Susan Dempsey Hughes

Broker/Owner

I spent my childhood on the beaches of Florida. In 1989 I finished high school and moved west to Colorado in search of adventure and education and have been here ever since. While in college, I spent my summers in Salida and Buena Vista as a river guide and kayak instructor. After graduating from college I traveled to Central America to lead adventure travel trips.

I have lived in many mountain towns around Colorado, like Crested Butte, Breckenridge and Durango, but found Salida the absolute perfect spot! When it came time to put down roots I decided on Salida and bought my first home. It wasn’t a hard decision. Where else can you find a great community, incredible outdoor recreation and endless opportunity?

Coupling a passion for real estate investment with my sales experience, it almost seemed that real estate was an obvious and inevitable career choice. When I can help people find the property that fits their needs and desires, it is incredibly rewarding. For the past 23 years I have been a full-time Realtor in Chaffee County and have consistently been a top producing agent. In 2010, I became owner of Pinon Real Estate Group where I enjoy not only working with Buyers and Sellers, but also counseling and leading my team of real estate professionals. Today I balance mountain biking, skiing and river time with being a passionate Realtor, business owner and mother to my daughters Izzy (18 years) & Maggie (14 years).
