TESTIMONIALS

Velma and Brad Jaramillo

I can't thank Kari Ostby at Coldwell Banker enough! As first-time home buyers, my family and I needed alot of guidance in the process, and Kari was there for us every step of the way. Her patience and knowledge made everything so much easier and way less overwhelming. Kari recommended an awesome lender, Jen Heieck, and together they were the dream team we didn’t know we needed. We ran into some hiccups with our loan because of past tax issues and the complications of my husband being self-employed, but I honestly don’t think any other team could have worked through those challenges like they did. Kari kept us calm when things felt scary. She negotiated an amazing deal for us—not just on the home price well below asking, but also a credit to cover our closing costs, and she made sure the sellers agreed to all of our repair requests at inspection time. I’ll definitely be sending my friends and family to Kari and Jen for all their real estate needs. They truly made our dream home a reality, and we couldn't have asked for better support. Thank you, Kari, for everything!

It is my distinct pleasure to write a review on behalf of Kari Ostby. Kari is quite literally the cream of the crop when it comes to real estate agents! Kari is a fantastic businesswoman and fierce advocate for her clients; she consistently goes above and beyond to find dynamic solutions, even in the most difficult of situations. Kari works tirelessly to meet and understand her clients’ needs and magically works to find balance when families have conflicting desires for their current and future living situations. Despite listing our home in one of the slowest times of the recent Colorado real estate market, Kari’s positive attitude kept our family feeling optimistic and focused on our financial and property-ownership goals. I could not ask for a better professional (or, more personally, friend) to represent our family during the overwhelming stress of selling our home and beginning a new journey. If you are on the fence about who to choose as your real estate agent, take this as your sign to look no further than Kari Ostby!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Kari! She was professional, interested in us and our property, and explained things well. She answered all of our questions and reassured us when needed. She staged our home so that it looked nice even though we had moved out. She was able to use her personal staging items so it didn't cost us anything extra! She presented us with lots of comparable properties and helped us price ours at a level that sold quickly and met our financial needs. We are very pleased that we chose to work with Kari and will definitely recommend her to our friends and family! Sandra and Barry

We are incredibly grateful for Kari's professionalism and support throughout the process of selling my mother's house after her passing. She combined her expert real estate advice with sensitivity to help us during a difficult time. From the first meeting to the final closing, Kari was always available, answered all our questions, and made the entire process as smooth as possible. Thanks to her dedication, we were able to close on a sale in less than a month. We couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor, and we highly recommend Kari to anyone looking for a seamless real estate experience.

Kari was my Real Estate agent who sold my house that I lived in for over 30 years. Since she is a Denver native, she is familiar with all of the Denver neighborhoods. She always answered all of my calls promptly when I had questions. She always came to my house with all the paper work printed out to help me understand what I was signing not just sending it on the internet for me to figure out by myself. I am a Senior and was moving to a Senior residence. I was so overwhelmed. She came with me there and asked all the questions I needed to know the answers to. She held my hand many times when I needed assurance that I was making the right decisions. I appreciate her knowledge about everything, including how to get my utilities turned off. She even introduced me to Lori who is a professional organizer. Lori was great and helped me go through my many belongings and decide what to keep, sell and donate. She organized movers to pack me up and unpack at my new apartment so it was all set up when I arrived. I highly recommend Kari and her network of helpers, especially to Seniors!

The house got to be too much! Between plumbing problems, a cracked patio and a 30 year old sprinkler system (among other things) it was time to sell! Kari was referred to me by a friend at a senior facility and she is a gift from god! Kari stepped in and was a measured, calm influence at a time when some of us seniors go a little cuckoo. She did her homework and priced the property to trigger a prompt, smooth, problem-free sale. I will continue to recommend her services. Thank you Kari!

Jim Zuber

I was referred to Kari Ostby by a family friend. She sat down with me and discussed my options of the sale of my house. She explained things to me in a way that helped me understand the complete process. Once we came to an agreement on price and a marketing plan, she took control and ran with it. She took care of every facet of the sale. I felt so comfortable with her abilities I went to Mexico during the showings and when the bids came in, she again explained all my options. She gave me her opinion of which offer would be the best and why. If I should ever need the services of a realtor, I will not look anywhere other than in my phone to dial her phone number.

Kevin and Anna Duncan

Kari did a great job in helping us with an estate sale of a house in Denver. She took care of all the details efficiently & professionally. She was a joy to work with. Kari helped us find service people we needed to help get the house ready, as we live out of town. Helped us get all the documents we needed filled out, most which could be handled electronically. She worked with our probate attorney to make sure documents met attorney's approval. She was very easy to contact & returned our messages quickly. House was sold quickly & at a great price. We felt she went above & beyond what we expected. We would highly recommend her to others.

Amanda Blevins

Kari was such a pleasure to work with. She was so attentive and patient with us throughout our long home search journey. When we finally found the perfect place (which she found off-market, so no one knew about it yet!!!!), she submitted our offer quickly and it was accepted! Then she walked us through each step and communicated every detail along the way. She made sure that we got our house and understood the process not to jeopardize our deal in this extremely competitive landscape. I can honestly say that without Kari's representation, we wouldn't be in our home and who knows if we would have ever landed and closed with another agent.

Joseph Perez

I just closed on my house with Kari and had the best experience! Kari accommodated my busy schedule, informed me in detail everything that needed to be signed, kept in contact with the loan officer through the entire process to make sure everything was covered, and did everything possible to ensure all matters were complete and I understood. I cannot thank her enough and highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy in Denver! Thank you so much!

Bree Shawcroft

Kari was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She guided my boyfriend and I through the complex process of selling our condo and buying a new home and we couldn't have done it without her. She kept us well informed on time lines, answered all of our questions/concerns, and made the process of buying a home as fun as it should be. We will absolutely be working with Kari when we search for our next home!

Joe Krueger

Kari was fantastic! She listened to what we wanted, was prompt about finding new properties, made appointments right away, and really went out of her way to find what we wanted. Once we found the home we were seeking, she worked hard to communicate with all parties to make the offer and consequential closing seamless. I would highly recommend her! Thanks, Kari,for all your hard work!

Haylee Jaquez

For being a first time home buyer, walking into this experience was initially very scary for not knowing where to begin. Kari was amazing reassuring me that she would take care of me and really help me throughout the process. Our first meeting was more than I could have imagined! She gave me so much helpful guides full of information that made me feel more confident. As time went on, and my offers were passed up, I began to get discouraged that I would never get an offer accepted. If it wasn’t for her resilience to finding the perfect home for me, and some pep talking to help keep me searching, I wouldn’t have found the perfect home for me and my son. She was amazing with her professionalism and personal care! I am truly blessed for all her help from begging to end.

Danielle Edwards

Kari made my home buying experience extremely stress free! She was extremely patient, and ensured me we would find the perfect home, even with the demanding Denver market. I would recommend her to everyone looking to purchase a home! Thanks, Kari!!

Melissa Deveraux

Kari was amazing to work with, she spent a full few days with our family to find just the right house. We have some very specific needs and she made it happen. She was such a pleasure and delight to work with.

Jen Heieck

Kari is a breath of fresh air in the real estate industry! Her positive attitude exudes as she works to get the absolute best deal for her clients. Her knowledge of the Denver Metro area is unbeatable. Coming for the lender perspective, I appreciate Kari's partnership through the process - with lenders, with other Realtors, and especially with her clients. I highly recommend Kari!

Janice Kathleen

Kari has done a fabulous job in listing and selling two rental properties for me. One I owned, and one I owned with a business partner. Her knowledge and expertise helped make the process of selling these homes painless. There were a few bumps in the road, but she handled them with the poise of a professional. Both transactions produced very favorable outcomes for both sellers and buyers, and after all isn’t that what a great real estate agent does? I will always recommend Kari to others and would use nobody else for future real estate investments!

Peggy Vickey

Kari explained the whole process to me and helped me make the best decisions in both selling my condo and buying my home. I WILL be recommending her to my friends and family. I will also be requesting her help when I search for my next home. Everything was exceptional!
