Cathy Jones Coburn never planned on a real estate career, yet today she is the quintessential Vail Valley real estate professional. During her 26 years selling mountain resort properties, she has consistently remained one of the region’s top producers. Cathy started her life in the mountains in 1974, when she headed to Copper Mountain Resort, and soon secured a marketing position working alongside such future Vail Resorts’ execs as Andy Daly and Kent Myers. Marketing and sales agreed with her. By the late 1970’s, she was managing Colorado’s Front Range marketing office of Keystone Resort, with responsibilities ranging from advertising for all Front Range television and radio to the overall marketing of the resort. In 1980, Cathy joined Keystone Real Estate in Keystone Resort and quickly became the company’s top producer. In 1986, she moved to Beaver Creek Resort and began selling first with Vail Associates Real Estate, then with Slifer Smith & Frampton, and stayed on after the 1994 merger of the two. Following the merger, Cathy was appointed Branch Broker of SSF’s Hyatt Office in Beaver Creek Resort. During her four years in that position, she was one of SSF’s top producers and the listing broker for major Beaver Creek developments including the recently offered Beaver Creek Landing. In 1998, Cathy relocated to SSF’s Bachelor Gulch Sales Office, where she became the listing broker for Bear Paw Lodge, Settler’s Lodge, Firelight Lodge and the Horizon Pass Townhomes. These properties represent a major portion of Bachelor Gulch’s multi-family developments, a total of ninety residences. Since moving to the Bachelor Gulch Sales Office (which is located in The Ritz-Carlton® Hotel) Cathy has the distinction of being the Bachelor Gulch office’s top producer for 7 of the past 8 years. Her sales record of a cumulative total of $630 million in the past 6 1/2 years certainly makes Cathy one of the top agents in the Vail Valley, if not the entire country. Cathy is known for high-end residential sales and was the listing agent for the two highest priced single family homes ever sold in the history of Beaver Creek Resort and Bachelor Gulch Village at $10,885,000 and $11,500,000 respectively in the spring of 2005. Cathy lives with her daughter, Lindsay, and her husband, Russ, at their residence in Horizon Pass Townhome in Bachelor Gulch Village. Her outside interests include traveling, golf, gardening, flying in their own plane and skiing (if the weather is nice). Her main enjoyment, other than activities with Lindsay and Russ, is the opportunity to sell real estate in the best place in the world and meet wonderful people and have friends from all walks of life.
