Did you know that Denver is one of the hottest - if not the hottest - real estate markets in the entire country?

Right now if you want to buy a home listed between $250,000 and $450,000, you can expect that home to have up to 20 offers. What resources are available to you to ensure that you’re working with the most qualified agent to handle the buying of your home? How do you know your Realtor is the best?


Terradatum uses broker metrics to 
track an agent’s success rate.

You have to verify their history. In the real estate industry, there is a program called Terradatum - or broker metrics - that tracks real estate professionals’ transactions and closings. In Denver, there are over 17,000 licensed Realtors. Out of that number, how many do you think closed two buyers a month, or helped two families a month buy or sell a home over the last year? Only 175, or 1% of all the Realtors in Denver. This means that there is a 99% chance that the person you’re working with is probably not the best option to handle the most important transaction of your life.

According to the Denver Post, the average price of a home in the Denver metro area in April was over $400,000. That means at 6% commission, you’ll be paying your agent over $24,000. All the more reason you need to find the best. It doesn’t cost you any more than working with the other 99%. The only thing stopping you from finding the best real estate agents is knowing how to vet them all.

Fortunately, my team works with many of these select 175 individuals. What I’d like you to do is get in touch with me by phone or email and tell me what kind of home in which part of town you’re looking to buy or sell. I’d be more than happy to share that list of the top 1% with you so you can decide who’s the best for your family.
