A Brief History of BJ Adams and Company Real Estate

BJ Adams and Company was formed in May of 1994 to market and sell property in the Roaring Fork Valley in a way that had not been done before. The company's offices, in Aspen and in Snowmass Village, are distinguished by their appearance and historic nature, both having been originally built in the late 1800's.

The company is distinguished by its unique marketing materials and strategies, by the collaborative nature of its broker team, by a high staff-to-broker ratio and by its consistent use of the latest technology.

In its first full quarter of operations, BJ Adams and Company sold more property than its three largest Snowmass Village competitors combined. BJ Adams and Company has remained a consistent leader in sales volume ever since.

According to reported MLS data, BJ Adams and Company was the first company ever to generate over $100 million in volume in a 12-month period.

The reasons for BJ Adams and Company's continued leadership are a mixture of dedication, service, marketing, integrity, communication, technology, teamwork and strategies for excellence that give us a competitive advantage that we like to call "higher ground."

In the fall of 2011, BJ Adams and Company swept the Aspen Times Locals' Choice Awards. The firm topped the voting for favorite real estate company, and also ranked at the top of the tally for favorite female and favorite male realtor. Read the Aspen Times' story.

Facts About BJ Adams and Company's Sales Performance

Our agents have deeper experience than most, selling 2-10 times as many listings per agent as other top offices.

We generate more listing sales dollar volume per agent than any other office (again, typically double the top offices, and ten times the rest of the valley offices).

Our office produces more total transactions per agent than our closest colleagues at other firms, and over twice as many as the next nine top offices. In sales volume in 12 months, in non-recession years, it has exceeded $500 million!

Our listings typically sell 30-40% faster than the average (that's about 50-75 days faster).  

Our listings typically sell for a higher percentage of list price than the market average (96.03% vs 94.43% for the year... an average of $32,000 additional per property).

During 2008, during one of the most disappointing real estate years on record, BJ Adams and Company still produced the highest sales volume of any firm in the valley.
