Our Beginnings

Founded in 1981 by T.D. Smith and Telluride Ski and 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 managing director in 2003, completing the brokerage’s current leadership. 

Throughout our nearly 25 years as an established real estate firm in the Telluride region, TREC has steadily continued to expand and grow.  Today, more than 40 broker associates complete transactions with a wide breadth of experience and extensive range of property listings, making TREC the Telluride region’s most well-connected team.
