Get to Know Me
Originally from Baltimore, David spent many years of his professional life in New York City and Boca Raton. With over 25 years in sales and business management, he’s maintained the relationships with high-net worth individuals from these markets to effectively leverage and sell luxury real estate in the Roaring Fork Valley. He very quickly developed a wealth of knowledge about Aspen and Snowmass from the past years spent living here, and is a valuable resource to his clients looking to immerse themselves in all that the valley has to offer. David’s past work experience was right in the wheelhouse of luxury real estate, as he led some of the most successful and well recognized national advertising and experiential marketing campaigns for many of the largest real estate developers, brokerages, and agents in the country. His years as the Director of National Home Furnishings at Florida Design Magazine and Modern Luxury Media, developed his keen sense of design and architecture, which brings a unique skill set to his clients looking for advice and expertise in this area, during the purchase, staging, remodeling, and sale or rental of their furnished homes.
A world traveler, David is an expert skier, equestrian, private pilot, avid cyclist, and jazz aficionado. Whether it be up to the Maroon Bells, over McClain Flats and down to the Woody Creek Tavern or riding his four legged athletes at Cozy Point Ranch, he loves challenging himself with the spectacular roads and trails in Aspen and Snowmass.
David is a devoted philanthropist, and is President of the Baer Family Foundation. He’s active in many charities and local organizations with a strong stake in Aspen Jewish Congregation, Chabad of Aspen, Golshim L’Chaim Ski to Live, AICF American Israeli Cultural Foundation, Federation of South Palm Beach County, and many more worthy programs.
David has built his reputation on a commitment to always focusing his efforts on the goals and needs of his clients, making buying and selling real estate with him a very personalized experience. He brings sound knowledge, seasoned wisdom, and incredible attention to detail to handle even the most complex transactions.

Testimonials
“My wife, Katherine, invested in several properties in Aspen. Based on her experience with multiple brokers & property managers....she kept looking for a better ‘fit’. Until she met David Baer. He was literally ‘as good as it gets’ in her view. I agree. David is smart, listens, provides strategies and then implements remodeling , interior design and furnishings required to rent or sale properties in a (very) competitive market.”
James H. – Seller and Buyer, Ohio
“David knows Aspen! He managed to find me an amazing place for under market value, which never happens in Aspen. It was the first place we looked at and thank goodness he educated me on what’s available or I would have missed the opportunity. Had I waited one week my rent would have been $1,400 more for a space outside the core. His knowledge made it an easy decision and we had a blast in the process. He genuinely cares and makes your happiness his priority! I highly highly recommend David!!!”
Nicola S. – Tenant
“I thoroughly enjoyed working with David Baer to help us secure an incredible rental property in Aspen. From the moment i spoke with David, he immediately understood our requirements and provided us with amazing rental options. The house he recommended to us surpassed all of our expectations. David is very professional, attentive, has a keen eye for real estate, and helped us navigate this process seamlessly. I look forward in working with him in the future.”
Albert S. – New York
“David is an absolute excellent broker for either your business needs or personal housing needs. Our company needed both spaces, and David was extremely quick and efficient to help us. He listened to what I needed, gave accurate advice, and knows Aspen Realty. He is extremely honest about what you would be getting in the town and what your other potential options could be. In a housing market like Aspen, you need someone who is honest and cares about you. He is a broker that is on your side! I would highly recommend David to anyone that is seriously interested in renting, leasing, or purchasing either commercial or residential. He is knowledgeable in both markets and is an absolute joy to be around.”
Valentina – New York

Our real estate development division comprises several different components, such as the acquisition of land and real estate, examination and creation of building law, equity and debt capital procurement, but also the marketing and leasing of completed projects. The aim is to further develop a property or a plot of land in order to increase its value. This means that we at Engel & Völkers Developments accompany the project development from the very beginning and work together with developers, architects and investors, among others, to develop the best possible capital from your real estate project.

Effective Pricing Strategy
To find the ideal buyer for a home, it must be exposed to a large, relevant audience of potential buyers. Because Engel & Völkers has shops and advisors spanning the globe, there are no boundaries to the exposure we can provide for your property. The market has a direct impact on the amount of attention a home will receive based on its listed price.
Pricing above market value will get the attention of fewer potential buyers, while pricing at or slightly below market value will attract more.
