In February 2021, a new and exciting chapter began for Southern Colorado real estate. Ed Trommeter, Broker/Owner of Town and Country Estate Realty, and Arica Andreatta, Broker/Owner of Code of the West Real Estate, proudly announced the merger of their two successful, community-driven companies.
This partnership brings together decades of experience, two trusted local brands, and a shared commitment to serving Colorado with integrity, innovation, and heart.
Founded in 2001, Town and Country Estate Realty has long been a respected leader in the region—known for its deep roots, strong client relationships, and personalized service.
Since 2016, Code of the West Real Estate has rapidly grown into one of Colorado’s most recognizable real estate brands, offering powerful marketing, a tech-forward platform, and a reputation for honest, relationship-first service.
By merging these strengths, we continue to offer the same trusted service our clients rely on, now backed by an even stronger team of knowledgeable, passionate Colorado real estate professionals.
Clients can continue working directly with the agents who have always served them—no changes, no disruptions, just enhanced support.
Along with our regional offices, business will continue seamlessly:
159 E Main St. Trinidad, CO 81082
Vacant land • Residential • Commercial • Farm & Ranch
Our combined team brings a deeper bench of specialized knowledge, giving clients a competitive edge in every market.
Code of the West’s proven marketing strategies—video, drone, digital campaigns, and statewide exposure—are now available to all Town and Country clients.
This merger allows us to represent properties with the strongest marketing platform in Southern Colorado.
The merger reflects a commitment to the values that have shaped both companies from day one:
transparency, honesty, integrity, and dedicated service.
Town and Country, now proudly operating under the Code of the West Real Estate banner, continues to stand by the principles made famous by writer Zane Grey—a compass we still follow today:
Live each day with courage.
Take pride in your work.
Always finish what you start.
Do what has to be done.
Be tough, be fair.
When you make a promise, keep it.
Ride for the brand.
Talk less and say more.
Remember that some things aren’t for sale.
Know where to draw the line.
These timeless values shape everything we do—from the way we market properties to the way we show up for our communities.
We couldn’t be more excited about this next chapter.
This merger represents more than growth—it’s a promise to our clients, our communities, and our region that we will continue to raise the bar for real estate service across Southern Colorado.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Town and Country and Code of the West over the years. We look forward to walking this new path together and building an even stronger future.
