I have had a wonderful experience working with both David and Tom in all of my real estate transactions. I have bought two properties with Tom and appreciate how patient and honest he is during the whole process. He was always available to show properties and quick to respond to calls and texts, which is so important in the competitive Denver market. I never felt pressured or rushed and he is an excellent negotiator, willing to go the extra mile to get you the property you want. We recently sold our home with David. He was able to give us great advice on how to get the highest price for our home

We worked with Tom as our main agent, but also got to work with David. This team is fantastic. They were knowledgeable and trustworthy. They found us the perfect house and help us get it for a fair price. Even after the sale was complete, they helped us with the lease back process, finding services like cleaners and doing work on the ground while we where out of town. I will never use another agency. These guys are the best.

Tom Pitzer and the Schlichter Team at Compass Denver did an exceptional job with helping us buy our new house and sell our previous house. Tom was instrumental in helping us secure a winning bid to buy the house of our dreams. The sale of our previous house went equally as well with Tom doing an amazing job explaining all the details to navigate that process to sell at well over what we expected. Tom and the Schlichter Team has been great to work with. Their knowledge and professionalism is evident in everything they do. I have worked with Tom on multiple occasions and I would highly recommend

We worked with Jen to find a home after relocating to Denver from out-of-state. She was absolutely wonderful to work with and was always able to get us a house showing as soon as possible, which is imperative with houses selling so quickly in Denver. Jen helped us navigate this extremely competitive market and we were able to find the perfect home in our dream location. She answered any questions we had and was extremely knowledgeable in the home buying process. We truly enjoyed working with her and my husband and I would absolutely contact her again if we are ever in the buying/selling market

I bought my first home with David back in 2014 and it was a great experience. When it was time for our family to move to a new home, I knew that we would work with David again.
Tom joined the Schlichter team and helped us search to buy our new house. Tom is amazing. He was patient as we zeroed in on our target location, home type, budget. He continued to be patient as we lost out on multiple houses. He helped advise us as we grew frustrated with the process and kept us level headed. In the end, Tom helped us close on an amazing house that we love and made the inspection/closing process a breeze
