Combining new technology with Rocky Mountain radiance
Greenwood Village, about 15 miles south of Denver, thrums with energy, from its beautiful outdoor parks to its expanding technological sector. With just over 15,000 residents, the village is powered by the Denver Tech Center, a commercial hub home to startups and Fortune 500 companies. "It's a highly sought-after community because it blends suburban tranquility with access to Denver's vibrant urban amenities," says Lisa Snyder, a Colorado resident and realtor at Compass. In addition, Greenwood Village also has parks for nearly every outdoor activity, acclaimed schools and local events and festivals throughout the year.

Rising property values for the village's plentiful midcentury modern homes
The city has a mix of midcentury modern and ranch-style properties, as well as condos. The median price for a single-family home is $1.8 million, and it takes roughly 46 days to sell, which is about the same as the national average. Greenwood Village’s neighborhoods are distinguished by their different features, and their home prices vary accordingly.

"Greenwood Village has seen a steady rise in property values because of its desirable location, excellent amenities and overall quality of life," Snyder says. She adds that the village offers opportunities to live a more rural lifestyle, with some residents opting to build homesteads and raise horses. "Even with such an option, Downtown Colorado Springs and the Rocky Mountains are still within reach," she says.

Growing up in the Denver Metropolitan area, I attended both Kent Denver and the University of Colorado. For more than 11 years, I have been a sales professional and am now the proud residential and commercial Real Estate Broker of eXp Realty. Previously, I was with Birch Street Development, LLC for five years where I handled planning, construction, supply warranty systems, selling, and management duties. Initially joining as a Project Manager, I eventually transitioned into sales and warranty before closing out projects worth over ten million dollars in custom homes.
I was fortunate enough to be promoted to the Custom Home Sales Manager role at Birch Street Realty, LLC, which enabled me to work with over twenty clients in custom home building. To better serve their needs and expand the company, I attained my real estate license. In 2008, I departed from Birch Street Development and Birch Street Realty to pursue different career prospects as an independent contractor with Coldwell Banker and later Keller Williams wherein the Corriere Group, LLC was created. I have been fortunate to have been exposed to a diverse and intensive experience in the real estate business. I think I bring a lot more to the table than a prototypical real estate agent, based on my knowledge base. I understand the building process and real estate market on a variety of levels and have a true passion for helping people achieve their personal and business needs.
