Tom and Elaine, both fifth-generation Coloradans, initially established Shavano Intelligence Solutions in Maryland, providing geospatial, environmental, and national security intelligence products while also advising local health authorities during the coronavirus pandemic. After moving back to Colorado, they built their dream home in Buena Vista’s upper Arkansas Valley. Tom engaged deeply with local government and community service, while Elaine pursued her artistic ambitions. In 2024, they refocused their business as Shavano Intelligence Consulting, aimed at filling gaps in the relocation services market by providing detailed, unbiased information based on their first-hand experience and professional expertise.

Shavano Intelligence Consulting now offers comprehensive, personalized relocation intelligence for Southern Colorado, from Aspen to Alamosa and Telluride to Trinidad. The company addresses the shortcomings of traditional relocation services, which are often biased and lack detailed information. Shavano stands out by leveraging Tom’s extensive experience in planning, zoning, and environmental impacts, providing valuable data to prospective homebuyers, land investors, and small businesses. This ensures that clients can make well-informed decisions about relocating to or investing in this region, benefiting from the natural beauty and recreational opportunities it offers while navigating the local real estate and business landscapes effectively.
