Zach considers himself fortunate to have been raised in the amazing community of Steamboat. Growing up in the Yampa Valley, he has developed many friendships and connections that have translated into the real estate world. The decision to enter the real estate industry was a no-brainer, as both of his parents have been practicing since 1991. He takes great pride in being a second-generation Steamboat realtor continuing his family’s legacy.
Joining the family business in 2017 as an assistant, he quickly found a love for sharing the passion for his hometown with buyers and sellers and sharing in their personal goals. Since 2019, he has sold $19 million in sales volume, including residential, land, industrial, commercial and fractional ownerships.
However, Zach took some professional detours along the way before finding his calling. After graduating from Colorado State University, he went on a two-month solo hostel trip to Europe. He worked in Denver for three years at some of the largest recruiting firms in the world.
Zach is involved with his community and serves on the Routt County Humane Society Board, the Steamboat Tennis and Pickleball Center’s Junior Leadership Development Council and the MLS Board for ALTITUDE Realtors.
Zach enjoys hiking, camping, paddleboarding, golfing, skiing, hanging at the breweries, playing tennis, pickleball and cheering on all Colorado professional sports teams! He is getting married to his fiancé, Shelby, this year and has the goofiest black lab/hound mix Dallas who loves to go on our adventures!

Absolutely exceeded all expectations in all areas of our real estate journeys experience. Zach's helpfulness and communication kept us well informed throughout every step from beginning to closing and beyond. I honestly don't think we could have made it through the whole transaction process without Zach's and the Group's professional help. None better.
We’ve worked with Zach for multiple transactions at this point and he is just the best! Great guy, very personable and professional, and gets the job done. Highly recommend!
My experience with Zach and the Valicenti team was the best I've had with any real estate brokerage. Zach is responsive, reliable, attentive to details, excellent at strategizing for the best outcome, and extremely pleasant to deal with. His honesty is always paramount and he works well in a team setting and maintains strong rapport with other real estate brokers. Zach sold two properties for me and I truly believe they each resulted in the best possible outcome. After the sales contracts were in place, Zach stayed absolutely on top of the details and deadlines in order to assure the properties closed as planned. There is no doubt I would lean on Zach for any future real estate needs.
Everything was handled professiionally and each detail attended to promptly. Zach was kind and courteous and just plain good !
From the moment we contacted Zach and Marci we were tremendously impressed and pleased with their pleasant personalities and prompt and complete service. They were especially helpful to me since I live in California and needed their expertise about buying in Colorado. They were always available to answer questions and were timely with contract/correspondence. They were helpful and involved even after closing and ably coordinated many aspects including the many parties involved in our transaction. I highly recommend them! Larry Hester
Zach Valicenti has been excellent to work with. He is easily reachable, responsive, and works hard to market the properties effectively. He is a good communicator and strategist and keeps in contact with other brokers in the area to keep the property fresh in their minds. His brokers' open house events were well attended and he often went the extra mile to optimize the chances of sales success. The bottom line is that it worked, as we were able to get top dollar for this property.
I had a great buying experience thanks to Zach and his team.
Zach was great to work with. He was on top of everything, very communicative, patient and thorough. Would use zach for any future real estate sales!
Our experience was great! After looking at a couple different properties we narrowed down exactly what we wanted and where. We were able to get in to the house of our dreams for now with a very smooth process. Thanks Zach !!
