About Liz

Liz Richards - Broker Associate

 

What sets Liz Richards apart from your average real estate agent? A tremendous drive to be the best in the industry achieved through a devotion to extremely high standards of customer service, a far-reaching referral network, an extensive knowledge of new construction and the remodeling of older homes, and an intense love for and involvement in the Denver real estate market; spanning the realm of infill development, historic preservation, and property rights. By helping clients to buy and sell real estate I exercise my passion on a daily basis.

Knowledge: An extensive knowledge of the real estate industry plays a paramount role in my ability to furnish client’s with top notch customer service and professional advice. It’s always my goal to educate clients rather than just sell to them. Information ranging from remodeling costs, neighborhood values, historic homes, schools, home staging techniques, and infill development represent just the tip of my professional wisdom. During the past 5 years I have played a major role in remodeling projects and new-build development for clients. I was instrumental in spearheading the Flats 15 development in Lohi from the project’s conception, through its completion. I have also helped to complete 3 residential remodels with my fiancé and am excited to be embarking on a new build project in the LoHi neighborhood where we plan to construct an ultra modern single family home for ourselves.

Attitude and Goals: The real estate market is a forever changing environment. What worked 10 years ago may not necessarily be the best formula for today’s success. Because the real estate industry has become more sophisticated and challenging, you need a professional who thoroughly understands the business and strives to be the best. I’m committed to staying at the top of my game and being one of the highest producing and performing realtors in Denver. For several years I worked in corporate sales for MCI and GE. The business world has furnished me with acute negotiating skills, attentive customer service talents, and creative problem solving abilities; all of which are critical elements to the home buying and selling process and characteristics which separate your ordinary agent from an excellent one. My exceeding energy, unbridled enthusiasm, and positive attitude serve to compliment my extensive business skill set. Also noteworthy are the numerous articles I have written for local publications such as the Rocky Mountain News , The Denver Business Journal , and the North Denver Tribune . I strive to continue to position myself as a Denver real estate authority.

 

Liz’s background:

I grew up just outside of Chicago where much of my family still resides. I’ve been in Colorado since 1997 first residing in Boulder and then moving to Denver . The University of Arizona in Tucson is my alma mater. I graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Art History. After college I moved to Paris and lived there for over a year and traveled throughout Europe. While living in Paris, I took classes at the Sorbonne and studied art history. This increased my knowledge of art and architecture beyond the average realm. If you are interested, I would love to explain the difference between a belvedere and a cupola . . . a column and a pillar. . .a balcony and a gallery. This aesthetic training and awareness has greatly aided me in the marketing of Denver´s numerous historic homes.

I also have a second B.A in English Literature from the Metropolitan State College of Denver. For several years I worked in corporate sales for MCI and GE.  

And if you really are interested . . . . . .my other great loves are art, travel, film, skiing , hiking, my dog and fiancé’. . .obviously not in that order!
