Crissy Rumford in Lionshead Village, Vail, Co.

I grew up in the Denver area and have been fortunate to live in many wonderful places; Nashville, Tennessee, Independence, Kansas, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Los Angeles, Ca. and Rome, Italy. While attending Belmont University in Nashville, Tn. an internship at Warner Brothers Music jump-started my career in the music and film industries in Nashville and LA. I thoroughly enjoyed my work in the Arts, but love of the Rocky Mountains lured me back to Colorado in 1989, where I fulfilled the stereotype of meeting my husband on the slopes. To this day, it’s not unusual to find us enjoying a family powder day with our daughter, skiing somewhere in the world.

I have concentrated on building my Real Estate business over the past 20 years in one of the most beautiful and unique markets in the world. I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to work with incredible, inspiring people, including my clients and co-workers. As a Realtor, my job revolves around ‘the sales process,’ but assisting Buyers and Sellers in a basic transaction is more than that-It’s finding the place where all parties are content with the outcome. I’ve been told that my most valuable skill is the ability to truly LISTEN to my clients, interpret how those wishes translate to property, and follow up with a perfect match. For Buyers, I keep in mind their first and most essential comments. And for Sellers, I set the ideal stage for Buyers to walk into a Listing and instantly feel at home.

My passion for the Real Estate industry has been fulfilled through volunteerism over the past 8 years. In 2018, I was appointed as Chair of the Vail Board of Realtors (VBR,) and was proud to represent our 600+ members on the Local, State and National level. I am honored to be an appointed committee member for the National Association of Realtors in 2019, 2022 and 2023 and have been elected by my peers to the position of Mountain District Vice President-elect for 2024 for the Colorado Association of Realtors. I am currently serving my third term as RPAC Chair for the Vail Board of Realtors. The experience I’ve gained through attending National Association of Realtors conferences with 15,000+ Realtor members, has given me global perspective as well as contacts in every corner of the world, which makes it seem just a little bit smaller.
