“Stewart’s knowledge of the Telluride real estate market was invaluable. His business background was evident – for instance, he predicted the recent price increases very early. And perhaps most important, he knows what out-of-state buyers like us want and haven’t considered.”
Linda and Ken W., Dallas, TX – Telluride Home Purchase
After completing his high school education at Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas, Stewart attended the University of Texas at Austin receiving a BBA in Accounting in 1986. He practiced accounting for five years and became a licensed CPA. Stewart returned to the University of Texas and earned an MBA, graduating with honors and a specialization in Finance in 1994.
Stewart was recruited by Enron Corporation while he was in business school. He worked with the company for nine years, and became Vice President in less than five years. He started as an associate, performing detailed market analysis and complex computer modeling. Stewart soon moved into a lead developer position of large industrial real estate projects, where he negotiated highly structured transactions with large international companies. One of the transactions negotiated by Stewart is the subject of a Harvard Business School case study because of its innovation in the European marketplace.
Stewart has been engaged in the Telluride real estate market since 2002. He has been a real estate broker with Telluride Sotheby’s International Realty for the last fourteen years.

Throughout his life, Stewart has sought out premier destinations to live, work and explore. As an adult, Stewart has lived in Washington DC, Texas, London, Madrid and now Telluride. He has had the great fortune to travel to over fifty countries. “I have seen the most amazing and beautiful places on our planet, but I have chosen the most beautiful, Telluride, to call my permanent home.”
Stewart’s love for Telluride goes back to his childhood. Each year his family would leave the heat of the Texas summers for the freshness and beauty of the San Juan Mountains. He has wonderful memories of hiking, camping and learning to fly fish in the pristine mountain rivers. Stewart remembers Telluride in the early 1970’s. Each summer he and his family would drive the jeep over Black Bear pass and enjoy ice cream floats at the Old Drug Store on Main Street, the very building where he makes his office today.
