A brief history of Frias Properties of Aspen
CHUCK FRIAS PLANTS ROOTS IN ASPEN IN 1974
Originally from Dartmouth, Mass., Chuck drove his car over Independence Pass in 1974 and landed in Aspen for good. His first foray into property management was as a housekeeper for Coates Reid Waldron, the largest property management company in Aspen. Chuck became a property manager the next year and continued in this capacity for the next 11 years, earning his stripes on the front lines of the property management and vacation rental industries.
In 1985, Chuck became a partner and vice president of operations at Aspen Club Properties, leading operations for several divisions including property management, real estate and a lodging property that became the Sky Hotel. Chuck managed these entities through a company sale and eventually bought the remaining interests in 1998. With his comprehensive experience in every aspect of Aspen real estate and property management, he started the company that is now Frias Properties.
Today Chuck is very active in the daily operations of Frias Properties, focusing on real estate sales and company-wide marketing. With a deep love of the Aspen community, Chuck has served on local charitable boards including the Aspen Chamber Resort Association, Aspen Valley Hospital, the Aspen School District Finance Board and the Aspen Lodging Association. A devoted father, husband, skier, golfer and biker, Chuck lives in the Meadowood neighborhood with his family.
TIM CLARK GROWS FRIAS PROPERTIES OF ASPEN
In August of 2000, Tim Clark merged his company, Aspen Classic Properties, with Chuck's to form Frias Properties of Aspen. The two remain equal partners today. Tim, born and raised in Aspen, attended University of Colorado and built his resume in real estate, management, sales and development working with his father, a prominent Aspen attorney. He became a realtor and started managing properties for Dolomite Villas in 1988. Tim started his own management company, and he and his partners steadily acquired other Aspen-area management companies to grow his company to Aspen Classic Properties.
Tim believes deeply in the value of community involvement and has served on a variety of boards and community-based organizations, including president of the Aspen Lodging Association. Through hard work and integrity, Tim has earned the respect of the Aspen lodging and real estate community and the many buyers and sellers with whom he works.
