Meet Lars

As a broker in Telluride since 1989, Lars Carlson is one of the leading brokers in the Telluride real estate community. As a Global Real Estate Advisor with LIV Sotheby's International Realty, Lars proudly represents some of the finest properties and homes in the Telluride region—from ski-in/ski-out, luxury trailside homes and condominiums to quaint Victorian homes in the heart of historic Telluride to estates and ranches in the surrounding areas. With his exceptional knowledge of the market, strong negotiating skills, and commitment to excellent service, Lars works professionally with discerning buyers and sellers from around the globe to meet their needs and goals.

 

Lars is a respected broker within the community and among his peers, earning the Telluride Association of REALTORS® 2020 and 2016 REALTOR® of the Year for his professionalism and community service. In November 2023, Lars finished his second four-year term as a Telluride Town Council member, using his decades-long experience as a local as well as his real estate expertise to benefit the Telluride community. He is a retired 22-year veteran of the Telluride Volunteer Fire Department and a past president of the Telluride Association of REALTORS®. Lars actively participates on the board of the Telluride Regional Airport Authority, the Telluride Ski and Snowboard Club Board & Telluride Volunteer Firefighter Scholarship Committees.

 

After attending the University of Oregon, Lars moved to Telluride, Colorado in 1985 with his college roommates for a winter of skiing and adventure, a lifestyle that continues today, over 40 years later. Though he has replaced ice axes and harnesses for golf clubs and hiking boots, Lars continues to take advantage of Telluride's incredible backyard. He is an avid golfer, skier, hiker, biker, fisherman, and general outdoorsman, but also enjoys reading and traveling when he is not trying to keep up with the women in his life—his wife, Annie, and their two daughters, Taylor and Skylar.
