What Clients Are Saying

"We met Chad approximately one year after speaking to him briefly about wanting to sell our property. We had lived in our home for 40 years and felt that we needed to move primarily because it took too much time, energy and money to keep the property looking the way we wanted it to and we began to feel like it was more of a burden than a joy. We decided to ask Chad to list the house because we were so impressed that after our initial conversation with him, he didn’t call us monthly to put pressure on us to hurry up and make up our minds about listing, he communicated with us by sending his monthly newsletter to say, “You’re still on my radar and I would love to work with you.” From the beginning, we were impressed by Chad’s natural way of making you feel like you’d known him forever. He never made us feel like we needed to have things all figured out in order to start making plans for what turned out to be, a much more intense process that either of us realized. We found that there are always kinks, even in the best of plans and Chad was always there with 2 or 3 suggestions for contractors who were quite capable of helping with a plumbing problem, a rotten deck that needs fixing or a painter who can drop everything to do your job. He just seemed to have an answer for everything and made the repairs feel more than achievable. We had a very long curb on our property that needed painting and Chad actually showed up at our house the next morning with paintbrush in hand. He really did paint it!!! After living in our home for 40 years, we were a little rusty on how real estate works in this era. Chad suggested that we get pre-approved for a loan even before we found anything to buy. My husband got all the paperwork in order and his hard work really paid off. Chad was there with suggestions on making appropriate offers and how to counter offer if needed. We now have a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood and we are quite pleased with having a new friend. We would highly recommend Chad for any real estate transactions"

"We have had the pleasure of working with Chad 2 different times, first as buyers and then as sellers. We moved to CO as part of a relocation with my employer. Chad was experienced in corporate relocations and had no issues navigating the paperwork and hurdles that are sometimes associated with such transactions. We initially worked with Chad while living out of state and he was very responsive in sharing listings as well as his knowledge of the areas we were considering. After moving to Colorado and with Chad's guidance we eventually found the right house for our family. He was able to get the offer in right away and gave guidance on what it might take for our offer to be accepted. Our offer stood out to the seller and we got the house of our dreams thanks to Chad! Fast forward 9 months and another relocation was in front of us. We immediately consulted with Chad and decided to go ahead and list before the rest of the market took off for the season. Chad enlisted an amazing photographer and worked to ensure they would capture the essence of our beautiful mountain home with its stunning views. He was also able to help us in pricing our recently purchased home in such a high-demand market. As a result we had offers within a few hours of going live that were WAY over list. Chad was able to help us navigate through the offers and move forward with no issues or delays. He ensured our buyers were buttoned up and as a result we were able to close in just a few short weeks. We're now off to our new home and are so appreciative of Chad and his professionalism, expertise, sense of humor, but most of all his friendship! Thank you Chad for all you have done for us in Colorado!"

"Chad is a neighbor and friends of ours of about four years, and choosing him as our realtor for this recent Denver home purchase was an easy decision. He grew up in the area and knows the neighborhoods extremely well, plus in our conversations with him realize that he has become a real expert in every aspect of the real estate market. We needed to purchase a home for our daughter and grandson, and so between budget, good schools and neighborhood, we had some fairly tight requirements, which in the current market made staying on top of every new home that came on the market very critical. Chad worked closely with us and together we found what looked to be the perfect property, and this is where his expertise really kicked in, getting a top notch home inspection done and walking us through the property noting in detail it's strengths and a few shortcomings. This is a very desirable property and it would have been easy to lose it to another bidder but Chad closed the deal successfully at our target price. He negotiated with the seller and had some major repairs done at their expense, got us new appliances where needed, and in general made the property totally move-in ready and in perfect condition. I've been recommending Chad to our friends who are in the market and trust that they'll receive the same level of professionalism and friendly, dedicated helpfulness that we experienced."
