About Me

Hi there! I’m Janine Marr, a local real estate agent with over two decades of experience in Salida, Colorado.


I live for time with family and friends, traveling, and helping people buy and sell homes. With a deep love for the Chaffee County community, I’m excited to share the Arkansas Valley and surrounding areas with you, guiding you through one of the most significant decisions of your life.

My Journey to Real Estate

My career didn’t start off in real estate—in fact, I spent many years as a hairdresser. After moving to Salida, I opened Bangs! Hair Salon, which was an amazing experience that allowed me to deeply connect with the Salida community. I loved getting to know the unique needs and stories of the people here, which gave me a profound appreciation for Salida and the businesses and people who make up this amazing community.


After 30 years as a hairdresser, I was ready to make a change. My passion for helping others and making a significant impact in their lives led me to real estate. Transitioning into this field felt like a perfect extension of what I enjoyed most—building relationships and making a difference. Honestly, becoming a real estate agent has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I’ve never looked back. I love guiding my clients through the process of buying and selling homes.

With over two decades in Salida, I've developed a deep connection to this vibrant community. My certifications as a Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI), Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®), and Certified Real Estate Negotiator (CREN) ensure that you receive top-notch service tailored to your unique needs. As a top agent in Salida, ranked among the top 250 for HomeSmart and a member of the Diamond Club and HomeSmart Elite, I’m here to provide expert guidance from start to finish, helping you make informed decisions with confidence.
