Are you tired of feeling like you can't trust real estate agents? You're not alone — and that's exactly why I do things differently.
If you've recently inherited a home in Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Lakewood, Englewood, or anywhere in the Southwest Denver metro, chances are you're dealing with a mix of emotion, family dynamics, and a property that may not have been updated since the 1980s. Investors are calling. Siblings have opinions. And the house is sitting there costing you money every month.
My job isn't to push you in any direction. It's to give you a completely honest picture of what the property is worth, what all your options are, and which path makes the most financial sense for your situation. Then you decide.
My Specialty
Your House Has Problems.
Your House Has Problems.
That's Exactly What I Do.
Most agents only want the easy listings in Littleton and Denver. I built my entire business around homes that other agents avoid — and I've been doing it for nearly 30 years right here in this market.
How I Help
A Clear Path Forward — Whatever You Decide
Every inherited home situation is different. Here's how I help you figure out the right next step:
Real Numbers for Every Path
As-is sale, cash offer, prep-and-list, or rent it out — I'll show you what each option actually nets so you can choose with confidence.
Investor Offer Evaluation
Investors are likely already calling you. As an active investor myself, I'll tell you whether their offers are fair — or whether you're leaving money on the table.
Trusted Trades Network
If targeted updates make sense, I have contractors, painters, and crews I've used for years. I coordinate the work so you don't have to manage it from a distance.
Estate Cleanout Resources
I can connect you with trusted estate sale professionals and cleanout crews so the contents of the home don't become another burden.
Family-First Communication
When multiple siblings or heirs are involved, I keep everyone in the loop with clear updates. No one feels left out — and decisions get made with consensus, not pressure.
Why It Matters
Why Working With Me Is Different
There are over 2,700 real estate agents in the Littleton area. Here's what genuinely sets my background apart for an inherited home situation:
-
I'm an active fix-and-flip investor. I know what it actually costs to renovate a dated home, and what it sells for after. That means I can give you a real as-is vs. renovate comparison — not a guess.
-
I owned a mortgage bank for 16 years. I understand financing at a level most agents never will. If a buyer's financing is shaky — or an investor's offer structure is unusual — I'll catch it before it becomes a problem.
-
I specialize in older homes. Most inherited properties were built decades ago. Littleton neighborhoods like Columbine Knolls, Sheridan Green, and parts of Lakewood are full of these homes — and I know how to price and market them correctly for today's buyer.
-
I've been doing this since 1997. 257 closed transactions right here in the Littleton and Denver metro, RE/MAX Hall of Fame, 5280 Magazine Top Realtor. Complicated situations aren't a problem — they're where I do my best work.
-
No pressure, ever. My job is to give you information and options — not to rush you into a decision that benefits me. You and your family decide what's right.
