Montgomery, Alabama native Ben Jackson has made Telluride his home for 34 years.  His long-standing history began in Telluride when he opened Freewheelin’ Bike & Board in 1990, one of the first snowboard-specific shops in the United States. Since then, Ben has been deeply engaged in the entrepreneurial evolution of Telluride and developed numerous projects in Telluride and the Mountain Village, with the largest development in Ridgway, Colorado, Ridgway Business Park-River Park P.U.D. 

He’s cultivated 30 years of real estate relationships and is an expert at representing buyers and sellers. His philosophy is to use meaningful market knowledge and close relationships within the real estate community to ensure his buyers get the best properties for the best price and his sellers maximize their real estate assets.

JW Group’s marketing analytics and execution of digital media campaigns is their secret weapon. This is why JW Group is consistently at the top of annual sales in the area. Ben has been one of TREC’s Top Brokers and remains a top Telluride and FORBES GLOBAL PROPERTIES broker and producer.

Ben is the only Telluride broker who is also a residential developer. Ben has built several “custom” speculation homes in the Town of Telluride over the last 20 plus years.  Ben has a top tier of builders, consultants, attorneys, and architects in the region that he has excellent working relationships with. If you are considering a “project,” you will be selling yourself short if you do not contact Ben before you purchase a lot or a residence needing some TLC.    

Ben’s business is made from referrals from satisfied clients who have become friends.   His accessibility, services, and knowledge of the area do not end when the transaction closes.
