Michael Latousek

Michael has a large family that began visiting Aspen in the early '70's where they enjoyed the world class skiing in the winters and fly-fishing, hiking and mountain biking in the summers. Raised in the northern suburbs of Chicago (Glenview), his parents bought a property at the base of Smuggler Mountain in Aspen back in 1974 and then eventually in Starwood in 1988.

After graduating from Loyola Academy in Wilmette, Illinois, Michael went on to Spring Hill College (Mobile, AL), graduating in 1990. He then moved out to Aspen where he began working at Pinons restaurant and was a professional ski instructor at Buttermilk throughout the ‘90's.
In 1999, Michael began his career in real estate with the Aspen Real Estate Company and sold for the same agent that brokered the deal for his parent's property back in 1974. In 2008, Michael was invited to join Joshua & Co. (now Douglas Elliman) and has since been selling real estate in the upper Aspen valley full time now - for 20+ years.
His recent clients are some of the most prominent figures in the US financial world as well as long time locals trusting Michael to assist them in moving on from their legacy properties or finding new ones.

His passion for meeting new people and showing them the lifestyle here in the Roaring Fork Valley that he enjoys so much is something that drives him to give his best every day. He continues to pursue a successful career that has brought numerous satisfied clients into Michael's portfolio.
Michael lives just downstream in Basalt with his wife, Denise, and their 2 girls, Lauren (17) and Taylor (15).
