It takes a particular kind of person to move from Chicago to the Front Range, especially at the tail end of the analog age before cell phones and the internet kept connection to family and friends relatively easy. Mark Bossert is a particular kind of person, a person who has an eye for potential, not only in a home that needs some work, but in a market that doesn’t look too promising.

It’s hard to imagine the Front Range, especially Boulder County, looking anything like an unpromising market, but the region struggled during the 1980s when Mark first lived in the region. While the rest of the country experienced the Ronald Reagan economic boom, much of Colorado experienced back to back recessions.

Mark was undeterred.

“I went to college at the University of Colorado in Boulder,” he explains. “I’m from Chicago, and just fell in love with Boulder—300 days of sunshine a year, no humidity. During my last couple of years of college, I started doing a lot of reading on real estate and flipping houses, so I gravitated toward real estate.

“I called up a realtor and said, ‘Hey, my dad is going to buy me a house in Boulder, can you start showing me houses?’ And he did, but after he showed me about 10 houses, I think he realized I didn’t have any money,” Mark says with a laugh.

“The broker asked to speak with my dad, and I very reluctantly gave him my dad’s number. So, he calls my dad, and my dad had no clue.” Mark is still laughing about this little trick he used to tour homes in Boulder in the mid 80s.

10 • February 2025

As much as he wanted to get into real estate in Colorado at the time, the market kept him out. “I went back to Chicago, got my license, and started working for a company called Inland Real Estate Corp. They were the largest landlord in Illinois at the time. They had a commercial division, and I started working commercial real estate in a business suit every day, selling multifamily properties.”

He’d walk around downtown Chicago with a tape recorder, taking audio notes about potential properties that Inland could list. He’d then return to the office and cold call for prospects. On the side, he bought a triplex with a friend. They renovated it together, and then put it on the market for a rental.

Mark enjoyed the work, but by 1990, he made it back out to Boulder. He found more work in commercial real estate and started investing in property himself.

“You could buy houses back then for a hundred grand, so I bought a couple houses and renovated them,” Mark remembers.

In a short time, though, he realized he had a knack for helping people see homes the way he saw them—not for what a house looked like immediately, but for what

a house could become. “My brain is always asking, ‘how do I add value?’” he says.

He leveraged his eye for potential and struck out on his own as a residential realtor in the early 90s. “The property values started to go crazy right when I got here, so my timing was good. Right now things are a little bit on the flat side, but nonetheless, it’s been a good ride. I have people that help me out when I need assistance, but I’m the only broker with Bossert Residential,” he says without self aggrandizing.

There’s gratitude and maybe even a bit of surprise in his voice as he realizes what he’s been able to do over the last thirty-nine years.

In that time, Mark has become a bonafide Boulder local even though his accent and midwestern manner betray his Chicago roots.

He describes that transition—“I remember in Chicago after I graduated from college, I was getting ready to go on a date, and I didn’t have central AC. I got out of the shower, and I put this shirt on and I just

drenched through it because of the humidity. I just sat there, and I cried. I’m like, ‘Why do I live here? I can move back to Boulder.’

And I did. Now I live right smack next to Folsom field, and many of my friends park in my driveway for football games. I walk to the football games, I walk to the basketball games. My wife and I walk through campus on Sunday mornings; it’s a beautiful campus. We do a lot of walking and I used to be a skier, but I finally sold my skis two years ago. I play golf—not as much as I would like, but that’s a good way for fun networking.”

But the thing that matters most to Mark is the people in his life, whether it’s his fraternity brothers from college, his clients with their project houses, or his wife and kids.

“There were thirty guys in my pledge class and to this day nine of us out of that thirty are in a fantasy football league,” Mark says. “We travel every year in August to spend three days together, and pick our

teams. We’re on a group text together, and it keeps us connected. It’s just tangible.”

He talks with pride about his daughter, Grace, who works in wealth management back in Chicago, and his son, Jack, who’s made his own life in Boulder. Mark is a beaming father who’s really happy his kids are finding their way in the world.

Oh, and it would be remiss to not mention Mark’s deep affection for the miniature long-haired dachshund named Bucky and the two cats he keeps nearby.

Mark met his wife, Emily, while showing a potential house for a client.

He remembers, “I was showing a house and there’s typically not someone from the listing side that’s there, but I walk up to the front door and the door’s open.

I walk in, and here’s this woman, Emily, sitting at the kitchen table and she looks like Jennifer Aniston.”

Mark saw lots of potential.

“I’m like shazam, you know?

I ran through this house as quickly as I could even though it was like a 6,000 square foot house so that I could come back to the kitchen and start asking her all the questions,” he laughs. “ When I was single, I would want to know things like, ‘Where do your parents live?

Do you keep in touch with your parents? When’s the last time you talked to your mom?’ I mean, those were the kinds of questions I’d ask.

So, I drilled her on all these questions, and then I reached out to her on LinkedIn and said, ‘Hey, you know, I really enjoy chatting with you.

You’d be a cool friend. We

should get to know each other better.’”

But Emily was in a relationship at the time and politely refused. He wrote back, “Hey, when that doesn’t work out, you call me. I guarantee you, we’re going to have a good time.”

It didn’t take long.

“Two weeks later,” Mark says, “she actually broke up with the guy, called me back, and we’ve been together for ten years now, married for seven.”

“She’s so beautiful with such a big heart, and it’s super fun to be able to talk shop with my wife,” he continues. “If I complain about something, she’s asks, ‘Are you making your calls?

Are you writing your notes?’

She has all the answers. We have a couple investments together and we talk about the market all the time. It’s just fun to have a spouse who really appreciates the business and is super successful on her own.”

And the business, for Mark, is all about the people he gets to help. “I care and I treat each customer’s purchase like I would my own. I’m not trying to shove a deal down people’s throat, “ he explains. “I’ve talked people out of buying houses. I’ve said, ‘Hey, this foundation is going to be challenging,’ or another time a house was on a semi-busy road, and I mentioned to the client, ‘Since you have a young child, I would park your car and hang out and look—watch the road around five o’clock in the afternoon. Make sure you feel comfortable living on this road.’

“Those people ended up not buying the house and moving to Denver. I didn’t make a sale, but I’m in it for the long haul and I want to always do what’s right.”

Mark Bossert sees lots of potential, but he sees people first, and that’s what truly sets him apart.

HEALTH AND LONGEVITY

BY DR. FELICIA SANTELLI

Love —THE MOST POWERFUL HEALING FORCE THERE IS

(Anita wrote “Dying to be Me ” after having a near death experience.

I submit the following as written by her. I have added closing paragraphs after the quotes.)

Love Yourself Before All the Rest - Anita Moorjani “How could I have said something so stupid?”

“That was so dumb of me! I should have known better!”

“I will never get it right! Why am I even bothering to try?”

20 • February 2025

“I wish I wasn’t so clumsy! Why can’t I be more elegant and graceful, like Janet?”

“Does any of that sound familiar to you? That was my inner voice, several years ago. That was the voice in my head, constantly nagging, putting myself down, wishing I was different, better, smarter, stronger, more spiritual. Wishing I was anyone but who I am.

The most meaningful lesson I learned from being at death’s door is that unless I love myself,

nothing else in my life can function at its best. The amount of depth, meaning, and joy I experience in my life is in direct proportion to how much love I have for myself.

The amount of love, kindness, patience I have for others is also directly proportional to how much love, patience, and kindness I have for myself, because we cannot give others what we ourselves do not have. And, surprisingly, the amount of love, respect, support, and compassion I receive from others is also in direct proportion to how much of the same I have for myself.

Many of us are taught from a young age to “love our neighbors as we love ourselves”. But what if we don’t love ourselves? What if we are our own worst enemy, and our own harshest critic? If we treat others as we treat ourselves, then are we judging everyone else with the same harsh brush that we are using to paint ourselves? Is this why there are more people on our planet obsessed with trying to condemn anyone who is different, instead of learning to embrace everyone who shares our earth, and rejoice in our differences?

Learning to love others begins with learning to love ourselves first. This seems to be a well-kept secret, which no one taught me as I was growing up. On the contrary, I was encouraged from a young age to put myself last, that it is selfish to love ourselves, or put us first. In fact, I used to give and give of myself, without tending to my own needs, to the point that I became so drained it started to affect my health. Continuing like this, I constantly believed that I needed to work on myself because I wasn’t good enough as I am. So, I continued to work on being ‘better’, kinder’, more ‘loving’, more ‘spiritual’. I was always judging myself because I never felt I made the mark.

And then I got cancer.

In fact, I didn’t just get cancer, I nearly died from cancer! But my cancer was the greatest gift I could ever have. Nearly dying taught me how to live.

My cancer taught me the importance of loving and valuing myself for who I am – a perfect being of the Universe, who is worthy and deserving of love, without needing to prove myself, better myself or change myself in any way. I became aware that I am someone who has a right to express my uniqueness.

I now also understand that I don’t have to work at being spiritual. Being spiritual is who we are, at our core, whether

we realize it or not. It is our true nature, so we cannot not be spiritual! Being yourself and being spiritual are one and the same thing.

Because of my experience, I will never forsake myself ever again. I will never let myself down, treat myself like a doormat, or make myself small so others can feel big. I have learned that this is the biggest gift that I give not only to myself, but also to the planet, because I

paint others with the same brush as I use on myself.

My life is much more joyful and meaningful now, and I have much more love to share with others that I ever did before, and without draining myself. But most important, I now understand that if I do not express my authenticity, the Universe will be deprived of who I came here to be.”

We can learn a lot from Anita’s experience. Love is a strong emotion, representing humankind.

Love improves self-esteem, which leads to better self-care.

Self-love is key because when you love yourself, you are much more likely to engage in activities that contribute to better nutrition and physical fitness, and less likely to make unhealthy lifestyle choices.

Love can be a great antidote to stress. It counteracts the fight-or-flight response. Love encourages the body to produce oxytocin, the “feel-good” or ‘love’ hormone, which can improve the immune system.

Love also causes the production in the brain of norepinephrine and dopamine, which lead to increased feelings of joy and pleasure.

Love really is your best medicine.

Not just at Valentine’s Day, but all year around, it is important to remind yourself that there is so much more to love than just romantic love. There is love of life, love of nature, love of animals, love of others, and love of self, and all these acts of love provide amazing health benefits.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

COACHING CORNER

A Journey

Toward

BY EMILY BOSSERT

• Skills Development: Sharpening your knowledge to deliver unparalleled value.

• Mindset Mastery: Building resilience and emotional intelligence to overcome challenges.

• Accountability and Structure: Staying focused and organized to achieve consistent results.

• Doing the Work: Showing up, applying what you’ve learned, and persisting through challenges.

In real estate, mastery means fine-tuning your ability to create exceptional client experiences, becoming a trusted advisor, and running your business with clarity and purpose.

Real Estate Mastery

THE FOUNDATIONS OF MASTERY To achieve mastery in real estate, let’s focus on these actionable pillars: 1. Skills Development Successful agents never stop learning. Whether it’s refining negotiation strategies, perfecting the listing consultation, or leveraging the latest technology, growth requires consistent and intentional effort.

2. Mindset Mastery Jim Rohn famously said: “Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better.” In this industry, challenges are inevitable, but how you respond determines your success. Cultivate a growth mindset by reframing obstacles as opportunities and committing to personal resilience. For instance, if a deal unexpectedly falls apart, instead of focusing on the loss, ask yourself: What lessons can I learn from this situation? How can I adapt my approach to better serve my clients and strengthen future opportunities?

3. Accountability and Structure Even the most talented agents need structure to succeed. As Joshua Spodek writes: ’Freedom exists in structure; it’s not chaos, randomness, or luck.’ Setting clear goals and tracking your progress are essential. Create systems that streamline your daily workflow—like a referral follow-up schedule or a marketing checklist. Accountability ensures you stay consistent and focused on what matters most.

In a world that often prioritizes instant results and quick fixes, the quest of mastery offers a refreshing counterbalance.

Mastery takes time—research by Anders Ericsson, the father of deliberate practice, suggests that achieving mastery in any field requires approximately 10,000 hours of focused practice. It’s about showing up consistently, welcoming the process, and trusting that growth happens one step at a time.

Real estate is more than transactions, numbers, and deals.

It’s about people, relationships, and transformation. For professionals, it’s a journey of connection and growth both for the clients we serve and for ourselves.

My path from sales manager to business coach has been guided by a deep commitment to helping others thrive—in both their careers and personal lives—so they can show up

as their whole, integrated selves. This philosophy is rooted in mastery: refining your craft, aligning with your unique purpose, and embracing the continual evolution of your skills Mastery is not about perfection; it’s about progress, intention, and fortitude. As Tim Ferriss writes: “Mastery is a journey, not a destination. True masters never believe they have attained mastery. There is always more to be learned and greater skill to be developed.”

insightful book explores the process of achieving mastery and embracing it as a lifelong path to growth.

TAKE ACTION To move toward mastery this month,, here are three simple steps you can take: • Refine Your Listing Consultation: Dedicate time to reviewing and improving your approach. Add or remove elements to ensure it resonates with today’s market.

• Reconnect with Clients: Identify five past clients or key contacts and reach out with a personalized message to reestablish the relationship.

• Choose one Skill to Improve: Pick one area of your business—whether it’s objection handling, time management, or social media marketing—and commit to deliberate practice over the next 90 days.

SETTING THE TONE FOR 2025 As we are now in 2025, this is the perfect time to embrace the principles of mastery and align your business with your longterm vision. Mastery is about progress, not perfection, and the start of a new year gives you the natural opportunity to assess where you stand and where you want to head.

Ask yourself: • What’s working well in your business that you can build upon?

• Where do you feel stuck? What adjustments can you make?

• How can you align your daily actions with the bigger picture of your long-term goals?

Taking small, consistent actions will create the momentum you need to set the tone for a successful year. Whether it’s implementing better systems, reconnecting with your clients, or dedicating time to skill development, each intentional step strengthens your commitment to mastery.

4. Doing the Work Mastery ultimately comes down to taking action. You must consistently apply the skills you’ve developed, even during challenging times. Whether business is booming or slow, showing up with intention and commitment supports steady business growth If you’d like to dive deeper into the science of mastery, I recommend reading Mastery by George Leonard.

Add Value

13 Simple Ways to to Your Home Before Selling

PROVIDED BY: CRAFT YOUR HAPPY PLACE

S

elling your home is kind of like dating: you want to show your best self, make a good impression and hopefully, close the deal. Preparing your house for potential buyers is more than just dusting the furniture, just as getting ready for a big night out involves more than just looking in the mirror.

Today’s buyers can be savvy and well informed, so providing added value to your house prior to listing it for sale can be the difference between success and failure. Even if you’re just trying to make a good first impression or highlight key features, these small changes can help increase your home’s value and attract serious buyers.

Enhance Outdoor Outdoor spaces are a big selling point, whether it’s a small balcony or a sprawling backyard. If you have a space where a fire pit, some comfortable seating, or some string lights could be added, you have an inviting area. If you do have a garden, make sure it’s well tended, buyers love outdoor spaces that feel like an extension of the home.

Update the Kitchen Often the kitchen is the heart of the home, and buyers pay more attention to it than any other space. A full remodel isn’t necessary to impress—new cabinet handles, a stylish backsplash or modern light fixtures can breathe new life into the room. Swapping out old appliances for stainless steel can even make a difference.

Freshen up the Paint Like a facelift for your home, a fresh coat of paint will give your home a brand new appearance. A wide range of buyers tend to be attracted to neutral colors, usually light grays, creams, or soft blues. Not only does paint make a room look brighter, it also makes spaces feel larger and more modern. It’s also one of the least expensive ways to update your home’s interior.

Spruce up the Bathrooms Bathrooms are another big selling point and a few quick updates can have a big impact, as this The Property Centre artice attests. Updating the space can be as simple as replacing old faucets, regrouting tile, or putting in a new mirror. If that’s in the budget, upgrade the vanity or add new fixtures.

Bathrooms that feel modern and spa like are loved by buyers.

Declutter and Depersonalize It’s less is more when you stage a home. Eliminate personal items, too much furniture and clutter to leave behind a clean, inviting space where buyers can imagine themselves living there. This can be a difficult part, as you’re giving up your personal items, but you’re trying to make a clean slate for potential buyers.

Improve Lighting Dark dingy spaces are not the thing of dreams. Replace old light bulbs with energy – efficient ones, add floor lamps to dark corners, or install new fixtures in the kitchen and living room. The right lighting makes rooms seem bigger, warmer, friendlier.

26 • February 2025

Replace Old Hardware

Deep Clean the Carpets

Stage the Furniture

Stained old carpets might not be something you’ve noticed for a while, but to a buyer, they can be a big turn off. Even replacing worn out carpet with new, neutral colored flooring can make a huge difference. A clean floor throughout the house makes the whole place feel fresh and looked after.

You don’t need to hire a pro stager, but moving your furniture can make a big difference. Make sure the living room has cozy conversation areas, put the furniture in the living room to show off the home’s best features and make sure every room has a clear purpose. A home staged well can feel more functional and livable.

Door handles, cabinet knobs and light switch plates are small details that can make a surprisingly big difference in how updated your home looks. One of the quickest and cheapest ways to refresh your space is to swap out old, worn hardware for more modern options.

Fix Small Repairs A leaky faucet, squeaky door or cracked tile may not seem like much, but buyers do notice. Make sure that any small

repairs you have on your to do list get done. Buyers just feel better buying a home that has been well maintained and cared for, and they will feel more inclined to make an offer.

Add Smart Home Features Having a few smart home features is more important than ever, as technology is more widespread than ever. Installing a smart thermostat, keyless entry or even a few security cameras can make your home feel modern without breaking the bank.

Make the Entryway The entryway is the first impression of the home. The new doormat, or a fancy coat rack, or even some art on the walls, will add a lovely welcoming touch. Even small touches like a little bench or just a mirror can make a space warm and inviting and give buyers a great first impression of the property.

Add Value

13 Simple Ways to to Your Home Before Selling

PROVIDED BY: CRAFT YOUR HAPPY PLACE

S

elling your home is kind of like dating: you want to show your best self, make a good impression and hopefully, close the deal. Preparing your house for potential buyers is more than just dusting the furniture, just as getting ready for a big night out involves more than just looking in the mirror.

Today’s buyers can be savvy and well informed, so providing added value to your house prior to listing it for sale can be the difference between success and failure. Even if you’re just trying to make a good first impression or highlight key features, these small changes can help increase your home’s value and attract serious buyers.

Enhance Outdoor Outdoor spaces are a big selling point, whether it’s a small balcony or a sprawling backyard. If you have a space where a fire pit, some comfortable seating, or some string lights could be added, you have an inviting area. If you do have a garden, make sure it’s well tended, buyers love outdoor spaces that feel like an extension of the home.

Update the Kitchen Often the kitchen is the heart of the home, and buyers pay more attention to it than any other space. A full remodel isn’t necessary to impress—new cabinet handles, a stylish backsplash or modern light fixtures can breathe new life into the room. Swapping out old appliances for stainless steel can even make a difference.

Freshen up the Paint Like a facelift for your home, a fresh coat of paint will give your home a brand new appearance. A wide range of buyers tend to be attracted to neutral colors, usually light grays, creams, or soft blues. Not only does paint make a room look brighter, it also makes spaces feel larger and more modern. It’s also one of the least expensive ways to update your home’s interior.

Spruce up the Bathrooms Bathrooms are another big selling point and a few quick updates can have a big impact, as this The Property Centre artice attests. Updating the space can be as simple as replacing old faucets, regrouting tile, or putting in a new mirror. If that’s in the budget, upgrade the vanity or add new fixtures.

Bathrooms that feel modern and spa like are loved by buyers.

Declutter and Depersonalize It’s less is more when you stage a home. Eliminate personal items, too much furniture and clutter to leave behind a clean, inviting space where buyers can imagine themselves living there. This can be a difficult part, as you’re giving up your personal items, but you’re trying to make a clean slate for potential buyers.

Improve Lighting Dark dingy spaces are not the thing of dreams. Replace old light bulbs with energy – efficient ones, add floor lamps to dark corners, or install new fixtures in the kitchen and living room. The right lighting makes rooms seem bigger, warmer, friendlier.

Replace Old Hardware

Deep Clean the Carpets

Stage the Furniture

Stained old carpets might not be something you’ve noticed for a while, but to a buyer, they can be a big turn off. Even replacing worn out carpet with new, neutral colored flooring can make a huge difference. A clean floor throughout the house makes the whole place feel fresh and looked after.

You don’t need to hire a pro stager, but moving your furniture can make a big difference. Make sure the living room has cozy conversation areas, put the furniture in the living room to show off the home’s best features and make sure every room has a clear purpose. A home staged well can feel more functional and livable.

Door handles, cabinet knobs and light switch plates are small details that can make a surprisingly big difference in how updated your home looks. One of the quickest and cheapest ways to refresh your space is to swap out old, worn hardware for more modern options.

Fix Small Repairs A leaky faucet, squeaky door or cracked tile may not seem like much, but buyers do notice. Make sure that any small

repairs you have on your to do list get done. Buyers just feel better buying a home that has been well maintained and cared for, and they will feel more inclined to make an offer.

Add Smart Home Features Having a few smart home features is more important than ever, as technology is more widespread than ever. Installing a smart thermostat, keyless entry or even a few security cameras can make your home feel modern without breaking the bank.

Make the Entryway The entryway is the first impression of the home. The new doormat, or a fancy coat rack, or even some art on the walls, will add a lovely welcoming touch. Even small touches like a little bench or just a mirror can make a space warm and inviting and give buyers a great first impression of the property.
