Sharing the Vail lifestyle while helping his clients pursue their Colorado dream is one of Led\'s favorite pastimes. It is also the reason that many of his clients become good friends. and many of his friends become clients!Led first made a part-time move to Vail 35 years ago, in February of 1989, and enjoyed spending substantial time in Colorado over the ensuing years. Moving to the Vail Valley full time in 1998, he quickly established a successful reputation in Vail\'s luxury real estate market. After a decade of success as both broker and lead partner in smaller, boutique firms, Led\'s desire to best serve his clients ultimately led him to the flagship 230 Bridge Street/Vail Village office of Slifer, Smith & Frampton. Led\'s tenure with SSF has proved fruitful, resulting in numerous accolades within the company. Included are the #1 broker on his team, consistent Top 5, 10 and 20 rankings amongst the company\'s 140+ brokers in Eagle County, and recipient of the company\'s cherished Brokers Choice Award (three times) and Standards of Excellence Award (twice), both of which are voted on by his peers.This track record of success led to his being hired as the Branch Broker/Manager of his top-producing team in 2015, where Led served a talented group of 25 brokers and a half dozen staff for seven years, while continuing to broker the sale of resort property. Now retired from his management role, Led enjoys focusing 100% on serving the needs of his long-time clientele. along with a few more days on his bikes and skis!Now in his mid-60s (gulp!) Led is most grateful for his life in Vail. Connie, Led\'s \"Colorado Dream Girl\" of 34 years, shares his passion for the multitude of activities that surround them, with skiing and biking at the top of their list. Son Chase is soon returning to Vail to go to work with Led full time, a source of pride and excitement for the family!
