This is it…Our first blog ever

Welcome – We are nervous and excited! It seems like a big undertaking to open ourselves up, share our experiences, live our passions out loud for everyone, but its time! Here we go … (okay – truth be told Bonita will write this, but Mike will be helping feed content)

Mike and Bonita Hutchison. We are a team – we do almost everything together. We are married, we live together, we work together, we parent together, and we adventure together. Don’t get me wrong, we both have our own things too – I love meeting up with the girls for hiking, skiing, and lunch, and Mike enjoys golfing and skiing with the guys, but at the end of the day our passion lies with our family and quality time spent together.

We met in Joliet, Illinois, in the summer of 2002. We married and had two boys, Hugh and Hunter, while living in Illinois. In 2011, we knew our lives would be changing dramatically. The economy had crashed, and our oldest son was starting kindergarten, so we decided to move to one of our favorite vacation destinations, Park City, Utah – it was the best decision we ever made.

The reasons for our move were vast. Mike was an avid skier (I am now but didn’t learn until after we moved). The public schools were top-rated, and the overall lifestyle in Park City suited our personalities, relationship, and the quality of life we wanted to raise our family. There is no place we’d rather be. Today, Park City is our home, we’ve grown an amazing community of friends, and our life here is everything we dreamed it would be….even more.

Mike has spent most of his working life in real estate. He began his career purchasing investment properties for long term rental, then ventured into vacation rental and moved to commercial development. After moving to Park City, Mike stayed home to raise our youngest son and began selling residential real estate part-time. He quickly became passionate about Park City real estate, meeting new people, and sharing the ins and outs of our community. Today, Mike is full time in real estate and loving every second.

Upon moving to Utah, I resumed my career leading non-profits and serving the community. I had been helping Mike on the sidelines, developing market plans, formatting sales presentations, and building his business. In 2018, I made the transition into real estate to assist Mike full-time, and today, we work in tandem to better serve clients.
