Bringing our unique backgrounds and experiences together, we share a dedication to hard work, personal connection, and guiding people through some of the most meaningful decisions of their lives with care and a passion for serving others.

 

Jay: Growing up in Arapahoe County, CO, life was full of adventure. I rode mini bikes along the Highline Canal, built forts, caught frogs, and floated in lakes with garden hoses duct-taped to beach balls. Sports were a big part of my world—skiing, baseball, football, wrestling—and that drive to push boundaries never faded.

 

It carried into my career. My grandfather, Julius Buerger, launched a barber supply company in downtown Denver in the late 1800s. The building at 1720 Champa Street became a symbol of quality and integrity, values I carried forward when I started Buerger & Company Real Estate. I chose the stone medallion from his building as our symbol. Early on, I knocked on thousands of doors a month, building relationships and a reputation grounded in service.

 

Real estate let me stay engaged with the community and profession. I’ve served on political action and professional standards committees and helped shape real estate laws. I earned designations like GRI, CRS, C2EX, and CRB—achievements that reflect deep commitment. Being recognized as a REALTOR® Emeritus was a proud milestone.

 

I’ve watched this area grow and change, even serving on committees guiding that development. After 48 years, I still find purpose in matching the right home to the right buyer. That work ethic hasn’t faded, and I don’t plan on slowing down.

 

My love for adventure has stayed strong. I’ve raced motorcycles, open-wheel cars, and hydroplane boats. Taking second in the Formula 2000 class in the Rocky Mountain region was a thrill. I stay involved as a divisional steward within Sports Car Club of America. Scuba diving is another passion, probably rooted in those backyard experiments with garden hoses. These days, time with my wife Bonnie, my daughter Kelly, my son-in-law Tanner, and my grandson Hudson means the most.

 

When I was diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer, I underwent surgery and 35 rounds of radiation. Bonnie stepped up in a big way—getting me through the toughest time of my life while keeping our business going. As partners in life and business, our strengths complement each other and allow us to serve people with real care.

 

Bonnie: In 1988 I moved to Colorado from Greens Fork, Indiana looking for a fresh start. I love this area and raised my two kids here. My daughter is now married, and my son spent ten years in the Navy. I’ve worked hard all my life, from supporting adults with developmental disabilities to working as a dental assistant. I’ve always been service-oriented, and that carries into my work today.

 

Getting into real estate wasn’t something I planned. When Jay and I got married, he encouraged me to get my license so we could work together. I wasn’t sure I had what it took, but I said yes and figured I’d find my way. I’ve had to face fears before, like when I learned to scuba dive. It took about ten dives to trust the gear and feel comfortable underwater. Real estate felt the same—intimidating at first—but I stuck with it and learned by doing.

 

Jay was diagnosed with cancer shortly after I got licensed, and I had to step in and help keep the business moving. It was a crash course I didn’t expect, but I adapted quickly. I door-knocked, followed up, and earned listings. I leaned on Jay for his years of expertise while I discovered my own strengths along the way. 

 

It makes me proud to help people find a home they love. I believe owning a home is the best way for the average person to build wealth over time, and it is an honor to be a part of that process. As a team, Jay and I are able to help more people, offer more comprehensive support, and guide them through life-changing decisions with confidence and care.

 

Our approach to real estate is built on strategy, communication, and relentless dedication to our clients. We don’t just open doors and write contracts—we take the time to understand people’s needs, anticipate challenges, and position them for success. Whether we’re representing a buyer or a seller, our focus is always on securing the best possible outcome. With decades of combined experience and over 2,500 successful transactions, we’re confident we can help.

 

For buyers, that means moving fast. The moment a promising home hits the market, we’re on the phone with the listing agent, gathering intel on the seller’s priorities so we can craft an offer that stands out. We’ve never lost a home for a client in a competitive bidding situation because we know how to make deals happen. For sellers, it’s all about maximizing value. We guide them through every step—from home prep and pricing to marketing strategy—to make sure they get top dollar. Small details like strategic improvements can significantly increase value, and we make sure nothing gets overlooked. Our focus is on building trust, delivering results, and making the process as smooth as possible.

 

Sincerely,
