The nearby Cache la Poudre River got its name from French-speaking trappers that were in the area. They were caught in an early snow storm and dug a hole to store some of their supplies until they could come back and get them.

So Cache la Poudre basically means
"to hide the powder."

Community:

Northern Colorado is the heart of the Rocky Mountains and draws a diverse group of people that live here for the lifestyle and quality of life the Front Range affords. The agents at RE/MAX Advanced are fortunate to work and play in a community that is as interesting as it is diverse. As the core cities of northern Colorado grow, including Fort Collins, Greeley, and Loveland, we have managed to retain a quaint charm that is reflected in buildings dating back to the 1800’s.

And so it is. Some 100 years later, we have managed to grow to more than a one horse town. As such, the RE/MAX team believes that being a part of a truly vibrant community is a two-way street. Our real estate professionals are actively involved in many community service organizations. Moreover, we strive to hire people who care, and we will continue to find creative ways to make our community a better place to live.

Following is a sample of some of the local organizations our team supports:

Better Business Bureau

Children's Miracle Network

Crossroads Safehouse

Food Bank for Larimer County

Fort Collins Board of Realtors

Habitat for Humanity

Harmony House

Home Builders Association

Larimer Center for Mental Health

National Multiple Sclerosis Society
