Jennifer Egbert - Modern Luxury Real Estate

Building and remodeling in Boulder can be tricky, how can a real estate agent be helpful?
I am IN the Modern Luxury Real Estate business, everyday. I know the ins and outs of challenges that come up when deciding to build, who to speak to; builders, inspectors, people at the City of Boulder, engineers etc.
When do you like to get an architect involved in evaluating a site?
I personally like the relationship to be established pretty early on. I find that when our clients can sit down with their architect early, they learn so much more about any potential property that they’re going to design. The architects will see things that the layperson would not.
What do home owners need to know about properties in Boulder and Boulder County?
We have so many restrictions. Residents already know that, for the most part. Folks who are relocating need to know that, as well. Also, check the new conveyance maps for flood zones.
What is the average ratio between listing price and selling price?
Right now? 98%-110%. Its hyper-competitive out there.
How long have you been selling real estate in Boulder?
Since 2002
Can you tell me about your last three deals?
One family who is building an awesome modern-luxury home in the new Trailhead development at 4th and Mapleton. Their criteria was to build a home that would stand the test of time, visually and architecturally.
One family who is building an award winning modern-luxury home. They’re pulling out all the stops and going so far as to incorporate Aqua Culture in the home for their permaculture needs.
I am doing design consultation on a spec home that our client is building called, ‘The Passivhaus‘. It will be on thirteen acres very close to town (2 minutes from Lee Hill and Broadway) but far enough out that you’ll think you’re in the middle of nowhere. Uber modern, allergy-free, 6100 sqft. It will be something for Boulder to be excited about.

What’s your batting average?
In real estate? Here’s what I find; When I take the time to vet potential clients, we have a wonderful experience. I have had the great fortune of working with people over and over again. I don’t know if the general public knows how fulfilling it is to have repeat clients and to receive referrals from them. Its why I walk out the front door, every day.
How do you get paid?
This is a great question! I work 100% on commission. In Colorado, the Seller pays a agreed upon commission, to me. From that commission, I pay the Buyer’s Agent a marketed percentage of that total amount. So say 8 oranges becomes 4. From the extra 4 oranges that I have left over, I pay my brokerage (say 2 oranges). Then I pay taxes and then I pay my staff and then myself. I never get paid until the entire deal is complete and everyone has signed their paperwork. Sounds fun, huh?
Can you let us in on any secrets?
Smile. Play. Life is short, love deeply.

When we bought our home in Louisville in December 2020, we knew that we had a big project in front of us. We had a few key goals: to get the... absolute most out of the relatively limited space (1800 sq ft), yet also make it feel open and versatile. We wanted something that was modern, had clean, crisp lines and also felt warm and welcoming. We kept saying "scadanavian farmhouse". The result was something we love. HMH delivered on our vision and more. One of the things that we enjoyed most about working with HMH was the way they clearly stayed within the lines of our goals while simultaneously encouraging us to consider design elements that we would not have envisioned ourselves but that we ultimately totally love. For example, HMH designed a new metal staircase that was green - a real centerpiece for our home. Both the design and the color felt risky. But we trusted their direction and it is one of our favorite parts of our home. It is unique and beautiful and something different to what you typically see. We are so appreciative to HMH and the team for their willingness to create something spectacular, but also make beautiful design accessible to a young family. THANK YOU!read more

If I only had one word to describe the HMH team it would be AWESOME.We have dreamed of building a mountain home for years. HMH helped us bring that... dream to life. It is not too strong to say that we felt like they literally cared as much as they would if they were building it for themselves! Their passion, fierce talent and kindness made the process a joy and resulted in a home we adore.Thank you so much, HMH.read more

HMH designed a beautiful house for us, we could not be more pleased with the results. All the spaces in the house are well dimensioned and well... utilized, and the house has a great feel. The whole design process was easy, timely and smooth. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!read more

Great architecture begins with creative talent, great relationships, and a clear focus.After searching 3 years for an architectural firm that... balanced strong aesthetics, good operational processes, & a hip/upbeat atmosphere, we were fortunate to find HMH and Harvey.Our very first custom home was worked on at a distance. Harvey was always available thru emails, phone calls, site visits, and the HOUZZ app. He kept us on track with our artistic vision, value engineering, and practical solutions. His delightful sense of humor made the learning curve painless.We only wish there were more houses to build, they would certainly be with HMH and Harvey!The Olson's.read more
