I
'm Bernadette Fuoco, broker owner of Sierra Realty, LLC. You can reach me at (970) 234-1692. I was born and raised in Grand Junction, and I've lived here most of my life.

    What draws me to this area is its proximity to the mountains and trails for outdoor recreation. It's a short drive to explore the Grand Mesa, Uncompaghre, or Glade Park. I also appreciate the agricultural and rural aspects of our community and the people who call it home.

    I've been in real estate for many years, having purchased Sierra Realty, LLC in 1999. As broker owner, I work closely with Angelina Kelleghan to help clients achieve their goals. What I love most about my job is connecting with interesting people and watching them find their dream homes – often becoming lifelong friends in the process.

    Before real estate, I studied music, Italian education, and science in college. However, my family's business background drew me into the world of entrepreneurship, and I've never looked back.

    When not working, you can find me on my ranch, tending to my small herd of cows or exploring the mountains on horseback. It's a labor of love that brings me joy every day.

    For those looking to buy or sell a home, I recommend getting pre-qualified as early as possible to avoid surprises during the process. For sellers, it's essential to declutter and remove personal items from the property to help potential buyers envision their own space.
