Easy Ways to Save Water at Home
Managing water is a growing concern in the United States. Communities across the country are starting to face challenges regarding water supply and water infrastructure. Launched in 2006, WaterSense is an EPA-sponsored partnership program that seeks to protect the future of our nation's water supply by promoting water efficiency and enhancing the market for water-efficient products, programs, and practices..
Save water at home with a few easy fixes:
1. Replace your toilets. If your toilet is from 1992 or earlier, you probably have an inefficient model that uses at least 3.5 gallons per flush. New and improved WaterSense labeled models use less than 1.28 gallons per flush-that generally 60 percent less than their older, less efficient counterparts saving you money each year.
2. Fix a Leaky Faucet. Leaky faucets that drip at the rate of one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water each year
3. Make it a Full Load. The average washing machine uses about 41 gallons of water per load. High-efficiency washing machines use less than 28 gallons of water per load. To achieve even greater savings, wash only full loads of laundry or use the appropriate load size selection on the washing machine.
4. Take a Shower. A full bath tub requires about 70 gallons of water, while taking a five-minute shower uses 10 to 25 gallons. If you take a bath, stopper the drain immediately and adjust the temperature as you fill the tub.
5. Water Your Yard Wisely. The typical single-family suburban household uses at least 30 percent of their water outdoors for irrigation. Some experts estimate that more than 50 percent of landscape water use goes to waste due to evaporation or runoff caused by overwatering.
Install drip irrigation systems which will use between 20 to 50 percent less water than conventional in-ground sprinkler systems. They are also much more efficient than conventional sprinklers because no water is lost to wind, runoff, and evaporation.

Recently, there were significant price reductions on some lots in Steamboat. The Steamboat Barn Village is where the famous poster shot was taken of cowboys on horses with their skis against the backdrop of the historic More Barn. This is a great piece of land that has a walking trail on the perimeter, Fish Creek bordering the north side and views of the ski mountain, valley and Emerald Mountain that are incredible. The central location makes this a great investment for building now while construction prices are lower or hold for the future. Prices begin at $224,950 and there are some sweet lots by the creek.

I keep up with the latest trends and best opportunities out there. I give Sellers accurate information on the current market and help Buyers find the best property for their investment.
Angela's love for Colorado began at the age of 10, when her family made the first ski trip to Colorado from Tulsa, OK. At a very young age, she committed to move to Colorado and did so in 1991. Moving from Denver, she feels as though she has reached her destination in Steamboat Springs. She now understands what others have called "The Yampa Valley Curse". She is excited to continue her sales career in this quickly changing real estate market and experience all of the great things that this community offers.
She has her BBA in marketing and advertising from the University of Oklahoma and has spent most of her career in sales and management. To enhance her real estate career and feed her passion, Angela received her EcoBroker certification in 2006, to be Steamboat's first. While she sells all types of real estate, this certification and her involvement in the local building community is a bonus to her clients. Her knowledge of energy-efficient and sustainable design continues to expand, as does the demand for those types of properties. In addition to her lengthy sales career, she has been involved in start-up companies including a local non-profit and loves the entrepreneurial spirit that is pervasive in Steamboat Springs. She consistently searches for innovations in marketing and strives to keep her clients up to date with her blog at www.yoursteamboathome.com/blog.
She is the Chair of the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council and has been integral in the start-up of this local non-profit that is focused on advancing sustainability initiatives in the region. She has written articles in HomeLinkmagazine and currently has a column called "Green Acres" in The Steamboat Local. Alpine skiing brought her to Colorado and is still her favorite winter sport, but recently has discovered mountain biking. Other interests include hiking 14ers, reading, cooking, art, interior design and giving back to the community.

What my clients say:
"Angela's dedication to getting the job done while keeping my best interest in mind were what allowed me to sell my townhome for asking price and find and purchase the home I wanted in 4 months. She provided the highest degree of customer service and professionalism with her attention to detail, accessibility and knowledge of the real estate market. Her in depth understanding of the buying/selling transactional process/paperwork saved me both money and time."
Angie Mangiardi "Angela's knowledge of the Steamboat Springs area and real estate market was incredibly helpful. You were very patient and professional in leading our search for a new home. Your service prior to closing is only exceeded by your post closing follow up." Stan and Jody Wagoner "We worked with Angela for almost a year looking for the right condominium to purchase in Steamboat. After meeting in person while there on vacation in the summer of 2008, we corresponded regularly by email and telephone for the next 11 months looking at alternatives that Angela kept sending us. She grasped early on what we were looking for and was very patient with our inquisitive nature as we explored the pros and cons of the options being considered. Being out of state residents and working full time complicated the process for us but Angela was always there when we needed answers. When we visited a second time in May 2009, Angela took us to see a number of condo candidates, we made a decision and struck a deal which she helped negotiate with the developer. We can honestly say Angela went above and beyond to assist us, so we recommend her highly." Gloria and Jim Davis
