Serving real estate buyers and sellers in the Yampa Valley since 2005, The Stempel Group are partners in The Group Real Estate, a locally owned, full-service real estate brokerage in business for over 25 years. Elise Hendricks joined Sue and Bo Stempel in September 2022, expanding The Stempel Group to continue to provide extraordinary client-focused customer service.
Originally from Texas and Ohio respectively, Bo and Sue Stempel have called Colorado home for the last 40 years. After numerous road trips on the lookout for a new hometown in the mountains, in 2005 they played in a tennis tournament in Steamboat and moved here 9 months later with their son Wyatt. It was no surprise when they easily fell into the outdoor Steamboat lifestyle of skiing, hiking, biking, camping, trail running, tennis, etc.
The completely unexpected and profound discovery was that real estate as a profession allowed them to find personal and professional fulfillment through the relationships that they developed with our clients. In fact, they laugh about the process of folks going from client to ‘friend’ to friend.
While they both have extensive knowledge of single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, ranches, land, and fractional ownerships, Bo has additional expertise in the unique issues involved in rural property including equestrian facilities, livestock, water, wells, septic systems, fencing, barns, outbuildings, hunting and fishing, and he loves nothing more than walking the land.
Born in Chicago, but raised in Fort Worth, Elise gained her love of the mountains early on while on many family vacations in Breckenridge. After graduating from University of North Texas in 2017 with a BS Business Admin degree, she made her move to Steamboat Springs to pursue her dreams of mountain living.
Elise joined The Group Real Estate first as the Marketing/Front Desk Assistant. As she became more intrigued with the business of real estate, she decided to continue her education and earned her real estate license. She accepted the Transaction Coordinator position in 2019, working closely with all the agents, and acquired a strong foundation of the contractual side of the real estate business. Elise is excited to bring her contract experience as well as her strong work ethic and organizational skills to all her future clients. She promises to be professional and make the real estate experience a positive one.

As new residents to Steamboat, Sue and Bo helped us purchase a primary residence. From first introduction to closing, they were compassionate, capable and available 24/7. They have a deep knowledge of not just the neighborhoods of Steamboat, but of the history and development arc of the community. The house we purchased was new construction, and Sue spent hundreds (literally) of hours working with us to make sure every detail, every punch list item, and every sub contractor met our needs and timeline. I would recommend them for any home purchase in Steamboat, from a one bedroom condo to large scale complex projects. They have the knowledge, experience and patience to handle everything from first time home buyers to high net worth families with multiple homes.
Extremely knowledgeable, helpful and a joy to work with. Bo and Susan truly care about their clients and go above and beyond to ensure their clients' satisfaction. We couldn't be more pleased with their service and are proud now to be able to call them friends.
They were very helpful with everything during the whole process . Very nice people. I’d be very happy to refer them to anyone wanting to either buy or sell .
Sue and Bo are two of the most caring people I know, and their professionalism is beyond measure. They have helped us with the sale of two homes and the purchase of one. None of those transactions was easy, but thanks to Sue's and Bo's diligence and experience, they got it done.
Sue and Bo work hard for their clients, and they're very communicative. I always know how the process is proceeding. If I have questions, they are answered quickly and thoroughly. If I don't understand something, they explain it clearly. Sue and Bo go above and beyond to make the transaction a good experience. I'll gladly recommend them to anyone in need of excellent Realtors.
Great communication. Great transaction. Thank you.
Bo and Sue are absolutely incredible on every front. They made the home selling process easy and were extremely knowledgeable about the local market and how to maximize our homes value. Due to their strategic marketing and planning we ended up closing over $80k our original asking price. Thank you Stempel’s!
All because of our fantastic agent, Bo Stemple. He's honest, smart and was a pleasure to work with!
Sue was excellent to work with - thorough, thoughtful, well organized, and made things easy for us.
