Joe Risi is a trusted real estate advisor with deep roots in Colorado’s mountain and river communities.
Based in Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley, Joe specializes in unique and hard-to-find properties—off-market ranches, recreational land, riverfront homes, mining claims, and parcels that border public lands. His clients range from seasoned outdoorsmen to first-time buyers seeking a private retreat in the Rockies.
Before real estate, Joe built a career helping outdoor brands tell their stories through media and content. That experience informs his current approach—combining creative marketing with sharp negotiation and deep local insight. He believes that every property has a story, and the right buyer just needs to hear it the right way.
Joe’s is passionate about featuring immersive photography, detailed land descriptions, accurate land mapping, and a clear understanding of lifestyle—whether that’s fly fishing out the back door or simply enjoying the solitude of a high-country escape. His work has landed in national publications and is known for standing out in a crowded market.
Clients value Joe for his responsiveness, honesty, and local knowledge. As a member of Homewaters Real Estate—an outdoorsman-run brokerage—he brings a personal touch and a guide’s mindset to every transaction. With trusted expertise across the real estate spectrum, Joe Risi is a valued partner for ranch and land buyers across Colorado as well as luxury buyers and sellers throughout Aspen’s premier neighborhoods—including Red Mountain, East Aspen, the Core, West End, and Cemetery Lane—as well as Woody Creek, Snowmass Village, Basalt, and Carbondale including remote properties in Redstone and Marble.
