2009

Founded in 1981, Kentwood Real Estate will celebrate its 30th Anniversary next year as one of the most trusted names in Denver real estate. Kentwood is comprised of 157 top-producing real estate professionals operating from three strategically-located offices in the metro Denver area. Our company’s brokers and management team are dedicated to superior customer service and unmatched expertise in all segments of the market. Kentwood also offers comprehensive relocation services through our affiliation with the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World. Kentwood’s marketing programs, family environment, and long-term relationships with clients are also hallmarks of our company. We enjoyed another excellent year in 2009 and look forward to surpassing previous goals in 2010.

A company is only as good as its people. Striving for excellence has become a tradition with Kentwood Real Estate. It shows in the performance of every Kentwood broker associate and each member of the staff. Locally owned, with a strong and experienced support staff, Kentwood assists with every facet of a sale or purchase. The Kentwood professionals know the real estate business inside and out, and are unmatched in knowledge of the residential market in the Denver metro area. Again, a company is, after all, only as good as its people.

The largest locally owned independent brokerage provides dedication, integrity and personalized service. Reputation is what a successful real estate company is all about. Kentwood carefully selects its agents, who have achieved some of the nation’s highest real estate volumes and have established a reputation as individuals of dedication, integrity, and personalized service.

Every Kentwood broker associate is full-time and, as mentioned previously, averages 20 years of experi-ence selling residential real estate. Kentwood professionals have also held numerous leadership posi-tions in the industry, communities and neighborhoods, and are active in their local Boards of Realtors.
