Meet Sara


 

Born and raised in Basalt, I grew up as a local in the Roaring Fork Valley. I went through the Basalt school system and graduated as my class’ valedictorian. I then earned a B.S. degree in Creative Writing from Bucknell University in Pennyslvania. After college, I spent a year living abroad in Mount Maunganui and Wanaka, New Zealand before returning home to pursue a career in marketing. Prior to real estate sales, I served as the sales and marketing manager at the Roaring Fork Club in Basalt and then the marketing director at Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty until 2018. I was a full-time broker associate with ASSIR for 8 and a half years before joining the Luxury Division at eXp Realty in the Fall of 2025.

I focus on residential real estate home and land sales from Old Snowmass to New Castle. I produce the Mid-Valley Market Report twice a year. It provides home sales history in Basalt, Missouri Heights, Carbondale and the Crystal Valley from 2004 to the present. I am known to be detailed and thorough, anticipating the needs of my clients from a seasoned customer service oriented perspective. My philosophy with clients is personal, proactive and professional - as it should be!

I am am hard of hearing - I was diagnosed with a moderate-to-severe hearing loss at age two. I have an 80% hearing loss, which means that I need to wear hearing aids to hear normally. I love to share my story and learn about other people's hearing loss and hearing aids - ask me about it any time!

Like visitors and new homeowners in the Aspen area, I try to spend as much time as possible outdoors with my daughter Ayla and our dog June. We spend our weekends snowboarding/skiing, hiking, fishing, camping, rafting, paddleboarding and sitting lakeside. I ran my first half-marathon down the Frying Pan River in June 2022. I also just completed an online MBA with a concentration in marketing in the Spring of 2023.
