Richard and Elaine work together to insure that the relocating family has access to the most timely and up to date information that will enable them to assimilate into this new and wonderful environment with a minimum of disruption. The Swomleys have developed a two-part program to simplify and insure the most efficient home search. Please note the two areas that the Swomleys excel in:
1. Personal Presentation and Discussion of Colorado Lifestyle Options:

- Quality of Life Features of Colorado
- Weather and Climate, and how to Enjoy these Features
- Accessibility of Mountain Sports, Summer and Winter
- Integration of Outdoor Recreation with a Sophisticated Lifestyle
- The Arts in Denver
- The Sophisticated Business Environment
- Lifestyle Requirements, and parameters for choice of Neighborhoods and Homes

2. Neighborhood and Home Selection: Lifestyle Determinants
Richard and Elaine will develop a home search plan based on your individual “Lifestyle Determinants”, including business, leisure and recreating, education and schools, special activities. They utilize the extensive research and analytical tools of LIV Sotheby’s as well as Sotheby’s International to present the best range of options for consideration, always focusing on the clients’ parameters and considering those parameters into the Lifestyle Determinants. Home parameters include but are not limited to price, size, style, Lifestyle Determinants, location and access to primary commuting destinations, special considerations such as main floor Master or in-law suite, indoor-outdoor amenities, etc.
