About Andie
You might call Andie a bit of a real estate nerd—and she’d likely agree. As a licensed Certified Residential Appraiser, currently pursuing her Certified General license, she is deeply immersed in the nuances of the local market.
Over the last two decades, Andie has navigated the unique challenges of our mountain real estate market, building lasting relationships with local jurisdictions and business partners along the way. She is a member of the International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO), the Appraisal Institute, the Colorado Association of Tax Appraisers (CATA), and Vail Board of Realtors.
Her journey began in 2001. Just a month after earning her English degree from Truman State University, Andie traded Kansas City for the Valley to chase a lifelong dream of mountain living. She started as an appraisal trainee and, nearly twenty-five years later, serves as the Chief Appraiser for Eagle County.
When she isn’t serving taxpayers, you’ll likely find Andie skiing, hiking, or leaning into her role as a dedicated hockey mom and travel buddy for her husband and two sons.
Core Values
Integrity and Equitable Valuation
The cornerstone of the Assessor’s office is fairness. I am committed to ensuring that every property in Eagle County is valued accurately and equitably. By upholding the highest professional standards and state guidelines, I will ensure that the tax burden is distributed fairly across our community, maintaining the public trust through every valuation cycle.
Stability through Experience
With 25 years of service in this office, I offer unmatched institutional knowledge. I am running to provide a seamless transition and steady leadership. My goal is to protect the progress we’ve made while utilizing my deep understanding of Colorado’s complex property tax laws to navigate future challenges.
Transparent & Accessible Government
The Assessor’s office belongs to the residents of Eagle County. I believe in a government that is approachable and easy to navigate. I am committed to providing clear communication, robust customer service, and an "open door" policy to ensure every taxpayer feels heard and understood.
Why I'm Running
Expertise in a Complex Market
Eagle County’s real estate market is uniquely diverse. I am committed to the constant study of Colorado statutes and evolving appraisal regulations to ensure our office remains beyond reproach. I will prioritize the accuracy of our data—from property and ownership records to precise parcel mapping—because reliable data is the foundation for a fair system.
A Commitment to Fairness, Not Empty Promises
The Assessor’s role is governed by strict state laws, and I will not make political promises that I cannot legally or ethically keep. Instead, I promise equitable valuation. I am running to ensure every property owner is treated fairly under the law and that our processes remain transparent, defensible, and rooted in professional integrity.
Listening to Improve the Process
I believe in a government that listens. I am committed to hearing the concerns of property owners regarding their assessments and using that feedback to continuously improve our internal processes. My goal is to make the assessment cycle more accessible and understandable, ensuring that every resident feels their voice is heard and their concerns are addressed with respect and clarity.
