Sixteen years representing the mountain's most distinctive homes

About

For sixteen years I've represented a deliberately small roster of homes across Vail, Beaver Creek, and Bachelor Gulch — advising sellers who value discretion as much as outcome, and buyers who already know what a mountain home should feel like.

My practice centers on off-market advisement and private valuations: quiet conversations between sellers weighing their options and buyers who aren't waiting for a public listing to make a decision.

Fluent in every micro-market

Vail Village, Beaver Creek, Bachelor Gulch, Arrowhead, EagleVail, Cordillera, Lionshead, Red Sky Ranch — each with its own rhythm, comps, and buyer pool. I track them street by street, not by zip code.

Dane found us an off-market property in Cordillera before it ever reached the MLS — patient, thorough, exactly what discretion should look like.
