Testimonials

I sold every other business, home, 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.
I would highly recommend Judd. He has a strong understanding of the market from a real estate perspective, thus offers 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’m Sold on Coldwell Banker and Judd Clarence. I found Judd to be Entrepreneurial, Resourceful and Collaborative. Commercial real estate is equal parts style and substance, and Judd over-delivered on all counts. I highly recommend Judd as a Broker, Negotiator, designer and Builder.
Judd has sourced, designed & built two homes for us; one in Aspen with stunning views of Ajax Mountain and a beautiful beach home in Costa Rica. Finding well-located properties with strong value and negotiating the right price was the first and most important step. Judd’s ability to then rapidly design a luxury home tailored to the Aspen climate & lifestyle as well as the Costa Rica climate & lifestyle was nothing short of amazing. Judd’s impeccable eye for design & architecture are second only to his deep domain expertise as a luxury broker, real estate investor and master negotiator. Judd knows the Aspen market inside and out – he is talented, transparent and deeply passionate about what he does – highly recommend
