In Anne-Britt's Words
From the San Juan Islands to the San Juan Mountains
I grew up in Bellingham, Washington, spending summers sailing the San Juan Islands and the fjords of Canada with my family. Those years taught me to read weather, respect wild places and value the people in the boat with you. In 1997 I moved to the other San Juans, the mountains, because I wanted to live in them, not just visit.
Winters were for Mt. Baker. We drove more than an hour each way every Saturday and Sunday, and my family never missed a day if we could help it. I went on to teach skiing at Mt. Baker and later at Jackson Hole.
I studied accounting, business and finance at Fort Lewis College in Durango, then spent eight years in Silverton. My real estate career began in the Purgatory and Silverton markets. Ouray and Ridgway became my playground for hiking, hot springs and long weekends. In 2012 I moved to Telluride and founded Mountain Rose Realty.
Since then I've lived in downtown Telluride, the Hillside neighborhood, the Ski Ranches, the edge of Mountain Village and now Aldasoro. I know these neighborhoods because I've lived in them, through snow removal, mud season and all.
Skiing stayed at the center of our family. My two daughters grew up competing, one in alpine racing and the other in big mountain freeskiing, and following them took us to mountain towns across the West. Between their seasons and my own, I've spent real time in Crested Butte, Sun Valley, Jackson Hole, Aspen, Vail, Big Sky, Park City, Alta and Snowbird, and more. If you're deciding between mountain towns, I can tell you honestly how they compare. When I'm not working, I'm hiking, mountain biking, climbing, in the garden, or with my family.
That's why I stayed independent. My clients work with me, from the first conversation to long after the keys change hands.
Small by Choice. Exceptional by Standard.
Why Independent
I chose to be independent so I could give my clients the one thing a large brokerage can't: me. Your search, your sale and your privacy are handled personally, by me, from the first conversation through the closing and for as long as you own the home. Discerning clients know it's the experience, the privacy and the relationship that matter, not the brand.
Freedom to curate
Every marketing plan, showing schedule and negotiation is built for the person in front of me, not pulled from a template designed for volume.
One point of accountability
The person who earns your trust is the person who does the work. No handoffs to a junior agent, no call center, no rotating team.
Advice without a quota
Nobody above me needs this deal to close this month. If a property is wrong for you, I will tell you, even when that means we keep looking.
Global reach, local judgment
As a REALM Global Exclusive Member and CLHMS designee, I have a worldwide network of independent luxury brokers to draw on, paired with more than two decades of knowing these mountains one road at a time.
Your Privacy
Privacy: The Quiet Advantage
For high-net-worth buyers and sellers, privacy is not a perk. It is a requirement. The fewer people who touch your information, the fewer places it can travel. A small, principal-led brokerage keeps your circle small by design.
A short list of people who know
Your name, your plans and your numbers are shared only with the people who need them to get the job done.
Private showings, properly managed
Showings are scheduled, qualified and accompanied, so your home is seen by serious buyers, not curious traffic.
Comfortable with how you buy
Trusts, LLCs, family offices, attorneys and advisors are part of how this market works. I coordinate with your team quietly and on your timeline.
Start to Finish
Personal Care, Long After the Closing
Most of my clients live somewhere else for most of the year. They need someone here who treats their home and their time as if they were her own. That is the job.
Before you buy or list
I listen first: what this home needs to do for you, your timeline, and what a good outcome looks like. Then you get honest pricing, the real cost of ownership and a plan built around your life, not my calendar.
During the transaction
I personally handle showings and negotiations, and I manage the details that unravel deals from a distance: inspections, HOAs, title, insurance, contractors and the many small decisions in between. You will always know where things stand, and you will hear it from me.
At the closing table
Keys, utilities, access codes, trusted vendors and a home that is ready for your first weekend, not a to-do list waiting for you when you arrive.
After the close
A closing is the start of a long relationship. Snow removal, a plumber on a holiday weekend, a property manager, a designer, a builder: one call or text and I will point you to someone I trust. Each year I can also review what your home is worth and what the market is doing around it.
