Sean Steinman

Sean Steinman is a Utah-based Real Estate Professional and the Founder & CEO of Resonance Ventures, a real estate development company based in Salt Lake City that works to create spaces that allow human beings to live, work and play. Encompassing everything from industrial, multi-family, residential developments and community-focused food and beverage operating companies, Resonance Ventures has a motto that resonates throughout them all which is ‘Love Your City’.

Sean began his professional career within the music industry and got his first taste of entrepreneurship when he noticed a gap in music education that he knew he could fix. This prompted him to start Alpine Percussion and set up the design and development of a practice marimba and alignment in manufacturing to import products into the US for white labeling within US-based music companies. The success of this company allowed him to begin focusing on bigger and better ideas, resulting in being courted by a local sustainable home builder Garbett Homes. This kick-started his REI structure and business strategies and left him with a keen desire to start Resonance Homes & Development which would later be absorbed by Resonance Ventures.

In the fall of 2021, looking to boost the level of real estate services he was able to offer clients, Sean joined Summit Sotheby’s International Realty, drawn by their reputation as Utah’s only full-service brokerage with in-house teams in marketing and advertising, transaction management, legal, accounting and even professional photography and video. Now, backed by the global power of the Sotheby’s Realty brand and a truly international network of sales professionals, and supported directly by Summit Sotheby’s in-house professional teams, Sean is able to provide his clients a luxury real estate experience no matter the location, size or price-point of their home or property.

Sean is a visionary first and an eco-conscious urban developer second. The creation of a closed loop eco-system within his companies has allowed for an immense amount of growth that is encompassed within Resonance Ventures, including a real estate-focused branch (through Summit Sotheby’s International Realty), construction management, design and a food and beverage operating company (Root’d Management Group). With community impact at the forefront of Resonance Ventures, Sean has been involved in over $300M in recent real estate projects which has directly impacted positive growth within affordable for-sale housing, market rate multi-family, tilt-up industrial, residential infill and currently holds over 103,000 square feet of assets.

When Sean is not working and creating, he is spending time with his wife Allison and two children Violet and Judah, splitting time between his home in Cottonwood Heights and his property up near Smith & Moorehouse reservoir in Oakley, Utah. Sean has a strong spiritual connection with the mountains and rivers our beautiful state has to offer and spends as much time as possible enjoying fishing, rafting, biking and climbing.
