I strive to provide such exceptional service that you feel compelled to recommend me to your friends, family, and neighbors—not out of obligation, but because you genuinely believe they will benefit from my expertise.

After graduation, Aaron began a journey of self-discovery. He initially pursued a career in law enforcement, taking police science classes with the ambition of working for the FBI. A change of heart led him to work in a car dealership for several years, where he honed his skills in client relations. This experience set the stage for his return to college, where he studied biology and chemistry at the University of Northern Iowa.
During his studies, he found himself drawn to the mortuary business, influenced by family members who had dedicated their lives to it. This led him to Worsham College in Chicago, where he earned his mortuary degree following graduation from the University of Northern Iowa. His professional life then took him to Memphis, Tennessee, where he served as a funeral director while his wife, Amber, completed optometry school. It was
during this time that the couple took a memorable trip to Colorado, sparking a shared dream of one day making it their home.
That dream became a reality when they moved to Loveland, and Aaron’s long-standing fascination with the unique character of homes and their construction inspired him to get his real estate license in 2017. Today, Aaron and Amber are the proud owners of Aspen Eyecare in Estes Park, where he was helping out before seizing the opportunity to join the Thompson Group full-time. He feels his experience in funeral service has uniquely prepared him to be a trusted and empathetic advisor for clients navigating the significant milestone of buying, selling or investing in real estate.
In his free time, Aaron and Amber love to travel and see family and friends. They also enjoy staying active and spending time with their two golden retrievers, Ace and Abraham. As passionate advocates for animals, they foster dogs through the Estes Park Pet Association. Aaron also enjoys working out at the Estes Valley Community Center. His decision to join the Thompson Group was a natural fit. He was drawn to the team’s collaborative, family-like atmosphere and their core belief that closing on a property is not the end, but just the beginning of a lifelong client relationship. Aaron is excited to be part of a group that prioritizes relationships and will help him take his career to the next level.

After moving to Estes Park in 2008, Karen was employed by the Town of Estes Park in the Community Development Department. In 2017, she was hired by the Estes Valley Land Trust as their Office Manager, and thoroughly enjoyed working with the many volunteers at that organization. After a sudden turnover at Scott’s office, Karen and Scott decided that Karen should be the Administrative Assistant for Scott and the newly formed Thompson Group. Although she enjoys working with The Thompson Group, her real passion lies with volunteering and helping others. Karen has volunteered for the Estes Park Rotary Duck Race every year since 2010. Karen was appointed President of the Estes Park Rotary Club for 2023-2024. She also enjoys volunteering at Summit Church.

One of her favorite ways to help clients is by helping them get their homes ready to sell. This can involve packing, cleaning, sorting, selling, and donating items at the owner’s discretion and taking care of all of those details that can easily become overwhelming when people are moving. Karen is most proud of being married to Scott for over 40 years, her kids, and summitting Longs Peak when she was 51. She loves their grandsons Conrad and Griffin, with all her heart.
