New Owners and Associates at Colorado Group Realty

Posted by Colorado Group Realty on Monday, June 14th, 2010 at 1:43pm.

Dean Laird and Eliese Pivarnik are the newest broker/owners at Colorado Group Realty, Steamboat Springs’ largest independent real estate company. Gabriele Seide and Kelly Becker have joined as new associates.

Dean has worked in the real estate industry since 1996, in the resort markets of Columbia River Gorge, OR, Dillion, CO and now Steamboat Springs since 2001.

 

A Colorado native, Dean obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Technology with an engineering certification from Colorado State University.  His work history ranges from computer-aided design (CAD) and the boating industry to construction management. 

 

“The owners and associates at Colorado Group work well together sharing their knowledge and expertise as a group. We combine resources to offer the best services to our customers” said Laird. “My ski in/ski out office location at the Sheraton Resort is also a plus!”

 

Eliese and her family moved to Steamboat Springs in 2004 to take advantage of the Colorado mountain lifestyle.  She has worked in the Steamboat Springs real estate market since 2005.  She holds a degree in business management and a background in sales.

 “Dean and Eliese are two of our more tech savvy brokers and we couldn’t be more excited to have them join our ownership group” said Scott Wither, broker/owner and Board of Directors member. 

Gabby’s career in real estate began in Laguna Beach, CA in 1984 with Grubb & Ellis.  Most recently, Gabby worked with Old Town Realty in Steamboat.  She has been licensed in California, Colorado and Florida and Colorado over the years.  She also holds a degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management from Monterrey Community College. 

 

Gabby and her husband Gabe moved to Steamboat Springs in 1987, fulfilling a dream of living in a ski resort and building a log home. Together they started Montana Log Homes of Colorado.  They have built over 90 log homes to date in Steamboat Springs and the surrounding area and beyond, employing 12 people.  Homes built by Montana Log Homes are often featured in Log Home Living and Log Home Timber magazines. 

 Kelly will be assisting Jim and Coleman Cook with their business in addition to working with her clients and listings.  Kelly brings extensive experience in sales and marketing that will translate very well into a real estate career.  Kelly and her husband, Frank, an architect, have teamed up on numerous spec home projects and investment real estate opportunities and as a result developed a keen eye for what sells in a given market.” said Coleman Cook.  Before receiving her real estate license, Kelly had a successful career in marketing and technology. Her professional history includes working at Smith Barney as a technology trainer and prior as a sports marketing director.  She mainly managed grass root marketing efforts for 21 affiliates.  Kelly holds a Business Degree in Marketing from University of Notre Dame and a Masters in Sports Marketing from University of Massachusetts/Amherst. 

Kelly, a Chicago native, moved with her family (husband Frank, Frank J., 9, Jack, 7, Anna, 3, Audrey and Brynn, 2) to Steamboat Springs in 2008. She sites the excellent schools, endless outdoor activities for all ages, perfect weather and direct flights to family and friends in the Midwest as main factors.

As part of Colorado Group Realty, Dean, Eliese, Gabby and Kelly’s professional services are backed by the company's fulltime support team and software systems. The brokerage has over 64 owner and associate brokers, a chief operating officer, a front office manager and marketing department, plus a network of over 450 real estate offices around the world.
