Inspiring you to live the best lifestyle you can… this is my passion!
Connecting lifestyle with community is why I love what I do. Living in the Vail Valley is almost as close to heaven as you can get. All four seasons are beautiful. Outdoor activities are abundant. The community is rich with culture, connectivity and the people are genuine. The close proximity to Denver International Airport and our regional Vail Valley Jet Center make it an effortless destination for vacationers, primary or secondary homeowners.
When my clients are looking to purchase a home here, these are the reasons typically which are at the top of the list. In wake of the pandemic, I believe more companies are going to begin instituting a policy about additional remote working within the workplace and the results of my personal survey support this. In addition, according to a recent CNBC article,
Once the economy reopens, 24% say they’d like to work either entirely or more from home compared to how they worked before, while 55% plan to head back to the office.
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey told his employees on Tuesday that many of them will be allowed to work from home in perpetuity, even after the coronavirus pandemic ends, according to a company spokesperson. Read More
“Opening offices will be our decision,” the spokesperson said. “When and if our employees come back, will be theirs.”
Perhaps, there is a shining light throughout this pandemic. People are realizing how important family and friends are. Consistently, I am hearing people from all over the country reevaluating their life and lifestyle. This will ultimately affect where they want to live according to their respective lifestyle. In doing so, I anticipate resort towns, like the Vail Valley, to become more popular than ever as a place to call home.
I recently conducted a survey from people across the country to get their take on their work-life before, during and after COVID-19. The results were intriguing, so take a look at the preview below and click the link to view the whole survey.
