Sue Runnells is a Summit County, Colorado real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Mountain Properties, known for her strategic marketing approach, deep local expertise, and specialized focus on luxury and mountain real estate. Licensed in Colorado since 2018 and supported by 28 years of real estate experience, Sue serves clients throughout Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper Mountain, Frisco, Silverthorne, and Dillon, with particular expertise in resort-driven and HOA-regulated communities.

Sue has closed more than $21 million in career sales, with transactions most commonly falling in the $1M–$2M range and a highest recorded sale of $2.1M. She represents buyers and sellers equally and is frequently sought out for luxury homes, ski-in/ski-out properties, second homes, short-term rental–eligible residences, and complex HOA environments where experience and precision matter. Her background includes vacation rental management and second-home transactions—an essential advantage in Summit County’s nuanced mountain market.

Her professional designations include Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS®)—making her the only broker in Summit County holding both—along with Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), Certified Global Luxury Real Estate Broker, Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS™), Summit Area Specialist (SAS), and Certified Mountain Area Specialist (CMAS). She has earned Coldwell Banker’s International Sterling Society distinction and was named Summit Daily Best of Summit – Best Real Estate Agent (Top 3) for three consecutive years.

In 2025, Sue competed as a rookie driver in the Rebelle Rally, the longest off-road rally in the country that just happens to be exclusively for women, successfully navigating thousands of kilometers of remote desert and mountain terrain without GPS or technology of any kind, using only compass and paper maps. The experience reflects the same qualities her clients rely on: preparation, resilience, situational awareness, and calm decision-making under pressure.

For clients searching for a top Summit County REALTOR®, Sue Runnells offers proven results, specialized luxury credentials, and authentic local expertise—grounded in experience and earned the hard way.
