Meet Arn

Professional Background:

Arn has an educational, cultural, professional, and experiential background that sets him apart from most other real estate professionals. He is known for out-of-the-box thinking, which he applies towards marketing unique properties.

Extensive experience with sellers and buyers of all types allows Arn to also relate and think from a buyer’s perspective, which is very valuable when marketing and presenting your home. Understanding what a buyer will be looking for, and what they will be thinking about, is of the utmost importance.

Arn has been passionate about Boulder and Colorado since coming to the University of Colorado to study Mechanical Engineering and Business. He knows the Boulder area inside and out, and has a broad knowledge base related to the Boulder area.

Arn’s focus, throughout the entire real estate transaction, is toward his clients. Staying focused on his fiduciary responsibility to his clients is top of mind, while helping them understand each step of the transaction, and keeping them informed. Over the years, and through a large variety of different transactions, Arn has developed a honed negotiation style that makes him an asset in every transaction he is involved with.

“I have true passion for real estate transactions and helping my clients. From condos and townhomes, to mountain properties, ranch properties, luxury homes, and developable land, I have the professional background and knowledge to represent you, manage a smooth transaction, and maximize your returns. It’s also important to highlight that LIV Sotheby’s International Realty is the best real estate brokerage in the state, and our professional staff is here to support the process of selling your home.”

Prior to becoming a real estate professional and a top-producing broker in Boulder, for eighteen years Arn served as president and general manager of ReNové Construction, Inc., a commercial and luxury custom home construction company in Boulder. Arn has designed, engineered, and built some of the most recognized homes in Boulder. This background gives him a unique perspective, and it allows him to help you prepare your property before listing and marketing it to prospective buyers. Arn has also performed significant restoration and rejuvenation projects in the Mapleton Historic District and on Landmarked homes in Boulder. Having experience and an understanding of the construction and development rules and regulations in Boulder is very valuable when addressing questions from buyers and their brokers. Arn has the background and knowledge to properly represent your property.

Meet Arn

PROFESSIONAL ADVISOR

EXCEPTIONAL TEAM

GLOBAL NETWORK

.

Real estate is a relationship business, and I believe exceptional representation should always feel personal.

When you hire me, you work directly with me. I remain personally involved throughout the process—from our first conversation through closing—while an experienced team supports the many details behind the scenes.

That team includes my licensed assistant, transaction coordinator, marketing and social-media professionals, the award-winning resources of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, and the global reach of the Sotheby’s International Realty network.

The result is highly personal representation backed by exceptional resources.

.

A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE

My path to real estate began long before I became a broker.

I came to Boulder to study Mechanical Engineering and Business at the University of Colorado and later spent eighteen years as president and general manager of ReNové Construction, a Boulder commercial and luxury custom-home construction company.

I have designed, engineered, built and renovated homes throughout the area and have extensive experience navigating the City and County of Boulder, including the complexities of historic and landmarked properties.

That background gives me a perspective that extends well beyond comparable sales and market statistics. I understand how homes are built, what makes them distinctive, where value can be created, and how sophisticated buyers are likely to perceive them.

For sellers, that experience is especially valuable when deciding how best to prepare a property for market—what is worth improving, what is not, and how to position the home to maximize its appeal and value.

.

DEEP BOULDER EXPERIENCE

I have spent decades living and working in Boulder, founding and building businesses, developing and/or renovating properties, and cultivating longstanding relationships with architects, contractors, engineers, inspectors, lenders, appraisers, title professionals and other trusted experts throughout the community.

Boulder County real estate is unusually nuanced. Architecture, construction quality, location, land, views, history, energy efficiency, solar shading, development regulations and future potential can make two seemingly similar properties dramatically different.

Understanding those differences—and communicating them effectively to the market—is one of the most important parts of my work.

.

..

PERSONAL REPRESENTATION. EXCEPTIONAL RESOURCES.

I intentionally structure my business so my clients never have to choose between personal attention and sophisticated support.

You get me as your advisor, strategist and primary point of contact, with an experienced team and a global organization behind me.

For sellers, that means thoughtful preparation, strategic positioning, exceptional presentation and exposure to qualified buyers locally, nationally and internationally.

Throughout the process, I remain personally responsible for your representation.

.

EXPERIENCE WHERE IT MATTERS

Successful real estate transactions require far more than putting a home on the market. Pricing, preparation, positioning, marketing, inspections, contracts, appraisals and negotiations all influence the outcome.

One of my greatest strengths is identifying the likely buyer for a property and developing a strategy designed to reach and engage that audience.

My background in engineering, construction, design and real estate also helps me identify and anticipate issues, evaluate options and solve problems before they become obstacles. Having represented both buyers and sellers, I understand how each side approaches value and negotiation—and I use that perspective to my clients’ advantage.

My work has been recognized by RealTrends among America’s top real estate professionals, by 5280 with multiple Black Diamond awards, by LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, and through AIA awards for design and construction.

Those honors are meaningful, but I measure success more simply:

Did I give my client sound advice? Protect their interests? Communicate clearly? Anticipate problems? Negotiate effectively? And help them make decisions they feel confident about afterward?

That is the standard I bring to every client and every transaction.
