Founded in 1981 by T.D. Smith and Telluride Ski & Golf Corporation founding chairman Ron Allred, the Telluride Real Estate Corporation was initially focused on marketing the mid-mountain resort next to the fledgling ski area that would become the Town of Mountain Village. In 1992, five partners, each early investors in, and long-time members of, the Telluride community - Smith, Don McLean, Dave Flatt, Steve Catsman and Steve Hilbert - purchased the ski company's shareholder interest. Buzz Fedorka was brought on as a managing director in 2003, completing the brokerage's current leadership. Throughout the nearly 25 years as an established real estate firm in the Telluride region, TREC has steadily continued to expand grow.
Telluride Real Estate Corporation is the Telluride region's largest and most experienced real estate brokerage, with a team that includes more than 40 licensed brokers, assistants and staff members, as well as six offices in prime locations throughout three counties of southwestern Colorado. In addition to our newly remodeled flagship office located in the historic Examiner Building in the heart of downtown Tellurise, TREC brokers and assistants are also located in Mountain Village, on busy Heritage Plaza in the Village Core, and in an office suite in the upscale Mountain Lodge. Recently, TREC brought on two more locations to serve customers, opening a new satellite office in Rico's historic main street and teaming with the Ridgway Real Estate Coporation with offices in downtown Ridgway.
Each year, TREC gives back to the Telluride community by contributing thousands of dollars to its special area of philanthropy: the youth. Through its focus on children, TREC supports various educational, athletic and social programs for students in the Telluride and Norwood communities. TREC contributes to everything from soccer clubs to after-prom parties and provides annual college scholarships to deserving and outstanding local graduates. In addition, many individual TREC brokers contribute to a community-wide First Time Homebuyers Assistance Program facilitated by the Telluride Associate of Realtors, which helps new homeowners sink roots into the Telluride Community by assisting with down payments and closing costs.
