Buying a home locally, building a home while you’re living in another country or securing a construction loan… these aren’t scenarios that should be taken lightly. So, knowing that you’re working with someone who has your best interest as their top priority is extremely important!  

That’s one of the reasons we’re thrilled to introduce you to Blue Sky Mortgage. This company not only offers a wide variety of loan, but they also care about their clients.

This fantastic company was founded by Jimmy Brenner and opened in the Vail Valley over ten years ago. Over the past decade, the team at Blue Sky Mortgage has helped countless individuals, all coming from different backgrounds with vastly different needs, secure the perfect loan. The company was originally started over 45 years ago by Jimmy’s father and was the very first local lending company in the Vail Valley, and to date, the company has helped secure and fund over 12,000 loans!

So, what makes this company so unique and special? To start, they are passionate about helping people, including those who come from an ‘untraditional’ background and may have been turned down for a loan elsewhere.

Jimmy gave us a great example of this:

“We have clients who work on the mountain during the day and bartend at night. A lot of banks wouldn’t even take time to talk with these people, but these are our customers. Given we live, work and play in this community, we genuinely care about those in the community and doing whatever it takes to find a way to help them out.”

Our very own Todd Morrison was so impressed with this company, that he used them for his own mortgage for his new home. Here’s what he had to share, “This is who we used for our mortgage and we couldn’t have been happier. They were able to make it happen! We tried three other companies and nobody was able to help us convert our construction loan to a conventional loan except these guys. We’re beyond grateful for them and what they did for us.”

In addition to supporting residential loans, the team also manages loans for second home owners. “We have clients who live internationally and are working to build or buy in Vail Valley, and we’re able to provide them with the exact same level of superior client service as we do with local clients,” added Jimmy.

Given that Blue Sky Mortgage not only secures, but also funds loans, they are often the place that clients come when they’ve been turned down elsewhere. And, the team at Blue Sky is always eager to help with a customized solution! In addition to supporting residential loans, the team also specializes in bridge loans, blanket loans, FHA and VA loans and ‘one-time close’ construction loans and resolving issues with complicated loans.

We are grateful to have a company like Blue Sky Mortgage right in our backyard. Their commitment to integrity, their passion for helping people obtain their dreams in Vail Valley and their extensive level of experience truly make them a company we want people to support and do business with.

If you’re in the market for a loan, give the team at Blue Sky a ring. We’re certain you’ll be beyond pleased with their expertise and level of service!

Today, we are beyond thrilled to introduce you to Ericka and Lauren – the owners of Do or Dye Hair Salon located right here in Eagle at 128 Broadway #2. This awesome company is going on their first year in business, but they’ve already gained immense popularity for the fantastic work and client service.

These two talented ladies had a very clear vision when they opened Do or Dye – provide the highest quality of service at an affordable price to men, women and children alike! And, since the day they opened, they’ve been successful in making their vision a reality.

What really sets this salon apart from others is the environment. Unlike other salons that typically cater to a specific audience – barber shop for men, fancy salons for women, hair cut shops for children – Do or Dye has created a place that feels like home to every individual that walks through the door. There is no pretentious nature, but rather a welcoming and friendly vibe that makes you feel like you’ve walked into a friend’s house.  

We asked Ericka and Lauren to share a bit more about the salon, and here’s what they had to say…

“Ericka and I have been in this business for a long time, but we never felt like we were in salons that embodied the environment we wanted our clients to experience. So, we were so excited when the right opportunity came along to open Do or Dye,” said Lauren.

Ericka shared the same sentiment and added that, given both she and Lauren live locally, they both were passionate about starting this business in the area. “Feeling more involved in our community and knowing we were giving back to the people who love this area just as much as we do was another huge reason why we were so excited to open the salon,” said Ericka.

Besides creating an awesome environment at Do or Dye, the salon is also unique in the services it offers. These two very talented women possess unique skillsets that allow them to provide everything from children’s and men’s haircuts to standard coloring to vivid, pop color and more! At the end of the day, there isn’t any color or cut service that can’t make happen.

Both Ericka and Lauren are also passionate about the hair care product line they carry, and for good reason! Monat is an amazing, naturally based line that promotes hair growth, improves the health of 

hair, detoxes hair from mineral build-up and all of the amazing scents are purely from essential oils.

We’re thrilled to have a business like Do or Dye located in our community and are grateful for Ericka and Lauren for making it a success!
