We hear from the Hinsdale County School District that “our district was one of only 18 to earn a 2011 accreditation rating of ‘Accredited with Distinction’. We were the highest performing district in the state, based on earning the highest percentage of points possible on the accreditation indicators: academic achievement, growth, growth gaps and postsecondary readiness. This rating was based on 3 years of data. Lake City Community School was named a 2011 John Irwin School of Excellence for demonstrating academic excellence.” Congratulations!

Welcome to the Alpine Loop Back Country Byway, one of the finest examples of our nation’s Back Country Byway System. Seventy-five miles of road carve through the breathtaking San Juan Mountains connecting the towns of Lake City, Ouray, Telluride, Ophir, and Silverton. Routes through the mountains follow ancient paths worn by Native Americans traversing the region as they returned to traditional summer camps. In the late 1800’s, miners in search of precious metals widened these paths to accommodate horse- and mule-drawn wagons and built additional roads to access mines. Today, the remains of ghost towns, mines, mills, aerial trams, and railroads, are prominient reminders of the region’s extensive mining history.
For more information, please contact the Silver Thread/Alpine Loop Interpretive Center at 970-944-2527 or 1-800-569-1874 or visit www.lakecity.com.
The above information was taken from a brochure titled, “Alpine Loop Motor Vehicle Summer Travel Routes” dated 2011 by the U.S. National Forest Service and U.S. Department of the Interiors Bureau of Land Management.

“Our relationship with Hall Realty started many years ago when we would rent a cabin for a few days each summer. We would pick up the newest copy of the magazine and peruse it each time. Eventually we came to the conclusion that we wanted to have a place of our own.
Over the years we have developed a wonderful friendship with Jeff and Danielle Worthen and the rest of the staff at Hall Realty. They all worked together to help us make our dream a reality. Everyone is very professional, courteous, and go out of their way to help us in any way that they can. Even though we now own property we still stop by the office when we are in town to visit.
The new website is just awesome and it show off all of the listings in such a great way. We highly recommend Hall Realty, Inc. to anyone looking to make a purchase in the Lake City area. Many times we have recommended the website to view rental properties for friends who want to stay in Lake City.”

“Thank you for the excellent customer service everyone at Hall has provided to us…Of course, we are especially grateful for our relationship with Donna Bohnsack. We first started looking at Lake City properties in September of 2007. I really don’t know how many homes and lots Donna showed us until we purchased a home last year [2011], but I know we must surely have exhausted her patience! If we did, however, she never showed it in even the slightest way and even more meaningful to us, she persistently expended incredible effort in helping us find just the right place.
She was diligent in fully understanding what we wanted and what we could afford. She showed us properties within those parameters and didn’t try to impose on us anything else. Simply stated, she was dedicated to meeting our needs without being pushy to accomplish her own purposes. Clearly, she knows the market there like the back of her hand and was dutiful to keep us informed as any new properties came on the market. Though our primary residence is hundreds of miles away, she has always been just a phone call or e-mail away.
I’m not sure I’ve ever known anyone who works any harder than Donna or goes about her work in a more professional way. She is friendly, knowledgeable, conscientious, client-centered, diligent, thorough and focused…but never over-bearing or impatient. We greatly admire all of those characteristics but what we appreciate most is her honesty. I am hard-pressed to adequately convey to you how much we value that virtue in her. She has consistently proven herself to have honesty beyond reproach and has diligently conducted herself with total integrity. Not only do we consider her our realtor, we also think of her as a friend.
We are big fans of Hall Realty, Inc., and of Donna Bohnsack. We simply could not be more pleased and are both grateful and honored to have had our real estate needs met throuth Hall and Donna!”

“It is with a great deal of satisfaction that we recommend Hall Realty to anyone who is seeking a realtor to assist them with property needs in the Lake City, Colorado area. Over the 45 years that we have been married we have purchased or sold property a number of times. We have no hesitation in stating that Hall Realty, in the persons of Danielle and Jeff Worthen, were the most professional in the way they conducted their business, that we have ever worked with.
We found that our needs were always handled with full confidentiality, and no personal information or confidence was ever compromised. We were provided with accurate and timely facts related to our sale and all of the proposals that came forward during the negotiations.
When we needed personal representation, because of our absence from the area, Hall Realty took care of things immediately and followed through until completion. We will use Hall Realty for all of our needs in the future.
If you like people that you work with to have attention to detail and to be prompt, we believe you will be very satisfied with their services. We are authorizing Hall Realty to post this note on their website and we would be happy to answer your specicfic questions directed to us through their office.”

“We are two-time clients of Hall Realty, having purchased a property in Lake City on each occasion.
As out of state interested buyer’s, what attracted us first to Hall Realty was their website which gave us a grand tour of the available listings, together with maps and community information. Upon visiting with the Broker, we were welcomed and provided with all the information needed to make a wise purchase.
What brought us back a second time, was not only our love for the Lake City area but our knowledge of Hall Realty being professional and knowledgeable of real estate listings and transactions. We were likewise greeted with hand shakes and a bright smile plus the courtesy and respect that an interested buyer should receive. Danielle, Jeff and their team made us feel like family, introducing us to town residents, spending adequate time showing and describing properties as well as answering all of our questions. We never felt rushed and always satisfied.
Why would we consider Hall Realty again? When you have the right chemistry, why change? Hall Realty has been around for 34 years, through good and lean years. They are not standing still but further enhancing their website so that interested parties can learn more ahead of visiting. You too can become part of their extended family!”

“My first contact with Hall Realty was in 1995 when Bill Hall helped me purchase a 35 acre parcel on CR 30 on the upper Lake Fork. Over the next 5 years Bill’s seasoned real estate experience and advice were invaluable in helping me plan and carefully establish a beautiful mountain view subdivision with 11 appropriately sized private lots.
Over the past 6 years Hall Realty’s Donna Bohnsack, an outstanding Broker Associate, has sold 7 subdivision lots to individual families who love Hinsdale county’s unique alpine beauty and uncrowded recreational activities.
For 17 years all my real estate needs have continued to be handled in an expert, professional and honest way by the Hall Realty team.”

“We drove through Lake City approximately 12 years ago in our jeep and I told my wife, “we will have a home here one day”. My wife contacted Hall Realty when we returned home and spoke with Donna Bohnsack about purchasing property in Lake City. Donna was consistent in sending us listings and staying in touch for several years. We purchased several properties in Lake City and now have a home on the river in town. Our Hall Realty experience has been wonderful and painless. THE TEAM AT HALL REALTY IS THE BEST!”

“The service we get from Hall Realty is TOP-NOTCH. We have no reason to consider any other realtor. The Brokers at Hall Realty work very hard to sell property, as we have done, and they work hard to find the right property for the buyer, which we have also done, all through Hall Realty.”
