Living Room agents honor this special heart connection while using our professional expertise to ensure you get the absolute highest sales price.

Case Studies
SOLD in Skyland
After a huge remodel, the @RogandWilco team pushed hard to finish up 2900 Monroe and @Sagewoodinteriors worked through the koas to get the home staged for our listing deadline. In Denver, the first weekend on the market is critical and we were prepared for an influx. We had 24 showings, 2 open houses, and ended up collecting 5 offers by Monday. The winning offer was a wonderful couple who walked into the open house and fell in love. They didn’t have an agent and I was able to work with them directly to get through inspection and appraisal issues. Through the process of remodeling this home, I must admit I got a little attached so it helped me to know that this home will be very well loved and I’m excited to have new neighbor friends.
Transferring to Idaho
Tyler called me seeking some advice about renting his home. Covid was forcing his family to move. It didn’t seem feasible to make a profit after owning the home for only two years. However, I found that they had plenty of equity. We spiffed the place up with some beautiful staging and got $10K over asking the first weekend with multiple offers. With no major improvements, their value had gone up to $60K in two short years. Tyler and his family were able to sell, cash out on their equity, and purchase a new home in Idaho – a market experiencing a big boom where he hopes the next two years will bring them the same good fortune.
SOLD in Skyland
After a four-month rehab, this beauty attracted a buyer the first weekend on the market. We received multiple offers but went with an all-cash offer, $5000 over the asking price, that closed in only two weeks. ⠀⠀

Cute Condo in Lakewood
This homeowner was the type of seller every agent wants to work with! She painted the cabinets white before we listed – greatly elevating the whole living space. They did an outstanding job decluttering and allowing showings. The seller stepped up during inspection and replaced the furnace when the buyer was not negotiable. Smooth as butter, we sold this home as planned for the asking price and matched the seller’s timeline perfectly. Everything is bigger in Texas, including the homes! Safe travels and enjoy all your new space!⠀
Uptown Denver
Coloradoan Condo
Congratulations to my sellers! They put a contract on this unit presale before construction on the Coloradoan had finished and closed this condo less than one year ago for $315K. Today it sold in the midst of the Covid19 outbreak for $375K making them a sweet little profit in one years time. It was a win-win situation because another owner in the building needed a safe place for her elderly mother to stay during this crazy time. We signed the contract on Wednesday and her mom was able to move into the fully furnished condo on Friday and we closed in less than two weeks.
$1.925M in Capital Hill
In 2017 I had the opportunity to sit down with Joan about potentially listing her property, unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance. She did list, but fortunately for me the agent who took the listing was not able to sell the property for 1.9M. I stayed in touch with the owner, a women who truly inspires me. I invited her to speak on a panel showcasing inspirational women in real estate. In late 2019 she decided to list again and she gave me the chance to sell the property for her. This was my first multifamily (eight unit) property so I enlisted the help of Conner Pirretti with Calibrate Real Estate, a professional who specialized in multifamily in the Capital Hill area. Together we guided Joan through an easy sale and got her $1.925M after only being on the market two weeks. The deal weathered the Corona Virus pandemic and closed without a hitch. We are excited for Joan to finally enjoy a wonderful retirement!
Multiple Offers on Monday
This family has two kids and a very busy lifestyle. They did an amazing job getting thier home ready to sell. Many didn’t realize that they were still living in the home. There was an incredible listing video that showed how dynamic the property was – including the guest house in the back and proximity to Sloan’s Lake. We launched with fanfare. I was able to execute exactly as promised. Multiple offers on Monday morning and my clients were able to pick the offer that allowed a quick close. It was imperative it was under contract on week one because of their replacement property. SOLD and closed within three weeks. Excited to see them move in to their new property this month.
February Blizzard
We started talking about listing this property in May of 2019. The strategy was to prepare all of the marketing, including photos and videos so that it was done and ready when they found their replacement home. They pulled a home equity line of credit to use as a bridge loan when they found the right house. We made multiple offers and we were finally able to secure their dream house in January of 2020. It worked out just as we planned. The weekend we went on the market it was in the middle of a February blizzard. It was such a bonus that we had the marketing material done from the summer and were able to showcase the beauty of the exterior in full bloom. This house was under contract in five days. We accepted an offer from an unrepresented buyer and I developed a close relationship with the buyer through the process. The seller and I are excited to hand over this home to such a kind and wonderful person who will love it as much as they have. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Holiday Hustle
My clients have mad hustle! On Dec. 23rd, all the pieces came together on a fantastic opportunity for these sellers to purchase an off-market home through a friend. The only problem… we needed to list their condo by January 1st and have it under contract by January 6th. So on Christmas Eve, the seller’s busted butt to declutter and stage in ONE DAY before they left town on Christmas Day and did not return until after the home was under contract. Another problem: there were two of the exact same unit currently for sale in the community!!! Yikes, I was a little worried but confident in my marketing process. While both my clients and I were out of town the home was painted and cleaned. We hit the market on January 1st with a bang and received two full-priced offers by Monday. I helped them get through inspection and we closed according to plan. Most importantly, the sale of this home netted my client a major gain that boosted him and his fiancé into an exceptional home. Nice work, we pulled it off like pros!
Patience Pays Off
In 2017 Warren decided he wanted to sell his home and engaged us to advise him. After closely examining comps, we gave a list of recommendations. One year later in 2018. Warren had done everything Kassidy recommended and was ready to say goodbye to his property and hello to a carefree mountain lifestyle. The house was flawless! We listed at the high end of comparable properties and received a cash offer $5K over asking right way. We advised Warren, be patient and it paid off when we got an even better offer $11K over asking!
Inspection Objection Leads to a Price Increase
We work closely with an investor client who remodels outdated homes, making them move-in ready and safe for first time homebuyers. As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday one of these homes had been sitting on the market for 45 days and it was extremely important for the investor to get an offer. A strategic price decrease incentivised an offer right away. Inspection presented major problems, the home needed a new roof and new boiler… almost $15K worth of repairs and the buyers would not budge. Days of negotiation saved the deal and resulted in the seller getting an additional $9K net on the purchase price. With the price increase the buyers got a brand new roof and boiler installed and were able to move-in to the home before Christmas!
Grandma’s House
Agnes had been in her home for 20 years, but could no longer care for her beloved garden. Her family was extremely relieved when she independently made the decision it was time to sell. As the mother of six children, she had plenty of help through the process. We took special care to coordinate and communicate with grandma in person and keep all six siblings up-to-date throughout the transaction. Once Agnes was moved out, her dated home was transformed with a staging and new paint. After 38 showings, we received four offers. The strongest offer flopped right after we signed, but we negotiated the same price with a backup offer while insulating grandma from the drama of the woes. Two days before closing during a sewer line repair, we discovered two septic tanks in the backyard! Our strong relationship with the sewer repair company came through to save the day at the last moment and we closed on time. Agnes grew up during the Great Depression lived frugally her entire life. At the ripe age of 88, for the first time Agnes is 100% financially secure and her children can rest easy knowing she is well cared for in a wonderful community.
