MARJORIE PHELPS

Employing Broker & Owner

Marge headshot_edited_edited.jpg

I started visiting Colorado in 1996 and in 1998 moved to the beautiful western slope.  I moved from southern Virginia, and upstate New York,  where I had a farm and  raised Registered Polled Hereford breeding stock and 4 daughters.  I was also working as an Employment Counselor for the State of Virginia and later as a retail manager and trainer for large retail chain. After my 4 daughters graduated from college my itchy foot took over and I came West, traveling and camping extensively and finally settling in Ridgway. 

 

Decided to become a Realtor. I started selling subdivisions, mainly, and learning how to build a house and infrastructure. I met so many wonderful people and just felt as if I found the career that completely suited me. After 2 years I became a Broker/Owner of my own company.  Have been doing that ever since except for a 7 year stint as broker for Keller Williams.  I have successfully done over 500 deals since getting my license. New construction came to a screeching halt in 2007 so I expanded my business to include resales, vacant land, some commercial, and small ranches. 

 

During my years as Realtor I have served as President of local MLS, Treasurer of Regional MLS, President and State Representative for Montrose Association of Realtors, and Instructor for American Dream Real Estate School.  I am now Broker/Owner of Phelps Real Estate Group with 13 Broker Associates all with experience, honesty, knowledge, and caring.

CO Certified Residential Appraiser

Bill is a combination of amazing work ethic and determination.  He is an active Real Estate Appraiser and brings that unique skill set to Phelps Real Estate Group, Inc.  This gives him the ability to perform different types of appraisals to establish and certify property values instead of depending on less accurate methods typically used to estimate prices.  His appraisal business, Mountain West Appraisal Service, has been serving the Montrose, Ouray, Delta and San Miguel County areas for the past 27 years.  He is known by his clients for being fair and honest.  He welcomes hard work and is willing to go above and beyond for his clients.  Bill is a fifth generation resident of Montrose.  His family first settled in the Spring Creek area in the early 1900’s as farmers and ranchers.  Bill has worked the same ground that his great-great grandfather did.  His heart is tied to this community and he hopes to help others plant roots here.  He is also a family man.  He has been married to his wife, Laci, for 14 years.  Together they have two sons named Cade & Dalton, and one daughter named Josie.  He is an attentive and fun father and loving husband.  Bill is also an avid outdoorsman.  He enjoys all the bounty that the Western Slope has to offer and he can be found in the surrounding mountains hunting, fishing, or riding in his UTV.

DEBORAH REED

Broker Associate

I am a long time transplant to the area and have never regretted the move. Our daughter was born here and learned to ski at nearby Telluride Ski Resort, later becoming a member of the US Ski Team (freestyle aerials) traveling the World Cup Circuit. Telluride is just flat out awesome skiing!  I am into weightlifting as a way to keep the cobwebs clear, and love just being outside enjoying all we have in this area.  Not everyone is lucky enough to have a view of the San Juan Mountains as they go to work.  Living and working in this high mountain valley in Western Colorado is a dream come true!

GIA PIRELLI

Broker Associate

I am a real estate agent who handles business quickly and knows how to take excellent care of my clients, while making property transactions fun and enjoyable.  I started my professional career in the fast-paced movie industry doing strategic planning and business development for Universal Pictures.  I was known for listening, anticipating needs and problem solving. My job was to ensure our partners and top executives had the right resources to make business run smoothly and efficiently.  Building on that success I founded a consulting company, Adwater & Stirr, which I ran until moving to the Western Slope over twenty years ago.  I wanted to be closer to family and soon fell in love with style of life Southwest Colorado has to offer.  I began investing in real estate soon after arriving in the Montrose area and have a lot of personal experience in buying and selling residential and investment properties.  I also started and ran a successful full-service salon which enabled me to develop long standing relationships with a wide network of clients and business professionals.  This means that not only can I provide you with excellent service but I also have people for whatever your real estate needs may be.  I specialize in unique properties and look forward to serving you.

REBECCA TALLENT

Broker Associate

I have spent most of my life in this area and I feel like the people here are all my family. I have been in business in the Delta and Montrose area for over 30 years.   My husband, Lynn & I have been in the new construction business since 2000.  We have built many quality, custom homes in both Delta and Montrose counties and the surrounding Western Slope area.  Our homes range in price from entry level to luxury as we pride ourselves in making our clients budget and needs work together to create their perfect home.  In my real estate business I specialize in new construction, however, I keep busy with property management and resale buyers as well.   I can coordinate the sale of your current home with the building schedule of your dream home and make it all work for you which will ease the transition. My favorite part of new construction is choosing the finishing products and coordinating colors of flooring, paint, cabinets and all the other details which can become mind-boggling to some.  It is so rewarding to see families take possession of their new home with such excitement and sense of accomplishment.  I also stay busy with various community service organizations because I feel it is so important to give back and to take care of where I live and the people that share this wonderful area with me. I cherish the history of our western slope area and believe that the significance of our history helps us live a better life today.  Lynn and I have two grown children, Derek and Rachel.  I am proud to say that my daughter, Rachel, is also a realtor in the Chicago area.  Derek has traveled all over the western United States as a wildland firefighter for the last 10 years.  It goes without saying that I am so very proud of him as well. We enjoy spending time with our family, traveling to new adventures, weekends at our cabin retreat, antiquing and vintage cars.

SHANE DALY

Broker Associate

Hi, I’m Shane Daly. I was born in California, but thankfully my parents had the good sense to move back to Colorado when I was still very young. I feel very blessed to have grown up on the Western Slope, with all the freedoms and seemingly endless adventures it has to offer.  I was welcomed to the Phelps team in early 2021. My dad is an electrical contractor and has been investing in real estate for years, so I have been peripherally involved in new construction, property management, and the buying and selling of real estate for most of my life.  I married my wife Joanna in 2014. After a couple years of marriage, we wanted to start our family but weren’t quite ready for a baby yet, so we adopted our oldest daughter Selena through foster care when she was 12. Later we were able to adopt another beautiful little girl Audrey, and on January 1, 2021, my beautiful wife gave birth to our third daughter Daphne. As a father I know that the value of a home is not strictly financial.  Therefore, I aim to treat every client like a close friend with their best interest and desires at the center of every transaction. I would love for the opportunity to represent you.
