Soon after my husband and I arrived in Colorado as fresh college graduates, we ventured into a beautiful open house being shown by Chad. We joked about buying the house, knowing it was not realistic at the time. My mom was with us that day and loved Chad so she got his contact information “just in case”. A few months later, we decided to reach out to Chad just so we’d know for the future what we would need to do to buy. To our surprise, he helped us find out that it was within our budget to start looking. He showed us a few houses including one that we both loved, but he told us he’d find us a bigger house with much more potential to go up in value. He followed through on this promise by finding us the absolutely perfect house. We saw it the first day it was on the market, fell in love, and had an offer in by that afternoon. We were not the only offer, but Chad’s expertise got our offer accepted. We were thrilled! Within two months of first texting Chad, he had helped us to purchase our first house. Fast forward to three years later, my husband and I decided to move home to Arizona. We of course immediately reached out to Chad to get the ball rolling, and he once again made the process easier and smoother than we could have hoped for. He gave us staging advice, input on what small renovations would benefit us the most, and made sure we had everything set to sell. As soon as our professional photos were taken, we listed the house. Because of Chad’s suggestions on list price and his help in highlighting our home’s value, we were able to leverage multiple offers above the asking price within days of listing. We accepted an offer and sold the house 30 days later, for a whopping $100,000 more than we bought it for thanks to Chad’s advice on originally purchasing a house he knew would climb in value quickly. Everyone told us how stressful buying and selling a house would be, but Chad made it easy. We couldn’t have done it without his expertise and trustworthiness and are immensely grateful for the experience.

We have had the pleasure of working with Chad on 4 transactions, 2 sales and 2 purchases, all of which turned out wonderfully. First and foremost, Chad is a passionate agent that will go to extreme lengths to ensure that you have the best advocate in the industry. Whatever the current real estate market climate, Chad was always able to communicate clear and realistic outcomes and execute on our behalf all throughout each process. From a seller's perspective, Chad helped us immensely on several fronts. From preparatory project advice to staging and photos and ultimately to listing and pricing our property accurately, we secured offers that we were hoping for. He really helped advocate and put up some hard lines when potential buyers tried to push back on several contract items. It felt good to know that the job can be done so well, while remaining professional, kind and courteous. On the buying side, Chad shines in some different ways. For example, my wife fell in love with a property that didn't exactly fill all our boxes. Chad's communication skills and knowledge of what we were truly looking for, helped us change directions and find a better fit. Being a Realtor® isn't just buying, selling and negotiating contracts, there can be a lot of emotion involved, especially in a competitive market for buyers. Chad is compassionate and understands how significant the buying of a first, second or third home can be. We always felt that Chad intently listened to our wishes and really went the distance to find us a perfect match and seal the deal. The more information and clarity we provided him, the better he was able to serve us. Ultimately, buying and selling real estate can be a strenuous, difficult and sometimes disappointing process. Chad continued to go above and beyond to help us through each step of the process. We're hoping to stay put in our lovely "forever" home, but if the time comes, we will certainly be working with Chad again.

My wife and I engaged Chad Thurman's services starting in March of 2021 to purchase a home in the Denver area. It goes without saying that this has been one of the most challenging times in the real estate industry and I am confident that we would not be homeowners without Chad's guidance. We connected with multiple real estate agents before going under contract with Chad. His knowledge of the market, neighborhoods, and homes clearly surpassed that of his colleagues and offered immense confidence in beginning the process. In our home search, we must have looked at 50 properties - many of which we did remotely from our previous home in North Carolina; a number of which he even took my mother on, who is local. That kind of commitment to his clients is unparalleled from what I have heard from friends in this market. As we continued to work together, Chad's insights into our likes and dislikes helped us to rapidly refine our searches and let us be more competitive in the buying process. With Chad at the helm, we were able to come up with several competitive offers (of our three offers, two came in second and one was accepted). I have no doubt that his ability to work with listing agents and provide a competitive edge at every property we loved. Aside from his talents as an agent, Chad is an upstanding person who cares deeply about his clients as people, not just as a client For example, my wife and I got married during the buying process and he negotiated timelines so that we wouldn't be held up on the phone or email during our wedding weekend or honeymoon. He is endlessly thoughtful and patient. I have no doubt that he will put your best interests first and not only will he work with you to find an amazing new home as seamlessly as possible, you will certainly make a good friend in the process.

I strongly recommend Chad Thurman as a Realtor®. He has assisted me through the process of buying two separate homes and selling one. He is incredibly attentive and responsive throughout the entire process. He listens to what his clients want and need in a home or from a sale, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of buying/selling here in Colorado. One aspect of my work with Chad that really stood out to me was his relationships with other Realtors®. He was able to get me under contract in the very first house that I made an offer on this past Spring (2021), partly due to his positive relationship with the seller's Realtor®. I had braced myself for a long and lengthy process of making offer after offer on homes just to be disappointed due to the crazy housing market in the Denver-metro area. Chad is an expert at navigating the housing market and he is able to leverage his experience and relationships with other professionals to get his clients to the finish line as quickly as possible. That being said, Chad is also a patient Realtor® and truly listens to the needs and wants of his clients. He responds appropriately to his client’s timelines, and does not push them into moving quicker or slower than they want. In summary, I fully recommend Chad to assist you with all your home-buying and selling needs. I will continue to be a repeat client when future real estate needs arise!

The Racine Family

My family and I recently entrusted our home selling process with Chad Thurman and we could not be happier we did so. Chad helped sell our home in Englewood, CO in April of 2021. I recommend, without hesitation, selecting Chad as your real estate agent. You will not be disappointed. Chad is everything you want from a real estate agent. He is communicative, detail orientated, patient, responsive, strategic, and experienced. Chad always proactively kept our family informed of the process, he provided a detailed comparison of all offers received, he put together a schedule of important dates/milestones to follow, he was always willing to have a quick call to answer any questions or concerns, not to mention Chad has strong experience in the nuanced Denver metro area market. In our case, we had multiple offers with escalations clauses and Chad strategically helped us maximize our sale price with the final offer exceeding 20% over asking. We were and are still thrilled! After moving across the country and having to use another real estate agent, it is even easier to see the extreme value and partnership Chad brings to his clients. It is without hesitation and in the strongest sense that I recommend partnering with Chad Thurman on your real estate needs now and in the future. Chad is someone you will value having in your corner for years to come.

I’d like to speak about my experience as a client of Chad Thurman. I have nothing but positive things to say about Chad and his professionalism, efficiency and knowledge of real estate. This past April, I decided to explore my options as a first-time homebuyer. I met Chad through a family member and he ended up being the perfect agent for my needs. Initially looking at homes, I had virtually zero knowledge of real estate, but had an idea of what I was looking for in a home. Chad was able to help me find the type of condo I was looking for in my price range, in the location that I wanted and included all of the aspects of a home that were important to me. I have a baby grand piano and he was very willing to help make sure it would fit in the space! Through working with Chad, he was able to inform me about real estate and the home buying process in a way that was clear without being condescending. I was consistently impressed with his level of professionalism and dedication to his career and clients. My overall experience with Chad was excellent and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or a sell a home. I plan on using Chad again in the future as my real estate needs change.
