Kari Girard, Ponderosa Real Estate The Source For Real Estate

Kari and Chase Girard have built Ponderosa Real Estate into a trusted, family-operated fixture in Ridgway. We specialize in homes and land across the Western Slope, guiding both buyers and sellers through every step of the transaction. Our approach is straightforward: we listen to your needs without pushing a specific agenda, accommodating clients who are relocating from the East Coast or searching for a second home nearby. Chase’s background in construction and building materials, combined with his knowledge of local zoning, HOAs, and taxation, ensures that every property we handle is evaluated thoroughly. We pride ourselves on being available seven days a week, including evenings, to accommodate busy schedules and urgent needs. Many of our clients appreciate our patience during the search process; we bracket their desires and constraints, showing them homes that truly fit rather than just listing what is available. From cash sales completed in weeks to complex transactions involving mountain home maintenance, we bring a zero-nonsense professionalism to every deal. Our long-standing presence in Ridgway means we know the area’s unique character, from its farm-house style homes to properties with stupendous views. We look forward to helping you find your place on the slope.
