BROKER Q&A
DAVID SCHLICHTER, COMPASS DENVER A member of the Board of Directors for the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, David Schlichter runs one of the most successful real estate teams in the region. Give us a brief background on you. How long have you lived in Colorado? How did you get into real estate? I moved to Colorado in 2008 after leading a group of high school kids on a bicycle trip across the country. We passed through Colorado along the way, and I fell in love with it and knew I was going to make it my home. When I first moved to Denver, I served as a third grade teacher in the Denver Public Schools with Teach For America. After that, I did an internship at the White House under President Obama working on business issues, and then returned to Denver and spent a year working for an education reform nonprofit. I earned my real estate license at the beginning of 2012, dove into it full time, and never looked back!

Give us a brief background on you. How long have you lived in Colorado? How did you get into real estate? B r o k e r A s s o c i a t e Having moved a family twice myself, I understand that the packing 720.273.7567 and unpacking can be the most stressful part of a home move. My w w w. M i a N e s s. c o m passion to get into real estate came from my career background in the mia@coloradolandmark.com luxury hotel industry. I realized I am so client focused and hands-on with attention to detail that I would offer a more personalized, boutique, luxury, white-glove service than what we experienced when we moved.
What are some luxury home real estate trends that you expect to see? In the coming months, I’m predicting record-breaking movement across all price points in the market. The trend of downsizing is starting to reverse as people need more space to do their core activities, and the Colorado luxury market is poised to benefit in a big way from these shifts.
What is your favorite part of your job? My favorite part of being a Real Estate Advisor is walking into a home with a buyer and seeing their face and reaction that “This is the one.” The greatest compliment and most rewarding part of my career is repeat clients and my clients’ network referrals. I am so thankful and grateful that they put their trust in me and lean on my market knowledge and strategies to achieve their real estate goals.
What is your favorite spring activity in Colorado? My favorite springtime activity is rock climbing. There are thousands of world-class, established rock climbing routes within an hour of Denver and Boulder, and I love the thrill of taking on challenges and pushing myself to the edge of my physical ability. The mental toughness and problem solving skills of rock climbing translate well into working my way through difficult real estate transactions.
What is your favorite luxury activity in our region? One of my favorite places to visit and where we visited over the holidays was the Westin Avon in Beaver Creek, Colorado. What better place to enjoy the sunshine after a day of skiing than by enjoying their salt water pool and salt water spas? It was great to relax by their cozy fireplace, meeting others that traveled here from around the world while enjoying conversations over spirits and charcuterie while listening to live music.
