After a bit of sweat, sore knees, 30-degree temperatures (in September), hat and goggles, and a heaping helping of sunshine, I proudly stood atop the summit of Mount Shavano in Colorado at 14,229 feet. I was pretty excited and the views were, not surprisingly, breathtaking (as was the lack of oxygen).

Hiking any summit and, going along with our topic today, doing anything worth doing, takes a bit of preparation, planning and perseverance. Having been through the purchase and sale of a couple homes in my past, I’d like to offer a few items to keep on your checklist as you head down the road towards the closing table.
