Chris was a delight to work with throughout the entire home buying process. We were first-time homebuyers and Chris was super helpful in navigation what seemed to us to be a big undertaking. He clearly values his relationships with his clients and we experienced him as having our best interests in mind throughout the process. Additionally, Chris really knew his stuff when it came to the market, trends, home quality/potential and how he could help us get what we wanted. He is strongly recommended!

"Chris Sturgeon did an exceptional job representing us in our recent home purchase. My experience with brokers historically has felt very transactional and their contribution was minimal. Chris is the opposite. For Chris, no detail was too small, and all questions were important and answered promptly. His in-depth knowledge of the neighborhood, the community and recent transactions in the area gave us confidence in our decision to purchase our new home at a fair price. It is remarkable how much less stressful buying a home can be if you trust your broker.
Chris approaches his job with integrity and honesty. With Chris it didn’t take long to understand his job wasn’t to sell us just a home, but to help us get happily settled in the perfect home in a new community."

🚨 Pre-Qualified vs. Pre-Approved — What’s the Difference? 🏡
If you’re starting your home buying journey, knowing the difference between being pre-qualified and pre-approved can make all the difference:
🔹 Pre-Qualified = A quick estimate based on what you tell the lender. No credit check, just a ballpark figure to help guide your search.
🔸 Pre-Approved = A verified, credit-checked approval that shows sellers you`re serious and ready to buy. It can give you a real edge in a competitive market!
✔️ Want to stand out to sellers? Go pre-approved before you start house hunting!

I kind of can’t believe it!!
We are so excited to have been voted “Best in Boulder” despite being a small but mighty brokerage! While many of our competitors have 150 or more agents in their offices, our office of 39 must be doing something right.
I like to write out gratitudes regularly to make sure I don’t miss out on how good life really is and @livewestrealty is consistently on that list. I’m so grateful to work in a place where we have all learned how to truly serve and advocate for our clients. And so grateful for those clients who voted and helped us towards this recognition!!
