Your Luxury Home Journey Begins in Durango’s Most Trusted Real Estate Group

Real estate in Southwest Colorado is personal. For many people, buying or selling a home in Durango, La Plata County, Pagosa Springs, or Farmington, New Mexico isn’t just a transaction — it’s a major life moment. At Blackmore Group Realty, we believe the experience should feel exciting, transparent, and actually enjoyable. Our goal is simple: help people make confident real estate decisions while making the process feel easy and stress-free. Most of our clients start as strangers and end up feeling like friends by the time we close. That’s because we believe real estate should feel human — not transactional. We Know This Market Because We Live It Durango isn’t just a place we work — it’s home. We know the neighborhoods, the hidden gems, the trails locals love, and the small details that don’t show up on a property listing. Whether someone is searching for a home in Downtown Durango, Animas Valley, Edgemont Ranch, Three Springs, or the surrounding areas of La Plata County, we help buyers understand not just the house, but the lifestyle that comes with it. From morning coffee downtown to skiing at Purgatory Resort, this community has a rhythm that makes people fall in love with living here. Helping people find their place in that lifestyle is one of the best parts of what we do. Real Advice — Not Sales Pressure One thing our clients consistently tell us is how much they appreciate our honesty. If a property isn’t the right fit, we’ll say it. If a home is overpriced, we’ll break down the numbers. If we think a better opportunity might come along, we’ll talk about it. Buying or selling real estate is a big decision, and our job is to help you feel confident every step of the way — not rushed into something that doesn’t feel right. Data That Helps You Make Smart Decisions The Durango and La Plata County real estate market can move quickly, and having the right information matters. At Blackmore Group Realty, we keep a close eye on local market trends including: Median home prices in Durango and La Plata County Price per square foot trends Inventory levels and new listings Average days on market Buyer demand across different price ranges This helps our clients make informed decisions whether they’re buying their dream home or positioning their property to sell for the best possible value. Helping People Relocate to the Durango Lifestyle Many of our clients are relocating to Southwest Colorado from other states. They’re searching for something different — a slower pace of life, access to outdoor adventure, and a strong sense of community. We help buyers understand what living here is really like, from neighborhoods and schools to hiking trails, local restaurants, and the places locals spend their weekends. Because moving somewhere new isn’t just about finding a house — it’s about finding a place that feels like home. A Local Network That Works for You After years working in the Durango real estate market, we’ve built strong relationships with local agents, lenders, builders, inspectors, and contractors throughout Southwest Colorado. That network can make a huge difference during a real estate transaction. It helps deals move smoothly and sometimes even uncovers opportunities before they appear on the public market. Real Estate Is About People At the end of the day, real estate isn’t just about contracts and paperwork. It’s about helping a family find the right place to raise their kids. Helping someone relocate to a town they’ve dreamed about living in. Or helping a seller move forward into their next chapter with confidence. That’s why we take a relationship-first approach to everything we do at Blackmore Group Realty. Let’s Talk About Your Real Estate Goals Whether you're exploring homes for sale in Durango, thinking about selling property in La Plata County, or considering a move to Pagosa Springs or Farmington, we’d love to help guide you through the process. When you're ready, we’re here to help you take the next step.

Testimonials

Jordan Anderson Home Buyer

By far the fastest and easiest home buying experience. My first home, my husband’s 3rd time working with the Blackmore Group and we will be back when it is time for our next house. Everyone on the team goes above and beyond to make the experience painless and memorable! Beyond excited for our new home! Thank you so much!

Cecilia Whitaker Home Seller

Ashley is the best realtor ever. From listing to closing was two months! No hassles, everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend her for your high end property sale or purchase.

Blandoni Berbosi Home Buyer

Stop looking for a realtor and hire Ashley. We have purchased 7 homes in different parts of the country (most of which would be considered “high end”) and I can say unequivocally that Ashley is hands down the best buyer’s agent we have ever worked with. Her level of energy, wits, and communication is unparalleled in our experience. She’s indefatigable, quick, and creative. We recently used Ashley for a property purchase where she had to deal with an inept, unprofessional, and unethical seller’s agent, and she handled it like a master. You won’t be disappointed if you hire Ashley.

Martha Schanfarber Home Buyer

Working with Ashley was an amazing experience for us. After listing the house with other realtors before her and never getting it sold, we finally made the smart decision to hire Ashley. She worked so incredibly hard and kept in constant communication with us. She also had to deal with very difficult situations with tenants and never gave up and continued to act in a professional manner. She definitely went above and beyond for us. We are so happy that Ashley got our house sold at a great price and we will forever be thankful for her great energy and kindness. We highly recommend her!

Joanna Maguire Home Buyer

She was professional, kind and always available for us. She advocated on our behalf as we purchased our family’s home and we are beyond thrilled! We highly recommend her to anyone searching to buy or sell their home.

Matute Home Buyer

Michelle did a fantastic job representing me during a new construction purchase. She always had my best interests through the process and handled all the unexpected changes quickly and effectively. I would no doubt use Michelle in the future and recommend Michelle to any other

Heidi Thrasher Home Seller

JR and Bobbi helped my elderly mother with the complex and emotionally challenging process of selling the homestead. Making sure she understood every aspect and helping her make decisions with confidence. The entire event was handled with the utmost compassion, professionalism, skill and hard work and they achieved the best possible outcome for everyone concerned. Deepest gratitude to the the best team in the business, Bobbi and JR.

Austin Zufelt Home Seller

Jr and Bobby just helped my mom to sell her house. The house was in need of lots of repairs and improvements but they both jumped right in spending far more of their time then would be expected in the normal scope of putting the house up for sale. Not only coordinating with contractors but spending tons of their personal time making improvements and cleaning up the property themselves. They were able to get my aging mother far more for her property then she was expecting and were totally awesome too deal with throughout the process. I would totally recommend them to anyone for all of their real estate needs!

Alex Bradshaw Home Buyer

Tel was a wonder to work with. From start to finish he knew exactly how to explain the process. This was my first time buying and I was extremely nervous. Tel did an amazing job making sure I knew just as well as he did, the steps and procedures we needed to execute in order to get my first spot! We ended up seeing 3 places with 1 of them being my dream home. Tel made sure that we came with the most competitive offer, which did end up winning us the home! Tel, I cannot be more grateful, I will forever use you as my real estate professional and am already referring you to all my friends! Thank you! 🙌🏼

Mark Holcom Home Buyer

Tel Hamilton did a great job with the purchase of our new home. He went above and beyond whenever asked and always answered texts or emails promptly. He was an invaluable resource for local contacts and services and helped out with many tasks that weren't his responsibility, always willingly and with a smile. Don't let his youth be an issue. Absolutely recommend Tel and his company 100%!!
