In 1991, Tye Stockton, a former equity options trader on Wall Street for Bear Stearns in Manhattan, decided to trade his financial career for a new life in Vail; a place he had grown to love during his many trips to the Rocky Mountains.

Tye is ranked as the #1 individual broker in Vail from 2018 — 2023 by sales volume. He was also ranked as a top 50 Individual Agent in the USA by The Wall Street Journal in 2019, and with over $160 million in sales in 2023, his sales production outpaced his competitors once again. Tye Stockton is both a seasoned professional and savvy negotiator, having represented clients in transactions totaling more than $1.8 billion in his career. Tye was inducted into the Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate Billionaire’s Club in 2019.

On behalf of his clients, Tye has achieved record-breaking sales prices at many of the Vail Valley’s finest addresses and neighborhoods, including the 2020 sale of 99 & 100 Vail Road for $57,250,000, the 2022 sale of 615 Forest Place for $30,875,000 and his international sale of 375 Mill Creek Circle for $24,000,000.

Other notable sales for Stockton is when he represented both the buyer and seller of 1109 Vail Valley Drive in Vail for $17.25 million. This sale was not only the highest sale in the history of Vail Golf Course but also the highest sold price per square foot in the golf course history. He has also represented the sale of the 2950 Booth Creek Drive for $21,000,000, another record sale in the neighborhood.

As one of the world’s premier resort destinations, Vail Valley real estate has attracted a lot of attention.

A passionate believer in giving, Tye participates as a board member in many community organizations such as Bravo! Vail, Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, and Ski & Snowboard Club Vail.
