Sandy Cooper

Sandy has been a practicing real estate broker since 1986 in Durango. Before beginning her real estate career she drove a school bus for the Durango school district. A job she says taught her all the roads in the county, as you have never been so lost as having 65 kids sitting behind you that have no idea the route to school but can find their way home in a heartbeat. She spent 18 years at the local Coldwell Banker before taking on the job of managing broker at Bobbie Carll Realty. During her time there the brokerage increased from 3 satellite offices with 10 brokers to 5 satellite offices and 30 brokers. The Durango office was “mother earth”, with Mancos, Bayfield, Silverton and Ignacio completing the galaxy. After a short stint at a local title company she jumped head first into the foreclosure business which was flourishing at that time. Then being “saved” by Keller Williams Realty Southwest Associates in Durango she took on the Supervising Broker position. She now also teaches the Pre License course for American Dream Real Estate School and she holds designations including CRS, CRB, GRI, CMRE, SRES as well as the following certifications, e-PRO, CNE and EcoBroker. 

She has 3 grown children that have generously given her 19 grandchildren and 1 great. She says if she had known how much fun grands were she would have avoided all that other hard stuff of raising their parents. When she is not teaching or saving new brokers from “real estate jail” you can find her with her Service Animal, Baylee Cooper (Border Collie) and they will be cooking from her authentic 1890 chuck wagon, driving her team of mules (Sunny and Breezy), camping in her remodeled trailer, sewing, knitting, painting, gardening, fishing or just watching the Colorado sunset (but rarely the sunrise).
