About Summit
We focus onwhat we know best.
Summit was born out of necessity. The owner started operating an Airbnb in 2020 and quickly realized that running a short-term rental well is two full-time jobs — not one. Pricing, guest communication, cleaning logistics, smart-lock batteries, lawn mowing, restocking soap dispensers, fielding 2 AM lockouts. Nobody warns you about the operational tax.
More than a decade in real estate sales and remodeling means we don't just understand the listing side — we understand the asset. When a guest reports a weird sound from the HVAC, we know whether it's a $40 fix or a $4,000 fix. When pricing needs to react to Hill Climb weekend or Territory Days, we know the demand pattern. When a lock battery is dying, we're already at the property swapping it.
That hands-on background — knowing how the property is built, how it sells, how it operates — is why owners trust us with the whole thing. We're not running a call center. We're running their home like it's ours.
Today we serve a tight six-zip downtown Colorado Springs footprint — 80903, 80904, 80905, 80906, 80907, 80909. We don't cross the line. We don't apologize for the focus.
Where we work
A tight circle.Drawn on purpose.
Six zip codes wrapped around downtown Colorado Springs. If your property is inside this circle, we'll manage it like our own. If it's not, we'll tell you honestly and point you to someone better positioned.
Accountabilityisn't optional here.
Colorado employing broker license
EC.100077250
Summit Short Term Rentals operates as a licensed Colorado real estate firm. Every dollar of guest revenue we touch is held to the same fiduciary and trust-account standards the state applies to long-term brokerage — regulated by the Colorado Division of Real Estate, subject to audit, backed by errors & omissions insurance.
Trust-account handling
Guest funds sit in a regulated trust account until they clear to you — not commingled with operating cash.
A real license on the line
If we ever mishandled your property or income, you'd have an actual regulator to call — not a customer-service ticket.
Continuing education
Licensed brokers complete state-mandated CE every renewal cycle. That includes contracts, disclosures, and fair-housing law.
Written, disclosed, filed
Our management agreement is a real contract — reviewable, terminable, and compliant with Colorado statute.
A word about our competitors
A large share of Colorado Springs short-term rental "management" is done by unlicensed operators — hobbyists who watched a YouTube video, out-of-state property managers with no local presence, or friends-of-friends. That means: no trust accounting, no CE, no regulator, no recourse if your money disappears or your property gets torched. Ask them for their broker license number. Watch what happens.
Ours is EC.100077250 — verify it any time at the Colorado DRE license lookup.
What we believe
Three things we won't compromise on.
Hyperlocal, by design
Six zip codes around downtown Colorado Springs. We don't apologize for the focus — it's the whole point.
Hands-on, not hands-off
Real estate sales + remodeling background means we don't outsource the things that actually fix problems.
Always available
Quick to respond, day or night. The kind of attention you can only deliver when you're not spread thin.
