Susan Carriero Plummer, Aspen luxury real estate specialist, Christie's International Real Estate Aspen Snowmass

Aspen, from the INSIDE.

Aspen covers 3.5 square miles and has roughly 7,500 full-time residents and four ski areas, which works out to MANY more chairlifts than traffic lights. It’s small enough that everyone knows your dog’s name. Your gondola-mate could be a billionaire, a Nobel laureate or the middle school principal. Be nice to all three. The principal has the most pull.

Many of Aspen’s best homes never reach the MLS. They change hands over dinner, sometimes before dessert, between brokers whose clients trust them. Those deals go to brokers who know the owners of Aspen’s luxury homes personally. As I do.

In Aspen, the best properties are not always publicly available. The best intel almost never is.

After decades in this community, I know which streets hold value, which remodels are overpriced, and who lives next door, including whether they throw parties. I also know where to park during ArtCrush. I call it Aspen Intel, and it comes with my white glove service for every client. Gloves included.

It has kept me among Aspen’s top-performing agents nearly every year since 2015. My clients tell it better on my testimonials page, or you can scroll down and listen in.

Whether you’re buying, selling or just curious what your place is worth, call anytime. I’ve been known to answer from the chairlift.

Aspen INTEL · The Insider

Questions, Answered

Who is Susan Plummer, Aspen?

I'm a luxury real estate broker with Christie's International Real Estate Aspen Snowmass, and I've called Aspen home since 1989. I know this valley the way only a local can — the neighborhoods, the new restaurants, the quiet pockets most people never find. I'm also the founder of Aspen INTEL, my insider guide to living and buying here.

Why would I want to work with her?

Because I treat your move like it's my own — white-glove attention from the first showing to the closing table, and access to off-market and pocket listings you won't find on the public sites. Local knowledge since 1989 — you can't Google this.

What's her experience?

I've been a licensed Realtor since 2015. I was formerly with Coldwell Banker Mason Morse, where I ranked in the top 0.01% of Coldwell Banker brokers worldwide — and I'm now with Christie's International Real Estate, holding its Masters Circle designation. Add life in this valley since 1989, and you get the credentials and the local instinct.

What brokerage is she with?

Christie's International Real Estate Aspen Snowmass. The Christie's name carries real weight with luxury buyers and sellers worldwide, and it connects your property to a global network of qualified clients.

What areas does she cover?

Aspen and Snowmass are home base, and I work throughout the Roaring Fork Valley — Old Snowmass, Woody Creek, Basalt, and Carbondale. I know these neighborhoods block by block: where the morning light lands, which streets stay quiet, and where the value is hiding.

What is Aspen INTEL?

Aspen INTEL is my insider platform — a newsletter and set of local guides covering Aspen and Snowmass real estate, dining, music, and culture. It's the stuff a listing site can't give you: what's opening, what's worth it, and what's really happening in the market. Think of me as your person on the inside.
