Originally from Peekskill, Steve Cardinale Sr. came to the Vail Valley in 1976. He began his real estate career in 1979 and quickly established himself as one of the area’s leading residential brokers with Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate. Steve is known for representing luxury mountain homes, ski properties, high-end fractional ownership, and a wide range of real estate throughout Vail, Beaver Creek, and the surrounding communities.
Clients value Steve for his deep knowledge of the Vail Valley real estate market, approachable style, eagerness to help, and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. As a trusted advisor, he understands the personal nature and complexities of buying and selling mountain property and is honored to help clients achieve their goals while creating lifelong memories in the community he calls home. Steve was a Top Producer in 2025, as well as each of the previous 13 years, and was the proud recipient of the 2024 Slifer Award for Team Spirit, voted on by his peers. He was ranked #18 in Colorado by RealTrends America’s Best for exemplary sales production and consistently ranks among the top-producing brokers at Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate. Over his career, Steve has participated in more than 1,500 transactions totaling over $500 million in sales volume.
This long and successful track record led Steve to become Branch Broker for six Beaver Creek Resort offices, where he mentors more than 35 brokers while continuing to serve his clients with the highest level of professionalism and customer service. Steve regularly goes above and beyond for both his clients and colleagues and is always just a quick phone call or text away; whether you need trusted real estate guidance, local recommendations, or insight into the best places to dine, explore, and enjoy mountain living.
Steve resides in the Singletree community of Edwards with his wife, Mo. He enjoys tennis/pickleball, biking, motorcycle touring, and spending time with his family, especially his grandsons, Mason and Otto.
