After the company reorganized, Marti decided it was time to make a career shift and she earned her license in 2013.

Marti did 25 transactions her first year and loves guiding her clients to find their best-fit house. Marti is an independent agent but is on a team with other independent agents such as Katy Ely and Catherine Adkins.

In 2014, Jerome Hanson with Hanson Realty returned to the States from Germany and was stationed in Arizona. When he and his family decided to purchase a home, Jerome quickly realized what a good investment it was. He was still in the military, but turned himself into a real estate investor almost immediately with no plans to ever become an agent. He developed a good sized portfolio of investment properties, which helped him learn the ins and outs of purchasing, selling, and renting. His final duty station was at Ft Carson and Jerome and his family moved to Colorado Springs during a great market. When Jerome retired from the military, he got his license and launched his real estate career in November 2021, then started Hanson Realty 2 years later.

Jerome’s transition to real estate was made easier by his prior experience with investing; he understood the process and the contracts and already had a good idea about how to find leads. The biggest challenge he faced was learning how to better understand his clients to help them through the emotional ups and downs they experience through the process. Jerome elaborated, “I’m still learning how to navigate the emotional aspect of two people trying to get the best deal and not always remembering there is another human on the other side. I work to create a win-win and help my clients see when they are getting a good deal.”

A Colorado native, David grew up in Grand Lake. His family has a lot of history in Colorado - the trail to the peak of Mt. Evans (now Mt. Blue Sky) was built by his grandfather and two of his uncles. David loves the outdoors and spends free time hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping. About five years ago, he turned his passion for the mountains into a business and offered small group, multi-day tours through Colorado’s mountains. David formally exited the music business during the COVID lockdowns, but still plays bass in the occasional jazz gig.

What separates Low Cost Mortgage from others is that they “front load” the process. David elaborated, “We don’t let things sit - we get going right away and if there’s a problem we get on the phone immediately. Internally, we’re usually done with a loan within about two weeks, and then we wait for closing to come along. Our goal is for closing to be boring - well, the loan, anyway - so borrowers can be excited about the house. We communicate issues right away and strategize how to overcome any obstacles. We want to eliminate that dreaded ‘no’ as quickly as possible because both the borrower and REALTOR® need that. Our motto is: ‘We are good, we are fast, and we choose to be cheap.’ We make less on each loan than most other lenders so we can offer lower rates and get people a better deal. We also do more deals that way.”

Amanda Miller Luciano was a newspaper reporter in the mountain West for a decade before covering residential and commercial real estate for the Colorado Springs Business Journal just when the market was beginning to emerge from the 2008 financial crisis. Seeking self employment and a way to actively create community in her hometown, Amanda was licensed in 2014. She worked at local independent brokerages before joining her longtime mentor, Jerry Trent, at Trent Properties Group, where she practices both residential and commercial real estate. Amanda enjoys getting to know people through residential real estate, and loves solving problems through her commercial business.

Charles Beaton’s story begins with a decade of dedicated service in the military, a journey that led him to Colorado Springs from the rolling hills of Georgia. During this transition, fate introduced him to Bill Mills, a seasoned REALTOR® who would become more than just a guide in finding a home; Bill became a mentor who saw potential in Charles that even he hadn’t recognized yet.

It was Bill who nudged Charles toward the idea of real estate as a post-military career. Despite the uncertainties brought on by the COVID pandemic, Charles embraced the challenge with the same conviction that had guided him through his military career. His philosophy was simple yet profound: “Go all in with one thing, and you can’t fail.” This belief carried him through the whirlwind of transitioning out of the Army while simultaneously launching a new career. In a twist of fate, his last day in uniform also marked his first significant milestone in real estate—closing his very first home sale on May 8, 2020. Charles recalls the surreal moment of switching between uniforms that day, attending both a home closing and his Army farewell ceremony.

Julie Robertson’s life has been defined by service—first to her country and now to her community. Entering the Air Force as a teenager, Julie dedicated 20 years to serving as Vehicle Operator then eventually an Independent Duty Medical Technician (IDMT), often being deployed to various challenging environments across all but one continent. When she retired at the age of 38, she faced the difficult realization that there was no civilian equivalent for her military medical career and she wasn’t interested in starting over as a Paramedic.

This marked the beginning of a new chapter in her life, one that would lead her to real estate. Two years before retiring, Julie discovered a profound love for the world of real estate while constructing her own home. The process ignited a passion within her for helping others find their perfect homes and navigate the complex real estate landscape. Recognizing that she wanted to make a meaningful impact beyond just selling properties, Julie sought opportunities that would allow her to provide personalized and dedicated service to each client.

In 2022, Matt Klinker jumped into real estate and now works with Ryan Van Ornum at the Wolfpack Property Group. He loves the freedom and the opportunities his new career provides. The biggest adjustment for Matthew...? 'I had to learn discipline to do the work every day. Real estate is whatever you make of it. It’s up to me to decide if I want to do good.' Matthew’s business comes from his vast social circle, the people he meets when out networking, open houses, and some online leads. While he doesn’t focus on a specific niche, he has helped a lot of first-time home buyers see that it’s not as hard to buy a house as they thought it would be.

When asked what it means to be featured, Matthew said, “It’s cool to be recognized for the hard work, especially being so new in the business. I’ve done really well in my first two years and I appreciate being recognized for that.”
