Steven formed SDS Real Estate, Inc. in 1994, as a boutique real estate office and ultimately expanded it in 2008 to a mid-sized firm with twenty two brokers and a ground floor corner location in downtown Aspen.  He has been among the most productive members of the Aspen Board of Realtors® with sales dollar volume putting him in the top 3 percent of brokers for 2008; ranked number four in 2009 and in the top four brokers in 2010. He specializes in luxury residential properties and brought the buyer in a $31.5mm transaction representing Aspen’s largest sale this year.

Steven’s strong belief in the Aspen marketplace is apparent in his investments in residential and commercial real estate. In addition to his own home in Old Snowmass, Steven has developed and sold a 5,000 square foot spec home, is an investor in three different premier commercial buildings located in downtown Aspen, and owns an income producing condominium in Aspen’s West End.

Outside of work, you can find him snowboarding, mountain and road biking, hiking, running, and working out. His greatest enjoyment, though, is spending time with his ten year old daughter, Tatum, new baby daughter Remi and wife, Clare. He is involved in a variety of charities including a national charity for finding a cure for epilepsy and seizures.

Steven especially likes interacting with clients and his broker associates and enjoys the opportunity to use his business acumen and creativity in matching clients to a well suited property and ultimately figuring out how to close the transaction. His clients appreciate that he is readily available and that he streamlines the buying and selling process for them by having greater understanding of the market nuances.
