Todd's Story
After living in Pennsylvania, Germany, Virginia, New Mexico, Boston, D.C., Tokyo, traveling for a year and finally moving to Summit County in 2005, this is the longest I have lived anywhere. Part of the goal in moving to the mountains was to grow roots and become part of a community. I feel like I am finally "home“, and I plan to be a part of this community for the rest of my life.
I bring a vast and diverse background to my real estate practice in Summit County. After graduating with a degree in Economics from the University of Virginia, I served in the Air Force for 5 years, earning my MBA at night. I then spent 6 years doing Business Development in Northern Virginia, Tokyo, Japan and Seattle, Washington for UUNET, the first commercial internet service provider, expanding operations into South America and Asia. In Seattle, I focused on growing business within several FORTUNE 500 global accounts. After taking a year off to travel and learn how to make wine, my wife, Barb and I decided to shorten our commute to the mountains and moved to Summit County to spend more time around mountains, snow and family.
I have sold real estate in the mountains for almost two decades and have been a part of and led a team that has been involved in over 1000 transactions and more than a half a Billion in sales in that time. In launching our own company back in 2009, we have focused on growing our business one great relationship at a time. My agenda is to help you achieve your goals and to achieve outstanding results for you through phenomenal marketing. In addition to marketing, my expertise involves getting large groups of people (buyers, sellers, other brokers, lenders, appraisers, inspectors, etc...), often with different agendas, working towards and achieving a common goal. In addition to residential sales, I have been fortunate to have launched and sold out 12 phases of new development including the Alders at Keystone, an 89-unit, $70 Million project; The Cabins at the Overlook which was a 12 unit, $18.96 Million project and Smith Ranch which totalled 214 sales and $89M.
I am passionate about teamwork, leadership, positive energy and mindset. Giving back to this community that I call home is also a passion of mine. We proudly support the Summit Foundation, Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center,
Summit Youth Hockey, and other local charities. Barb and I launched SkatesGiving to drive funds to Summit Youth Hockey. As of 2024, it had pumped over $250k into Mountain Hockey programs from Durango to Breck. I am thankful to have been elected to the Breckenridge Town Council in 2022. I have chaired the Breckenridge Events Committee from 2018 - 2021, Chaired the Isak Heartstone Troll Committee, been a member of the Summit County Open Space Advisory Council for nine years starting in February 2013; serving as Vice Chair for 3 years, and a member of the governor appointed 5th Judicial District Nominating Commission from 2016 - 2021.
When not working, I am a big fan of long mountain bike rides in the Golden Horseshoe, ski touring from the Laurium, playing hockey and lingering at the Grace. Thank you to all the previous clients that have helped us get to where we are today. Hopefully, you are part of our success in the future. My team and I look forward to helping you achieve your real estate goals in the mountains!
Sincerely,
Todd Rankin
Here is what my clients have to say about working with me...
"Todd and his team helped our family find the perfect vacation home in Summit County. He was cool as a cucumber through the entire process even as we had to move the closing date a couple times. He even went digging around the property through the snow looking for the access point to the septic tank. If you need someone who's willing to pick up a shovel for you and a local who knows all the ins and outs, look no further." - Kori, 2018
"Todd is a superb real estate professional. He represented us when we bought our beautiful home in Wildernest a few years back. From identifying potential properties though the closing--he teamed with us, drove the deal towards completion and was a true pleasure to work with throughout!" - Dan, 2016
"Todd is AWESOME!! He helped us sell a rental property when family obligations (2 kids under 2) made being a landlord too much. We had several buyers fall through due to their financing. Todd communicated with us throughout the entire process and was always available if I had questions. His expertise, experience, and calm demeanor made even stressful situations seem smooth. Todd doesn't just list a property he sells his listings. I 100% attribute our sale to Todd's efforts to find a buyer and make a deal work. If you need Real Estate help call him, I'm positive you'll see that he is 5 star across the board." -Blaze, 2015
