Christy and her husband, Matt, along with their son, Tell, live on a 1,600 acre ranch north of Steamboat Springs in the Elk River Valley.

They lease about 20,000 additional private and public acres and run a year round cow/calf operation.  They also graze 1,500 yearling cattle every summer and harvest over 500 tons of native hay.  The Belton's really enjoy their lifestyle and they consider themselves fortunate to be able to live and work in the Elk River area.

Christy is one of just 12 Accredited Land Consultants with the Realtors Land Institute in Colorado and brings a well-rounded approach to ranch and recreation property transactions. She has experience with water, minerals, fences, easements, livestock and outdoor recreation and received the Colorado Realtors Land Institute Land Realtor of the Year award in 2008.  The first hand knowledge a local ranching broker brings to the table can be invaluable.

Christy is a direct, no bull, straight shooter.  She brings her ranch ethics ~ honesty, hard work, dedication, a mind-your-own business attitude, and respect for privacy ~  to her real estate business.
