Liz Richards
Real Estate Broker
LIV Sotheby's International Realty · Denver, CO
<p>Renowned for her tireless work ethic and undaunted tenacity, Liz Richards has been a top producing Global Real Estate Advisor since 2004. A Chicago native, Liz moved to Boulder in 1997, then to Denver in 2002 and has never looked back. She considers herself a brand ambassador of sorts “for all things” Colorado. Liz’s passion for animals (her dog Elleanor Bigsby is the apple of her eye), the outdoors, art, and music are nourished by the city life of Denver while her favorite activities of skiing, horseback riding, hiking, paddle boarding, and cycling are fulfilled with her treasured “mountain-time” in Summit County. </p> <p>  </p> <p>With over 20 years of experience and a vast network of industry professionals, Liz is often able to bring her Buyers very choice “off market” opportunities. Once Liz identifies her clients’ wants and needs via an in-depth discovery process, the games begin! Paying close attention to her clients’ aesthetic inclinations, floorplan wants, and neighborhood desires, Liz embarks on an aggressive search campaign which encompasses the traditional route of MLS listings, “quiet listings” within the Sotheby’s network, and an aggressive outreach to off-market homes.  </p> <p></p> <p>Liz has an uncanny knack for spotting aesthetic potential, pin-pointing the next "up and coming” neighborhood, and spot-on instincts for seamlessly matching Buyers with the perfect home. Her approach is much like a dating “matchmaker” combined with guerilla warfare/private eye search tactics. </p> <p>  </p> <p>When it comes to listing homes, Liz is a firm believer that the “devil is in the details”. She takes on a full concierge mode in helping Sellers gettheir homes ready for market. Orchestrating and overseeing the “editing of the interior” (a.k.a. decluttering), painting, handyman fixes, and pre-inspections, all with the goal of pitch perfect presentation and avoiding derailment once under contract. Liz engages her vetted trades people and manages the home readying process from start to finish. Liz and her team aim to make the front-end prep work of getting a home to market as stress free and efficient as<br />possible. </p> <p>  </p> <p>Liz thrives on the personal connection she establishes with her clientele, working with Buyers and Sellers as a trusted life-long real estate advisor. She takes on a consultative approach that reaches far beyond the end of a transaction. It is Liz’s single-minded focus, attention to detail, and superior negotiation skills that have earned her a reputation of top-notch professionalism, and superior sales results which put her in the top 1% of the real estate industry.  </p> <p></p> <p> ACCOLADES: </p> <p>• Recognized by REAL TRENDS as one of "America’s Best Real Estate Professionals" for ranking among the Top 1% Nationwide by Transaction Sides & Sales Volume in 2022 & 2021. </p> <p>• Top 1% & Top 40 Rankings Among Denver Metro Residential Real Estate Agents for Sales Production from 2015 to 2022. </p> <p>• #3 Partnership in Sales Volume & Total Transactions for 2022 in Denver. </p> <p>• #2 Partnership by Sales Volume & Total Transactions for 2021 in Denver. </p> <p>• #2 Individual Agent by Project Sales Volume in Denver Metro for 2019. </p> <p>• #3 Individual Agent by Project Transactions in Denver Metro for 2019. </p> <p>• #2 Individual Agent by Sales Volume in Denver Metro for 2018. </p> <p>• #2 Individual Agent Within LIV Sotheby’s International Realty in 2018. </p> <p>• Monthly Top Producer at LIV Sotheby’s International Realty from 2018 to present. </p> <p>• Top 5 Producer at Kentwood Real Estate for 2012-2017. </p> <p>• Over $36 Million Closed in 2023. </p> <p>• Over $45 Million Closed in 2022. </p> <p>• Over $52 Million Closed in 2021. </p> <p>• Over $46 Million Closed in 2020. </p> <p>• Over $40 Million Closed in 2019. </p> <p>• Over $65 Million Closed in 2018. </p> <p>• Over $40 Million Closed in 2017. </p> <p>• Over $48 Million Closed in 2016. </p> <p>• Over 95% of Business has Been Generated from Referrals & Past Clients. </p> <p>  </p> <p>COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: </p> <p>· Active Member of the Denver Art Museum’s Architecture and Design Collectors Council (ADCC) 2018-2024 </p> <p>· Board Member of the Denver Film Society 2017 and 2018. </p> <p>· Board Member for Colorado Youth at Risk from 2009-2012. </p> <p>· Active Member of the Museum Contemporary Art. </p> <p>· Donor to the DPS Foundation.  </p>

Client Reviews
What my clients are saying
“As a first-time homebuyer I had no idea of the intricacies of the home buying process. Liz Richards made the process easy and stress free. She took time to educate me on the market, nuances of neighborhoods, good vs great floorplans and how they translate into value. I ended up with an amazing home in Wash Park that I LOVE. Liz never pushed, was always patient, and was prompt and precise with communication. She helped negotiate a favorable price and inspection and to boot, aided with helping me line up THE BEST vendors for after closing. Invaluable! I highly recommend Liz- she truly cares and hustled to get me the best results.”

“To say I could not have sold my Bonnie Brae home for top dollar without Liz and her team is an understatement. This was no small undertaking. Liz meticulously prepared my home for the market. She recommended new carpet, fresh paint, updated light and plumbing fixtures, window washing, staging, and several pre inspections so we could launch with confidence. She connected me with her trusted vendors, which saved me a significant amount of money, and she personally oversaw the work and repairs while I was living out of the home. The result was multiple offers and a sales price above asking. Her marketing was elegant, strategic, and truly stood apart. Liz is the total package, and I recommend her without hesitation.”

“I was referred to this agent by my boss, who used her to purchase a multimillion-dollar home. Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. It became clear that transactions below a certain price point were not a priority. I felt that lower-budget clients were delegated rather than personally supported, and the communication style came across as dismissive and overly focused on the commission rather than the client relationship. Professionalism, attention to detail, and equal respect for all clients are essential in real estate, and that was not the experience I had. I also overheard unprofessional remarks about another client, which further raised concerns for me. I ultimately chose to work with a different realtor who was respectful, informative, and proactive in providing data about the areas I was considering. Based on my experience, I would not recommend working with her if you’re looking for attentive and client-centered representation.”
