Jenn was our property manager and Brian was the leasing agent assigned to us (I think? He gave us the apartment tour and contacted us for renewals). Both of them were great! Jenn was responsive and helpful. She would follow up with us on the more important requests send through the renters' portal to make sure that maintenance was taken care of. Brian was also super easy to work with the few times we were in touch about lease questions and such. Renting from big property management companies can be such an awful experience, so we especially appreciated working with both of them. Also! We just got our deposit back, and they included itemized receipts with it. That's key as a renter, since there will inevitably be something to quibble about with the deposit.

Absolutely awful.

I was referred to Amber by a friend who is a realtor out of state, and I am so incredibly grateful for that. Amber has become much more than just my realtor. I consider her a friend. She is not just an amazing realtor, she's an amazing person. She put in so many hours of work and must have driven several hundreds of miles to help me with my home search. She was so flexible and incredibly patient with a client (me) that couldn't make up their mind what they really wanted. She knew all the ins and outs of the process and was able to help me get an amazing deal. She was so responsive that I was often surprised. I don't recall ever waiting more than an hour for a response from her, and most of the time I barely waited at all. She's more responsive than most of my other friends! I am so happy with my purchase, but it was kind of bittersweet at the closing because Amber made the whole process so fun and enjoyable that I was a little sad it was over. I'm glad I was able to join the 8z collective so I'll still get to catch up with Amber and the rest of the 8z team. They were all so helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole process that I can't say enough good things about them. I plan on staying in Colorado, so the next time I buy, sell, or refinance, there's no question where I'll go. 8z, you're stuck with me! Thank you so much, Amber! You are truly phenomenal!

You really took time to understand what I was looking for, helped me discover amazing new neighborhoods, spent your weekends showing multiple properties to me, and made this whole process easy!

I worked in the real estate industry as a CEO for a decade, have high expectations, and can say…read morethat Angela is a rarity among agents. We were moving to Boulder County from out of state, had a very specific set of criteria, and due to Covid were looking for our new home from afar. Angela was able to quickly get up to speed on our requirements, understand our aesthetic preferences, and never wasted a minute of our time. When we found the right home, she helped us negotiate, she made the process seamless (including FaceTime tours of the home), and we didn't ever feel like we were in the dark. If you want great communication, availability, solid negotiation, and a quick study, Angela is your agent.

We reached out to Angela in early January 2022 to discuss selling our Boulder home of 20+ years…read more She was extremely helpful in describing what the ensuing process would look like, and began providing expert advice on how we could maximize the sale. This advice included highly insightful information about the current (and changing) Boulder real estate market; potential best timing for listing the property in light of market conditions as well as historical seasonal supply and demand considerations; viewing comps and visiting similar properties to assist in setting a reasonable asking price; and touring our property with us and ultimately providing a list of suggested improvements that could be made to improve salability and maximize price (the list also included prioritization and discussion of cost-benefit of each improvement). Angela recommended her husband's company, Mendly, to oversee and manage the improvements that included major updates to the kitchen, fixing all kinds of little (and not so little!) problems that had been neglected over the years, and fresh coats of paint throughout the house. Mendly (and Ben Moss) deserve their own superlative review, but suffice it to say here, if Mendly is available to do needed work for you, don't even think twice about it! They are awesome. Angela also recommended a professional stager to help prepare the home for showing. Although we were somewhat dubious, we trusted her advice, and were so glad we did. The stager used a mix of our furnishings and furnishings they brought in to turn our home into something we wished we had done years before--it looked and felt so comfortable and inviting. Once everything was ready to show, Angela brought in a professional photographer, and worked with the expert 8Z team to prepare the marketing brochure and listing documents. In sum, Angela worked with us on developing a thoughtful strategy for approaching the sale of our home, and then executed that strategy exquisitely. In our case, we opened the home for viewings on a Thursday, and Angela accepted offers by 5pm that Sunday. We received a number of bids--all over the asking price--after which Angela then expertly navigated the negotiation process to get us to a final, accepted offer followed by the closing. There is absolutely no doubt that we would have been as successful were it not for all of the expert (and patient!) guidance from Angela. If you need a broker to help you buy or sell a property, I highly recommend Angela Moss and 8Z Real Estate. Shaun McGrath, Former Boulder Mayor and City Council Member

After losing two…read morebidding wars using a real estate website's service, we decided to go with a local realtor with more experience. From our initial discussion where she really took the time to understand what we were looking for, to the excellent communication throughout the buying process, to the kindness upon closing-it was an entirely different and impressive experience. Daphne is extremely well-versed in every aspect of the Boulder real estate market and her wealth of knowledge was invaluable to us in buying our home. She was not only able to advise us on neighborhoods, history of the area, value, bidding, etc, she knew so much about what to look for that may be of concern inside the houses. In addition, she gave us the most wonderful recommendations of others to work with, from our local lender, to inspector to sewer guy-all did an exceptional job. We couldn't be happier with our experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real expert who is also a pleasure to work with.

Daphne is just fantastic & fabulous! Words cannot describe how lucky we were to find and work with…read moreher. I would highly recommend her to everyone. We were so pleased with her attitude and dedication. We are first time buyers and were guided the whole way through this hefty process with such care, professionalism and a good sense of humor. On top of that ,we just moved from New York City to Boulder and had little knowledge about the housing in Colorado. Daphne was sure to keep us informed. Daphne is very knowledgeable within Boulder County (We bought our house in Erie, CO. I am not sure if she is specialized in other counties in Colorado as well). She knows the home values for all neighborhoods. She told us where to find information about school districts, shopping and things to do online. She listened to what we want from our first home. The first time she took us to look at some real estates, she showed us different type of homes that we can afford in--different areas. We thought that was a brilliant strategy because it provided us a way to see variety of homes in various areas. She made the process seem like a piece of cake. She kept us informed, educated us on the process, and continues to follow up with us. She is extremely responsive to all our inquiries whether they are through emailing or text messaging. Once we made our decision, Daphne is quick to make sure we get it! She made things happen! Daphne was honest, real and selective. She would steer us away from properties she didn't think were up to snuff and would point out flaws we didn't even see. Kudos! If you want to be part of a winning team, you can with Daphne.

Very unethical and unprofessional!!!…read more Brad specializes in Rock Creek - local advertising, pumpkins at Halloween, etc, so when my husband and I decided to sell our home, we contacted Brad to interview him and gather information. He told us a story about how when he first moved to the area, he and his wife looked at our house to buy and how much he really liked our house. He also mentioned contacts he has in the industry to help us with the sale. He specifically mentioned staging our house and that he had someone who could help us but given that we have children, doubted that she would want her furniture in our home. I was put off that he would make a negative comment about our children during the first meeting but brushed it off. We decided to choose a flat fee Realtor service who was recommended to us by one of our neighbors instead of the local Realtors that we interviewed. Brad made an appointment to show our home on the Sunday morning after Thanksgiving at 9am. At 9:15am, Brad canceled the showing. He rescheduled the showing for Monday at noon. We made sure the house was show ready - anybody who has sold a home knows what that means -- spotless, window shades opened, beds made, floors vacuumed and mopped, etc. My husband decided to lower the price for the showing and I thought it would be cute to leave it on the counter with a reindeer picture that my daughter created. This is the comment that Brad Klein left regarding our house, "Having the children of the house announce the price reduction on construction paper is just what it looks like, add to that the second rate commission and you have a true Mickey Mouse operation. Good luck with the sale." I found the comment neither constructive nor professional. Another friend of mine who lives in Rock Creek had a similar experience with Brad Klein. Buyers & Sellers of Rock Creek - BEWARE OF ENGAGING BRAD KLEIN UNLESS YOU ARE 100% POSITIVE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO USE HIM DURING THE BUY/SELL PROCESS. HE IS DISAPPOINTINGLY UNPROFESSIONAL AND I PERSONALLY DON'T TRUST THAT HE WILL ACT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CLIENT -- BOTH THE BUYER & SELLER.

The first time that we used John was when we were looking to buy our first home. This can be a very overwhelming process for a first time home buyer, however, John's knowledge and expertise of the market put us to ease and we found our perfect home. He communicated everything that we needed to know and was very honest throughout the whole process. Additionally, his background as a city planner proved very helpful as we considered our options for various pieces of property. Our great first experience led us to engage him as our realtor in June 2013 to sell our house and purchase another one. Again, with his help, patience, honesty and knowledge we were able to find a new home that not only met the needs of our growing family but also was in the perfect location. His honesty and integrity are unparalleled. I have recommended John to many of our friends who ultimately decided to use him which not only led to great results for them but also to them recommending John to their friends. I think that says a lot about a realtor! I would recommend John to anyone!
