Leigh Gauger

"I just went through three transactions with Leigh. I was selling two rental condominiums in order to buy something in California. We discussed timing and process and Leigh was very helpful in helping me prepare the first condo for sale. I needed to do a few cosmetic touches in order to get top dollar (which we did) on the first. The second was a bit more tricky as it was not in a nearly as desirable complex as the first, and it was going to need to be a 1031 exchange. As that unit went under contract, I was rejected on my offer in California and then decided to invest in just one unit locally as the other places in California didn't check all my boxes. So in this market, in order to get something good, Leigh and I started searching here as the time frame on the 1031 is very limited. We found a good one and the seller was expecting multiple offers but Leigh was able to get my offer under contract over the others. There were a few glitches that needed to be overcome and of course, I was panicking slightly, but Leigh was very professional and always explained all my options clearly. You definitely need a conscientious professional in any market, but in the current Denver market you need someone like Leigh. She is my third realtor in Denver and by far the best of the three. I almost wish I had another place to sell! You cannot go wrong with Leigh and therefore I highly recommend her."

“Approximately May, 2014, my spouse and I were considering selling one of our rental properties and decided to interview a number of realtors to ascertain the best professional which would best fit our needs, desires, and personalities. As with most professionals dealing with the public, they were exuberant, kind and professional during our meeting. Both my spouse and I were up front with the fact we were looking for someone who would journey with us on a path to sell our property. The catch was we still had a tenant living in our property and we were not going to evict the party to sell our rental property.

All interviewed realtors disappeared when they found out we would not evict our tenant, the exception was Leigh Gauger. Leigh stayed in touch with us while the other realtors had other fish to catch. The mark of a true professional is one who is willing to go the “extra mile” to develop their clientele for the purposes of working (serving) for them. Leigh Gauger is an accomplished realtor. She is kind, a very good listener, anticipates our every need and responds very quickly to any question or situation. Leigh was very patient with a couple who had some entrenched emotions about letting go of a property that had been a part of our lives for close to 40 years. Leigh is a stellar professional by keeping us informed through every step of our journey, and on the day of closing, was present continuing her professionalism.

Should my spouse and I ever need another realtor, my first call will be to Leigh Gauger. We wanted a good experience selling our property and obtained a “superb experience”. We highly recommend Leigh Gauger for your journey.”

“Leigh helped me purchase my first home. When it came time to decide which house to buy, I was finicky to say the least…someone who doesn’t purchase anything retail without first reading Consumer Reports and doing extensive research. So when it came time to buying a home, I wanted to feel secure in knowing that the home I was purchasing was well constructed and that the price was reasonable. Leigh’s extensive background in construction and real estate was reassuring. She was able to effectively communicate both the positives and negatives of the homes I was considering and what price I should expect to pay. Leigh put my mind at ease that the home I eventually ended up purchasing was exactly the right home for me. Not only was Leigh knowledgeable about the Denver market, but home hunting with Leigh was a blast! Over the 3 months we were searching, not a single day passed when we didn’t laugh.”

"Leigh sold my house for me and I am so grateful to have had her as my agent. When I decided to sell my house, I was anxious about the task before me. From our first meeting and throughout the process, Leigh put me at ease. She was patient with all of my questions, had great ideas for getting the house ready and kept me fully informed throughout the process. She is extremely knowledgeable about real estate and her expertise and professionalism were impressive. Above all, her negotiation skills were the tops! She got me a higher price than I ever imagined possible for my house. Leigh made selling my house a pleasant and profitable experience! I will happily recommend Leigh to everyone I know looking for an outstanding agent!"

“Leigh Gauger is a miracle worker! Less than 5 weeks after our first exploratory call to Nostalgic Homes, we signed contracts to sell our former house and buy our new one. Ours was not a typical situation, and Leigh found a way to help us get everything we wanted. She was patient, creative, persistent, and attentive. We were very lucky to have found her.”

“Leigh Gauger was our realtor and she was nothing short of amazing. Now that the dust has settled and boxes have all been emptied, I wanted to express my gratitude for all of Leigh’s hard work as our realtor. Leigh helped us sell our bungalow in Park Hill and find a larger family home in Baker. She very efficiently sold our home for top dollar. We interviewed three realtors and Leigh recommended listing our home for $45,000 more than the other realtors. Naturally we wanted to make the most money, but we were nervous about such a large difference in price. Ultimately we chose Leigh because of her confidence and friendly disposition. We felt like she genuinely cared about selling our home and finding us a new place. We definitely made the right choice; our house was under contract within one day for full list price! If we would have listed with the other realtors, I am sure our home would have sold fast, but we would have lost out on a lot of profits. Thanks for maximizing our investment Leigh! I was also impressed by the photography of our home, it looked so good in the pictures it almost made me question moving. Almost. Leigh also did an excellent job helping us navigate the low inventory Denver market. I was very impressed at how well Leigh knew the current housing market. Other realtors we had met with didn’t seem to be keeping pace with ever changing dynamics of the city. It was very apparent that Leigh had an astute knowledge of Denver’s neighborhood and helped us find a new location where our money went further. Ultimately, I am most appreciative of Leigh’s commitment and responsiveness. With so few houses on the market timing is everything. Leigh opened up her schedule and was able to show us homes on just a couple hours notice. To ensure we got our dream home, Leigh was corresponding with me until10:00pm writing up an offer. Needless to say we got the house and Leigh did an excellent job negotiating on our behalf. The next time we move (hopefully not for a while) we will definitely be contacting Leigh!”

Leigh is a one of a kind broker that I would whole heartedly recommend to any developer or seller. Northwest Denver is lucky to have her in the neighborhood. From start to finish, Leigh took my projects to heart offering clear and valuable insights from floor plans to staging to get my projects sold. She diligently worked with all potential buyers, following up for weeks, months, even years to get to the closing table. She has a unique knack for keeping your product in the buyer’s mind without being too pushy. Leigh works to make each sale a win-win between buyer and seller so both can be equally happy. The buyers and buyer brokers of my properties have all complimented Leigh’s professionalism and diligence in making sales happen. She knows her stuff, she knows Northwest Denver and she knows how to close. Leigh is my broker.”

“Leigh is a pure pleasure to work with — happy and fun and she knows real estate. She has lived in Denver a long time and knows the neighborhoods, the hot spots, the well-kept secrets AND the best places to land a deal. We had lost out on a house — it went under contract right after we saw it during the open house. Leigh made such an impression with the selling agent that when the deal fell through, the agent called her to see if we still wanted it before it was ever listed again! This was our first home purchase and she was right by our side throughout the whole process. She was readily available with assistance and answers — I got emails and texts from her well into the evening when it was necessary. It’s like she never stops working for you. If you’re looking for someone who will walk you through buying and selling a home — and do it with a smile, Leigh is your broker. She’s great!”

"Leigh was very professional and followed through with everything she said she was going to do. I had many showings from many different agents. In my case not only did Leigh list my house she ended up finding the buyer as well. I would highly recommend Leigh Gauger."

"Leigh is the best! This is our second time using her. As soon as we told her we were starting to look at houses and wanted her help, she was committed to finding us what we were looking for. Leigh gets to know you and what your needs are, then she finds you the perfect house. She knows all the little neighborhoods of Denver. Leigh gives everything she has to her clients. She makes you feel as if you were her only client. If you are selling a house, you can trust, Leigh will get you everything it’s worth! We absolutely recommend using Leigh to find your dream home or sell your house. She will not only become your realtor but your friend as well. She puts her heart and soul into her job and you can tell she is passionate about helping people get what they want. She’s amazing!"
