Thomas Barkoczy II

Red Glasses Realty Keller Williams
Past President

I have always been in the Housing Industry....always. Most years were spent in new construction. Then, the financial meltdown of 2008...I had no work. Having a family and a house payment, I started doing any work I could...mostly remodels. One night in 2009, I ran into a Broker I'd seen around...young guy. I told him I was taking any jobs I could, to make ends meet. He said, "you're working for me." Over the next three years, we renovated homes, (2009-2012) himself as the real estate broker, and myself as the designer/construction manager. We renovated over 25+projects...homes and apartments. After that, we parted ways professionally...and are still friends, today.

I decided for myself...I needed to do what he did. I took the real estate license exam and passed it, the first time. Since then, I have enjoyed success in the real estate industry. This is due to my work ethic, continuing education, and comprehension of real estate...from the GROUND up. This is my 9th year as a Real Estate Broker. In my 4th year, I trained, coached, and taught new real estate agents, for Keller Williams. In my 6th year, I opened my own Company. Outside real estate, I love soccer - playing and watching! Also, I'm a member of the Western Slope Astronomy Club, and The Next Big Idea, (Book) Club. I have a wife named Jessica and a daughter named Rainy. Call me anytime between 7 am & 7 pm. If I don't pick up...I'll call you by end of day's business. 970.201.0257

If you got this far.......thanks for reading!
