SALLY SPECIALIZES IN RESIDENTIAL, LAND, COMMERCIAL, MULTIFAMILY AND NEW CONSTRUCTION.
A highly sought-after and respected real estate professional with over 45 years of experience, Sally set out to explore the beautiful Rocky Mountains after graduating from Bucknell University in 1974. Immediately, she found herself in Telluride, a historic Victorian town nestled in the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, and has called this community home for close to 50 years.
Sally has devoted herself to Telluride through the years, actively engaging in community events and participating at the local level. She proudly served as President of the Telluride Association of Realtors in 1998, was a member of the Board of Directors for the Bank of Telluride, and has been Realtor of the Year in 1996, 2006, and 2021.
In 2018, she became involved with the Telluride Science Research Center, the largest independent molecular center in the world. When she came to understand the global impact of TSRC and how they are able to export science from our tiny town to points all around the globe, it gave her goosebumps. She is now a TSRC Board Member and was actively involved in the local effort to purchase the permanent home for TSRC at the Telluride Depot, a project that will permanently secure the Depot as a community asset and provide a year-round facility for TSRC. Currently, Sally is actively involved in a second campaign for TSRC in which they have raised 2 million dollars out of their 6-million-dollar goal. These funds will support the renovation of the Telluride Depot, turning it into a state of the are science and innovation center. In addition to her work with the TSRC, Sally is also a strong supporter of the hospital district which is in the midst of planning to build a new hospital in the next five years. Finally, an art lover herself, Sally spends much of her time supporting local art and theater programs, with a special focus on Telluride’s youth, including the Ah Haa School, mentoring young children, and providing scholarships to graduating seniors.
She also recognizes the importance of giving back to the community that has cared for her family and friends over the years. She is a proud mother of one son who graduated from Duke University as well as from the Goizueta Business School at Emory (2013). Her son Tyler now lives in Atlanta, GA with his wife Shannon, their daughter, Sloane Elizabeth, and son, Patrick Owen. Tyler is working in commercial real estate as the Managing Principal at Cushman and Wakefield.
Sally enjoys tending to her garden, traveling, skiing, sailing, and fishing, and her favorite is to sip an incredible Bordeaux on her patio with her wonderful husband Jim Harley, who is a Kentucky gentleman and a fellow Bucknellian. Whether you choose Telluride as your home or your next vacation retreat, Sally’s dedication, compassion, and extensive real estate experience will guide you every step of the way.
