Five Star Real Estate Colorado
Be prepared to be informed and educated — and sometimes entertained! — throughout the process of buying or selling a home in Denver, Aurora, Highlands Ranch, Lakewood, and the metro Denver area. Communication, communication, communication, in addition to location, location, location.
A third-generation Denverite, I graduated from Metropolitan State University with a bachelor’s degree in communications and journalism. After receiving my master's degree at Clarion University in Pennsylvania, I returned to Colorado.
After a brief stint of working for The Denver Post newspaper, I worked in the media relations department for a professional baseball team. Although it was the worst-paying job I ever had, the experience was priceless. Eventually, I left the world of sports and became an award-winning corporate writer and a copy editor for several years. Yes, I'm the guy who mentally edits menus, billboards, magazines, web pages, and daily email news feeds!
Eventually, I moved to Highlands Ranch, where my two kids were born and raised.
A credo for journalists is to inform and educate their readership. That is the same mantra I adhere to as a Realtor for my clients — to inform, educate, and, if possible, entertain them about real estate. I've been succeeding at that since 2005.
Five Tidbits About Five Star Real Estate And Brad Dunevitz
I'm a summertime mountain man who loves to hike, camp, and backpack as often as possible in the Rocky Mountains or in its foothills. One of the many reasons I love Colorado!
I'm a member of a rare and informal "group": I was a full-time single dad to my two young kids, who are adults now. The "most-challenging" and by far the most-fulfilling part of my life.
A longtime fitness and nutrition nut, I competed for several years in natural — meaning steroid-free and Testosterone-free — bodybuilding competitions. No Pizza Hut, Three Musketeers, or Dairy Queen Blizzards during those many months of disciplined training!
I'm a softie for anything related to Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the Peanuts gang. My prized possession is a jean jacket with the entire Peanuts gang embroidered on the back — given to me by a client!
Although I love many genres of music, I'm a classic rock devotee — Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones, Led Zep, and so on. I melt when listening to female singers, regardless of the genre — Heart (my fave band), Alanis Morissette, Nelly Furtado, Olivia Newton-John, Dido, Norah Jones, and many more.
I’m a Realtor, Not an Agent: There is a difference. Realtors agree to abide by and uphold the
National Association of Realtors’ Code of Ethics — 17 articles that apply to my duties to clients and customers, to the public, and to other Realtors and agents. That's important, especially since your home purchase or sale will involve hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of your dollars.
Fiduciary Responsibility: These duties are the highest duties known to the law — loyalty, confidentiality, disclosure, obedience, reasonable care and diligence, and accounting. Other than Realtors, only a few professions, such as physicians, attorneys, and financial advisors, have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients. Would you hire an attorney or a financial advisor if they made a choice to have no fiduciary responsibility to you?
Consultant and Educator: Go ahead, ask me a bunch of questions — that’s what I’m here for — and I’ll ask you questions, too. As a former award-winning journalist, I know how to ask the right questions to best educate and empower you. You’ll feel confident in making the most-well-informed decisions.
Team Member: Help yourself to the expertise of my entire team, such as mortgage lenders, home inspectors, skilled tradespeople, insurance agents, and title companies.
Transaction Coordinator: Nearly 100 phone calls and emails, about 100 documents, and more than 40 signatures are needed to complete your transaction. You’ll be confident in knowing that you have an overseer — me — of all transactional details.
Turbulence Navigator: You will arrive at your destination in the least amount of time and aggravation.
Charitable: On behalf of you, I donate a portion of each closing to one of two local nonprofit organizations — the Denver Dumb Friends League or the Colorado Make-A-Wish Foundation.
A Good Person!: All the above points are meaningless if I’m not a nice and caring person, but thankfully, I am! :)
