Below is a brief bio on each:

He has received numerous sales and recognition awards in his real estate business, and ties to a number of community organizations.

Max Hutcheson:

Max is a Colorado native, who has spent over 15 years enjoying all that Durango has to offer.  He graduated from DHS in 1996, and he went on to play basketball and complete his degree at Fort Lewis, with a degree in marketing.

He has been representing buyers & sellers in real estate for the last six years, and he has built a very successful business.

Janice Martin:

Born and raised in Kansas, Janice practiced law for over 20 years as a partner in the Kansas City law firm of Lathrop and Gage before “retiring” to Durango.  Janice has enjoyed a second career in real estate for over 10 years in Durango and looks forward to her continued association with Don Ricedorff and now with Max Hutcheson as part of The Durango Team and The Wells Group.
