Missy Crossland



Introduction
Buying or selling a home in Copper Mountain isn’t just a real estate transaction — it’s about designing the next chapter of your life in the mountains. I’m Missy Crossland, a longtime Summit County local, Copper Mountain Ambassador, and real estate broker with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. I specialize in guiding retirees and soon-to-be retirees to homes that fit their lifestyle, priorities, and vision for this next season of life — right here in Copper Mountain, Colorado.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Why Work With Me
Retirement-Focused Expertise: I specialize in helping retirees and those planning retirement find homes that balance comfort, accessibility, and long-term financial sense.



Local Knowledge: After years of living and playing in Summit County, I understand the nuances of Copper Mountain — from the best ski access to the quietest corners for a peaceful retreat.



Backed by LIV Sotheby’s: I’m supported by a brokerage known for its professionalism, global reach, and powerful marketing resources, which means smoother transactions and a better experience for you.



Relationship-Driven: My favorite part of this work is the friendships that form as we navigate each step together. Those bonds are built on trust, communication, and truly listening to your goals.



Live-In Spaces First: I love homes that prioritize the spaces you actually use — open kitchens, welcoming family rooms, and functional home offices — over formal rooms that rarely see any real life.



Guidance in a Changing Market: My goal over the coming months is to help you understand this evolving real estate market so you can confidently reach your personal and financial goals in retirement.

Luxury Living in Copper Mountain


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Copper Mountain offers a unique blend of resort energy and small-mountain-town ease. For retirees and second-home owners, it’s a place where you can step out your door and be on the slopes, the rec path, or the golf course in minutes — and still feel like you’re part of a close-knit community.

Whether you’re looking for a low-maintenance lock-and-leave condo, a slope-side residence for visiting family, or a quiet home office with mountain views, Copper Mountain delivers a lifestyle that feels like play every day. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find my husband and me snowboarding in the winter or sailing on Lake Dillon in the summer — living the same mountain lifestyle I help my clients step into.



Neighborhoods I Serve
Breckenridge: Historic charm meets world-class skiing

Frisco: Central hub with small-town character

Silverthorne: Mountain modern growth and breathtaking vistas
