Broker/Owner
Todd serves as broker/owner, and has deliberately built United Country Sneffels Realty to offer real estate services throughout a wide region. Todd entered real estate in 2002 with the plan to be only part time, but the real estate opportunities became great. He immediately loved working with United Country’s team of over 500 offices. Initially he worked under another United Country broker, but after a series of years where he earned top ten status among all United Country agents nationwide, purchased his office in 2007 and renamed it Sneffels Realty after the 14,000 foot peak that is the primary focus of our valley. The success of his office has continued to grow, and he has built Sneffels Realty into the top producing Ouray County office each year since 2011.
