Matthew Hintermeister

Originally from Oyster Bay Cove, NY, I graduated from Phillips Academy and Bates College. At Bates, I majored in Economics and wrote my thesis on the History and Mechanics of Ski Resort Real Estate Markets, setting myself up for success when I settled in Telluride in 2000, after vacationing here for many years with my family.

I have been a Realtor® in Telluride for 23 years and 22 of those have been with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. I was the 2008 & 2019 Telluride REALTOR® of the year. In addition to being a real estate broker I am part owner and founder of Telluride Eco Cleaners and the Telluride Laundromat.

My love for learning and travel took me to France, Chile, and Spain for studies, and I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, South America, and Northern Africa; I speak both French and Spanish. I enjoy skiing, hiking, four-wheeling, camping, sailing, fishing, gardening, travel, international cultures, and European art and history – I am truly a lifetime learner!

I am a Past President of the Telluride Association of REALTORS®, former Colorado Association of REALTORS® Mountain District Vice President and Director, and past Chair-Elect of CAR. I was also appointed to the National Association of REALTORS® Public Policy Coordinating Committee. I am a frequent visitor at both the Colorado and the US Capitols to advocate for homeowner and private property rights. Beyond real estate, I am president of the Telluride Aids Benefit (TAB), and formerly served on the Telluride Historic and Architecture Review Commission (HARC).
