Telluride Consulting was created in 1985 in response to the needs of the real estate community, as well as other regional professionals. For the past 31 years, the company has provided real estate professionals, builders, developers, bankers, appraisers, and individual investors with detailed information and analysis of real estate activity and trends in San Miguel County.
Telluride Consulting filled a specific niche, which continues to grow each year, by offering accurate and confidential data, regional market expertise, and personal consultation.

Custom reports require very little time to produce since all the data have been collected in advance and over 300 templates have been designed to facilitate creating a custom report. These reports generate income from both regular and first-time clients.
