It is with over 20 years of experience as a mountain dweller that Erika welcomes you to the Front Range real estate market!
Her parents nurtured her love for adventure. Born in Sacramento, CA, she moved all over the western states with her family. Well into her teens, she accompanied them on every house hunt, approaching the art of finding the perfect home with the passion of a sport. In her high school years, they ended up in Colorado – and she knew that this was where she wanted to stay! When her husband and her returned from the University of Hong Kong with their master’s degrees, they headed straight back to Colorado. They built a couple of tech companies, won recognition for one of them from CSIA’s Top 18 Most Innovative Companies, and bought their first home up in the mountains west of Boulder where they continued in the spirit of entrepreneurialism by starting and running a mountain ISP for several years. During this time, she also published a few books, and most importantly, her husband and her started a family, raising their three children up here in the clean mountain air. They have worked hard to improve their sustainability, also raising chickens, bees, and adding solar capacity to their home. Their goal as a family is to work to reduce their carbon footprint as much as they can!
When the 2013 Flood devastated my community, she had the opportunity to help rebuild Jamestown, CO. As the Asst. Flood Recovery Manager, she coordinated community communications, projects, and assisted and advocated for people working with the federal property buyouts. She has worked with the Town of Louisville as their Sustainability Coordinator to provide community resources to improve their energy, water, recycling, and transportation options, as well as with the Town of Lyons, to work with federal grant fund management and infrastructure projects. Throughout it all, she has never lost sight that she works for the community and for the improvement of all their livelihoods.
As a REALTOR® at the Jenn Porter Group since early 2019, her goal is the same. Whether you are looking for a home close to your work with an escape route to the mountains (or the other way around!) She will work with you to help you make informed and intelligent real estate decisions so that you can LIVE BETTER!
