Mark has nearly 30 years of experience in the Roaring Fork Valley real estate market and helped build one of the region’s leading real estate agencies along the way. He ultimately accepted an invitation to join Aspen Snowmass Sotheby’s International Realty in early 2019. He brings an unmatched level of expertise and a cache of knowledge to ASSIR along with an extensive list of loyal clients from long-time locals to avid ski town enthusiasts to second homeowners to investors. Families from all corners of the globe have engaged Mark to assist them sometimes with multiple transactions — even some outside of Colorado — and are prone to pass him down through multiple generations.
Throughout his four-plus decades as a valley resident he has owned properties in Aspen, Snowmass Village and Carbondale, which has provided him with valuable insight into the entire area as well as a broad and unique understanding of the numerous sub-markets.
“Mark is an outstanding realtor. We have bought and sold properties in Virginia, Washington DC, New Jersey, Georgia and Colorado. He is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with.”
Mark consistently ranks near the top in brokered transactions in a membership of almost 800 local, licensed realtors. He attributes such success to knowing the market, his strategic problem solving capabilities and his innate ability to read a room matched with his friendly, yet steadfast negotiation skills.
Mark is so well respected among his peers that in 2018, he was voted Realtor of the Year by the Aspen Board of Realtors (ABOR) — a prestigious award honoring an exceptional broker for deeds, service and spirit that advances the dignity of the profession. Mark is also a multi-time honoree as Aspen’s Favorite Realtor as presented in the Aspen Times’ annual “Best of Aspen” awards issue and voted on by the local populace. In 2021, Mark was recognized as one America’s Best and Top Real Estate Individuals in Colorado by REALTRENDS.
Known as “a broker’s broker,” Mark is an active member of ABOR where he has chaired the Professional Standards Grievance committee for many years and currently serves the ABOR membership as an Ombudsman. These respected, arduous positions are a testament to his integrity, as he oversees ethics and arbitration matters among members. In addition to being a member of the National Association of Realtors, the Colorado Association of Realtors and the Aspen Board of Realtors, Mark holds the industry's continued educational designations of RSPS (Resort and Second Home Property Specialist) and GRI (Graduate of the Realtor Institute).
“I did not have to think twice who I would contact when making the difficult deision to sell my home earlier this year. In my opinion, Mark Lewis is the most knowledgeable in the Aspen/Snowmass real estate market. Mark has my highest recommendation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Aspen/Snowmass area.”
Born in Mankato, Minnesota, Mark has retained strong Midwestern roots and values, which has translated into a refreshing and humble approach to his real estate career. When he isn’t working with his clients, who more often than not turn into lifelong friends, you can find him exploring “the highest points and the quietest most scenic of places” where he enjoys skiing, mountain biking, climbing and river running. But his favorite adventure of all is spending time with his partner Chantal and playing proud super dad with his Children, Cassandra in New York and Christian in Denver and watching them grow their own independence and creating their own lives as young adults.
