Meet Josh Jackson-Boulder County's Rising Star Nominee for September 2022

JOSH MEET

JACKSON

FAULT. Not a word one normally thinks of as being positive. Yet, with Josh Jackson, it’s a good thing. Jackson, REALTOR® for LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, the renowned realty company that offers high-end properties, understands the law of attraction when it comes to his love of people and elegance and says he is “committed to a fault.” Relentlessly. He is more often than not available and readily responds to his client’s needs. And who wouldn’t be happy to work with someone so devoted to their trade?

Jackson, a family man of four with two sons, 4 and 7, grew up in California in a small town called Burlingame, in between San Francisco and Palo Alto. Jackson’s grandfather was a REALTOR® and a builder, and his father was a contractor, so you might say the real estate business was ably in his blood. unmist ak A lover of skiing, Jackson would come to Colorado to ski and got his first taste of our regal mountains early on. In 2010 he met his wife-to-be, who was from Boulder and soon after began traveling back and forth between Colorado and California.

Working in the advertising and media sales business (including a stint with MTV) brought him wealth to be able to travel frequently. Yet he soon realized that working for someone else was not his first choice, and Jackson is all about making deliberate choices. Tired of traveling hours each day to go to someone else’s office and remembering how much he enjoyed helping his dad build beautiful, upscale homes and living in world-class places, Jackson decided to go into real estate. The fact that he genuinely loves people and authentically believes in that human connection, from one heart to another, inspired him to make the leap, trusting the net would appear. And it did.

He deliberately chose Boulder for the upscale town that it is, wanting that perfect balance of the small, doable town with the arts, higher education and the rather mild climate; in other words, a fun town with so much to do, enjoy and latch onto, that lucky star with the myriad of amazing opportunities. In fact, Boulder was rated as one of the best places to live in 2020 and 2021, and it’s Jackson’s goal to help families navigate their way to participate in this sublime lifestyle. And he loves the variety of people here. Smiling widely, he says he is “proud to be a Boulderite!”

Being in the corporate advertising and sales world, he could see that the decision-makers had no emotional connection to the people they worked with. This didn’t align with him or his futuristic dreams to provide people with meaning, building strong identity and a grounding purpose in life. On that same track, he discovered he was good at reading people, which is especially helpful when the clients are not transparent and have a tough time with decisions and may not ask for help when they sorely could use it.

Reading

clients in the corporate world just didn’t make any sense, and Jackson’s dream was (and still is) to offer a lifestyle that gives people meaning and identity and even a purpose in life. He recognized the conflicting and mismatched paths of what we are expected to pursue and what we desire to pursue. And in gently directing, he succeeds in inspiring and motivating his clients to reach their highest potential in real estate.

In the five years that Jackson has been a practicing REALTOR®, he is grateful to be on his own path of growth and consciousness and to give anyone else a leg up so that they too can appreciate the wonders Boulder has to offer. It’s clear that he is motivated, dedicated and understands the value of self-growth and that it pays—economically, materially and spiritually—to lend a hand to others to reach their shining star.

It’s something that we don’t hear about too often these days—deeply caring about our community and wanting them to excel also. Josh helps his clients excel by knowing the full portfolio our magnificent town has to offer.

Growing up, his father was a great role model in that he didn’t preach; he was an example for Jackson to follow. As a leader, he showed the value of an intense work ethic by committing to self-improvement, to building/ creating beautiful buildings with integrity and honesty by consciously doing the right thing and delivering the goods and making people happy.

Jackson was taught to be genuine and authentic and to live by the golden rule: both his dad and granddad were not only hard workers, but they were also humble and spread gratitude.

On Saturdays, when Jackson and his father went to buy donuts, the journey would take hours because his dad knew and said hello to everyone on the way. Not surprisingly, Jackson strives to emulate his dad’s love of people by experiencing positive interactions. realproducersmag.com

Following his father’s example, Jackson’s favorite activity—by far—is during football season when he and his wife and sons jump on their bikes, ride to Pearl Street, have an early dinner and watch the pep rally. Then they ride home with headlamps on in the darkened sky, silently whooshing through the neighborhood streets.

In giving back to the community, Jackson practices assistant coaching for the Niwot Little League Baseball.

Currently, Jackson is passionate about working on a specific property that he’s been focusing on for the last year: a large ranch just outside Boulder that was homesteaded in 1876. It’s been a cattle ranch for six generations and is some of the most magnificent land. He’s been marketing through video, telling stories of the land’s rugged beauty. Jackson’s uber excited about the location and opportunity, pushing the limits of a small town REALTOR® to tell a magnificent story, bringing it to the marketplace. This is the niche Jackson wants to pursue: to tell these stories of the earth and the families who live there. In sharing this golden opportunity, his ideal clients are those who see the value in luxury and beauty and want to hire someone who is committed to expertise and knowledge and deep care to manifest the profoundness of life.

When asked what question he would like to answer that was not asked, Jackson responded: “Why is Boulder real estate so pricey?” His answer to that? “There is no other place like it, and the available land is simply priceless.” Boulder is most definitely a safe haven and strategically located with one of the largest airports in the world, where human connection and emotional intelligence together in one breathtaking county.

Reading

Josh Jackson is the best real estate agent I have worked with over the years. Josh is very knowledgeable regarding the market, which was not only helpful, but his knowledge took the pressure off me as a seller. He communicates very well and is a good listener. Josh showed more patience with my situation than I could have ever asked for or expected from him. The sale was seamless as well as the closing and I attribute that to Josh making sure behind the scenes that the sale of my property successfully closed without any setbacks or drama. I trust Josh’s advice for all these reasons, and one more that sets him apart from the sea of real estate agents, and that reason is Josh really cares about his clients. That isn’t a quality that can be taught in university, it comes from within. It is who Josh is inside and it showed in everything he did for me. I very highly recommend Josh Jackson. You will be in good hands if you choose Josh to be your real estate agent because you are getting so much more. -Janice Josh made selling my rental property easy and went way above the call of duty. Although I lived 4 hours away, I wanted to paint, re-carpet, landscape, etc. Josh provided great advice, scheduled contractors, and drove back and forth to my property to oversee the projects while I was out of town. He was very involved and very responsive during the whole process. He helped make my house look great and the home sold for more than I expected. -Mark Josh was wonderful to work with. He brings a great balance of high professionalism and heart and personal touch to his work. For me, both aspects were critically important to ensure that I knew I could expect from Josh nothing but the best in terms of his responsiveness, expertise, and true dedication to his clients. Also, the "heart and personal touch" go an even longer way to developing a trusting relationship which is critical when you are making such a large investment. I truly appreciated working with Josh. I have very high standards for what I look for in the people I work with and Josh delivered on every aspect of it. In the future, when I'm ready to sell, buy or rent, I will certainly reconnect with Josh so he can help me through the process. -Tatiane It was a pure blessing to get referred to Josh. He understood my vision for my first home purchase, short term aspirations and long-term goals with real estate.

He internalized exactly what I wanted and was available promptly to view homes that came on the market and fit within my parameters. He was professional and truly cared about how I was doing during the process. He wasn't just my realtor, he was a true support for me during this high-stress, emotional and expensive rollercoaster. He held a competitive edge about him, and it was fantastic. I am so thankful for Josh and will utilize his services in the future to continue the real estate investing journey. –Bianca My husband and I have relocated several times for our careers. When we began looking for a home in the Boulder area, it was important to us to work with an individual who was self-motivated, knew about construction and architecture, understood the local market, listened attentively, and helped us clarify our must-have list. Josh Jackson met all our needs and more. We appreciated Josh’s expertise and his patient, warm and empathetic nature. Josh subtly offered pros and cons of each property without being intrusive. And we highly valued Josh’s ability to diffuse a stressful situation with humor. Josh provided us with connections for anything you can think of, from appraisers, home inspectors, mortgage loan officers, to electricians and landscapers. Above all, with Josh Jackson, we felt as if we made a friend who was on our home-hunting team. We would not hesitate to reach out to Josh to work with him again. We recommend Josh Jackson to both novice and seasoned Real Estate buyers alike, not only for the journey but also for the results he delivers. -Mary Josh was a tremendous asset to us in both the sale of our last home and buying a new home, both of which were no small feat in the middle of a pandemic with other logistical hurdles involved in both transactions. We could not have asked for a better partner to help us throughout the process. Josh is deliberate and thoughtful in his recommendations. He is both a skilled communicator and good listener. We also appreciated Josh’s quick responsiveness and constant attention throughout the process. It is rare in any field to find a professional who is obviously attempting to be the best at what they do while remaining down to earth and easy to work with. The personal stress and stakes involved in residential real estate transactions makes finding a real estate agent with those qualities all the more reassuring. Working with Josh does not feel as if we simply hired any realtor, but someone who truly became invested in our needs. I cannot imagine anyone would not be satisfied with the level of expertise and professionalism Josh provides. Those reading this review would be well advised to trust Josh with any of their real estate needs. Thanks Josh for all your help! -Jeff
