New Era's service is first-rate! From their Internet savvy to their patience finding the right condo for me, they handle their business like the best Realtors do. They were always available and returned my phone calls within minutes. They are more than just agents- much, much more!

~Darren C.

I could not have been happier with John as my Realtor. He kept me continually informed of details and changes that were beyond our control and consistently advocated for me. He helped me secure a new home at the price I was looking for coupled by an expedited sale of my current loft. He has my highest and most enthusiastic recommendation.

~Joe S.

The folks at New Era knew exactly what we wanted and needed as soon as we met with them. Their professionalism and personality made the process of buying our first condo fun, exciting and easy. They provided everything we were promised and more. Any time we contacted them we received a response immediately. We will certainly refer ALL of our friends, family and associates to New Era Realty when they require a Realtor's services!

~Jake & Amy T.

I live in Chicago but have three children in Colorado. A condo in the Denver area would be a great investment and place for my "starving artist" son to live so I turned to the web and found mynewera.com, a great web site and very easy to navigate. Within a day I received a message from John asking if he could be of assistance...so I told him what I was looking for. After some back and forth correspondence I was on a flight to Denver. John had a two day agenda lined up and we saw everything available that met our requirements. John knows the Denver area and was professional and insightful with his comments as we went along. By the time I flew home, I was the owner of the "perfect" condo, thanks also to amazing help of Eric Kulbe, Johns recommended lender. It should always be this easy and I wish John and his team were here in Chicago!

~Fran B.

New Era is amazing! They not only met our expectations but exceeded them. They were always available and worked incredibly hard for us. We never waited and wondered for a call back. Even when it was last minute, they were always available for us. Not only did they sell our condo quickly, but also helped us find our dream home! We will definitely recommend New Era to all of our friends and family!

~Ben & Jen J.

We had a 100% positive experience with John Stegner. He was always available for questions and it always felt like he had our best interests at heart. Not only is he good at his job but he clearly enjoys it and is a pleasure to work with. The highest compliment we can give is that we would use John as our agent in the future and we've recommended him to family and friends.

~Mark & Betsy G.

After having disappointing experiences with three different realtors, I was fortunate to finally find John Stegner. John was professional, he listened and his web search tool was outstanding. If you are looking for a realtor who has high integrity, understands the market, is committed to meeting your needs and provides excellent representation for his clients throughout the whole process, I would highly recommend John Stegner.

~Kurt T.

As a young, single, first-time home buyer, I was extremely cautious in the search for my first "home". John was the first realtor I found. I was pretty lucky. John spent months helping me find the perfect condo. He exhibited patience, expertise, honesty, and a positive attitude through the entire experience. He seemed to truly recognize and respect my struggles and allowed me to take as much time as I needed. In the end, I found a place that fit every requirement I had. The entire experience proved to be much less intimidating than I had expected. I will definitely be a client of his as long as I am in Denver. Thank you for everything.

~Kari T.

Brian is the first realtor to really spend quality time with me to discover exactly what I am looking for in a home. As a Denver Colorado native Brian truly knows the metro Denver area, as well as the long term market trends. Brian brings a level of professionalism to the real estate business that I've never seen before. When it comes to showing properties Brian's flexibility more than accommodates my extremely busy lifestyle. I plan on using Brian for all of my real estate needs because he is not just a realtor, he's a friend.

~Mike C.

John, you are definitely a 10 in all areas! You not only answered our many questions in a timely manner but put us in contact with others that were very knowledgeable and nice. You not only acted as our realtor but an ambassador for the City of Denver! I will definitely refer anyone that I come into contact with to you because I know I am placing them in great hands. We feel like we ended up with not only a great place but a friend. You're amazing!!

~Tammy C.

Chris thank you for all the help in getting us our first home! You took us by the hand and made the first time home buying experience easy. We got the house we love and you had our best interest in mind. You also found us great financing with your preferred lender. Chris always returned my phone calls and updated us on listings. Because of that he alerted us on a price drop on our favorite home. We got our offer in and the rest is History. We got our dream home because of your hard work and relationship with the listing agent. We will use you again we it is time to move. Thanks and good luck!

~Nate and Kat W.

Thank you New Era Realty for all of your help! These guys are absolutely wonderful, professional and aggressive in a very nice way! I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home without question!

~Josef G.

Chris did an excellent job of coordinating everything - from directing me to the online searches, locating a mortgage broker to get prequalified, showing me homes in my price range, familiarizing me with the home buying process, closing, and follow-up. I couldn't have done it without your help, Chris! Thanks much!

~Kathy W.

Chris Behrens and his entire team made my long distance move an absolute success. From showing me only homes I could afford that fit my lifestyle to signing my closing docs, my experience was extraordinary. Chris even helped me on Sunday morning with directions when I couldn't find my new home! Thank you for the best possible experience and for a fantastic home!

~Stacey L.

As a younger person buying a home Chris B., helped me understand the process, didn't treat me as if I should still be renting a place- I felt that refreshing- He is a real asset to the New Era Realty Company. The whole experience with them was great- so thanks for everyone at the company for your hard work

~Lauren T.

We were VERY satisfied with New Era's service. The communication was awesome!

~Dean & Lisa M.

Chris did a fantastic job the whole way through, he knows his stuff inside and out and is a great resource for anyone looking to buy a home.

~Matt

Thanks to Chris for making my first home buying experience a fun and easy one. Without him, his contacts and his team I doubt the transaction would have taken place. Their hardwork and commitment to getting my deal done was second to none!

~Jared S.

John was great to work with from start to finish. He made the experience simple and stress free. Unlike many agents we have worked with, his knowledge of the market made us comfortable with deciding on a home quickly. To this day we are certain that due to John's guidance, we got the best home on the market for our needs and wants.

~Amber & Jay T.

Chris & Eric, Craig & I really appreciate how smooth our house-buying process went; thanks for helping to make that happen. It was all pretty easy. I'll certainly recommend you guys to any friends looking to buy in town. Cheers, Aleka

~Aleka P

Brian, thank you so much for helping us find the perfect home in Brighton! You and your team went above and beyond what was needed to help us find a home!

~Melissa & David D.

Brian went above and beyond in helping us find the right home with only a few days to look. He was attentive to our needs, kept the choices within our price range and knew exactly where to look for the best deals. He is highly knowledgeable about the Metro Denver area. Not only did he lead us to a great neighborhood that we otherwise would not have noticed but he even helped us get our backyard fence installed by recommending a friend who did excellent work at a reasonable price. This was our fourth home purchase and I can honestly say we have never had such friendly and professional service!

~Michelle & Rodolfo G.

Brian & John were both professional and personable. It was clear from our first meeting that they were driven and motivated to achieve our common goals. Their diverse sales experience in real estate and beyond gives them a skill set and business savvy that sets them apart from every other realtor we've ever dealt with. We had a very unique home to sell and with the help of their marketing skills, we had an offer within 45 days (much sooner than expected) and they sold our home at 98% of the asking price. They delivered what they promised; following through on every aspect of our sale and the purchase of our new home. When things became stressful, they helped ease the pain by making phone calls and securing services we needed to complete the transaction. They had the best follow through that we have seen from any other realtor. They were straight forward and honest with us and understood our needs while always keeping our best interests in mind. Buying and selling a home can be a very emotional and stressful process - it was wonderful to work with a team who was there to make it easier for us. I would recommend New Era Realty to everyone I know who is thinking about buying or selling a home, business or investment property!

~Mitch C. & Patricia S.

Brian did a great job from start to finish selling my house and buying a new house. I couldn't be happier. He was very clear in what he could do for me and provided detailed information on what he felt he could deliver (the man has graphs and statistics galore, people), he responded quickly to questions, and he was always proactive, being in constant contact with my buyers and sellers and making sure the process ran as smoothly as possible. The guy knows his stuff!

~Gary P.

Working with John at New Era Realty was a great experience. The website is the best realty search website I've ever used and made it very easy to search through the MLS. John was great to work with and very easy to work with. He showed us about 13 houses, mostly in one day, and helped us make the best decision for us. He was very easy to get a hold of and was very responsive to e-mails. He helped me a lot through the closing phase and saved me several times when my lender slipped up. I strongly recommend New Era Realty for anyone who wants an easy, stress free home buying experience.

~John B.

We had no idea who to use when it came to choosing a realtor in this area (south Denver) but was so happy in the end we picked John to help us. After I think 4 visits from Steamboat and over 60 houses all over the South of Denver area, we finally decided on Castle Pines North & are now in an area plus a house we adore. John came with us to every house, spent the time showing us all the pro's and con's, but stepping back giving my husband & I time to reflect on our own when needed too. I think what I liked about John more than anything he isn't the normal pushy realtor I find is the norm in this industry, but was just so easy to work with, but knows his stuff!! Moving house is also as most of us know very stressful, and with John's assistance he helped take a lot of the anxiety out of this process. Plus his website www.mynewera.com is a great tool and one of the best we used to look at houses from a distance. Overall I would recommend John to others without a moment's hesitation. Cheers John for all your hard work at a time when we needed someone to help us ' you were great!!

~Jill C.

New Era Realty helped my husband and I sell the homes we each owned before we got married as well as buy a larger home for our new life together all within a very short period of time. Getting two houses ready to sell and looking for a new one to buy felt very daunting initially, but their patience and professionalism put us completely at ease. They returned every phone call and every email from us almost immediately. I appreciated the team's patience, attention and professionalism; they truly made me feel like I was their only customer!

~Shannon M.

From the start, Brian was very attentive to my needs and requests. I really cannot imagine how the entire process could have went any smoother. Brian provided such professional, complete service that I would feel extremely comfortable recommending his service. Great, great job and thanks so much!

~Stephanie P.

I was looking for a home at an emotional time in my life. John was not only profession in relating to my needs for a home but his kindness and patience were greatly appreciated. He took the time to show me so many different homes in a tireless and focused manner. I hope other buyers will get an opportunity to work with someone as dedicated to his field of expertise as John is.

~Antonia G.

As a first-time home-buyer, I had a lot of questions and uncertainties. Emily was consistently available to answer my questions and to guide me through the process. She not only made me comfortable with my decision to purchase a home; I knew I could trust her. I will definitely recommend her to anyone I know seeking an agent.

~Megan A.

Brian found us our new home and sold our old home in less than one week! That is incredible! Brian is the best agent we have ever worked with, he really is!

~Craig & Karen K.

Working with Brian was a great experience. He showed us a great variety of homes and made us feel sure that we were getting a fair deal for the home we wanted. Always listened to our opinions and did not encourage us towards a property we were not happy with. He was easily available and knowledgeable about any questions we had. I would highly recommend his services to any prospective homebuyer!

~Seth & Caren M.

Emily found me a great house that I love, and was there to work up a contract at an hour's notice so that I could be the first one in with an offer. She was always available when I needed her and is still there for me to answer questions or give me advice. I will definitely use her for my next transaction. Five years and we're on!

~Kristin K.

We feel blessed to have had a great realtor like John to take care of all the important things for us. John was so knowledgeable and helpful with the whole buying process, and we will not hesitate to recommend John to anyone interested in buying or selling a home in the future. We have become John's clients for life.

~Michael & Susan H.

John was diligent on details, always gave us timely updates on the process and was a professional in all respects. I have instructed my employer to have John placed on the list of preferred Realtors for employees relocating to the Denver area.

~Chris M.

Emily was always accessible to us and very quick to respond, even after the deal was done. She kept things simple and was kind, understanding and professional throughout the process. We would definitely use her services again and have already recommended her to our friends and family.

~John & Kelly B.

Excellent customer service! New Era is very knowledgeable and helped guide us through the process of owning our first home. They made us feel like their first priority. They responded in a timely manner to all our questions and concerns. If you are looking for high quality service and a pleasant buying experience, CALL NEW ERA REALTY!

~Nick & Janelle L.

Our experience with John was enjoyable from beginning to end, and that's a great compliment in a process that can be challenging and sometimes confusing. John couldn't have treated us better, both as a businessman and a friend.

~Debbie M.

Brian is great! He is willing to do whatever you ask, no matter how many times you change your mind. Never pushy! He always listens - really listens! He is always prompt to respond and answer all your questions. Brian is VERY easy to work with!

~Mike & Amanda S.

Brian stood by me daily answering any and all of my questions quickly and correctly. He was kind and patient working very hard all the while.

~Don B.

Emily is knowledgeable, passionate and understands her clients desires. She doesn't stop until it's exactly what her client wants. Additionally, she takes a personal interest in her clients' needs. I would absolutely use her and only her for my future real estate transactions.

~Jacqueline M.

We would recommend New Era in a heartbeat without any reservations! They went above and beyond the call of duty including driving us to the airport and letting us park our car at his house while we moved out to Denver. Brian had a great sense of humor and a relaxed personality which helped calm us during a very hectic house hunting trip.

~Jeff & Lisa H.

I am thrilled with the job New Era did. They saved me several thousand dollars on the purchase of our new home. The list of things they did for me and the ways in which they looked out for my best interests, is VERY long. Brian really is a great agent and I would never consider using anyone else again. I would highly recommend New Era Realty to anyone looking for a home.

~Lynn B.

Brian was low-key and made sure we were feeling comfortable. We never felt under pressure. Brian was always available when we had questions. New Era Realty definitely goes the extra mile for you!

~Ruben & Priscilla G.

We found Brian to be a very good agent. He was always around when we needed him. He was very flexible with his schedule when we needed to find a house quickly. We are definitely planning on using New Era Realty the next time we are ready to sell and buy a home!

~Oliver & Kara P.

Brian is a honest and reliable realtor. His responsiveness was great and we consistently received callbacks within minutes. We would definitely use him again and refer him to our friends & family!

~Kristin & Joseph M.

Brian is the most efficent and aggressive Realtor that I had the pleasure of working with!

~Mike & Barb B.

New Era made buying our house a great experience. Their presence, follow through and friendly attitude helped us through all of the steps and created a smooth buying experience for our family. We will definitely recommend New Era Realty to our friends and family!

~Chuck & Debi R.

My townhome sold in less than 2 weeks! Others in my complex have been on the market for MONTHS! WOW! New Era was always quick to respond to my requests. They also have a great marketing plan for selling homes!

~Linda K.

This was the smoothest real estate transaction we have ever had! We really appreciate how you constantly kept in mind what we had told you was important to us both in a home and in an agent. Thank you for everything!

~Ken & Sue M.

John and Brian were fantastic!!! I am a very fussy person and John & Brian were so patient with me. Their knowledge of paper work is unmatchable and the were always willing to go the extra step to get us our home. They never complained about all the extra work we created for them and made the process of buying a home FUN!

~Sean & Nicole D.

Through the ups and downs of selling our home and purchasing the next, John and Brian were always there for us. We greatly appreciated both their patience and professionalism. Thanks Guys!!!

~Lisa & Jason S.

I really enjoyed working with John and Bonnie. They were very flexible and willing to show me as many houses as my daughter and I wanted to see. Even 12 in one day!! They were a lot of fun to work with and very knowledgeable in all aspects of the real estate business. I would highly recommend them to anyone. P.S. John can be very entertaining; my daughter would testify to that!! Thanks for all your help in finding our perfect home

~Karen I.

Buying and selling a house can be very stressful on a family. John and Bonnie have a great sense of humor which made the experience much more enjoyable for my daughter and I. We had a lot of fun looking at houses, and they were patient while we waded through many neighborhoods looking for the right place to move to. John and Bonnie love animals and were especially in tuned to our need for a neighborhood and home that was dog-friendly. Also, I was impressed with their diligence in getting my house sold in a slow market. Their aggressive advertising paid off. We sold our home and moved in to the perfect home in a great neighborhood!

~Terri R.

My husband and I bought a house from John and Bonnie in October 2006. We had looked at several houses with them and I was afraid we were trying their patience because we had great expectations with a limited price range. John and Bonnie were so interesting and comfortable to be around. They actually made house hunting fun. They were always prompt and seemed to have an insight to what we were looking for, which paid off for us because they encouraged us to look at a house we didn't think would suit us, but as it turned out, it was just the house we had been dreaming of.

~Bonnie & John T.

John and Bonnie Stegner are amazing people!! We don't consider them just our realtor's, but our friends as well. They helped us at the last minute when coming from Wisconsin to Colorado and they made sure everything went smoothly. They helped us find a house, close on the house, and move in in less than 45 days total!! They treated us with the respect others may not have because we are so young and unconventional. They even made fast friends with our greyhound!! We have the perfect house and eight months later we are still in contact with them!! Everything was about us no matter the inconvenience it may have played upon them. We would suggest then to anyone who wants a reality experience that's not normal.......meaning one that is reliable and memorable; that they use John & Bonnie!! What more could you ask for?

~Bethany and Damien B.

John and Bonnie are great, they are diligent thorough and hard working. We were about to put an offer on a house that was beautiful but just not quite the dream house. Bonnie went above and beyond in her search that day for other properties and found a house for us that was everything we ever wanted and more. It had what we were looking for, and it was less expensive. They put our needs above all else, I would recommend them anytime!

~Aaron and Mari Peterson

I worked with John to purchase a vacation home in the mountains. The purchase was very complex and challenging because of some of the unique aspects of the home. Without John's experience and knowledge I would have been uncertain about the transaction. With John's guidance I was able to move forward with confidence and ultimately to a successful conclusion. I would recommend John to anyone who requires the best from their agent.

~Tim S.

Brian was extremely professional, friendly and responsive from the beginning of my search until closing. He understood my preferences and "must-haves" and kept me updated on available properties within those parameters. He covered all the details and his experience and expertise resulted in a smooth closing on a place I just love!

~Kristin R.

New Era Realty delivered everything they promised. They answered all of our calls and on the rare occasion our agent wasn't available, he got back to us within the hour. Having never been through the process of buying a home, it was VERY easy with their assistance. Not only will we recommend New Era Realty in the future, we already have!

~Paul & Lacey B.

I would like to thank New Era Realty for all their hard work. In just a couple of short meetings Brian was able to find what we were looking for. Brian made our first purchase very easy and worry-free. We are very excited about our new home!

~Isaac P. & Melanie M.

Emily explained everything to us so that we were clear on the whole process of purchasing a home and what each stage entailed. She kept us informed of dates and deadlines and helped us make decisions by offering educated and objective advice. Emily was available whenever we needed to talk to her and was always up for taking us on another showing, etc. She is sweet and personable, and was a joy to have as part of this journey! She delivered 100%!

~Patricia W. & Joshua D.

Chris, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for all of your hard work in helping me purchase our home. I know you have a good business and you definitely proved yourself to me with how hard you pushed for my property. If I hear from anyone in the market for a home, I will send them your way! Thank you!

~Jim B.
