“Jenn and Christa at Brixton were incredible! They made the complex home buying process extremely smooth and painless. Their understanding of the Denver metro market is second to none and they found my new home, lined up a showing and we had our offer in and were under contract all in less than a week! Thank you both for the great home buying experience. For a first time home buyer, it was incredibly easy to navigate everything with your guidance. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to use Brixton!”

 

Adam & Jess

“Jennifer and Christa are beyond what you expect and hope for when buying a home. Sure there are plenty to choose from, so why decide on Brixton, with Jennifer and Christa? Let me count the ways. We purchased in one of the hardest buying real estate markets, and of course our price point was the same as what felt like a million other people… We ended up finding the absolute perfect house for our family… They are also now someone we call friends…”

Erika & Randy

“Christa at Brixton is amazing! We relocated from the Northern Virginia area having never even visited Denver before our house hunting trip. Needless to say, we had a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time. Christa was helpful in showing us around the region as well as helping us narrow down our search to our preferred area after getting to know us. One of the things I like best about Christa and the team she works with is that they not only care about finding you a home, they also care about finding you a home that is also a good investment…”

The Dehm Family

“Brixton Real Estate was referred to my wife and I through a family member when we needed to buy a home in Golden, CO from Los Angeles, CA. Needless to say buying a home remotely is a stressful circumstance. However, we quickly realized we had an amazing team locally in Jenn & Christa that went above and beyond our expectations. They managed all aspects of the process on our behalf with the same vigor and details as if it was them buying the house. 🙂 Their use of technology mixed with local knowledge, and combined with a first rate referral list of various service providers (plumber, handyman, electrician, etc) makes for the perfect holistic experience. I would recommend Brixton in a heartbeat to my closest of friends or family members.”

Dear Brixton Friends,

Summer is upon us and it is great to be living in Colorado! As much as we work hard to have a good life, everyday we try to sprinkle in some fun and it’s so much easier to do that when the sun is shining and the outdoors are calling. We hope you’ll enjoy this newsletter where you’ll find out more about the market, design tips, summer adventures and what’s hot and what’s not in the real estate world.

Eva and Ellie are the highlight of all that we do. Their laughter, jokes, and goofiness keep us centered on stressful days. They just finished Preschool and are moving on to Kindergarten this fall. Wow how the time flies! Eva loves ballet, Halloween, and anything spooky. She’s also super competitive (wonder where she gets that) and is a superstar on the soccer field. Ellie is our daydreamer, hip-hopper, dreamer, and creative spirit. She has the empathy of a saint and the attitude of a fashionista. They keep it fun and lively at all hours, and they crash hard when they’ve run out of steam.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speaking of steam, we are full steam ahead on buying, selling and building homes this year! We are continuing our steady and happy growth at Brixton and TK Morrison, while we also expand to take better care of our clients and to bring the good life to more people. Brian has moved into building multi-family projects as investments and the construction team is building amazing Denver Squares, Craftsmans, Victorians and a variety of other projects this year for home owners and investors. Although we are busy, we are often reminded of why we do what we do: To help people enjoy good homes at a great value and to make the process as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

We love to hear from you! If you or someone you know is looking for advice in the real estate world, we welcome a call or introduction anytime. You can contact us here and we will get right back to you. Thank you for your continued support and we hope you gain some valuable knowledge from us!

Warmest Regards,

Jenn and Brian

Denver’s Housing Market

A Real Estate Investor’s Assessment

As a real estate investor, my partners and I plan to bring 28 new homes to market this year in Denver and Golden. Our projects can take as long as two years to get approved through the city municipalities. Exposure to the market can be positive or negative for us depending on fluctuating home prices, so it is important to forecast how the market will perform once we are ready to sell.

I am less interested in predictions made by news sources and more interested in the facts. Click here to read more.

Design Spot

Brass is Back! (but not your grandmom’s brass)– Antiqued brass is the hottest metal for finishes in the home design arena now. The look is more raw and glamorous than the ’90’s shiny brass, and it lends to a timeless look that you won’t be dying to get of in a few years. Here are a few examples:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mixing Metals – This has been a fashion hit for jewelry for years and it’s amazing to see how the savviest of designers are blending the look into the home. Antiqued brass and chrome are beautiful together, and now you don’t need to match all your metals so have some fun with breaking the old rules!

Brixton Buzz

Christa is on FIRE!!!

In the last few months Christa has beat out the competition and helped six clients get under contract in multiple offer situations! A few of them weren’t even the highest offer! How is she doing this? She’s using her savvy and charm to sell her client’s strengths so well that the listing brokers are accepting her client’s offers over all others. Christa always has her buyer’s interest in mind, pushing above all barriers to make sure they get the house they want, and she loves winning for them! We have watched Christa grow over the past three years into a sharp, professional broker who has the heart and tenacity to get our clients home! If you have Christa on your side, you are likely going to win an amazing home and still get a good deal! We love having her on our team, want her on yours too? Contact us here to start learning about how you can win too!
