ents achieve their real estate goals.

He and his wife Mindy enjoy everything that makes Boulder special: the great restaurants, stunning scenery, and 300+ days of sunshine each year. When he’s not working with clients, you’ll likely find Steve outdoors—hiking, biking, skiing, or boating—or performing as a singer and guitarist in Boulder’s local music scene. His original songs have been featured on radio stations across the country, including Boulder’s own KBCO, and he’s even taken the stage at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium and Bluebird Café. Friendly, honest, and dedicated, Steve Altermatt combines decades of proven success with a true love for Boulder and its people.
