TOP PRODUCER

Built FOR Change:

Rachel

Weinberg TURNED TWO DECADES OF MARKET TURBULENCE INTO LASTING SUCCESS

A

t 8 years old, Rachel Weinberg was knocking on strangers’ doors selling Girl Scout cookies. In college, she was selling Cutco knives and driving all over town with MapQuest directions printed from the internet. Long before she became one of Colorado’s most respected REALTORS®, she was learning a lesson that would shape her entire career: success comes from connecting with people.

Twenty years later, that same work ethic formed in her youth and ability to build trust have carried Rachel through housing crashes, floods, wildfires, bidding wars, market frenzies, and every curveball the real estate industry could throw her way.

And somehow, she still loves every minute of it.

This year marks Rachel’s 20th anniversary in real estate, a milestone she celebrates with both gratitude and perspective.

“I feel like I’ve seen it all,” she says with a laugh.

Originally from Ohio, Rachel was born in Cincinnati and raised in Fairfield before graduating from Ohio University with a degree in marketing.

Her upbringing shaped the professional she would become.

Her mother was a teacher. Her father was a financial planner.

Together, they modeled the value of building relationships, coupled with service, as well as communication.

“My dad was self-employed, and I grew up watching him interact with clients,” Rachel recalls. “I knew pretty early that I wanted that kind of independence.”

10 • August 2026

That entrepreneurial spirit showed up long before adulthood.

Cookies, Cutco and Her First Car As a young Girl Scout, Rachel was determined to become one of the top cookie sellers in her region.

While other kids might have stopped after a few boxes, Rachel was unstoppable. She tirelessly went door-to-door throughout her neighborhood, determined to earn a prize trip to Cincinnati’s popular water park, The Beach.

“I sold over 300 boxes,” she laughs.

Years later, she carried that same determination into a summer job selling Cutco knives. Her parents initially questioned why she had invested in her demonstration set, but Rachel was determined to prove herself. By the end of the summer, she had earned enough money to buy her own car.

“It wasn’t really about the knives,” she says. “It taught me how to talk to people, build relationships, and earn trust.”

Those lessons were priceless.

From Ohio to Colorado After graduating college, Rachel moved to Colorado in 2001, drawn by the mountains, healthy lifestyle, and outdoor recreation.

“I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else,” she says.

At first, she wasn’t sure what career path she wanted to pursue.

She accepted what she thought would be a temporary job with a small company that hosted real estate training events.

The position quickly became much more.

Rachel began selling tickets to training seminars for real estate professionals. The company exceeded expectations, and within 6 months she was managing events, strategic

partnerships, and vendor relationships.

More importantly, she found herself sitting in the room with some of the best minds in the real estate industry.

“I call it my paid education,” she says. “I sat through hundreds of hours of training on sales, marketing, negotiations, scripts, and business development.”

When the company eventually changed ownership, Rachel found herself ready for a new challenge.

She had already earned her real estate license while working fulltime and knew exactly where she wanted to go next.

“I always knew I wanted to work for myself,” she says.

Some people don’t like change.

I actually thrive on it.”

That decision launched a career that has spanned some of the most dramatic market shifts in Colorado history.

Rachel entered the business during a balanced market. Less than 3 years later, the housing crash of 2008 transformed the industry.

Then came the devastating Boulder floods of 2013, which affected thousands of homes and dramatically reduced housing inventory. Years later, the Marshall Fire destroyed more than 1,000 homes in Boulder County. Then came the pandemic.

“Houses were selling for thirty percent over list price. It was crazy,” she remembers.

Today, the market has shifted once again. Fortunately, she is adaptable.

“Some people don’t like change,” she says. “I actually thrive on it.”

That willingness to evolve recently led her to join milehimodern, a brokerage known for its focus on cutting-edge technology, marketing, and innovation.

Helping Others What’s the most rewarding part of real estate? Helping people.

“The most exciting part is helping someone accomplish their goal,” she says.

and her husband, Brian, first met more than 20 years ago while working together at the real estate training company that launched both of their careers.

Today, Brian works in mortgage lending, giving the couple a unique understanding of the industry from both sides of the transaction.

“We’re able to support each other and understand what the other person is going through,” Rachel says.

Together they are raising two sons, Deker and Evan, who keep the family busy with competitive sports, skiing, swimming, and year-round activities.

“Parenting is really fun and really challenging,” Rachel says. “The boys are very different from each other, but they are absolutely my joy.”

The family spends as much time outdoors as possible, enjoying hiking, mountain biking, paddleboarding, swimming, and Colorado’s incredible mountain lifestyle. In 2025, they added Lily, a beloved dog Rachel affectionately calls their “sweet muffin,” to the family.

Final Thoughts While first-time homebuyers hold a special place in her heart, Rachel often finds herself helping clients through some of life’s most challenging seasons. Loss of a spouse. Divorce. Financial hardship. Major life transitions.

“I like helping people when they’re at their toughest point,” she says. “Being there for someone who really needs support is incredibly gratifying.”

Looking back, Rachel realizes that every job she ever had prepared her for this one. Selling Girl Scout cookies taught her persistence.

Selling Cutco knives taught her confidence. Years spent listening to clients, neighbors, and friends taught her empathy.

Twenty years into her real estate career, those lessons still guide her every day. Markets will rise and fall. Technology will continue to evolve. New

CONTACT challenges will inevitably emerge.

But Rachel knows one thing will never change: People will always need someone they can trust.

And that’s exactly the REALTOR® she has spent the last two decades becoming.

BOULDER, LOUISVILLE & SURROUNDING AREAS SALES STATS Today’s housing market feels less like a traditional buyer’s or seller’s market and more like a market moving sideways. Elevated interest rates have reduced urgency on both sides, with sellers less motivated to list and buyers taking more time to make decisions. Across several Front Range communities, home prices have remained remarkably flat since 2022, with Boulder values down 4.2%, Louisville up just 2.1%, and Fort Collins showing the largest increase at only 5.3%. Sales activity has also softened, with Boulder single-family and attached-home sales declining more than 25% in May and year-to-date sales down over 10%. Higher interest rates and rising HOA fees continue to impact attached homes, while communities such as Louisville and Lafayette have maintained relatively healthy activity and stable pricing. Despite the slower pace, overall sales levels remain near historical norms, demonstrating that the market continues to function steadily in a higherrate environment. For real estate professionals, this market may require additional prospecting and relationship-building, as the connections made today often become the business opportunities of tomorrow.

REALTOR® WHO MOVES

RAISING ALL BOATS IN THE HARBOR HOW KRISTI C L A RY B U I L D S COMMUNITY THROUGH CONNECTION, CREATIVITY, & COMPASSION

BY ELIZABETH MCCABE PHOTOS BY NICOLE TAYLOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Some people build careers, others build communities.

For Kristi Clary, a REALTOR® with milehimodern in Boulder, the two have never been separate. As a connector, 16 • August 2026

advocate, and champion of local businesses and nonprofits, she has built her life around a simple principle: when one person succeeds, the entire community benefits. Whether supporting local organizations, attending fundraisers, helping families through difficult transitions, or connecting people with resources, she is constantly finding ways to elevate those around her. When a friend has a new venture, she is the first one to sign up for their services. A colleague once told her, “You are the one who lifts all the boats in the harbor.”

“I believe we are here to support one another,” she says.

“Every opportunity I have to help someone grow, heal, connect, or thrive, strengthens the community. The power is really when people follow their passions, and I am always here to support that!”

Drawn to Colorado Originally from New York’s Finger Lakes region, Kristi came to Colorado as a college student and never looked back.

“I transferred to CU my junior year from Ithaca College, and fell in love with Boulder,” she says. “I was ready for something new, and Colorado was calling me.”

A sociology major, she was naturally drawn to careers centered around people. Before entering real estate, she worked in home healthcare, human resources, mortgages, and appraisals, gaining a deeper

understanding of how life transitions impact families and individuals. Rooted in spirituality, she has studied at Psychic Horizons, taken the Path of the Ceremonial Arts at the Starhouse, and is Reiki Certified. This informs her approach in life. Do things with intention, compassion and integrity.

Nine years ago, another major life transition helped shape her future. As a single mother and sole provider for her daughter, Ryanna, she needed a career that allowed her to be fully present as a parent while also creating financial stability.

“I had a child who needed a stay-at-home mom,” Kristi says. “Real estate allowed me to do both.”

After beginning her real estate career nearly a decade ago, Kristi worked with respected firms including RE/MAX and Colorado Landmark before finding her home at milehimodern.

The move felt natural.

“I was called to work for milehimodern because of their level of integrity and collaboration,” she says. “The leadership and coaching are unparalleled!”

HOMES HOLD ENERGY.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST NEED HELP SHIFTING THAT ENERGY TO CREATE A PLACE WHERE THEIR HEARTS CAN SETTLE.”

For Kristi, milehimodern is much more than a brokerage. It is a community of exceptionally talented professionals who believe in elevating one another. The collaborative culture mirrors the same values she strives to embody throughout her life.

“The brilliance of the people at milehimodern is its greatest strength,” she says.

“Everyone brings unique experiences, perspectives, and expertise. Together, we create something far greater than any of us could accomplish alone.”

She believes that commitment to excellence is reflected in every aspect of the company, from its design-forward marketing and thoughtful storytelling, to the elevated client experience that has become synonymous with the brand.

“There is an elevated way of doing business at milehimodern,” she explains.

“You see it in how properties are presented, how clients Boulder County Real Producers • 17

“I believe we are here to support one another,” she says.

“Every opportunity I have to help someone grow, heal, connect, or thrive, strengthens the community. The power is really when people follow their passions, and I am always here to support that!”

Drawn to Colorado Originally from New York’s Finger Lakes region, Kristi came to Colorado as a college student and never looked back.

“I transferred to CU my junior year from Ithaca College, and fell in love with Boulder,” she says. “I was ready for something new, and Colorado was calling me.”

A sociology major, she was naturally drawn to careers centered around people. Before entering real estate, she worked in home healthcare, human resources, mortgages, and appraisals, gaining a deeper

understanding of how life transitions impact families and individuals. Rooted in spirituality, she has studied at Psychic Horizons, taken the Path of the Ceremonial Arts at the Starhouse, and is Reiki Certified. This informs her approach in life. Do things with intention, compassion and integrity.

Nine years ago, another major life transition helped shape her future. As a single mother and sole provider for her daughter, Ryanna, she needed a career that allowed her to be fully present as a parent while also creating financial stability.

“I had a child who needed a stay-at-home mom,” Kristi says. “Real estate allowed me to do both.”

After beginning her real estate career nearly a decade ago, Kristi worked with respected firms including RE/MAX and Colorado Landmark before finding her home at milehimodern.

The move felt natural.

“I was called to work for milehimodern because of their level of integrity and collaboration,” she says. “The leadership and coaching are unparalleled!”

HOMES HOLD ENERGY.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST NEED HELP SHIFTING THAT ENERGY TO CREATE A PLACE WHERE THEIR HEARTS CAN SETTLE.”

For Kristi, milehimodern is much more than a brokerage. It is a community of exceptionally talented professionals who believe in elevating one another. The collaborative culture mirrors the same values she strives to embody throughout her life.

“The brilliance of the people at milehimodern is its greatest strength,” she says.

“Everyone brings unique experiences, perspectives, and expertise. Together, we create something far greater than any of us could accomplish alone.”

She believes that commitment to excellence is reflected in every aspect of the company, from its design-forward marketing and thoughtful storytelling, to the elevated client experience that has become synonymous with the brand.

“There is an elevated way of doing business at milehimodern,” she explains.

“You see it in how properties are presented, how clients Boulder County Real Producers • 17

are cared for, and how agents genuinely support one another.”

For someone who has spent her life building connections, supporting others, and creating beautiful, intentional spaces, the culture was a perfect match.

In many ways, the brokerage reflects the same belief that guides Kristi’s approach to community: when people come together and share their strengths, everyone rises.

For Kristi, every move, every home, and every major life transition is connected to a human story. She understands that behind every real estate transaction there may be excitement and possibility, but there also may be uncertainty, grief, fear or reinvention.

She understands because she has walked through those moments personally.

She leads with compassion, presence, and connection.

Committed to the Community Kristi and her daughter have long supported organizations that strengthen the Boulder community, including local theater and arts programs, small farm educational programs, and creatives.

Ryanna, now 18 and recent graduate from a Waldorf inspired performing arts high school, grew up going to Waldorf schools that are immersed in performance, creativity, and community involvement.

“We’ve been part of that community her whole life,” Kristi says. “It has shaped the way we show up in the world.”

Even their beloved dog, Pace’, a 125-pound Great Pyrenees/Colorado Mountain Dog, whose name means “peace” in Italian, reflects the atmosphere they immerse themselves in.

“Pace’ is an important part of our family life. He goes everywhere with us.

Everyone knows and loves him. People call him the gentle giant,” Kristi says.

Peace, creativity, and connection are recurring themes throughout Kristi’s life. They’re also reflected in her passion for design.

“It’s amazing how much our environments affect us,” she says. “When your home is aligned and intentional, everything flows better in every aspect of your life.”

Kristi finds her passion in helping people reimagine spaces. She recently completed a major renovation of her own home (the latest of many full renovations she has immersed herself in) and loves helping others see possibilities they might otherwise miss. Her design style is intentional and the aesthetic leans towards minimalism; curating spaces that evoke serenity.

“Homes hold energy,” she explains. “Sometimes people just need help shifting that energy to create a place where their hearts can settle.”

That creative eye has become one of her trademarks. As a certified stager, she loves helping clients prepare their homes for market. “My sister curates the most amazing pieces. It has been so much fun collaborating with her

BIG OR SMALL – WE HANDLE IT ALL. on many of my projects,” she says. But her passion extends well beyond staging. Home edits have become a part of her daily practice.

Whether she’s helping refine a room, supporting a local nonprofit, introducing people who can help one another, or showing up for a friend, her motivation remains the same: connection.

Through her work and her service, she’s the person quietly helping others succeed.

In an industry often focused on numbers and transactions, Kristi offers something different.

She reminds us that real estate is ultimately

about people, belonging, and supporting environments where individuals, families and communities can thrive. In a world that feels increasingly disconnected, that kind of investment matters.

From quick moves to full relocations, we show up on time, prepared, and ready to go.

Tara Jill ARMIJO MULLER Are Better Together

This Mother and Daughter Duo Leads the Way in Real Estate

BY ELIZABETH MCCABE

When the global economy fractured in 2008, the ground vanished beneath the fine art industry overnight. For two decades, Jill Muller and her husband ran a highly successful wholesale art publishing business, generating five million dollars a year in sales and supplying elite galleries from San Francisco to Miami. But as the banking debacle unfolded, galleries shuttered and discretionary spending evaporated. Jill found herself at a crossroads at 50 years old: watch her life’s work dissolve, or reinvent herself entirely.

At that exact time, her daughter, Tara Armijo, was preparing to attend the University of Colorado Boulder. Needing to secure student housing for Tara in a volatile market, Jill stepped into real estate as a buyer. That’s when she saw a spark of opportunity.

“I had been in sales my whole life,” Jill recalls. “I thought, ‘If I can sell art, I can sell houses.’ It’s not the same, but I knew art wasn’t going to survive, so I got my license in 2010. I had to think outside the box.”

Jill targeted her marketing toward out-of-state CU parents looking for properties for their college-bound children.

This brilliant niche strategy launched a powerhouse second career. For over a decade, Jill thrived as an independent agent across Colorado’s Front Range. But by 2022, managing a demanding, purely referral-based business on her own became overwhelming. Getting closer to retirement, she needed a partner who shared her standards.

Enter Tara.

I had Davie, I was attending a closing with my mom nine days later. This time around, having her as my partner means I can actually enjoy a real maternity leave knowing my clients are completely protected by someone who shares my exact values.”

The Convergence of Art and Strategy By 2022, Tara had spent nearly a decade in corporate advertising, working for a marketing agency for nine and a half years. After welcoming her first child, she craved professional autonomy and flexibility for her growing family.

Even Jill’s husband, Mark, who is fully retired and loves taking Jill on international trips to destinations like Marbella, Madrid, and Lisbon, occasionally nudges Jill to step back completely.

But Jill isn’t in a rush to step away. Real estate keeps her energized, sharp, and connected to the community. When she isn’t navigating contracts or practicing yoga, Jill is often seen volunteering throughout the community alongside her certified service animal, a golden retriever named Daisy, visiting local libraries to help young children practice reading.

“I’ve always loved interior design, and I loved watching my mom thrive,” Tara says. “The timing just lined up perfectly. My mom didn’t want to do this alone anymore, and she said, ‘Come join me.’”

Tara followed in her footsteps, learning directly from her expertise while mapping out a transition for the future.

Joining forces under the banner of milehimodern, the duo unlocked a rare synergy. Real estate marketing can be formulaic, but Tara and Jill combine high-level brand strategy with classical aesthetic design. Jill’s background in fine art gives her an intuitive eye for spatial layout and home staging, while Tara counters with corporate insight, data analysis, and digital strategy.

Authentic Growth As Tara looks toward the future, she reflects on the steep learning curve of the industry and the quiet confidence she has earned.

“During my first two years, I had major imposter syndrome,” Tara admits candidly. “I would ask myself why anyone would hire me when I’ve only been doing this for a year or two. But as you work through complex transactions, you realize how much care and strategy you truly bring to the table. I recently closed a transaction over $3,000,000 completely on my own, which felt like a massive professional milestone.”

“Between my marketing background and her fine art background, we have a very keen eye for good design and presenting properties in their absolute best light,” Tara explains.

Tech Time with Tara vs. Relational Depth While they operate hand-in-hand on every transaction, their internal dynamics bridge real estate’s past and its future.

Jill’s business is entirely referral-driven, built on trust and relationships. Tara has emerged as the team’s technological innovator, integrating artificial intelligence, cutting-edge market platforms, and deep-dive data analysis.

In fact, Tara hosts a weekly networking group with a small circle of milehimodern agents every Thursday. “Sometimes they call it ‘Tech Time with Tara,’” she smiles. “They’ll ask what new platform or tool I’m using. I’m constantly digging into the actual data to see which agents are showing properties in specific neighborhoods so we can reach out to them directly for our sellers.”

Yet, the duo refuses to let technology replace human authenticity and connection. In an industry where consumers know multiple agents, Tara and Jill differentiate themselves by curating a high-touch experience that extends far beyond the closing table.

What does that look like? “Going above and beyond means being truly authentic and caring about what is happening in their lives,” Tara says. “If a client has a baby, we send a gift. If they lose a pet, we are there for them. It’s about maintaining real relationships. We never want anyone to feel like we are pushing a house just to get a closing.”

22 • August 2026

Despite that success, Tara isn’t interested in the hyperaggressive, high-volume grind that characterizes many top producers. Her philosophy is entirely grounded in the present season of her life.

Navigating the Seasons of Life Working together has fundamentally reshaped their family dynamic, bringing mother and daughter closer than ever.

“We joke all the time that she can never fully retire now,” Tara laughs. “We talk every single day because of the business.

When I was in corporate marketing, we were close, but we certainly weren’t communicating daily. Because we are family, we can give each other honest feedback and vent openly. We get to bond over something beautiful every single day.”

That family safety net is about to become more critical than ever. Tara is currently balancing a packed life: she is a mother to 4-year-old Woods and 2-year-old Davie, manages a bustling career, and is expecting her third child this October.

“Working with family is an incredible blessing because the level of trust and respect is already absolute,” Tara says. “When

“I have two toddlers and a third baby on the way. My focus is entirely on meticulously taking care of my direct circle of people,” Tara notes. “If you take extraordinary care of the individuals right in front of you, the future business takes care of itself.”

Whether they’re helping clients navigate one of life’s biggest financial decisions or simply showing up for someone who needs encouragement, both women believe relationships are life’s greatest investment.

One brings experience. The other brings innovation.

Together, they’ve built a business grounded in trust, strengthened by family, and focused on people above everything else.

That’s a legacy that will outlast any transaction.

are especially popular because they provide the appearance of hardwood while offering improved durability and easier maintenance.

Larger planks and wider boards are increasingly common, helping rooms feel more spacious while minimizing visible seams and grout lines.

IN 2026

Lighter wood tones and warm neutrals remain favored, contributing to a bright and inviting atmosphere.

The kitchen continues to evolve beyond its traditional role as simply a place to cook. Today’s homeowners are designing kitchens that serve as gathering spaces, work areas, entertainment hubs, and extensions of their overall home style. Industry experts predict several design trends will continue to gain momentum throughout 2026, blending beauty, practicality, and comfort.

Kitchens Designed for Everyday Living

Blending Traditional and Modern Styles One of the strongest design movements remains the transitional kitchen. This approach combines classic design elements with clean, contemporary features, creating spaces that feel both timeless and current. Homeowners are increasingly choosing designs that avoid extremes, favoring a balanced look that works well for years to come.

Highly themed styles such as farmhouse or Mediterranean kitchens have become less dominant, while flexible, mixedstyle designs continue to appeal to a wider audience.

24 • August 2026

Warm Neutrals Continue to Lead

Natural Wood Cabinetry Remains Popular

Although bold colors often receive attention in design magazines, neutral palettes remain the preferred choice for many kitchens. Whites, grays, taupes, browns, and soft blacks continue to dominate cabinetry, countertops, and finishes.

Wood cabinetry continues to make a strong statement, particularly lighter species such as white oak. Its clean grain and warm appearance fit well within both modern and traditional homes.

At the same time, homeowners are beginning to introduce more color through accents.

Shades of green and blue are particularly popular, appearing in backsplashes, islands, wallpaper, decorative accessories, and painted cabinetry.

Darker woods, including walnut, are also gaining interest as homeowners seek richer tones and added contrast.

Flat-panel cabinet doors and streamlined designs remain highly desirable, while classic shaker styles continue to hold their place as a versatile option.

Many new kitchens also feature floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and integrated appliances that blend seamlessly with cabinet panels for a clean, uncluttered appearance.

Quartz Takes Center Stage When selecting countertops, homeowners increasingly favor materials that combine durability with attractive design. Quartz remains one of the most popular options because it offers the appearance of natural stone while requiring minimal maintenance.

Quartzite is also becoming more widely used, offering

natural beauty and strength.

Traditional granite continues to lose some popularity, while marble, although still admired for its elegance, is often avoided because of its higher maintenance requirements.

Lighter countertop colors paired with darker cabinetry are especially popular, along with matte and honed finishes that provide a softer appearance than highly polished surfaces.

Seamless Backsplashes Gain Attention Tile remains a dependable and attractive choice for kitchen backsplashes, particularly ceramic and porcelain options that offer durability and easy maintenance.

Today’s kitchens are becoming highly personalized spaces that support a variety of daily activities. Dedicated beverage stations, coffee bars, and entertaining areas are increasingly common features.

Additional functional spaces such as pet feeding stations, homework areas, home office nooks, and mudroom connections are also gaining popularity. These additions reflect the growing role of the kitchen as the central gathering place within the home.

As homeowners continue to prioritize comfort, convenience, and versatility, kitchen design in 2026 appears focused on creating spaces that are both beautiful and highly functional.

However, more homeowners are choosing continuous stone surfaces that extend from the countertop up the wall. These seamless backsplashes create a sleek appearance, reduce grout lines, and contribute to a more modern, streamlined kitchen design.

THE TRUTH ABOUT

SOLAR

Why One Colorado Company Is Helping REALTORS® Stop Cringing at Solar Panels

BY ELIZABETH MCCABE * PHOTOS BY JULIA COLLARDSON

Mention solar panels during a real estate transaction and watch what happens.

The seller insists the system adds tens of thousands of dollars in value.

The buyer worries they’re inheriting a financial nightmare. The agent braces for paperwork headaches, transfer delays, and unanswered questions.

Somewhere along the way, solar earned a reputation as real estate’s four-letter word.

Kate Collardson is determined to change that.

With more than 20 years of experience in 26 • August 2026

the solar industry, Kate has seen firsthand how misinformation, confusion, and fear can overshadow the very real benefits solar can provide homeowners. That’s exactly why she and cofounder Matt Essig launched Solar Service of Colorado.

“Our goal is to help real estate agents have a better relationship with solar,” Kate explains. “Solar tends to be a four-letter word in real estate.

I’m trying to make it the fiveletter word it deserves to be.”

Education is paramount to changing people’s perceptions about solar.

While many people assume solar automatically complicates a transaction, Kate believes most concerns stem from one simple problem: homeowners, buyers, and even agents often don’t fully understand what they’re looking at.

“Take a deep breath,” she says. “There’s no reason to be

afraid of a home just because it has solar.”

In fact, solar can offer significant advantages.

For homeowners, it can reduce monthly electricity costs and help protect against future utility rate increases.

When paired with battery storage, solar can even provide backup power during extended outages caused by storms, extreme weather, or grid failures.

Yet misconceptions continue to dominate conversations.

One of the biggest myths?

That every solar lease or

“I’ve seen many arrangements that provide tremendous value to homeowners,” Kate says.

“Just because a system is leased doesn’t mean it’s a bad situation.”

Another common misunderstanding is that solar systems don’t need inspections. Kate strongly disagrees. “If there’s solar on the home, it should always be inspected.”

the energy it’s supposed to produce, how much life remains in the equipment, what warranties are still active, and whether the system was installed properly.

That’s exactly what Solar Service of Colorado provides.

The company’s comprehensive inspections dive deep into system performance, ownership structure, monitoring capabilities, warranties,

“People are making decisions without having all the information,” Kate explains.

THE TRUTH ABOUT

SOLAR

Why One Colorado Company Is Helping REALTORS® Stop Cringing at Solar Panels

BY ELIZABETH MCCABE * PHOTOS BY JULIA COLLARDSON

Mention solar panels during a real estate transaction and watch what happens.

The seller insists the system adds tens of thousands of dollars in value.

The buyer worries they’re inheriting a financial nightmare. The agent braces for paperwork headaches, transfer delays, and unanswered questions.

Somewhere along the way, solar earned a reputation as real estate’s four-letter word.

Kate Collardson is determined to change that.

With more than 20 years of experience in 26 • August 2026

the solar industry, Kate has seen firsthand how misinformation, confusion, and fear can overshadow the very real benefits solar can provide homeowners. That’s exactly why she and cofounder Matt Essig launched Solar Service of Colorado.

“Our goal is to help real estate agents have a better relationship with solar,” Kate explains. “Solar tends to be a four-letter word in real estate.

I’m trying to make it the fiveletter word it deserves to be.”

Education is paramount to changing people’s perceptions about solar.

While many people assume solar automatically complicates a transaction, Kate believes most concerns stem from one simple problem: homeowners, buyers, and even agents often don’t fully understand what they’re looking at.

“Take a deep breath,” she says. “There’s no reason to be

afraid of a home just because it has solar.”

In fact, solar can offer significant advantages.

For homeowners, it can reduce monthly electricity costs and help protect against future utility rate increases.

When paired with battery storage, solar can even provide backup power during extended outages caused by storms, extreme weather, or grid failures.

Yet misconceptions continue to dominate conversations.

One of the biggest myths?

That every solar lease or

“I’ve seen many arrangements that provide tremendous value to homeowners,” Kate says.

“Just because a system is leased doesn’t mean it’s a bad situation.”

Another common misunderstanding is that solar systems don’t need inspections. Kate strongly disagrees. “If there’s solar on the home, it should always be inspected.”

the energy it’s supposed to produce, how much life remains in the equipment, what warranties are still active, and whether the system was installed properly.

That’s exactly what Solar Service of Colorado provides.

The company’s comprehensive inspections dive deep into system performance, ownership structure, monitoring capabilities, warranties,

“People are making decisions without having all the information,” Kate explains.

“Our job is to help everyone understand what they have and whether it’s working as efficiently as it should.”

home system, it requires maintenance, education, and periodic evaluation. But Kate believes the conversation around solar needs to evolve from fear and assumptions to facts and understanding.

Her advice to agents is simple: don’t avoid the conversation. Instead, ask questions. Learn how the system works. Understand the ownership structure.

And most importantly, get it inspected.

“Whether it’s the buyer or the seller, everyone benefits from knowing exactly what they’re dealing with,” Kate says.

For Kate and the team at Solar Service of Colorado, that’s what this business is all about: bringing clarity to a rapidly growing industry and helping homeowners, buyers, and REALTORS® make informed decisions.

Because sometimes the biggest problem with solar isn’t the system on the roof. It’s the misconceptions surrounding it.

repairs, maintenance, and guidance. The company also helps homeowners transfer monitoring systems, understand warranties, and navigate the complexities that often accompany solar ownership.

For REALTORS®, the service can be especially valuable.

A solar inspection can remove much of the uncertainty surrounding a transaction, provide documentation for potential buyers, and demonstrate that a system has been professionally evaluated.

In many cases, that transparency can transform solar from a perceived liability into a legitimate selling feature.

And the benefits of solar extend beyond individual homes.

According to Kate, solar has quietly become one of the most cost-effective energy resources available today.

Twenty years ago, the idea that solar could compete with traditional power generation seemed almost impossible. Today, utilityscale solar projects are often less expensive to build than new coal, natural gas, or nuclear facilities.

“Solar is one of the fastest and most cost-effective energy resources available to us,” she says.

COINCIDENCE OR

GOD’S PHARMACY?

BY DR. FELICIA SANTELLI

id you ever look at a food and think it resembled a body part? Many of Nature’s foods do resemble human body parts.

Nature gives us clues about how to nourish our bodies, since those foods are often used to support the body part they look like.

So, the two-look similar.

Coincidence? Probably not! There are no accidents in Nature.

Nature often provides visual clues about the nutritional benefits of foods—a concept historically known as the “Doctrine of Signatures”. Many plant-based foods closely resemble the specific organs they support. For centuries, this idea suggested that nature provides visual clues about which foods support which organs.

in the leaves, flowers, or roots to help cure the ailments of mankind.

The concept of relying on the plant’s appearance for clues to its medicinal properties has existed since ancient times in many cultures, including Native American herbalism, Indian Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, Greek medicine, and African herbalism.

When we understand this synchronicity, it gives us and intuitive approach to using ‘food as medicine’ and shows us how our food choices can relate to our health and well-being.

Here are a few examples of researched foods that look like the body parts they benefit.

Avocado - Uterus People looked to nature for remedies to relieve suffering from various ailments. Maybe it was a well-planned biological design that ancient healers were able to rely on a plant’s appearance for clues to its medicinal properties because they found that some plant foods resemble the body parts they benefit.

Dioscorides, a medicine practitioner in ancient Rome, was believed to have said: “The Herb Scorpius resembles the tail of the Scorpion and is good against his biting.”

The general idea developed that “a like could bring good benefit to what it looked like,” or something that resembled something would be suitable for that ailment. It became a widespread belief, with many thinking that the divine intentionally made these signatures 30 • August 2026

The ‘light bulb’ shape of the avocado looks like a uterus and supports its health. Avocadoes are a good source of folic acid, which can reduce the risk for cervical dysplasia, a precancerous condition. It helps the health and function of the womb and cervix and helps balance hormones. Interestingly, it takes exactly nine months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened

thereby helping to prevent coronary heart disease.

Ginger – Stomach (Digestion) Root ginger often looks like the stomach, so it is interesting that is biggest benefit is aiding digestion. It calms the stomach, cures nausea, and helps with motion sickness. Gingerol is a phytochemical with the ability to prevent nausea and vomiting.

Celery – Bone or Rhubarb and Bone Long, lean stalks of celery look just like bones and are good for them. They target bone strength.

Celery is a good source of silicon which is part of the molecular structure that gives bones their strength. Bones are around 23% sodium and celery is high in sodium If you don’t have enough sodium in the diet, the body pulls it from the bones which makes them weak. Celery replenishes the skeletal needs of the body.

Onions and Body’s Cells Onions look like the body’s cells.

Research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They also produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.

The phytochemicals in onions improve the working of Vitamin C in the body which improves immunity. They also contain chromium which helps regulate blood sugar.

Ginseng and Veins Tomato - Heart When cut open, tomatoes resemble the four chambers of the heart. Tomatoes contains Lycopene, a plant chemical that reduces the risk of heart disease and several cancers. If you mix them with a little fat like olive oil or avocado, it greatly boosts the body’s lycopene absorption.

Experiments have shown that lycopene helps counter the effect of unhealthy LDL cholesterol

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

Ginseng not only resembles the nervous system but supports it by reducing stress. It protects nerve cells from damage and promotes nerve cell survival and regeneration. Ginseng acts as an adaptogen helping the body to manage physical and psychological stress naturally.

Walnuts and Brain A walnut looks like the brain with a left and right hemisphere and

upper and lower chambers. Even the folds and wrinkles resemble the neo-cortex of the brain so it’s no wonder it is nicknamed ‘brain food’. Walnuts develop many neurotransmitters for brain function. Walnut extract was found to break down the proteinbased plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

Citrus - Breasts Orange and grapefruit look like the mammary glands and can assist the health f the breasts moving the lymph. Grapefruit contains limonoids which can inhibit development of cancer in breast cells.

Broccoli and Cells The tiny green tips of a broccoli head look like hundreds of cancer cells. Eating broccoli was found to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Mushrooms - Ear Mushrooms are one of few foods that contain Vitamin D which is important for healthy bones even the tiny ones in the ear.

Figs - Scrotum Figs hang in twos when they grow. Fig seeds increase the motility of male sperm and the numbers of the sperm which help to overcome male sterility.

Sweet Potatoes and Pancreas The sweet potato not only resembles the pancreas but promotes healthy function in the organ. It is high in beta-carotene which is an antioxidant that protects all tissues of the body including the pancreas from damage associated with cancer or aging and balances the glycemic index of diabetics.

Almonds and Eyes

Grapes - Lungs

Clams - Testicles

Our lungs are made up of branches of small airways that end up with tiny bunches of tissues called alveoli. These structures which resemble bunches of grapes allow oxygen to pass from the lungs to the blood stream. Grapes have been shown to reduce the risk of lung cancer and emphysema. Grape seeds contain a chemical called proanthocyanin which may reduce the severity of asthma triggered by allergies.

Clams, which have a resemblance to testicles are also good for the male sex organs. They contain folic acid and zinc which improves the effect of semen.

Beans - Kidneys Kidney beans heal and help maintain kidney function and they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Red Wine - Blood Red wine is a source of antioxidants and polyphenols, including resveratrol, and looks like blood. It helps protect against LDL cholesterol which can cause heart disease. Red wine contains a blood-thinning compound which reduces blood clots associated with stroke and heart disease.

Olives - Ovaries Not shown on the chart:
