REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK Vera Kiphardt and am presently a Partner at Century 21 Golden West Re- What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a alty, which has been here in Golden since 1965. house? Realtor®
What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? My specialty is listing and selling residential properties with an emphasis on working with Personal Representatives for Estates. First time Buyers are another of my specialties. The home selling and buying process can be stressful and my role is to make that easier.
Century 21 Golden West 1299 Washington Ave. Ste 120 Golden, CO 80401 Direct cell: 303-949-4499 Office: 303-279-7979 Where were you born? I was born in Stockholm, Sweden and moved to Colorado at a young age. How long have you lived in the area? We have lived in the Golden area for approximately 40 years with the exception of moving to Hong Kong for 4 years in the 1980s.
What is the most challenging part of what you do? Depending on the type of market we are in, the challenges can vary; Correct pricing, counseling my clients and matching their wants and needs with their financial abilities. Problem solving is my forte. What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? When I am not working, my family, cooking and traveling are what I enjoy.
What do you like most about it? This is such a great area to work, play and live. We are close to the foothills yet it is easy to get to the Mountains and Denver. Golden has grown to be a thriving little town with great restaurants, shops and people.
Probably the most important thing before starting to house hunt is for the Buyer to have met with a Lender and have their financing started. We are in a multiple offer environment and that Lender letter could make the difference whether they get the property or not. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? We always do our utmost to accommodate our clients even when things happen beyond our control. Once, I had to actually have the closing in my client’s hospital room and everything turned out just fine. It was a little crowded but everyone left happy!
What is the most unusual thing you have encountered while working in Real Estate? After being in the same location for 45 years, we moved our office in January of 2012. We relocated to the Gateway building in the heart of downtown Golden and our location is fantastic.
How long have you worked in Real Estate? I have been a Realtor in the Golden area in the Golden and Denver Metro area for 20 years
WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and sustainable building techniques. The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula on than in a conven onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ mes MORE insula on in the a c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly affordable) energy-efficient new home.
