, tax strategy, and execution all have to align. If you want to see what we are working on right now, find us at www.longmont.co
On the personal side, the year brought big moments too. My oldest daughter was accepted to CU Boulder, which means I now have two Buffs. My twins remain at Silver Creek High School in Longmont and keep life busy and grounded.
Looking ahead to 2026, I remain less interested in volume and more focused on quality. Better structure. Better planning. Better outcomes for clients who want clarity and foresight in their real estate decisions.
2025 set the direction. 2026 is about building on it.
