JIM - Key Persons

Colette feels her career choices through the years have prepared her for serving the people of Southern Utah with their real estate needs. Colette started working fresh out of college for the Marriott Hotels, in Portland, Oregon. With Marriott she was responsible for guest services, banquets and conferences. After four years with Marriott, she went on to own and operate a very successful travel agency in her hometown of Cody, Wyoming for nearly a decade. She later developed and managed a personal chef service in Orem, Utah. These professional experiences have reinforced her conviction that genuinely caring about people, and having a passion for meeting their needs, is everything to maintaining integrity in professional and personal relationships. Working side by side with her husband to raise seven children "up north", Colette and Jim have recently discovered that the sunny, warmer weather of Southern Utah is fabulous and are excited to share the surrounding beauty of this area with all of their old and future friends. Colette would love to meet you and provide you with the highest quality of real estate service. After meeting Colette, you will have a life-long friend. She is just that way.
