Meet Wendy & Caren

At Elevated Luxury Estates, we believe buying a home in the mountains is about more than real estate—it's about embracing an extraordinary lifestyle.

As longtime Summit County locals, we've spent decades living, working, raising our families, and enjoying everything these mountains have to offer. From first chair on a powder day to summer evenings on the trails, we don't just sell the mountain lifestyle—we live it every day.

Our clients rely on us for far more than market knowledge. Whether you're looking for the perfect ski-in/ski-out retreat, a luxury mountain estate, or an investment property, we'll help you discover the neighborhoods, restaurants, hiking and biking trails, ski resorts, and hidden local favorites that make Summit County such a special place to call home.

Together, we combine decades of luxury real estate experience with deep local connections, strategic marketing, expert negotiation, and an unwavering commitment to personalized service. We understand the nuances of mountain living—from HOAs and short-term rental regulations to investment opportunities and market trends—allowing our clients to make confident, informed decisions.

At Elevated Luxury Estates, our goal is simple: to help you find not just the perfect property, but a place where your family can create lasting memories for generations to come.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Caren was wonderful, very enjoyable to work with, and a true local to the area with lots of fun stories and real knowledge. She was always willing to go above and beyond, very professional and friendly. We couldn't give a higher recommendation for Caren. We were very pleased with her services and thank her very much for getting our condo sold.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Wendy is the best and most diligent real estate broker I have ever encountered in several decades of buying and selling houses. As an attorney who often deals with deadlines and contract language, I was consistently impressed and appreciative of the constant attention, feedback, advice, and professionalism shown by Laurie and Wendy throughout our recent home-buying and contemporaneous selling experience....

We absolutely loved working with Wendy and Zephyr! Their professionalism, promptness in getting us in to see houses in this crazy market, responsiveness, knowledge, negotiating skills when it comes to contracts, amazing community connections—whether it was a mortgage broker, banker, or construction team—they have an awesome network and attention to detail when it came to closing and working with our HOA!...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Caren is a fabulous agent. She helped me and my partner buy our first home, guiding us through the entire process with compassion and respect. We found her advice and expertise to be wholly trustworthy, and we were always able to reach out with any questions we had about anything from how to fill the many forms out to what local mortgage lenders to consider. Highly recommended.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Caren Mapes sold our home in Alma. She was exceptional in her knowledge of the real estate market and showed determination in having several open houses in the middle of winter to get our house as many viewings as she could. We had several feet of snow, and Caren would show up, shovel, get the wood stove lit, and bring homemade cookies for the potential buyers. We had to do a small renovation, which took...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Thank you for your kind words. We feel the same about you and Wendy, the Elevated Living Team. You both go above and beyond in all aspects of your work. It's a work ethic that is hard to find anymore. I think the one quality that sets people apart is their ability to look in the mirror. I refer to the mythical "self-reflection gene." Some people have it, and some simply do not. If we can reflect back on ...
