elevating properties and getting them sold for the maximum price.

Local Expertise

Living in Denver for over 30 years, Caitlin has built an extensive network of local contacts—buyers, other real estate agents, community leaders, and service providers. These established relationships can open doors and create opportunities that a newcomer simply can’t match. Understanding the area’s history and development trends allows a veteran expert to provide context to your property’s value and appeal. They can effectively communicate the evolution of the neighborhood to buyers, adding depth to your home’s story.

Global Marketing

The Agency is a global, boutique real estate brokerage representing a portfolio of properties across the world's prime markets and celebrated destinations. Our clients and agents benefit from the shared resources of our international team, including public relations and tech divisions. In Colorado alone, Caitlin is connected with Agency brokers in Aspen, Telluride, Steamboat Springs, and Boulder.

Targeted Paid Marketing

Receiving broad online exposure is important, but we utilize a proprietary platform for getting your property in front of the right prospective buyers. We elevate your property’s presence with comprehensive, broker-funded marketing. This includes expert staging and interior design consultations, high-quality photography, floor plan sketches, engaging property videos, aerial drone footage and print materials.

Pricing and Negotiation

Listing a home isn’t just about putting beautiful photos in the MLS. I devise a strategy with my sellers to position their homes in the best light, but also focus on market conditions and dynamics. I know what buyers are looking for and how best to achieve a high priced sale quickly. Negotiation with buyer brokers is equally important. I work hard to build relationships with other brokers, while representing my sellers from beginning to end.

Curated Vendors

I have access to trusted stagers, contractors, movers, photographers, you name it!

Real Estate FAQs

What should I look for when buying a home?

Discover a home that aligns with your lifestyle and aspirations. Focus on size, location, and essential amenities, while keeping an eye on the neighborhood, commute times, and future value. Ditch the notion of a “forever home” — it’s a myth that can lead to frustration. Instead, prioritize what truly matters and embrace the journey of finding a place that fits your needs today.

How much can I afford to spend on a home?

Crafting your budget involves more than just the purchase price. Factor in your down payment, monthly mortgage, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Getting pre-approved by a lender provides a clear picture of what you can comfortably afford and helps you make informed decisions.

How much is a typical down payment?

Down payments vary, but for conventional loans, expect to put down 10-20% of the purchase price. FHA loans may require as little as 3%, while VA loans can offer 0% down in some cases. Your lender will guide you based on your specific situation.

What are closing costs, and how much should I expect to pay?

Closing costs are the final steps in sealing a real estate deal, covering items like loan origination fees, title insurance, and escrow fees. Typically, they range from 2% to 5% of the purchase price. Always confirm with your lender, and if paying in cash, be aware that the title company will still have associated fees.

How do I determine the right listing price for my home?

Setting the right price involves analyzing comparable properties in your area, evaluating your home’s condition, and understanding current market trends. In metro Denver, local nuances play a significant role, so consider neighborhood and community dynamics in your pricing strategy.

What should I do to prepare my home for sale?

Present your home at its best by decluttering, making necessary repairs, and staging it to attract buyers. Enhancing curb appeal and maintaining a pristine interior can make a significant difference in capturing interest.

What happens if there are issues during the inspection?

Should an inspection reveal issues, you have options: request repairs, negotiate a price reduction, or, if allowed by the contract, back out of the deal. Addressing these concerns proactively can keep the process smooth.

How can I make my offer stand out in a competitive market?

To make your offer irresistible, consider bidding above the asking price, offering flexible closing dates, and presenting a robust pre-approval letter. Cash offers are strong, but I can help you stand out even without cash by leveraging other strategic incentives.

Why buy?

Investing in real estate builds equity over time, unlike short-term investments like stocks. Despite market fluctuations, the overall trend is upward, and owning a home means contributing to your own financial growth rather than someone else’s. Additionally, buying offers potential for substantial returns through appreciation and tax benefits on mortgage interest.

Why rent?

Renting is ideal if you’re new to a city or seeking flexibility. It provides financial liquidity and eliminates the responsibility for home maintenance. If you value mobility and minimal upkeep, renting could be the perfect choice for you.
