Q&A With Meri Stockford
Meri, we’re all very excited to have you aboard. Tell us a bit about your background- how did you find your way into real estate, marketing, and transaction coordination?
“Very excited to be aboard as well!
I earned my B.S. in Marketing and always knew I wanted to build a career connected to the outdoors and life in the West. After graduating, I moved to Breckenridge and worked for a ski company delivering skis, where I naturally gravitated toward the marketing side and gained early, hands-on experience in brand storytelling and operations.
From there, I moved into a marketing role at a real estate office in Breckenridge, where things really clicked. I didn’t expect real estate to be such a strong fit, but I quickly found I loved the combination of marketing, properties, and client relationships. That experience led me to get my real estate license and step into a role supporting a top-producing team across marketing, operations, and transaction coordination, managing deals from contract to close.
Today, my role at Confluence feels like a natural continuation of that path—combining real estate marketing, coordination, and a strong connection to the Western lifestyle, while focusing on clear communication and a smooth client experience.”
In addition to real estate, you have some experience in ranch work as well. Tell us about that.
“I grew up riding horses, primarily English and jumping, but I come from a family with deep roots in ranching and the West, so that lifestyle has always been part of my world.
During college and after, I spent summers working as a wrangler at Brush Creek Ranch in Wyoming and Mountain Sky Guest Ranch in Montana. It was my first real immersion into ranch life—long days in the saddle, working with horses daily, and getting a close look at cattle operations and the day-to-day rhythm of working land.
I’ve always been around horses, but that experience gave me a deeper respect for the consistency, responsibility, and attention to detail it takes to run a working ranch. It also strengthened my understanding of land and livestock in a way that translates directly into my work today.”
Where can our clients expect to interact with you throughout the transaction process?
"Clients can expect to hear from me early and throughout the process, especially around marketing and coordination—how properties are presented and how things move forward behind the scenes.
On the listing side, I enjoy shaping how we tell the story of a property, starting with how the client actually lives in it—what they value most, what stands out day to day, and what makes it feel special. Those details drive how we position and present it to the right audience.
On the buyer side, I help support the process from tours through contract and close, working closely with the team to keep everything organized, timely, and clear. In both cases, my focus is making sure the process feels steady, well-communicated, and fully supported from start to finish.”
At the time of preparing this article, you’ve been with CLC for about three weeks. What are some things that have jumped out to you about our brokerage in your first days here?
“What’s stood out most to me is how naturally different expertise comes together here at Confluence in a way that feels intentional without being forced. I’ve been challenged to think more broadly and approach each project with more care and direction rather than relying on a standard approach.
I’ve also appreciated being trusted to contribute early—sharing ideas, shaping direction, and collaborating across the team. There’s a strong sense of alignment here, with a focus on building something distinct and executing it consistently through both internal collaboration and client work.”
If you were buying a ranch of your own today, what would that ranch look like?
“If I were buying a ranch of my own, I’d look in either Wyoming or Colorado. It would be working land—practical, functional, and quiet once you’re on it, but still within reach of town when needed.
The focus would be good footing, usable facilities, and space to ride, train, and live with horses in a real way through all seasons. Water rights would matter, along with access to public land or long stretches of rideable country.
More than anything, it would be a place where horses are part of daily life and work—not just scenery. A place built around understanding them, working with them, and spending long days outside doing something that feels useful and grounded.”
