Joette Schalla

Joette has been a Colorado Broker Associate since 2004, most recently at Blue Cedar Realty. Her focus has always been land, working ranches, and mountain properties, closing over 180 transactions during her time at Blue Cedar. As a Realtor’s Land Institute member, she is working toward her Accredited Land Consultant certification. She understands the needs of specialized equine professionals, what it takes to operate a true working ranch, or even the outdoor sporting benefits of recreational mountain property.

Joette grew up on a cattle ranch in Calhan, Colorado. Her parents bought and sold properties a few times, expanding their agricultural operation and reinvesting into more productive properties. They worked hard to become stewards of the land, passing their children’s knowledge and values down. Over time, the education and dedication paid off and earned them a conservation award for their efforts. They used a 1031 Exchange to obtain a more extensive operation south of Fowler, Colorado. While her parents had their Calhan ranch listed, Joette got her first taste of real estate. Joette would assist with many tours, quickly learning the difference between agents who came prepared for their showings and those who leaned on her because they were winging it. This is where she got the bug to pursue real estate sales as a career.

Joette has vast equestrian experience. On the English side of things, she competed in dressage, cross country, and show-jumping events. Participating in the 4-H horse program, she competed in all Western and English riding classes, including showmanship, equitation, pleasure, speed events, trail, and reining. As a high school rodeo standout, she earned several state titles: Reserve Colorado State Breakaway Roper, Finals Average Champion in Women’s Cutting, and Women’s All-Around Champion finals. This earned her a trip to the National High School Rodeo Finals. To top off her illustrious high school career, the basketball team she played on won the 1999 2-A Colorado State Women’s Championship.
