Local Roots. Honest Guidance. Real Results.
Your Roaring Fork Valley Real Estate Partners
Sam Pickus
Broker Associate | eXp Realty
My connection to the Roaring Fork Valley didn’t start when I got my license. My family’s roots stretch back to the late 1970s, long before I ever called it home full time. Growing up visiting this valley, then choosing to plant myself here for over a decade, means I understand these communities the way only a local can. The mountains, the rivers, the towns, the people, this isn’t just where I work. It’s where I live.
As a licensed REALTOR with eXp Realty, I work with buyers, sellers, investors, and second home seekers across Aspen, Snowmass, and the entire Roaring Fork Valley. Part of Jeff Kelley’s team means my clients get decades of combined local expertise behind every transaction.
Honest guidance, no pressure, real results.
