About Pat
Listing Agent Real Estate Profile: Pat Olian
The business of Real Estate isn't just about selling homes; it's more than bricks and mortar. Real Estate is about helping people fulfill their personal and financial dreams and goals.
After college I became an executive in the textile industry in New York City for 10 years. In 1985 I moved to the foothills of Northern Colorado to be with my husband Jerry. Once here, I spent several months commuting back and forth to Denver and Boulder taking classes to secure my Broker's License.
The following year we moved to town and I began my real estate career in earnest. I have been actively selling homes in this area since 1986. Many changes have occurred both in this community, and in the way that real estate is conducted.
I joined RE/MAX Advanced in 1991. I chose this particular company for several reasons. I believed, and still do, that being affiliated with a nationally recognized company is a plus for me and the people I am representing. It affords name recognition, relocation information, educational resources and frankly, some clout. My office has a full-time managing broker which is very unusual today. This provides access to a highly qualified partner to be able to call upon should the need arise.
Our daughter Amy was born in 1994. People have told me that having a child later in life helps keep you young. I´m not so sure I believe that, but it certainly is fun.
