Welcome to our We Are Local series where each week we invite you to meet an outstanding member of our team. This week’s feature is all about Lindsay Lafferty, one of our top real estate brokers in the Legacy Properties West Sotheby’s International Realty Main Avenue office. Lindsy is a long time local having spent the last sixteen years here with her family. She is a lover of all things Durango, particularly the Animas Valley.  We took some time today to ask her what she loves about her work, her community, and her passion for the real estate industry. 

1. How long have you been in the real estate industry, and why did you get into this business? I have been in the business for 14 years. I have always had a passion for the Real Estate industry. I started at a Title Company in Denver after graduating from Colorado State University. After working at the Title company I realized I wanted to work with Buyers and Sellers more than just at the closing table. I have also worked at Alpine Bank in the Mortgage Department. So I believe I bring a well rounded wealth of knowledge to help Buyers and Sellers.
2. What is your favorite thing about being a real estate broker? Helping people with the next chapter of their lives. Real Estate is an adventure and every transaction is different and unique. I always grow as a person and strive to be the best at my job that I can be.
3. What is something you have learned from being a real estate broker? You always have to stay calm and not overreact to every situation that comes along.
4. How long have you been in Durango and what brought you here? 16 years. My husband moved down her to work in the construction industry for his Dad. Now my husband has his own successful construction company, Custom-Built, Inc and has built 100’s of homes in the area.
5. What do you like to do outside of work? I have three boys that keep me busy with their sporting events. I enjoy watching them play soccer and basketball.
6. What makes Legacy Properties West Sotheby’s International Realty unique? The marketing is unlike any company I have ever worked for and I believe we have the best agents in Durango.
7. What is one of your greatest personal accomplishments? Being a mother to 3 boys has been my greatest accomplishment so far.
8. What are you passionate about? I am passionate about being the best agent I can be.
9. What is your favorite thing about living in the Southwest Colorado area? I believe we have some of the best views in the country. I especially enjoy living in the Animas Valley. I love the small town feel Durango has, and no traffic!
