Chris Gioielli
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!

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!!

🏡 Thinking of Waiting for Lower Rates?
You might want to reconsider… ⏳
📉 Low inventory = less competition
📈 Prices are still rising
🚪 Opportunities are out there for those ready to move
Don’t let “waiting for the perfect rate” cost you more in the long run.
