SUPPORT ORGANIZATION / TELLURIDE REAL ESTATE CORP. PROFILE
Telluride Real Estate Corp. was founded in 1981 by T.D. Smith and Ronald D. Allred, Chairman of the Board of the Telluride Ski and Golf Company, the developer of The Telluride Mountain Village. Initially, its primary focus was to market the master developer’s land product in the new 2,500 unit mid-mountain development. From 1984 to 1993, Telluride Real Estate Corp. marketed in excess of $300,000,000 in land sales.
Its primary focus over the years has been representation of significant landholders, developers and owners of high-end residential and commercial properties. Its staff consists of over 45 real estate brokers and administrative staff members. The key characteristic of its staff is longevity in the trade with half the staff having at least 20 years of experience.
TREC has been the undeniable leader in real estate sales in San Miguel County for the past 30 years. Within this brokerage, there are many relationships with individuals who have spheres of influence with Fortune 500 companies, investment banking firms, hedge fund managers, venture capitalists and the entertainment industry.
TREC maintains three prime, high traffic office locations. We are located in our new, prime building on Colorado Avenue (Main Street) in Historic Telluride, on the Heritage Plaza, adjacent to the gondola in the Telluride Mountain Village, and in the lobby of the Mountain Lodge Telluride.
