About CLAIRE COTROS

Working with Judd is a true pleasure as he gives his clients total confidence that everything is under control and he truly has your best interest in mind. He is always going above and beyond to exceed expectations as he brings up topics and ideas that we have never considered that turn into value-creating initiatives. I consider Judd a friend who I can trust and count on for amazing communication and work that always exceeds our expectations.

Judd is an expert negotiator and we were able to get this property which had a waiting list of buys. He sourced the property like finding a needle in a haystack, negotiated ideal terms, and closed ahead of schedule. It was a dream. His deep industry knowledge, transparency, and tenacity ensured we got our dream property in Aspen, within walking distance to everything. We went on to hire Judd's design-build team a year later and they transformed the property into a true gem. Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Judd. He has a strong understanding of the market from a real estate perspective, and thus offers a good insight in that regard. Of course, he is also a licensed GC with deep knowledge and provides great value in terms of aesthetic value and direction. In terms of communication, I was able to communicate with Judd on a regular basis by way of text and email - I think if you hire Judd as a broker or design/build advisor, you will be satisfied and will enjoy working with him.

I sold every other business, home, and the apartment I owned on my own. Despite online actions, connections, and expensive newspaper ads, and after 6 months of running around Aspen and organizing regular showings, I gave up and listed my house with Judd and he sold it in a week. Judd got me a full-price offer and we closed ahead of schedule.

We worked with Judd first as our broker when purchasing our home and then he quickly evolved, becoming our general contractor for renovations immediately upon closing. Having a broker who is also a talented general contractor considerably broadened our search from afar in a market with a limited, yet ageing inventory. Judd's capacity to visualize and define what was possible from a design and construction perspective allowed us to move quickly with an offer and begin negotiating until under contract. I would best describe Judd professionally as being relentlessly persistent, where the fortunate outcome is our owning a beautifully updated home in a h...

I have proactively recommended Judd to some of my very close friends. Judd has the rare combination of having an incredible work ethic while also having knowledge of the real estate industry that I have never seen before. His attention to detail in every part of the real estate process has proven to be invaluable. What impresses me most about Judd is his high level of integrity. When you decide to partner with Judd on any real estate transaction you can rest assured that he had your best interest in mind and will always be 100% transparent and accountable in everything he does. Judd not only executes with precision but brings in very thoughtful crea...

I am more than happy to share my sincere, total, and unreserved recommendation for Judd Clarence and his skilled teams at Aspen LuxuryBrokers and Giant Construction. If you’re considering a design or construction project in the Aspen Valley, you really can’t do better than Judd. Aspen, as you may be aware, can be a challenging place to build. If you don’t know your way around, it can go bad fast. Judd understands the system, the regulations, the resources, and everything it takes to get things done here. I’ve known Judd for over a decade. I know him, his amazing wife Katie, and their two remarkable kids, Taj and Jett. I never come into town without ...

Judd negotiated a very complex and creative deal... Most big name realtors in Aspen wouldn't have worked that hard, and quite honestly wouldn't have had the patience or insight to put that deal together in the first place. We can say with certainty we would not have the awesome property we currently own, if it weren't for Judd.
