Buying your first home is a huge step for any family. For my wife and I, it was a long road with quite a few failed starts before we found what we were really wanting. As a small bit of background, we're a military family, stationed in the area and ready to finally move off-base. We chose Pink Realty after having a less than desirable experience with another reputable, but overly sales-focused independent realtor our first time around, probably a little over a year prior at this point. We were overly cautious, but with a lot of favorable reviews, specifically for military families, we decided to take the plunge one more time. The market had changed a lot since our first big venture and Pink was not hesitant to explain that to us. However, they backed that up with their reputation and extensive team of resources and experience. We saw countless homes on the market over the course of many weeks, even put a few offers in, but it seemed all for not. With their team of realtors working together, we ended up meeting a handful of different agents until finally being introduced to Cregg Terasa, who ended up being our final realtor. Cregg was one of the easiest people to get along with; very personable, very approachable and very communicative. And while he was very new to being a realtor by the time we met, he brought a lot of knowledge and experience to the table with a background in construction, flipping, and best of all, being military himself. He knew exactly what we were dealing with and how to talk to us at our level, really driving home that he was working for us, not the ultimate sale. There was no point when working with him that we didn't feel like he wouldn't go out of his way for us, be it answering a strange question about a house we were looking at in an older neighborhood or even telling us a hard truth we really didn't want to hear about the state of the market (and at the time we were house hunting, it was quite ridiculously a "seller's market"). He never gave up on us, even when we started to really feel the drag that it just wasn't going to happen. Cregg would always keep in touch with us if we went a few days without talking and see about that next house. He even showed us a few homes that weren't quite on the open market yet, just to give us that first chance at it. Eventually, after burn-out started to set in, he was the one that suggested a completed radical idea to us: new builds. We thought it crazy at first, not to mention far more expensive than we could handle, but the truth was quite the opposite. Instead of looking for the right house at our budget in the right neighborhood, we could instead build a house we liked, at our budget, in a neighborhood of choosing. And not too long after touring some model homes in the Springs' upcoming neighborhoods, we found a place we really liked and signed a contract that guaranteed us the home we wanted, where we wanted it. Now, the process of building a home is far longer and far scarier than simply buying a home, let alone your first. We were very much under the idea that it would just be a waiting game and we'd see Cregg again on the other side of it. With Cregg, that was never even a consideration. He worked overtime with us on the project, helping us through countless delays, builder communication issues, even neighborhood theft concerns! What had to be a daily effort when things were at their worst, Cregg was a total professional through all of it, keeping us in the loop as much as possible and even being there with us for meetings with the builder's sales office and design center. Once construction was finally moving along, we made regular appointments to go see the progress and Cregg was always there, answering our questions and even asking a few we would never have thought to bring up. He even stopped by and sent us pictures when we couldn't quite make it that way. By the time the house was finally built and we had keys in-hand, it was a victory we never thought possible without Cregg's help. Professional, funny and with a people-first attitude, he was exactly the kind of realtor we were wanting that worked hard for our business every day. I tell everybody I know looking to make that next step to contact him first, no questions asked, because the day comes that we find ourselves in a similar situation again, he would absolutely be our first call, every time. In the six months following closing on our house, we've settled in happily and found that we're really glad Cregg talked us into building. While oftentimes a harder process than it really should have been, the end result was worth it and we could not be happier with what is now our first home. If anybody was ever on the fence about making the leap to a new home, Pink does well by its people, walking them through every step of the process start to finish, and Cregg will absolutely do his best by you. Our home is the proof. read more

We have been renting from Pink Reality for about 2 years now. We rented our first home site unseen and signed all paperwork electronically from Alaska so we could move in directly upon arrival to the springs from Alaska. The process was smooth and easy. All the staff extremely helpful with paperwork and setting up lease signing over conference call. The Homeowner was selling the property we have rented for past 19 months and once again we both ended up being out of town for work. Pink was able to find us another rental property and line our dates up for an easy transition, all while both of us were out of town. We once again signed for our new property site unseen and did lease signed on conference call. Pink reality has really been able to accommodate our unconventional and unpredictable military lives and work with our family to get necessary paperwork complete even when 3,000 miles away. During the course of have Pink reality as our property management company they have been very punctual and timely in reaching out to homeowners about work orders when they have came up. Easily reachable and quick responses. The entire team we have dealt with over the past 2 years have been very helpful and professional. Would recommend Pink reality to friends or family moving to the springs looking for rental properties. read more

Came in as an out of state buyer. Worked with Erica, she was really professional (& a lot of fun to work with). The team has a very good workflow, different people to do each step of the process. The realtor works with you throughout. They do have a lender they recommend, which we used and I felt made the process go very smooth. When the home buying process was closed for me, they asked me if there was anything I didn't like. I told them, we did receive automated computer messages telling us "today is the last day we have to complete 'such & such', that we didn't like", which they said they would correct. (the only reason I didn't like it, was it made me feel like I didn't have something finished). I really liked their proactive response in every part of the process. They called us a week after we moved in to ask us if there was anything we needed, everything from contractors phone numbers, to directions to the nearest DMV. I also really appreciated that it's standard for them to check up every 3-4 mos to see how everything is going & if we need anything. Their communication was excellent throughout, I never waited more than 2-3 hrs for a response on anything. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

I would strong recommend this team. It was the first time I had sold a home or moved in 25 years. I was forced into the sale in part because my ex was threatening towards me and I was afraid of what she would do if I did not sell. In fact, my fear of her was the biggest influence in my move. She made it clear when she "advised me to sell" with an implied "or else." It was clearly not in my best interest to sell and I was in a difficult spot. Monica was great. She was professional, personal and carrying. Even provided me with dog leashes as an extra help. Her team cover expenses not usually covered in a closing and really worked with me. I ended up homeless and sleeping in my car for a few nights, but they still treated me with respect and grace. I eventually ended up in a cheap long-term hotel. However, without their help I probably would have ended up on the street for a long time. It was a painful and difficult process that Monica and the team made survivable. It had to be the hardest closing they ever had as everything went wrong. They were so patient and kind. I am at a loss to describe my appreciation for them in a tough situation. read more

Pink Realty has done a fantastic job helping me sell my home, and find a new home for me and my daughter. I was really hesitant about listing my home to sell because I felt it wasn't perfect enough and would need too much work. However, my Pink realtor, Brian Adams, suggested I go ahead and try. He had a wonderful photographer take photos of my home that made me proud to list it. Before I knew it, I had several viewings and the whole process became very exciting. Brian advocated for my home, and within 3 weeks I had an offer! He took the time to let me view several homes in locations all over Colorado Springs so that he could have a clear understanding of what I was looking for. He was really able to identify what was important to me, without me even having to say. I am fortunate to say that he helped find the PERFECT home that I would never have been able to find on my own. He has worked through every aspect to make sure that my experience has gone without a hitch. I am so confident and pleased with my experience that I will recommend Pink Realty to every person I know that needs to either sell their home and/or buy a new home. read more

Rachael Hootman with Pink Realty was absolutely phenomenal! We worked with her to purchase a home in the Denver metro area during our transition from Colorado Springs. Anybody that is familiar with these areas will know how insanely frustrating and aggressive the real estate market is, and it was not made any easier by our picky demands and expectations for our new home. We could barely get our foot in the door most days due to houses going under contract faster than we could view them. Rachael was aggressive and knowledgeable, and I have no doubt that without her, we would still be searching. We successfully found our home without having to make any compromises. In this market, a home without compromises is a miracle, but our new home checks all the boxes! Rachael made the entire closing process smooth and efficient, going as far as to even help the sellers move to assure closing of the deal on time and preventing any hold-ups on our move. Truly fantastic from start to finish! Thank you Rachael and Pink Realty! You all made this happen. read more

I cannot begin to express how wonderful an experience I had with Pink Realty and Jessica Brown as my realtor on my recent home purchase. This was the first cross-country move I've made and Jessica and the Pink Realty team made this a stress free home purchase. Jessica went out of her way to make sure I had all the information I needed to search online for possible homes so when I actually traveled to the area, I found the perfect home in under 24 hours. Jessica's professionalism and attention to details was top notch and undeniably the best I could have ever hoped for. Even through the final walk through and closing (that I could not be present for), Jessica stepped in and made sure everything was perfect for my arrival. I would highly recommend Pink Realty and Jessica Brown personally for any one looking to buy or sell a home. She became more like a friend after the 5 months we worked together and she will definitely be my first call when I am in need of a realtor in the future. Kudos to the entire Pink Realty team for a job well done! read more

When we first considered moving to Colorado Springs, we had looked at several properties we wanted to see and most of them were listed by Pink Realty. We called Pink Realty on a Saturday and they immediately put us in touch with Erica. We told her we were interested in looking at some homes in CS and we were going to an open house that day. Erica arranged to meet us there and had set up several other properties we wanted to see that same day. She dropped everything for us to see theses homes on such short notice! We ended up putting off our search for about a month and, when we were ready again, Erica had lined up more properties for us to view. We looked at 12 properties and ended up putting an offer on the first house we viewed that day. From that point on, it was very smooth sailing to close on the house of our dreams. We were so lucky to have worked with Pink Realty and especially Erica as everything fell into place because they had all the ducks in a row to get us across the finish line. read more
