Navigate Your Move Your Aspen Relocation Guide

If you’re relocating to Aspen/Snowmass, welcome! I created a relocation guide to help ease the transition as you make our beautiful valley your new home.

Life in the Roaring Fork Valley

The valley stretches from Aspen down through Snowmass Village, Basalt, and Carbondale — each community with its own character and price point. Whether you’re looking for ski-in/ski-out access, a quieter mountain town with room to breathe, or something in between, there’s a place for you here.

About Aspen

Aspen, Colorado sits at 8,000 feet in elevation and is home to roughly 7,000 full-time residents — though its population swells considerably during ski season and summer. Surrounded by the White River National Forest, the Elk Mountains, and the iconic Maroon Bells, Aspen offers world-class skiing across four mountains: Aspen, Snowmass, Buttermilk, and Aspen Highlands. Beyond the slopes, the valley is known for some of the best outdoor recreation, dining, and cultural programming in the country.

Success Stories Testimonials

As first-time homebuyers, we had many questions and needed extra hand-holding navigating the competitive Carbondale market. Jordie was incredibly patient with us, constantly jumping on the phone and making herself available for whatever we needed. Her top-notch negotiation skills secured us a house well under the listing price. After the house was under contract, she referred us to her contacts in the area and continued to be on top of every detail! We cannot recommend her enough. Thanks for everything, Jordie!

– Safari W.

Jordie was more than a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond what I expected helped me every step of the way outside the scope of just selling the property. Her knowledge of the community, her connections with vendors and inspectors, her patience with my millions of questions! I feel so grateful for her support, professionalism and expertise navigating this process.

– Beth

Jordie was truly incredible to work with. As first-time home buyers, we felt extremely supported throughout the whole experience by Jordie. She was extremely knowledgeable about the process and made sure we were getting all the support we needed to make the right decision. When we went under contract, she was supportive, patient, and helpful as we worked through each step to closing. I would highly recommend working with Jordie!
