HYPHEN REAL ESTATE GROUP

PROOF

It’s humorous to imagine Hyphen Real Estate Group owners Tyler Martini and Ryan Scott talking luxury transactions back on the preschool playground. While these two Boulder kids couldn’t have known they’d grow up and own a brokerage together, they sure did have some fun from pre-K to high school. Martini went on to Leeds School of Business at CU and Scott studied marketing and skied (All-American) at Montana State.

Boulder’s luxury housing market was steadily getting hotter as the guys graduated and pursued other ventures. Tyler ran a food truck. Ryan raced on the slopes in Vail. But the food truck turned into way too many hours for not enough money and the skiing didn’t pan out. Tyler pivoted to real estate, got his license and dabbled with a few transactions for friends and family. Ryan started working as a consultant and project manager in the fiber world. And that’s the point at which their divergent paths crossed again.

“I realized that real estate was a pretty good gig, and I liked getting to be with people and not be stuck behind a desk all day,” Martini recalls. “I hung my license with a company for two years and as quickly as I could got my managing broker license and in 2014 started Hyphen. So I was full-time into real estate and learning a lot about running a business, which made more sense as I got older.”

You’d be forgiven for pointing out that Tyler isn’t, well, old. Hyphen’s team of five skews young, and, while that’s not intentional, it’s a fact that this energetic team is nimble and reacts with skill and speed to every bump in the road to the closing table. Hyphen has high expectations of its team as they work to become their clients’ lifelong real estate advisors. Hyphen’s agents leverage a strong background in marketing media, and, with more than $100M+ in sales, expertly advise buyers, sellers and investors in Colorado.

As Hyphen hit the ground running, Tyler and Ryan were also collaborating in a business offering high-end media services including drone photography and videography to real estate brokerages around the world. While it was great to be part of some mighty transactions, a light was about to turn on. “This

media thing’s cool so let’s use it to land some high-end listings ourselves,” Tyler proposed to Ryan. Easy sell. Now Hyphen offers this product under its own umbrella as a value add.

The chemistry the pair had enjoyed growing up was apparent soon after they started working together. They balance well and pitch each other ideas with respect. Both having been raised in Boulder is a natural

advantage. “We know the area and the neighbor-hoods, local schools and outdoorsy opportuni-ties,” Tyler says.

“I think we’re able to relate to people better,” Ryan adds. “People enjoy making that connec-tion. We know Boulder better than someone who moved here later in life. Inside and out, we know how it’s grown as a whole.”

Hyphen is open to growth and expects to bring on a few more brokers over the next couple of years when there’s a great fit. If that raises an interested eyebrow, Scott wants you to know this, “We’re a dynamic team focused on creating a product for clients and brokers that is top-notch. We’re adaptable, we move quickly, we’re well estab-lished in the luxury market, and our confidence and standards are high.”

At Hyphen’s core is a passion for supporting student athletes, which sets the firm apart. As the only real estate partner of CU Athletics, they have worked hard to creatively and mean-ingfully support students. First and foremost, for Buff fans and supporters who enlist Hyphen’s assistance in the pur-chase or sale of real estate, Hyphen will donate 20 percent of the resulting commission to the Buffs4Life NIL nonprofit Collective (just mention the Buff-Hyphen partnership when you contact Hyphen) to be directed toward a specific team or individual to their benefit.

The partnership with CU has been fun! Together they offered $50,000 for a successful football throw at halftime (the fan didn’t win but it was the largest such prize offered in CU history). They’ve conducted the beloved golf putt at basketball games, even offering a two-night stay at the Ashley Home as a prize.

“We want to give back and make our relationship as a business in Boulder symbiotic with CU,” Ryan says. “We put our money where our mouths are as we support the university’s ecosystem.”
