Hi, my name is Carol Ann Peterson. I was born and raised in Bonita, Californiaa small suburb of San Diego. I grew up in this rural area surrounded by rolling hills, farms, small ranches & horses. As kids we rode horses, bikes, and caught crawdads under the local bridge. We walked / hiked to our friends homes and never thought much about it. The community & schools had activities and events for everyone all year round. They say you return to your roots as you get older and while Bonita has long since changedPagosa is as close to my roots as it is going to be. That is what attracted us and we love it here! I attended San Diego State University majoring in economics & business administration. I pursued a career in the California banking system and worked for two major national banks in Operations at the Assistant Vice-President level. The bank moved us from So. California to the Sacramento area and ultimately to the mountain towns of Grass Valley/Nevada City. After leaving the banking industry, we moved to Arizona and to the small Town of Crown King (Pop. 100). This area presented the opportunity with my banking background to become the on-site controller for an underground gold mining company.This remote location in the mountains gave me a whole different perspective on sense of community & life in general. Next stop on this life journey was 4 years in Tembagapura, Irian Jaya, Indonesia where we lived extremely remote on a jungle island at the 6000-foot elevation in a mining compound. The mines were both underground & open pit and located near the only glacier in the world on the equator. The women & children traveled freely off the island & during this time we traveled all over the world including Australia, where we got our diving certifications in the Great Barrier Reef, England, Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands, Egypt, Thailand, Singapore, Japan, Peru, Ecuador, Galapagos Islands, Tahiti, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, So Africa, Aruba, Costa Rica , St Martin, Bahamas, Playa del Carmen & Mexico.. I have always loved looking at homes, decorating and new construction so Real Estate became a natural path to pursue. I went to work for a large National franchise and learned the business from the ground floor up including building a Property Management Business with full responsibility for all aspects of the trust accounting. As a top-producing agent, I absolutely love my job and enjoy all aspects of the buying & selling process from working with first time homebuyers to the experienced investor looking for a deal in foreclosures or short sales.We arrived in Pagosa by accident like most everyone. We traveled through a few years ago on vacation and came back three weeks later and bought a little piece of Paradise. My husband Tom owned a camera store & photography gallery for several years after he retired and with his picture taking skills as his passion has discovered this area is a photographers dream! As a side note, after Toms proposal of marriage to me, we traveled to Canyon de Chelly and while enroute stopped to take pictures on an old buck-board 20 miles south of town. So we feel this special place is meant to be.We have two sons. Our oldest is a custom pool builder in Arizona.. Our youngest is married & is an Air-Medical Helicopter Captain! Our 16-year-old granddaughter Hailey is their only child & our pride and joy! Our girls Polly and Sable are our beloved Dobergirls with floppy ears. We have added 2 Arab mares to the brood...Fayr Lady & Pagosaa and our chickens. We love adventure & travel,. We ski, entertain, hike, camp and take pictures! I have previosuly served as the Pagosa Springs Area Association of Realtors Board President. I am active in our community fundraising & volunteering my time to help on a number of committees & projects. I am both honored and humbled to have been named the 2013 & 2015-16 Pagosa Springs Realtor of the Year. Im experienced, knowledgeable, hardworking and I look forward to providing not just another ordinary real estate experience but an extraordinary life-changing event.
