Buyers
Buyers choose me because I offer outstanding customer service, exceptional attention to detail, and am a strong negotiator. I have lived in Buena Vista and the Arkansas Valley for over 19 years, and I have over 9 years of experience managing short term vacation rentals in Buena Vista. I stay up to date on the local zoning and short term rental (STR) regulations, developments with water availability, and new construction developments. I know the area well and am committed to working for the best possible outcome for my clients with honesty and integrity.
Sellers
Sellers choose me because I am committed to putting the latest and greatest digital marketing technologies to work helping to sell your home faster and at a higher price. Presentation matters, especially in the digital world. I use professional photographers, video walk through virtual tours, and take great care to write creative and highly detailed descriptions of your property. I encourage you to check out some of my past listings and compare them with other realtors. I always appreciate the opportunity to interview for the job as your realtor.
I never work as a Transaction Broker
A transaction broker represents both parties (buyers and sellers) and is not allowed to give either party his/her best advice. I am committed to working only for you with your best interests in mind. If a buyer I’m working with wants to purchase a property that I have listed I will refer the buyer to another trusted agent in my office.
Tech Savvy
Mark Krasnow has over a decade of digital marketing experience and he is eager to leverage the most advanced technologies available to help you achieve your real estate goals.
Service Oriented
Going above and beyond is my specialty. I am committed to communicating with you every step of the way and being available when you need me.
Modern Approach
I am committed to bringing the most advanced digital marketing solutions to my clients. Google, Facebook, and Instagram can get your home in front of millions of people. I deliver measurable results!
Buena Vista, Salida, Nathrop, and all of Chaffee County and the surrounding Arkansas Valley are great places to buy real estate for yourself or for an investment. This area is experiencing significant growth and the real estate market is booming. The post-COVID Boom is real and more people than ever are able to realize the dream of being able to live where they want rather than were their job is. This made the Buena Vista real estate market even more competitive. Recently the Town of Buena Vista and Chaffee County have each enacted new short term rental restrictions. The demand shows no signs of slowing down.
There are still some great bargains to be found if you know where to look (hint, that’s where I come in). Salida is the county seat and has always been the center of the Chaffee County arts community, and Salida has an excellent selection of shops and restaurants. Due to their proximity to Salida, Poncha Springs has experienced significant growth recently. Known as the “Crossroads of the Rockies”, Poncha Springs has some beautiful home building sites, fantastic commercial opportunities, and is much less expensive than Salida.
Buena Vista has grown the most over the last seven years. Buena Vista’s economy has really taken off with the revitalization of E. Main Street and the Downtown business district. BV has lots of new restaurants, shops, and four of the best music venues in all of Central Colorado. BV is the music capitol of the Arkansas Valley! E. Main Street has seen a lot of growth lately: the La Vista building on the corner of E. Main and S. Court St is home to three new businesses and dozens of apartments. CKS and the Buena Viking just opened a beautiful new complex on the east end of E. Main St. A new boutique wine shop and liquor store is coming to South Main in Buena Vista in the spring of 2025. Buena Vida Wine & Spirits will be a great addition to town.
With a limited number of hotel beds, short term vacation rental properties have become a vital component of Chaffee County tourism. Anyone interested in investing a short term vacation rental property in Buena Vista, Salida, or in unincorporated Chaffee County should fully research and understand the rules and regulations pertaining to vacation rental properties. As a short term vacation rental property owner I stay up to speed on the regulations and discussions on future regulations for short term rentals. If you are searching for a vacation rental property then you want to work with a Realtor who has experience with short term rentals.
