Alicia Romero

Alicia Romero moved to Durango from Seattle eleven years ago after attending the University of Washington. She grew up living in seven different states, three of which include the Four Corners States. Even with all of that moving, Durango has always been a place that she called home.

Growing up, off and on, in the SW, Alicia came back to her roots in 1996 from Seattle, WA. She comes from a multigenerational Coloradoan family. Alicia has prior work history as a raft guide, pastry chef and ran a non-profit educational program with The Durango Herald. She has been in real estate since the beginning of 2002 and was the 2004 winner of the Education Award. She holds several professional designations, one of which only 4% of Realtors across the country have. She is an active member of the Durango Area Association of Realtors and has held the Chairperson position for the Public Relations Committee for the association.

Alicia enjoys spending her time with her son, Rei Rasmussen, exploring the San Juan Mountains. She also enjoys cooking, reading, traveling, and practicing yoga…but not all at once. Her family time is the most important part of her day.

Having a strong sense of community, she has served on the Board of Directors for Bear Smart Durango, a local non-profit dedicated to educating the public about living in “bear country”. She was also on the Board of Directors for the Southwest Colorado Chapter of The Red Cross and served as Board Chairperson. She volunteered for a two and a half week deployment to Florida for hurricane relief work after Hurricane Wilma hit. She was a volunteer EMT/Firefighter with the Animas Fire Department before the consolidation of our local departments. Being passionate about affordable housing, Alicia served on the HomesFund Board for eight years and continues to teach their Home Buyer Education Classes. As a mother of a child involved in youth sports and classical music endeavors, she is an active board member for the San Juan Symphony, the Durango High School PTO and volunteers for her son's orchestra and symphony activities.
