Dane Matthew

Known to many as “Great” Dane Matthew, Dane brings a lifetime of service, unmatched local knowledge, and a deep love for Colorado’s Front Range mountains to every real estate journey. Originally from rural Iowa, Dane spent years dreaming of the Colorado wilderness during family ski trips to Winter Park. After serving 20 years in the U.S. Air Force and living around the world, he made that dream a reality when he retired to Colorado in 2009 and made the Front Range mountains his home.

Dane has worn many hats in his career. He has served as an Air Force community programs director, Colorado Park Ranger, emergency preparedness leader, firefighter, and executive director of the Clear Creek Metropolitan Recreation District. He has also contributed his time on numerous local boards, helping to shape the quality of life in Clear Creek and surrounding areas. His connection to the region goes far beyond the professional. He has hiked, biked, and explored nearly every mountain pass, and he knows firsthand what it takes to live, work, and thrive in the rugged beauty of this unique area.

Now, as a real estate agent with Mountain Homes Realty, Dane applies his deep experience to help buyers and sellers make confident, informed decisions. Whether you are searching for a quiet cabin retreat, a family home in the mountains, or a base for year-round adventure, Dane’s insight, integrity, and dedication are key to your success.

He lives in the Denver Metro area with his wife and young children and spends as much time as possible in the mountains he loves. With two grown children who graduated from the Clear Creek School District, Dane is proud to help others find the same sense of home.

Dane’s mission is simple. He turns Colorado mountain dreams into reality, one peak at a time.
