Career
I have spent 15+ years helping people make better real estate decisions across the Denver metro, with 350+ transactions through up and down markets. Not collecting transactions, learning what actually matters when someone is buying or selling something this important.
I grew up in Golden and still believe real estate is deeply local. I know these neighborhoods because I have lived in them, sold in them, and watched them change.
My approach is simple. I tell you what I see, not what you want to hear, including when not to sell. I explain tradeoffs instead of promising perfection. And I stay calm when things get complicated, because they usually do.
When the standard path does not fit, I help you consider creative and alternative solutions: holding, renting, exploring equity options with your lender, or an as-is sale. I can also explain the short sale process as market awareness, not legal, tax or credit advice. If you want someone who communicates directly and treats your decision like it matters, we should talk.

Market Awareness
Short sales are showing up in Denver Metro conversations again
Colorado short sale activity rose about 16 percent in the first quarter of 2026 and foreclosure filings are up year over year, from a very low base. Here is a plain reference on what a short sale is, how it differs from foreclosure and deed in lieu, and which Colorado forms apply.
