Originally from Peekskill, New York, Steve Cardinale came to Vail in 1976 as a school teacher. He never envisioned that in 1979 he would begin his real estate career and ultimately become one of the elite residential brokers in the Vail Valley. Out of nearly 110 Slifer, Smith & Frampton brokers, Steve ranked the 6th Top Producer in 2017. He has consistently been in the top 10 or top 20 brokers at Slifer, Smith & Frampton for 17 of the past 21 years. In the past 16 years he has participated in over 1,000 transactions totaling over $346 million.  With over 40 years of experience selling residential real estate, this certainly makes him one of the top brokers in the Vail Valley. Steve is also the Branch Broker for all Slifer, Smith and Frampton real estate offices in Beaver Creek.

Steve is well known for successfully listing and selling luxury mountain resort properties, high-end fractional ownership, and everything in between. He has been the listing broker for two residential developments in the prestigious neighborhood of Arrowhead and was also the listing broker for East West Partners at The Residences at Park Hyatt Beaver Creek offering luxury fractional ownership.

Steve resides in the Singletree community of Edwards with his wife, Mo. He enjoys tennis, biking, motorcycle touring and spending time with his family, especially with his grandsons, Mason and Otto.
