Meet Our Staff Series: Carolyn Rogers

Carolyn@All-Seasons.com

Carolyn was born and raised in Penrose, Colorado, a very small town just south of Colorado Springs. She worked in Business Administration for approximately 10 years before taking Real Estate courses at the local university to learn more about her own burgeoning rental properties. Little did she know she would soon be eating, sleeping and breathing Real Estate. 

Realizing that Real Estate was her thing, she obtained her License and dove full time into the Real Estate field in 1978. She graduated from the Real Estate Institute in 1980, and earned the degree of Certified Residential Specialist in 1982. From 1978 to 1985, she was top producer at her brokerage firm.

After many years of successful selling, and dabbling in Property Management, she decided to make the big leap and specialize in Property Management.  In 1986, she opened All Seasons, LLC, CRMC, in the same comfortable building where the company still resides.  

She is involved in the community and with professional organizations in her field. Some of her achievements include:

Her company has won awards, too. In September of 2008, All Seasons LLC was awarded the prestigious CRMC (Certified Residential Management Company) award, the only company in Southern Colorado to hold this designation.

Most of all, Carolyn cares greatly for her company and the services they provide the community. If an issue comes up with one of her properties, tenants, or owners, she applies her considerable experience and gentle approach to solving the issue quickly. She is involved in the everyday running of her company because she loves what she does, and cares about the people in her community.

Seeking Alpha: It's Time To Buy Real Estate


Published in Seeking Alpha | August 1, 2012 | Written by Markos Kaminis
If you can afford to invest in it now, it's time to buy real estate. Housing may never be more affordable again in most markets. Mortgage rates are at record lows and based on a recent report, home prices are on the rise again. So, for those who have a safe store of wealth, strong job security and are not living in their own home yet, I suggest investing in real estate now. Those who are a bit better off, might wisely add income earning property to their portfolios. Even as the economy slows anew, threatening to stymie real estate demand, I see other factors that could price real estate out of bounds for most Americans in the future.
The Federal Reserve's efforts to stop the bleeding in housing and rejuvenate the critical sector have combined with international issues to drive U.S. interest rates down. Mortgage rates seem to strike a new record low each week, though the impact to housing demand has been diffused by ongoing economic sluggishness. Yet, those who can afford to buy a home should not let the inability of others affect their decision making now, or risk missing an opportunity to secure unprecedented low fixed mortgage rates.
...and when you're ready to buy a home for your family, call:
