Park City real estate
Buying a home in Park City
Buying a home in Park City or Deer Valley is a major decision, and it deserves the same unhurried advice you would expect for any long-term plan. We begin with the life you want here, then guide the neighborhood, the checks, and the terms of the offer. Luxury homes on the Wasatch Back are chosen with that kind of considered care.
How we advise on luxury homes
1. The life the house has to support
A primary home and a second home ask for different things, and so do a ski season, a golf season, and life in a private club. We talk through how often you will be here, who the house is for, and what a good week should feel like. That conversation becomes the guidance for the search.
2. Park City real estate, Deer Valley, and the Wasatch Back
Promontory, Talisker and Tuhaye, Hideout, Jeremy Ranch, Canyons Village, and Old Town are each their own market, just as Deer Valley stands apart within the Wasatch Back. We help you toward the community that fits the life you described, whether that is a club village, a ski address, or a house closer to town. Where a club is part of the decision, membership terms are confirmed directly with that club.
3. Checks before you make an offer
Before an offer, we read the association documents, the rental rules, and the membership details that travel with the house, then arrange the inspections the property calls for. We introduce inspectors we trust on these homes, and you decide whom to hire. What we learn together shapes the advice that follows.
4. Public listings and off-market access
Public inventory is on the MLS and on our listings page, and alongside it we look for off-market luxury homes that trusted relationships can introduce before they are widely shown. That mix of the open market and private access is how the search stays complete.
5. Negotiation, with you
When it is time to write, we represent you on price, inclusions, timing, and the approvals that still belong in the contract, whether that is furnishings, a guest cottage, or a club application. You see the reasoning behind each recommendation, and the decision stays with you. The aim is an agreement that looks after the long-term value of the house.
6. After closing
The advisor who began with you stays through closing and remains available after the deed is recorded. If the next step calls for a builder, a lender, or an attorney, we make the introduction from relationships we already trust. Looking after the decision is part of the relationship.
A plain buyer guide

Questions, answered
How do you advise someone buying a home in Park City?
We start with the life the house needs to support, whether that is a primary residence, a second home, a ski season, or a private club. From there we match the neighborhood to that life and shape a considered plan before an offer is written. The same advisor stays with you through closing.
Is Deer Valley the same decision as a club community?
Deer Valley, Canyons Village, and the club communities are each their own market, and the advice follows the setting. A ski address is shaped by the association and the mountain, while Promontory, Talisker and Tuhaye, Hideout, and Jeremy Ranch are chosen for the way you want to live there. In every case the guidance is personal.
What do the checks before an offer include?
We review the association and HOA documents, the rental rules, and the membership details when a club is part of the purchase. Inspections come next, with introductions to people we trust for properties of this kind. What we find becomes part of the advice before you write.
Who represents you through closing?
Nick Melilli, Marcie Davis, Darrick Olsen, or Derek Fossey stays with you from the first conversation through closing, and for the questions that follow. You hear from the same advisor throughout, which keeps the plan coherent. When you need a builder, a lender, or an attorney, the introduction comes from that same relationship.
Do you look beyond the public market?
Yes. We follow the homes on the MLS and on our listings page, and we also inquire through relationships we already have when a house may be shown privately. Off-market access sits beside the open market, so the search can include both. The right home is the one that fits the plan you and your advisor have written.
