Rachel Cossman, advisor and associate broker of Engel & Voelkers, offers the finest service to her clients. She is current with the local and national market trends as well as the latest technology available. Relationship oriented, and with a successful sales career behind her, Rachel has the skills and passion for real estate that are necessary in today’s ever-evolving market. Her connections are not just limited to clients and customers, as her cooperative broker rapport has often facilitated solidifying the most exacting transactions. Responsive and detailoriented, Rachel is proactive about becoming an expert on all of the properties she represents. She works closely with her clients, providing fresh, creative insights and an unyielding determination to help them find success in their real estate endeavors.
Rachel has been the recipient of numerous accolades and awards for her diligent work with sellers and buyers, including the Top Producer recognition year after year. Rachel’s experience originated in the mid 90’s in the commercial sector of the Industry. Five years later, her focus segued into residential luxury resort real estate. In Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley, she has added luxury rentals to her portfolio; representing owners in achieving an ROI, and guests on fulfilling their dream vacations.
Her tenacity and resourcefulness served her well during the recession of 2008, as only the fulltime brokers had the stamina to endure. At the beginning of her career, she was recognized in the region as assertive and hard-working, eventually receiving so many inquiries and referrals that she hired an assistant to help manage her ever-expanding client base and listing portfolio.
Rachel sat on the Bolton Landing Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors from 2013-2016 and was a board member of the Grievance Committee and Professional Standards for the Warren County Board of Realtors from 2009- 2015.

Rachel has served on the Board of Directors for Headquarters, (née Aspen Strong.) She has volunteered for Aspen Hope, (2021-2024,) the 2023 World Cup Men’s downhill, and sponsored the Woodystock festival and fundraiser (2023, 2024.) She is a current member of the Aspen Institute Society of Fellows and is a contributing writer to the Aspen Times, Aspen Daily News and other local publications and blog platforms. Rachel serves as a Skico Ambassador for Snowmass Mountain on Sundays during the ski season.
In her leisure time, when not assisting clients, Rachel indulges in her passions for athletics and the outdoors; namely hiking, skiing, golfing, slalom water skiing, mountain biking or playing USTA 3.5 ranked league and recreational tennis.

“ I worked with Rachel to sell our Adirondack vacation home a few years ago. I found her after working with another realtor without success as the property sat for quite a while unsold. Rachel put together a great marketing plan and began to aggressively work it. She was able to find us a buyer and we closed the deal. I highly recommend Rachel for anyone looking to sell their property, especially given her experience in vacation market.”
Matt, Bolton Landing, Single-Family Home
“ If you, or anyone you know needs help with realty, look no further than Rachel. We listed our home with the biggest name in our area and after a full year, NOTHING. We needed to sell as we had already purchased another home and were not in a position to own two homes.
Rachel to the rescue, Rachel Candace makes things happen, she got it sold, for full market value, and got it done very quickly. She is a true pleasure to work with and knows her business. Take her advice, do what she suggests, let her do her thing, and enjoy the results. Five stars for Rachel Candace Cossman!”
Jason, Diamond Point, Single-Family Home
“Rachel is a true real estate professional. We listed our $2.5 million house with her based on her in-depth analysis of the market, building costs, land values, comparable sales, marketing expertise, and engaging personality. Her reputation with other realtors is exceptional and was evident in the response she received to open house invitations and requests for feedback, both of which are so important when trying to find the right price point for a unique property.
Rachel’s clients give her glowing reviews and recommend her with great enthusiasm because of her realistic approach to getting the job done. I highly recommend her as a competent, trustworthy and capable real estate broker and sales professional and would never think of using anyone else.”

“I can’t say enough about how pleased we were with every aspect of Carla’s performance. as I’ve said , she was great! Thank you Carla.”
Jim and Joan – Sellers
“We would recommend Carla to anyone thinking of selling their home. She was always professional and considered the ethics behind difficult decisions (on our part or on her part). We not only respected her professionalism, but we came away feeling Carla is a good friend.”
Dean and Jean – Sellers
“Carla is such a friendly face who we love working with. She works well with all personalities and is very reliable. She is knowledgeable and was able to help us every step of the way, no matter what questions we threw at her. She truly made buying a new home so easy, and we knew we could rely on her. I would highly recommend using Carla.”
Grace S. – Buyer
“Carla was incredibly prepared every step of the way. By far, she is the best realtor we have used in our 22 years of real estate sales. We live outside of the state of Colorado and she made sure everything went smoothly so we could close remotely. I would highly recommend her to others and hope to use her again for other properties in Pitkin County.”
