Alanna Spees REALTOR®
helping you Thrive in Grand Junction!

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

Welcome to my website that’s made by me, but built for you! It’s full of stories, experiences, and tidbits from a local perspective on how to get the most out of living in the Grand Valley. 

Hi, I’m Alanna Spees REALTOR®. I have been a licensed REALTOR® since 2018. My career began in science, and I assumed that is how my career path would be. After moving to Grand Junction, and spending the past 10+ years building several successful real estate investing companies, I felt compelled to make a change.

I chose to commit my career to success in residential real estate for anyone who wants to be in this lane with me. 

Whether you have lived here your whole life, are new to the area, or thinking of moving, I have chosen several topics that can help you experience Grand Junction to its fullest. Including the constant act of life balancing, tourism which includes outdoor lifestyle opportunities, and food and drink. I hope you find connection and relatability with these topics. 

Where you live is important, and it can be a grounding force as you navigate the challenges in life. My hope is that some of the information here will help you thrive in yours!

On this website, I have highlighted some favorite places, hikes, restaurants, and things to do. 

What are your faves? I’d love to try them out.
