Testimonials
There are many things I can say about the high quality of service I provide to my home seller and home buyer clients, but probably none would be as credible as testimonials from some of my recent clients themselves. So please take a moment to read the following testimonials. I hope they indicate my experience and integrity, as well as make it clear how much I enjoy helping people with their real estate needs. I would be happy to email you additional testimonials if you are interested.

“To draft a testimonial for Doug Hutchins…where to even begin? Perhaps the first place to begin is with a challenge; specifically, I would challenge anyone to find a better Realtor than Doug anywhere in the United States. Being in Human Resources, and having been associated with over 300 employee relocations in my career (where I think I have heard just about every Realtor experience imaginable), I can unequivocally state that I have not seen, heard of, or experienced a Realtor better than Doug Hutchins.
From our initial conversation (where Doug spent approximately one hour just learning about me, my family and our needs) to investing significant time in the house-hunting process all the way through closing, Doug was with us every step of the way going above and beyond the call of duty. But it didn’t stop there! Doug is serious when he mentions a relationship for life, as he has continued to provide my family with guidance and support. And his Customer Appreciation Program is just one example of the exemplary level of service that Doug provides.
I think it is also worthwhile to mention that Doug made our specific relocation incredibly stress-free from his end. And as a point of comparison which only magnifies Doug’s professionalism, kindness, knowledge, organization and service, I will say this: had our relocation manager and Realtor back home provided us with even half the service that Doug provided, I would have been ecstatic beyond words.
For me and my family, the standard for Realtors has now been set: Doug Hutchins. He truly has a passion for excellence which will be seen in every thing he says and does. A relationship with Doug with only lead to satisfaction, gratitude, humility and a standard of excellence for the rest of your life.”
Phil and Melissa – Castle Rock
“Thank you so much Doug for the excellent service that you provided in selling my home and assisting me in purchasing a new home. Doug’s hard work paid off when my home went under contract within 8 days from listing and sold at a higher price than expected. His diligence in sending me homes within the exact criteria saved me hours of searching time. The best part is that with his negotiation skills my appraisal came in $20,000 above my purchase price.”

“Doug Hutchins was an excellent realtor for us when buying a home in Castle Pines North Colorado; and when selling the same home due to a job change a few years later. Doug was tireless in showing us many houses before we made our decision; and he worked very hard in a difficult market when we chose to sell. His advice was sound and he has a very professional manner. It is obvious that he enjoys his work and he is excellent at what he does.”
Ed and Deborah – Castle Pines North

“For us, Doug is a phenomenal Realtor. We could not have asked for anything more and I can’t think of a single thing he missed or could have done better for us. We were new to the house-buying process her in the U.S. Doug put us completely at ease with his expertise and fantastic knowledge of the community in which we were seeking to buy our home. He worked to our schedule, was extremely responsive to our needs, questions or concerns and addressed all of the little details that take the stress out of home buying. Doug absolutely looked after our interests at every step of the way, not to mention a clever strategist and negotiator when it came to closing the deal. It’s easy to see why most of Doug’s business comes from referrals and we would not hesitate to work with him again.”
Paul and Montse – Castle Pines North
- “Our experience with Doug Hutchins was superb! Doug is very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Having him lead the way in our house-hunt was a pleasant undertaking during a somewhat stressful time. Doug’s knowledge of the area and his candor were greatly appreciated. Doug understands the buyer and works diligently – especially handling a lot of little details for us that we had not even considered. Doug is pleasant to work with, diligent in his service to his clients and knowledgeable in every aspect of buying a house. One aspect that we admire and respect most is Doug’s sincerity. This created a trust factor critical to the home-buying process. As we enjoy our new home, we have complete peace of mind knowing that we made what for us was the best possible purchase. We are so glad we had Doug working for us and will definitely recommend him to friends and co-workers.”

“Doug was very helpful and patient with me and my house search. I started my search with Doug before I moved to Denver and he helped me learn the neighborhoods both from a property value perspective and driving around the city. Real Estate is all about location, location, location and when I couldn’t decide which specific neighborhood, Doug put me right in between LoDo, Cherry Creek and Washington Park. Doug took the time to understand the type of house I wanted and prioritized them on our search. It is not easy to find a house with all the characteristics that you want when it was built in the early 1900’s but Doug helped me find the one and introduced me to inspectors and mortgage brokers to get it done without a hassle. Thanks again Doug!”

“Our recent home sales experience with Doug Hutchins as our realtor was outstanding. Doug’s pricing advice during a difficult and changing real estate market was spot on. We were very pleased with the high level of his attention during a slow sales period and he constantly showed his commitment to selling our home and keeping us informed of the status. Doug has a very strong team behind him and a great process for keeping buyers interested in your home. He went well beyond what he committed to in order to sell our home. Finally, Doug was instrumental in ensuring once we had an offer on the property that we got through the inspection and closing without any hitches. We would recommend Doug’s services to all of our friends, not only as an expert for the Castle Pines North area, but also because of his tenacity, perseverance and integrity in getting to a successful sale.”
Michael and Diane – Castle Pines North

“We really appreciated Doug’s kind and efficient service in the sale of our property in Denver. At a time when sales were slow in a market flooded with foreclosures, Doug never gave up. Doug’s efforts paid off with a sale in record time considering the circumstances. Thank you!!”
Jonathan & Alice – Denver

“Doug was a pleasure to work with. He knows the entire Denver metro area well, and was very helpful to someone new to the state. He was great with the final walk through and closing. He even sent me paperwork necessary for the IRS. I would recommend Doug to anyone – and I have. He’s very professional – it’s obvious he enjoys what he does.”
Robin – Arvada

“We used two different real estate agents when we bought and then sold our home in Florida. When we bought our new home here in Denver the quality of service Doug provided us was much better than our other two agents combined. Doug was always available and responded to our questions promptly. He was never late and never canceled and appointments with us. He provided us with a higher quality of service than we have experienced in any other service oriented business. If/when we purchase another property we will definitely want Doug to be our agent again. We could not give Doug a higher recommendation.”
Charles & Eylene - Superior

“Our experience with Doug Hutchins during our relocation to Denver was one of the most pleasant experiences for my family and me. We moved here from California and looking back now we realized that Doug made our transition easier than we had expected. He was attentive to our needs and wants during our house hunting. Doug is well experienced and after just one conversation knew exactly what my husband and I were looking for in a home. Doug even left a great impression with the sales office of the homebuilder we purchased our home from. I would highly recommend Doug to family and friends for his great experience, professionalism and attentiveness to his clients needs. I look forward to doing business again with Doug in the future.”
Ruben & Rebecca – Parker

“Doug made our home buying experience enjoyable and stress-free. He made himself available to work around our schedule. And because of this we were able to find the exact home to meet our needs of our family. We’ve already recommended him to friends who are ready to buy! We love our new house!”
Shawn & Amy – Castle Rock

“Doug is one of the most contentious realtors we have worked with throughout many years of buying and selling homes. We had to move to Denver for my husband’s new job and we had only 30 days to sell our house in another state and find a home in Colorado. Doug was highly recommended by my husbands new employer. Doug spent 2 ½ days constantly helping us find a new home. He constantly communicated with us prior to our move to the house we finally bought. He was with us throughout the entire closing. He also provided a useful guide regarding the Denver economy, schools, etc.”
Karen – Thornton
- “My Husband and I moved from Chicago to Denver and Doug was highly recommended to us by two of his former clients. Doug has a wealth of information about the Denver area, the builders, the history and future plans around every residential opportunity. He spent as much time as was needed finding the home we were imagining – listening carefully to which features we liked or disliked about all the properties he showed us. He found the home we described and then walked us through the entire process. We have bought and sold in the past, but I have never known a realtor to be present during the entire home inspection. He even sent us the minutes of the HOA meetings. Doug was always our advocate and I felt we had “a friend in the business” we love our home. My sister and our best friends are seriously considering moving to Denver, and because of our experience with Doug, he will be their realtor.”
Janice – Littleton

“Doug was the most helpful and attentive before, during and after my real estate purchase. He was prompt in answering all my calls and guided me through the complicated process step-by-step. He still stays in tough and is helpful when I have a question, even though he is not directly involved with a transaction.”
Max – Denver
-
“As a person inexperienced in the real estate market and all the elements involved, I was a little anxious about the process. Doug provided me information and assistance in every aspect inherent in the logistics of home ownership. His knowledge of real estate business and associated transaction was meticulous. I highly recommend Doug as a real estate agent and will refer him to family, friends and acquaintances looking for a property to buy.”
Charliss – Broomfield

“Doug was recommended to me by a friend, and it was good advice. Doug is easily the best Realtor I have ever dealt with. He worked very hard to help me find and purchase a house. My home search was a lengthy one, and Doug was very patient and helpful through it all. He provided me with very thorough information and good advice at every step of the home buying process. I heavily recommend Doug to anyone who is buying for selling a house.”
Joe – Littleton
- “Prior to buying our home, we had become very leery of Realtors, due to some previous experiences. From the first time we spoke with Doug Hutchins, we were impressed with his professionalism and his capabilities. However, it wasn’t until later we learned just how much Doug strives to go to the extra mile, far exceeding any and all of our expectations. We had a difficult home purchase to negotiate from out of state, and it would have been nightmarish, if not impossible without Doug’s expertise, hard work, and advocacy on our behalf. If there’s any possibility you’ll be hiring a Realtor, you’ll be doing yourself a tremendous favor by going with Doug”
Donovan and Janette - Denver

“Doug has helped our family buy two homes in the past two years. In both cases he was patient, positive and supportive in guiding us through the process and served as an advocate for our interests, making sure any concerns or questions we had were addressed. At the closing of our last purchase, the seller and his Realtor were so impressed by Doug, that they both made a point of telling us what great representation he had provided for us.”
Scott and Monica – Lakewood

“Working with Doug was an absolutely wonderful experience. His expertise and knowledge of the real estate market was top notch. He not only met our needs, but exceeded our expectations throughout the process. After learning what type of home we desired, he would preview homes for us and either eliminate or recommend them to us. Doug was extremely easy to work with and was always pleasant, professional, flexible, prompt with returning e-mails and phone calls; and thorough in helping to meet our needs. We have nothing but good things to say about Doug, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.”

“My experience with Doug was most wonderful. He worked diligently to meet my needs. Doug is the best Realtor I have ever worked with.”
Kristi – Denver
Pete and Lori – Parker

“We were very pleased with Doug. In all phases of the home-buying process, he was right there to help. From searching for and inspecting homes, to the financing and closing; Doug was very knowledgeable and informative. He was instrumental in helping us in our purchase, which we love! We would definitely work with Doug again if the opportunity presents itself and we recommend him very highly!”
Mike and Cheryl – Englewood

“I was a first-time home buyer and my experience with Doug was wonderful. I was a little scared but he always let me know what' was going on and is very knowledgeable at what he does. Anything you need he helps you with and is there 100%!”
Alexandra – Lakewood
- “Doug is a consummate professional. He is very knowledgeable with real estate transactions, but excels at explaining and addressing the complicated financial aspects of our purchases. We used Doug to buy 2 properties and in both occasions he exceeded our expectations. He cares about the people he represents and works very hard to protect their interests.”
Anthony and Sue – Denver
- “Everybody I know who uses Doug says they will never go with anyone else again and I feel the same. The level of service, knowledge, ability and business sense that he brings to the table are unrivaled. I tell my friends they'd be crazy to go with anyone else.”
Diane – Denver
- “We had to relocate out of state for work on short notice. Doug did an amazing job of selling our house quickly and for a price that was good given the time of year and the state of the economy. We’ve worked with a number of Realtors over the years and Doug is far and away the best. His knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and professionalism are extraordinary. Doug made what could have been a very stressful situation a great experience! If we needed a Realtor again, we would use Doug in an instant.”
Doug and Jean – Broomfield
- “This was our 2nd time using Doug to purchase a home and our 1st time using him to sell. Selling and buying a home at the same time can be very stressful, but Doug’s dedication and great service made it easy for us. He was always available to answer questions and take our calls. Doug worked diligently so that we got the best deal possible on both ends of the transaction. We’ve recommended him several times and will continue to do so.”
Shawn and Amy – Castle Rock
- “Our experience with Doug was absolutely wonderful. He is the most professional Realtor we ever had. His knowledge of homes, skills of negotiating deals and patience with clients highly exceeded our expectation. We would definitely work with Doug again and recommend him to anyone without hesitation.”
Dan and Vivien – Greenwood Village
- “I was first made aware of Doug by a coworker; he was her buyer’s agent for her home purchase. She told me that I should talk to Doug as he worked hard for her. Doug knew it would be awhile before we were in the market. Still he arranged a meeting with my wife and I immediately. Beyond doing what we expect of an excellent Realtor (arranging showings, running stats, etc), at closing, he tenaciously went about allaying our fears of losing our contract on our dream home (the seller wanted to close in two weeks). Coupling his work ethic with Leslie’s (his assistant) energy and they are diabolical!”
Curt and Sandi – Lakewood
- “Our buying experience with Doug Hutchins has been the best we have ever had with a Realtor. We have been through this process many times in several states and this particular time our buying took ten months as we were selling another home in another state. Doug’s patience was the same showing the last home as it was showing the first. We ran into some very complicated real estate challenges due to offering on some short sales and foreclosures and ended up purchasing where the HOA was very complex. In every situation Doug covered us by reading through stacks of paperwork in an effort to protect our financial interest and help us make the right decision. Doug put his own interest in making a sale second to our financial protection by pointing out some facts that we needed to consider on each potential home. By the end of the process we were so appreciative of Doug’s attention to detail, loyalty to his clients, and devotion to our successful purchase that we would not consider using another Realtor in the future. He and Leslie, his assistant, are absolutely top notch at customer service.”
Bart and Sherri – Highlands Ranch
- “Doug was consistent and persistent during a challenging real estate market. He was helpful and always had a strategy or idea for the next step.”
Trent - Denver
- “I was highly impressed with the level of service I received from Doug Hutchins. My family and I were relocating from overseas and were in a time crunch to find a home so that we could register our children in school. Doug was very attentive to our needs, and extremely knowledgeable about the area as well as structural questions about the properties. I felt that Doug was very reliable and honest in his opinions. Compared to other Realtors I have worked with in the past I felt that Doug was very sincere in his efforts to find us the right house.”
Dino - Highlands Ranch

“Doug Hutchins and Leslie Heldenbrand were very professional from the beginning to the end of our home buying process. They helped us meet all deadlines that came up during the closing process of our new home. Anytime we had a question their response was quick and accurate. Since we are new to the area they have helped us settle into the community as smoothly as possible.”
Ken and Paula - Castle Rock
