Wells Group named "Business of the Year" by the Durango Area Chamber Resort Association!

The Wells Group Real Estate Brokerage was recognized as the 2000 "Business of the Year" by DACRA, the Durango Area Chamber Resort Association. We are both honored and challenged by this award.

Our honor is in being recognized by an organization that represents the business men and women of the Durango area, many of whom set the early standards for community involvement that we follow today.

The three young men who founded The Wells Group in 1985 shared the following philosophy: "By participating in and helping to improve our community we will benefit from the knowledge we obtain and the improvements we help create." This idea has been shared with the agents and staff at The Wells Group as the company has grown -- community service has not only been encouraged, it has become a priority.

The public endorsement of who we are and what our business represents is pleasing to all of us, and it is good to know that our work philosophy has had a positive impact on others who work and live here. We are also pleased that this award recognizes the real estate industry as a legitimate and contributing service industry in our community.

The award also presents a new challenge for us. The recognition as a leader in the business community requires that we assume an even greater role in civic responsibility. We are ready and willing to increase our level of involvement in the community and to encourage all of our colleagues to do the same.

We are blessed to live and work in a beautiful setting, to have many true friends and the support of a sophisticated business community. Our sincere thanks to all of you. We will continue to strive to earn your respect.
