Ten Years and Counting

Tracy Sutton Aspen Signature Properties was formally created on October 25, 2004.  I had been in real estate, property management, hospitality and vacation rental brokering for close to 20 years by this time with a tremendous amount of repeat business, having earned the trust of Aspen homeowners and direct rental clients already. Owning my own business became important to me when I realized that the corporate box companies that were servicing Aspen homeowners who requested personalized treatment of their homes and guests who wanted a personalized experience from their vacation were not listening or providing this important aspect of Hospitality in our high end resorts.  You can't fit a square peg into a round hole.  It was evident that I had an opportunity to offer an amazing service to both homeowners and luxury vacation renters. 

 

During this past decade, my business has grown to include 7 associate brokers and 2 office assistants.  Even with the recession and reduction of high end luxury vacation travel between the dates of 2008 and 2011, I maintained two office locations in Aspen and continued to grow the business by offering the best customer service possible to every client who booked with us.  With the increase in on-line and web-based vacation rental booking sites, we have maintained a strong business because ultimately travelers want to know they have someone to greet them upon arrival, be a local contact during their rental period, assist with pre-arrival details of their trip, and assure the guest that the residence they are renting is well-cared for and maintained to the standards they are accustomed in their own home.  The value in booking with an accredited vacation rental specialist is priceless. 

 

The next few years will bring increased competition from both web-based booking sites and local businesses trying to vie for a niche in the luxury vacation rental market.  It is my continued priority to see Aspen Signature Properties at the top of every search engine, every travel agency and every referral company list as the go-to vacation rental brokerage for clients coming to the Aspen and Snowmass Village resort areas by providing exceptional customer service.

Biking to the Monastery and then back around to the other side by the Deaf Camp is so peaceful, and  to ride alongside the beautiful ranches with the snow capped mountains in the distance is breathtaking.  This is my Colorado!
