Doris Bailey - Slifer, Smith & Frampton Real Estate

You have been in Vail for over 50 years. what is it about the Vail Valley that keeps you calling it home?
One trip over Vail Pass during a snow-covered February in 1963 was all it would take to call Vail home. At the time, no one had a clue we were witnessing the creation of not only a world-class ski hill but a thriving, livable community. I have always enjoyed the restaurants, shops, artistry, and world-class events, however it’s the people here that make it so inviting and special. The life-long friendships, many of which blossomed through my career in real estate, are what truly keep me anchored.
Given your 30-plus years of Real Estate experience, what advice would you give buyers looking for their piece of this Valley?
A home’s value in dollars may be a concern but the “TRUE VALUE” will be realized the first time your grandson you’ve watched ski since he took his first turns at age 3, holds high a medal from his first podium finish for his ski club. The first time Dad forgot the dog and had to turn around in Frisco, or welcoming your now 22-year-old daughter to her favorite place on earth for her last Christmas vacation before heading into the real world. In short, follow your dreams!
