"We bought our home through Chad and it was a genuine pleasure working with him throughout the process. As first-time homebuyers, we were pretty nervous and had a million questions but each one was answered thoroughly and promptly. He was incredibly patient while teaching us everything there is to know about the Denver market. Chad put a ton of time and effort into getting to know us and what we were looking for in a home. After visiting countless homes, Chad messaged us one day and said “I think this is THE ONE”, and sure enough it was! It was everything we were looking for and more. We absolutely love our home and wouldn’t have landed here had it not been for Chad. He gave us the confidence we needed to make an extremely informed (and difficult!) decision. We absolutely love our home and wouldn’t have landed here had it not been for Chad. Above all, Chad made the experience fun and enjoyable during a time that can otherwise be super stressful. I’d highly recommend Chad to anyone who is seeking a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and professional realtor." - Jenny & Trisha

"We worked with Chad to buy and sell our Denver home and greatly appreciated the expertise, tenacity and thoughtful guidance he provided every step of the way. We gave him very specific requirements for the type of home we were looking for, and he found the perfect place for our young family. He masterfully negotiated a price we could afford, effectively advocating for us throughout the whole process. As we outgrew our home, he helped guide us through the process of selling our home, creating and executing on a strategy that provided us with the cash we needed to invest in a larger home on exactly the timeline we planned. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Chad!" - Ashley & Phil

"Working with Chad has been an absolute pleasure. Chad knows the neighborhoods and the market better than anyone I have experienced. As a first home buyer, I had my doubts and questions through the process but Chad was always there to help me through the home buying process. I highly recommend Chad for any of your home buying needs." - Eric

A little bit about Chad's career:
Chad started his career with a team that, during his tenure, was twice honored as a Top 10 Denver real estate team by the Denver Metro Association of REALTORS® (DMAR). He was twice nominated by 5280 Magazine as a rising star in the Denver real estate market. In late 2016, Chad left the team to pursue his own real estate goals. He joined a small boutique firm as the Director of Talent Development and helped them grow from five agents to 27 during his one-year tenure. He then accepted a job as Director of Compliance with another growing company, and he quickly realized that he loves managing people and teaching other associates about Denver real estate. So, in May 2018, Chad started his own real estate corporation, and then he was elated to bring his wealth of experience with him to Compass in 2020 as the Principal Broker & Team Lead of The Stairway Team. He feels humbled and grateful to be surrounded by so many high-achieving professionals and wonderful humans in the Compass family.

Chad's goal is to help YOU take your next steps when it comes to any Denver real estate needs. He is an expert negotiator with a proven track record of winning for his clients. He prides himself on his attitude and work ethic. He will work diligently to achieve results. Your satisfaction is paramount to Chad, and his enthusiasm to achieve it is contagious!
