I've been helping homeowners in Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas sell their properties for nearly two decades. In that time, I've seen the market evolve from rapid appreciation to today's balanced environment, where inventory has settled at roughly 3.3 months of supply, the median sale price across all property types came in around $450,000 in the Pikes Peak Association of Realtors' September 2026 snapshot, roughly flat year-over-year after modest declines. The average days on market runs about 59 days across all property types, and mortgage rates have climbed to 7.40% in Freddie Mac's October 8, 2026 survey, the highest reading since November 2023. I've evolved with it, and I've learned that the fundamentals never change: accurate pricing, professional presentation, and expert negotiation win in any market.
My approach combines the best of both worlds: the personal, relationship-driven service that comes from deep local roots, and the cutting-edge technology that today's market demands. I leverage AI-powered pricing tools, professional content creation, and Coldwell Banker's national marketing platform to give my clients a decisive edge. In a market where homes run about 59 days on market, concessions appear in the majority of transactions, and buyers compare every listing online before they tour, that technology advantage combined with 19 years of neighborhood knowledge is what separates a listing that sits from one that sells. Meanwhile, shifting buyer priorities — Zillow's 2026 Trends Report shows zero-energy-ready home mentions up 70% year-over-year — mean that energy-efficient features and smart home upgrades are increasingly the differentiators that drive offers.
Whether your home is a starter property in Briargate, a custom build in Black Forest, or a luxury estate in The Broadmoor, I bring the same level of commitment and strategic thinking to every listing. My job is simple: get you the best possible outcome.
Colorado Springs isn't just where I work — it's where I've built my career, my reputation, and my deep knowledge of every neighborhood, school district, and market trend. When you work with me, you're getting a partner who knows this market inside and out.
Credentials & Designations: I hold the Broker Associate license (License #100017842) with Coldwell Banker Realty. I am a Military Relocation Professional (MRP) certified to serve military families navigating PCS moves to Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Air Force Base, and the US Air Force Academy. I also hold the Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI) designation — the highest level of professional education awarded by the National Association of Realtors. My background in new home construction gives me unique insight into building codes, permits, and construction quality that most agents cannot match, and that knowledge directly benefits sellers preparing their homes for market.
Service Areas: From Monument and Palmer Lake to Fountain and Falcon, from Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City to Briargate, Broadmoor, and north to Castle Rock — I serve the entire Colorado Springs Front Range. The neighborhoods I work in include Banning Lewis Ranch, Flying Horse, Wolf Ranch, Cordera, Pine Creek, Black Forest, Rockrimmon, and many more. Each has its own micro-market dynamics, and I know the differences that matter.
When you choose me as your real estate agent, you get more than a listing — you get a dedicated partner who combines nearly two decades of local market expertise with cutting-edge AI-powered marketing tools and Coldwell Banker Realty's national brokerage platform. My goal is simple: get your home sold for the best possible price, on your timeline, with no surprises.
What I bring to every listing.
AI-Powered Marketing
Every listing gets a custom digital marketing strategy: AI-optimized listing copy, targeted social media ads, professional virtual tours, and search-engine-optimized property pages that get your home seen by serious buyers.
National Brokerage Platform
Coldwell Banker's marketing reach means your property is syndicated across 900+ real estate websites, featured on coldwellbanker.com, and amplified through national advertising campaigns that no independent agent can match.
Deep Local Knowledge
Nineteen years of selling in Colorado Springs means I know every neighborhood, from the established charm of Old Colorado City to the rapid growth in northern El Paso County. In a market where the average days on market runs about 55 days, mortgage rates above 7% (Freddie Mac's September 24, 2026 reading) feed the rate lock-in effect holding back low-rate homeowners, and buyers negotiate below list as standard practice, neighborhood-level pricing knowledge is the difference between a quick sale and a stale listing. Demand is currently concentrated in the $400K–$550K range, with growth corridors like Briargate, Northgate, and Falcon Valley seeing the most buyer activity. Heading into fall 2026, the neighborhoods that maintain the strongest demand are those with top-rated schools and newer construction — a nuance that only deep local knowledge can identify. See how this expertise informs the full listing process.
Technology is a tool. Experience is the edge. Together, they're how we get your home sold — for more, in less time.
