Angela Ashby,Prudential Steamboat Realty , Broker Associate, EcoBroker

About Angela:

Angela's love for Colorado began at the age of 10, when her family made the first ski trip to Colorado from Tulsa, OK. At a very young age, she committed to move to Colorado and did so in 1991. Moving from Denver, she feels as though she has reached her destination in Steamboat Springs. She now understands what others have called "The Yampa Valley Curse". She is excited to continue her sales career in this quickly changing real estate market and experience all of the great things that this community offers.

She has her BBA in marketing and advertising from the University of Oklahoma and has spent most of her career in sales and management. To enhance her real estate career and feed her passion, Angela received her EcoBroker certification in 2006, to be Steamboat's first. While she sells all types of real estate, this certification and her involvement in the local building community is a bonus to her clients. Her knowledge of energy-efficient and sustainable design continues to expand, as does the demand for those types of properties. In addition to her lengthy sales career, she has been involved in start-up companies including a local non-profit and loves the entrepreneurial spirit that is pervasive in Steamboat Springs. She consistently searches for innovations in marketing and strives to keep her clients up to date with her blog at www.yoursteamboathome.com/blog.

She is the Chair of the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council and has been integral in the start-up of this local non-profit that is focused on advancing sustainability initiatives in the region. She has written articles in HomeLinkmagazine and currently has a column called "Green Acres" in The Steamboat Local. Alpine skiing brought her to Colorado and is still her favorite winter sport, but recently has discovered mountain biking. Other interests include hiking 14ers, reading, cooking, art, interior design and giving back to the community.

Testimonials

What my clients say:

"Angela's dedication to getting the job done while keeping my best interest in mind were what allowed me to sell my townhome for asking price and find and purchase the home I wanted in 4 months. She provided the highest degree of customer service and professionalism with her attention to detail, accessibility and knowledge of the real estate market. Her in depth understanding of the buying/selling transactional process/paperwork saved me both money and time."

Angie Mangiardi

"Angela's knowledge of the Steamboat Springs area and real estate market was incredibly helpful. You were very patient and professional in leading our search for a new home. Your service prior to closing is only exceeded by your post closing follow up."

Stan and Jody Wagoner

"We worked with Angela for almost a year looking for the right condominium to purchase in Steamboat. After meeting in person while there on vacation in the summer of 2008, we corresponded regularly by email and telephone for the next 11 months looking at alternatives that Angela kept sending us. She grasped early on what we were looking for and was very patient with our inquisitive nature as we explored the pros and cons of the options being considered. Being out of state residents and working full time complicated the process for us but Angela was always there when we needed answers. When we visited a second time in May 2009, Angela took us to see a number of condo candidates, we made a decision and struck a deal which she helped negotiate with the developer. We can honestly say Angela went above and beyond to assist us, so we recommend her highly."
