What Clients Are Saying

"Brad was amazing with both, selling and buying our homes. Brad showed us homes for about a year, I knew exactly what I wanted and wasn't going to sacrifice; he showed patience and was always available to us for showings. We did things a little backwards, Brad negotiated a contingent offer without our home yet on the market, all during a very competitive time. Once we were under contract, Brad was ready to get our home listed. We missed the peak of the market by a month and Brad was ready with the correct advice and pricing strategy, we made one price correction and got an offer, the rest of the sale went very smoothly and we closed on time. On the purchase, we ran into a few hiccups and Brad's experience allowed us all to have composure and move through them with ease. During a time where most buyers were paying the difference between appraisal and purchase price, Brad was able to negotiate a new purchase price at the appraised value. Brad is the best Realtor that we've worked with and highly recommend him to all of our friends and family."

Mike & Shannon A.

"Brad Colburn is the best real estate agent in Denver! He is a complete professional, knows the different neighborhood markets very well, understands how to market a home, has practical advice all day long, knows everyone you need for help getting your house ready for the market, gives rational, sound advice on pricing and how to respond to offers, and a fun person to be around as well! I have recommended him to friends several times, and they all think he's the best too!"

Jeff & Kathy K.

"We initially met Brad at an open house. We were casually looking at the time and we’re planning to use the Redfin agent who sold us our condo. We appreciated that Brad didn’t give us any kind of sales pitch, but rather had a casual conversation with us. He followed up with us four days later and we decided to move forward given a small dip in market. After the listing appointment, the very next day, Brad had a professional photographer out and then two days later, our condo was listed. It sold within four days over asking with multiple offers. When it came to buying our home, he was always super responsive and made sure we didn’t settle for something because of us selling our place and inventory being low. He had our back and best interest the entire time, we never had anything to worry about. We loved our experience with Brad and referred one of our friends! Don’t hesitate to work with him, you won’t regret it!"

Kyle & Kelci H.
