Recognized for Luxury Real Estate in Western Colorado
Building a luxury brokerage in the mountains
To date, I've closed 92 sales totaling $46.6 million across the Gunnison Valley and Western Colorado. From the start, my goal with Crystal Peak Properties was a boutique luxury brokerage: fewer clients, more attention, and marketing that matches the caliber of the homes I represent.
I'm honored that the work has been recognized. Gunnison Country Times readers voted me Best Realtor in the People's Choice Awards in 2023 and again in 2025. My clients have left more than 90 Google reviews, nearly all of them five stars. As Broker/Owner, I serve buyers and sellers in Gunnison, Crested Butte, Lake City, Montrose and the mountain communities in between.
What luxury means to me
Luxury real estate is about more than a price tag. It's a standard of service: polished preparation, high-end marketing, constant communication, and someone handling the details so the sale feels effortless. That's the experience I bring to every high-end mountain property I represent.
Recent luxury sales:
- 17 Wild Goose Lane, Gunnison (4 bd · 4 ba · 2,647 sq ft): sold for $1,200,000 in April 2025
- 405 S Taylor Street, Gunnison (3 bd · 3 ba · 2,322 sq ft): sold for $950,000 in April 2026
What my clients say
The reviews mean more to me than any award. A couple that stuck with me:
"From beginning to end, and even after closing, Kelsey communicated frequently, kept us on track, and checked in on us."
— Reilly S., Google review
Robert M., who sold a home in Cobble Creek in Montrose, called the process "almost effortless."
— Google review
Luxury marketing on every listing
Luxury buyers are often shopping from out of state, so every listing gets a premium marketing plan built to reach them wherever they're searching:
- Professional photography and cinematic listing videos
- Drone imaging that shows off the land, views and location
- Digital walk-throughs so out-of-town buyers can tour from anywhere
- Social media campaigns and targeted digital advertising
- Dedicated listing pages and strategic online exposure
Beyond marketing, I coordinate the details that keep a sale on track: showings, inspections, local vendors and clear communication every step of the way.
Local roots, regional reach
My family moved to Colorado nearly a decade ago, and this valley has been home ever since. When I'm not showing homes, you'll find me skiing, mountain biking or hiking with my kids.
Living here is what lets me give clients an honest, insider view of each town, neighborhood and property. From Crested Butte to Lake City to Montrose, I know these mountain communities because they're my community too.
Let's talk
Thinking about buying or selling a luxury mountain property in Western Colorado? I'd love to show you what a boutique, high-touch experience looks like.
