Woosa Properties Brings Veteran-Led Relocation Guidance to Southwest Colorado Buyers
Sep 9, 2026
Navy veteran Jon Burden, REALTOR® with The Core Home Team at HomeSmart, pairs regional knowledge with a growing library of educational resources to help relocating families understand Durango-area communities and rural property ownership before they ever make an offer.
Durango, Colorado, United States , September 9, 2026 -- Buying a home in Southwest Colorado rarely comes down to the house itself. Rural listings introduce private wells, septic systems, shared driveways, acreage maintenance, and HOA covenants into a conversation most buyers have never had before, and for families arriving from out of state, those details are nearly impossible to evaluate from a thousand miles away.
Woosa Properties is expanding the veteran-led relocation service it built around that gap. Jon Burden, REALTOR® and founder of Woosa Properties, works as part of The Core Home Team, brokered by HomeSmart, and has structured his practice so that the education begins long before a buyer books a flight.
"Most of my clients aren't just choosing between two houses. They're choosing between towns, school districts, water rights, and commutes they've never driven," Burden said. "The more of that we can work through before they land, the better decisions they make once they're here."
Burden served in the U.S. Navy from 2009 through 2013 aboard the USS Decatur, where he was the ship's Search and Rescue swimmer after training as a BUD/S (SEAL) candidate. He earned his real estate license in 2017, founded Woosa Properties in 2019, and has since surpassed $100 million in career production.
A significant share of that volume comes from relocation buyers, many of them arriving from Texas. Over the past three years, Woosa Properties has helped roughly 50 families move to the region, working across Durango, Bayfield, Hesperus, Mancos, Pagosa Springs, and the surrounding communities.
Much of the groundwork happens before anyone tours a property. A family considering acreage outside Durango may be weighing well and septic ownership for the first time, while another buyer might be trying to understand how a smaller outlying town compares with Durango itself on price, drive time, and daily life.
Woosa Properties supports that early research through its "Living in Durango Colorado" YouTube channel. Launched in 2023, the channel now holds more than 120 long-form videos and draws roughly 6,000 views and 600 watch hours a month, with two new videos published each week.
Coverage ranges from individual neighborhoods and subdivisions to cost-of-living comparisons, rural property considerations, and the practical questions that come up repeatedly during a move. Many of those videos are adapted into website landing pages and downloadable guides, giving prospective residents a way to arrive with specific questions rather than general ones.
Burden's connection to the region predates his real estate career. He grew up in Santa Fe and Peralta, New Mexico, and spent much of his childhood traveling Northern New Mexico with his family to fly fish the rivers around Santa Fe.
He now lives in Durango with his wife and two sons, and spends his time outside of work fly fishing, hunting, running, mountain biking, camping, and competing in strongman. He also serves at local churches, including The River Church and Durango Vineyard.
For Woosa Properties, the veteran-led approach comes down to preparation. Each relocation surfaces questions that the next family is likely to face, and feedback from buyers who have already made the move continues to shape the educational content the team produces.
About the company: Woosa Properties is a Durango-based real estate team serving Southwest Colorado, founded by U.S. Navy veteran Jon Burden, REALTOR®, and operating as part of The Core Home Team, brokered by HomeSmart. The team specializes in relocation, acreage, and lifestyle properties, drawing on local experience, educational video, and detailed regional resources to guide buyers moving to the Four Corners.

Samsung, SK hynix shareholder return policies in focus ahead of Q3 earnings
Shareholder return policies of Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are gaining market attention ahead of their announcements for third-quarter earnings, as investors see them as a key way to address the mismatch between the chipmakers' record-breaking profits and their sluggish share prices. Samsung Electronics is set to announce its three-month financial results during its earnings call on Thursday, while SK hynix said it will announce its results on its earnings call on Wednesday. Earnings are expected to be exceptionally strong, as surging demand for memory chips and continued supply bottlenecks have driven up average selling prices across the memory chip market. In its earnings guidance released Oct. 8, Samsung Electronics estimated third-quarter revenue of 195 trillion won ($146.96 billion) and operating profit of 107.4 trillion won. If realized, the company will become the first Korean company to surpass 100 trillion won in quarterly operating profit. SK hynix is expected to post 98.23 trillion won in revenue and 76.96 trillion won in operating profit during the same period, according

Two part-timers and one AI orchestrator: Inside a Dubai conference on “The Breaking Point” — Part 1
Most conferences are built the same way. A committee brainstorms a theme, a team chases speakers, a designer lays out a program, and everyone hopes the real value happens in the corridors. Three days in Dubai this October worked differently.

Ailytics bags US$7.4M Series A to make old CCTV cameras earn their keep
Most industrial CCTV cameras lead a thankless life. They record everything, are watched by almost no one, and only become important after something has gone wrong, when their footage turns into evidence rather than prevention. Singapore-based Ailytics has built a business on reversing that order. The vision AI startup has raised US$7.4 million in an […] The post Ailytics bags US$7.4M Series A to make old CCTV cameras earn their keep appeared first on e27.

Founders are buying gold, not Lamborghinis, after the exit
A running joke in Singapore’s startup circles holds that a founder’s net worth exists only in two places: the cap table and the LinkedIn bio. For most of Southeast Asia’s entrepreneurs, the joke still lands.

China shoots ahead on AI video models
While few dispute that China is narrowing the gap with the United States in developing artificial intelligence (AI) models, there is one area where Chinese firms are already the undisputed leaders: video. China has seen a proliferation of advanced generative AI video models – systems trained on visual data to generate or edit video content based on user inputs such as text prompts, images and audio. The country’s vast short-video ecosystems and looser copyright rules have helped give Chinese...
Thirty climate tech startups in Southeast Asia that would rather build than pledge
Southeast Asia has a talent for making climate pledges sound like wedding vows: grand, emotional and frequently broken. Net-zero deadlines stretch to 2050 and beyond, yet coal still dominates several national grids, petrol motorbikes still choke the cities and mangroves still vanish faster than ministers can name them. Into that gap has stepped a scrappy […] The post Thirty climate tech startups in Southeast Asia that would rather build than pledge appeared first on e27.
