A.K. Schleusner

With more than 20 years of experience representing buyers and sellers throughout the Vail Valley, A.K. Schleusner is known for her extensive market knowledge, personalized service, and genuine passion for helping clients find their place in the mountains. A trusted advisor with a relationship-first approach, she has built a reputation for integrity, creativity, and delivering exceptional results across the valley's most sought-after communities.

Originally from Mountain Brook, Alabama, A.K. graduated from the University of Alabama before launching a successful career in pharmaceutical sales, biotechnology business development, marketing, corporate communications, and investor relations. Her diverse professional background, spanning more than 30 years, provides clients with a unique advantage through strategic negotiation, thoughtful communication, and a solutions-oriented approach to every transaction.

After relocating to the Vail Valley in 2002, A.K. quickly embraced the mountain lifestyle and community she now proudly calls home. While exploring opportunities in hospitality, interior design, event planning, and entrepreneurship, she realized her greatest passions were building lasting relationships and sharing everything that makes the Vail Valley such an extraordinary place to live and visit. Those passions naturally led her to real estate, where she has spent more than two decades guiding clients through one of the country's premier luxury resort markets.

Specializing in luxury residences, vacation homes, investment properties, and primary residences, A.K. combines deep local knowledge with a highly personalized approach to every client relationship. Whether helping families establish roots in the valley or assisting second-home owners and investors, she is committed to providing thoughtful guidance, creative problem-solving, and a seamless experience from beginning to end. Much of her business is built through repeat clients and referrals—a testament to the trust and lasting relationships she has cultivated throughout her career.

A longtime member of the Vail Resorts family, A.K. also enjoys teaching a limited number of days each winter at Beaver Creek Children's Ski School. Sharing her love of skiing with children and families is one of the many ways she stays connected to the community and the mountain lifestyle she loves. Her clients appreciate the insider perspective she brings—not only on the local real estate market, but on the neighborhoods, trails, rivers, restaurants, events, and experiences that make the Vail Valley unlike anywhere else.

Today, A.K. is thrilled to be part of the Vail Luxe Team at Compass alongside longtime friend and respected colleague Rebekah Zenor. After years of working together within the Vail real estate community, including their time at a local brokerage, the opportunity to reunite and combine their complementary strengths was a natural fit. Together, they are committed to delivering an elevated level of service, market expertise, and trusted representation to buyers and sellers throughout the Vail Valley.

A.K. lives in Avon and feels incredibly fortunate to call the Vail Valley home. She believes there is no greater privilege than helping clients discover not just the perfect property, but the exceptional mountain lifestyle that comes with it.
