Main St. in Cortez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a vision for what a new, cutting-edge realty company can bring to the area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The company will provide real estate services \u201cacross the board,\u201d including residential, commercial and land sales, Stanley said. He plans to focus on listings in Montezuma and Dolores counties.<\/p>\n<p>Stanley previously worked in Mancos. The United Country franchise provides real estate agents with lots of media and online exposure for their property listings, Stanley said. That\u2019s helpful in a rural area where many buyers start looking online, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Good things are happening in the housing market, and it\u2019s recovering from the 2008 recession, Stanley said. Even though there is a shortage of houses, that can be a good sign for the market, he said. Values and demand are recovering and equalizing, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s good news for everyone,\u201d Stanley said.<\/p>\n<p>Stanley said he and his staff members look forward to establishing themselves and building on their success in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see a scenario where people will stop coming to Southwest Colorado,\u201d Stanley said. \u201cThis feels like a healthy rate of growth for the area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blueskyhomesandland.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.blueskyhomesandland.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>moves to East Main Street<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73031,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[431,21,60],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-73030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-business-general","tag-cortez","tag-montezuma-county"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73030\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73030"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=73030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
