Discover Why You Should Invest in Brighton Real Estate

We consider Brighton an up-and-coming area and city when it comes to real estate investing.

The city of Brighton is further North of Denver than many communities that are considered Denver suburbs. This creates a buying opportunity for investors looking for lower than average real estate prices (average Brighton real estate is 20% lower than Colorado averages). The net effect is that the CAP rate (return on investment) is often higher in Brighton.

The risk of Brighton real estate investing is that the community is located geographically further away from other metro Denver areas and does not have the local industries, amenities, and infrastructure that other communities have. This creates a buying opportunity, but also is a little higher risk area as compared with other local suburbs.

Pros & Cons To Investing in Brighton Real Estate

THE PROS

Lower price point for most real estate

CAP rate (investment rate of return) is higher than some other areas
Significant upside if the real estate market continues to strengthen

THE CONS

25% higher crime rate as compared to average Colorado city
If the overall real estate market declines, communities like Brighton will be the first to be impacted
Quality of public education is poor as compared to other counties

Why Partner With Us As Your Brighton Rental Property Manager?

These 10 numbers that will give you a glimpse into how we operate, and help you decide if we're a good fit for each other.

99% of Rent Collected

Percentage of rent due that we collect each month. This is due to a very tight applicant screening process, a time-tested internal collection process, and the fact that we have a full-time Director of Accounting (Jessica M) whose only job is to ensure our residents pay on-time each month.
72% Retention

The percentage of our tenants that renew their leases every year. This is important because turnover leads to vacancy – which is the biggest expense you could potentially have as a landlord. More lease renewals leads to less turnover, which results in fewer expenses for you!
12,750 Applications

The approximate number of rental applications we’ve processed. After looking at this number of credit and background reports, we know what to look for when it comes to processing Brighton rental applications.
$1000 Guarantee

The amount of money we guarantee you for pet damage or legal eviction expenses. If we approve and place a tenant in your Brighton rental property and we have to evict that tenant for non-payment of rent, we will pay up to $1,000 of legal fees. We will also pay up to $1,000 in pet damage if we approve a pet who does damage. Click here for more details.
30 Day Guarantee

Although we hope to work together for many years to come, we don’t believe in long-term “forced” contracts. Rather we believe we should earn your business every single day. Should you ever find our services lacking, you can terminate our agreement with a simple 30-day notice; and with no termination fees or penalties.
1st Place

The ranking we received as the 2018 ‘Think Realty’ National Property Manager of the Year. Although we only operate in Colorado we are recognized nationwide as a leader in the property management industry.
24 States

The number of states in which we have taught property management continuing educational classes for state Realtor associations. We teach thousands of Realtors and property managers each year - helping to educate them on how to do property management better.
Grace Gives $15,500

The amount of money we have donated to our ‘Grace-Gives’ fund. We use this money to help responsible residents who encounter unexpected financial difficulties. For every lease we sign, we donate money into our ‘Grace-Gives’ account. We’ve been able to help many residents in time of need! Click here for details.
9 Presidents

The number of U.S. presidents that have served in office since we opened Grace Property Management for business in 1978. In 1978 Jimmy Carter was our President and the Bee Gees had the #1 song (Staying Alive!). When you hand us the keys to the front door of your property, you can feel confident knowing we’re going to be here today, tomorrow, and the next day after that!
303-210-5744

That’s not our Brighton property management office phone number - it’s my (Marc Cunningham) personal cell number. If you ever have a problem as a client, you can call me directly. Just please don't call during dinner, my wife doesn't like that!
