Stirling Peak restructures, renames management division
Stirling Peak Properties said in a statement that it has “officially endorsed” and restructured its property-management-service division and is calling it Stirling Management.
Stirling Peak Properties was formed in 2012 from two of Aspen’s longest-standing real estate firms, Stirling Homes and Peak Properties. While both were focused on real estate sales and vacation rentals, it was Stirling Homes that had a legacy of property management dating back to 1978.
The restructuring of the management division has been in the works since the merger, but officially began when Travis Bourgeois joined the partnership team of Dawnette Smith and Bill Stirling in 2013. Bourgeois is at the helm of daily operations to ensure a successful transition, the statement said.
“We are becoming an effective force in the industry by focusing solely on management,” Stirling said in the statement. “We are leveraging the synergistic relationship with Stirling Peak Properties and our reputation to grow at a pace that is commensurate with our ability to deliver superb, personalized service.”
The name of the organization became Stirling Management, employing the history, quality and brand recognition of Stirling Homes’ history, the statement said. The management company’s long-term goals are not to be the biggest but to be the most thorough and service-oriented management company in Aspen.
