Corky Christoff Jaster:


Corky is a true Colorado native who loves the outdoors. She was born at Grand Forks AFB in North Dakota before her family returned to Colorado when she was 6 months old. She grew up skiing, swimming, and hiking, and even became a certified ski instructor, swim instructor, and lifeguard in high school and college. These days, she still enjoys hiking and swimming, but she's put her skiing days behind her (she tried snowboarding once, but it didn't go well).


After graduating from CU Boulder with a degree in business administration, Corky worked in human resources and data analytics. In 2021, she rejoined the mortgage industry with her brother, John. She loves helping people achieve their dreams of homeownership, and she's known for her dedication, hard work, and commitment to her clients.

Corky spends several weeks in Florida every year, visiting her daughters and grandchildren. She loves spending time in the sun, swimming in the ocean, and playing with her grandchildren. While she is working in Florida, she always comes back to Colorado refreshed and ready to work hard.
