About Tellwater & Co., an independent brokerage since 1987
Tellwater & Co. started in 1987 with two agents and a borrowed desk above the hardware store on Front Street.
The ski hill had three lifts then, and most sales in the valley were ranch ground. We've grown with the place. There are 40 of us now, working four neighborhoods from one office, a few doors from where we began. We've stayed independent the whole time, with no franchise, no parent company and no call center. Decisions get made by people who live here, and the owner still reads every contract.
What we sell hasn't changed much. It's knowing which road, which well and which side of the river, and telling you before you have to ask.
40 agents, 4 neighborhoods and 1 office, at 112 Front Street. Owned locally: Marguerite Tso, owner and supervising broker since 2015.
How we work
One neighborhood per agent.
You talk to someone who drives your road in January.
The hard facts first.
Wells, water rights, dues, flood maps and wiring come up before the tour.
A person answers.
The front desk picks up, and notes are read the morning they arrive.
The quickest way to know us is to ask one of us a question about a road.
