While dumpster diving in 1995, Katie found a pair of K2 Extreme Ski’s and decided it was a sign that Steamboat was her place! One of her best memories of that summer was seeing David Grisman play his mandolin on the Courthouse lawn. That's where the free concerts used to take place and Steamboat was still small enough to close down the street at 5PM on a Friday night. Supporting herself by making tortillas for a local Mexican restaurant that she would eventually own, she saved enough money to spend the summer in Alaska cooking in what used to be a brothel. Luckily she got paid good money and was able to return to Steamboat and take classes at the local college. After transferring and earning her degree at Colorado State University, she worked several seasons as a wildlife tech (mainly birds). This allowed her to follow her passion for birds and nature as she lived in a trailer ‘down by the river’ on the Arapahoe National Wildlife Refuge. After this mission, piecing together her management and restaurant expertise, she purchased the iconic La Montana Mexican Restaurant. This was just as the Great Recession was hitting Steamboat. Definitely not for the faint of heart, she still thrived, while learning and laughing a lot. Today while she misses her restaurant friends, she's still laughing and learning and enjoys working in real estate. Her skills as a creative thinker and problem solver mesh well and serve her clients well. When she's not working, you can find Katie counting grouse in the Elk River Valley, shredding Mount Werner, skate skiing Howelsen, mountain biking, or hanging with friends and family.
Katie would love to serve you in finding your dream home or selling your home quickly for the most value. Give Katie a call today!
I am seriously blown away by Katie! She went above and beyond what I had expected from a realtor selling a small, relatively inexpensive lot of land in Stage Coach. Her communication skills were superb, her knowledge of the area is obvious, her know-how of the business was never in doubt and her work ethic is really impressive. I honestly can't say enough good and I would recommend her to anyone selling land or housing in the Steamboat area. Thanks again Katie!
Katie is by far the best agent i have ever dealt with. She goes above and beyond and is such an amazing person.
Katie was great and knowledgeable. She ensured I got all the information needed. The purchase went very smoothly and in a timely manner . She was on top of all the milestones and provided advice when needed. Great attention to detail and work ethic.
Katie Weeks goes beyond expectations for a realtor. She keeps on top of things, communicates about all aspects of interactions w seller's realtor & all business we need to know. Katie emails all materials then goes over them w us in person & reminds us of items for wh we are responsible. Previously we did 2 transactions w Katie & chose to do 2 transactions again this year. The office staff is personable & helpful, as well.
Katie attended to our small value transaction with the attention I would expect for a multi-million dollar purchase. Katies 27 years of living in Steamboat is evident from her extensive knowledge of the area along with an extensive understanding of the local real estate market including history and trends. If you are looking for a fun, caring, knowledgeable and experienced agent.... look no further!
If only my life were filled with the likes of Katie Weeks (and Elise who assisted Katie) my world would be perfect! From the moment I reached out to Katie in search of vacant property, until I munched on the delicious yummies she sent us in celebration of Closing, every aspect of the experience was flawless. Katie is the quintessential professional, a lovely human, and a smart woman. My husband and I will happily refer clients to Katie, and hope to have business dealings with her for years to come. Thank you, Katie!
Katie is Awesome!
Katie was very helpful and professional and a pleasure to work with. She has helped me before as well and will be my first call if I ever am in the market again.
Helpful and professional!
I am a Real Estate broker in the State of Texas and have been for 40 years. I know the Austin Texas market but, Steamboat Springs area and Colorado, I am a rookie. After looking at a number of houses online and realizing, I know nothing about Steamboat real estate, I hired Katie to be my Steamboat agent, she was exemplary! She answered every question, usually before I asked. She knew the proper government officials to contact, had a list of qualified inspectors, appraisers, water and septic professionals, etc. Katie is smart, outgoing and positive. She helped me with the purchase of two properties and her ability to think outside the box is one of her most valuable assets. She knows how to get the deal done! I would recommend Katie to anyone looking for property in the Steamboat Springs area. Katie has superior market knowledge and 6 years of experience in Steamboat. Her professionalism is unparalleled and I know you will have a similar positive experience when you hire her. Highest Regards, Hadley Heinrichs
