About Don Bailey

I was born in Delta (20 miles north of Montrose) and raised in Colorado. I lived a few years in the Chicago suburbs where I obtained my real estate license in 1974. I've been a full-time licensed Realtor in the Montrose area since 1980.

I feel very proud to be a member of the Montrose community. The high quality of life is the primary reason for living here, yet the stunning scenery and unlimited recreational opportunities may have something to do with it, too. I have enjoyed raising and educating my children here with four graduating from Montrose High School so far. My family and I live in a rustic home on a secluded 40-acre parcel perched on the edge of a canyon with beautiful San Juan and Cimarron mountain views. Our home is a constant reminder to me how blessed we are to live here.

Some of the community organizations I've been involved with include the Montrose Association of Realtors; Western Colorado Congress; Valley Land Conservancy; Kiwanis; Red Coats; Chamber of Commerce; Whole Life Network and Gallerya Youth Center; serving on the boards of many of these organizations. Currently I am serving as the Colorado Association of Realtors Director for the Montrose Board of Realtors.

My business philosophy is basically service oriented. I love to share my knowledge of the area and my professional experience to help buyers find that perfect place and to enable sellers to get the best price for their property. The four cornerstones of my business are service, integrity, knowledge and experience.

I feel that one of the most effective things a Realtor can do is to maintain open lines of communication. For this reason I am available to talk to you at any time: at the office, at home or by cell phone when I'm traveling. It's just as important to me that you can reach me as it is to you. My wife Ellen assists me at the office and would be happy to help you at those times when I am in a meeting or at a showing.

I have received numerous awards for sales productivity during my career as a Realtor, but the best reward for my work efforts are the many happy and satisfied clients that I have helped to buy or sell a home, land or business. For many people, buying or selling real estate is one of the biggest financial decisions that they will make in their lifetimes. Seeing to it that my customers are pleased with their outcome is what makes my job satisfying and purposeful for me.

Being a RE/MAX Broker gives me the flexibility to make my own business decisions. Our firm is consistently at the top in sales because we work hard, we know what to do and we do it well. I have great support with the associates in my office who work with me as part of the RE/MAX team. Being a part of the RE/MAX international network provides me with tremendous resources as well as name-brand recognition. Discover why RE/MAX is Above The Crowd.

If you are looking for a Realtor with competence, integrity and motivation who knows how to communicate and negotiate - call or e-mail, whichever you prefer.

Let me put my experience to work for you!
