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.

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!

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.

72%

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

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 Denver rental applications.

The amount of money we guarantee you for pet damage or legal eviction expenses. If we approve and place a tenant in your Denver 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 days

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.

303-210-5744

That’s not our Denver 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!

$8000

The amount of money we have donated to our ‘Grace-Gives’ fund over the last 12 months. 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.

Pros and Cons of Investing 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.

Lower price point for most real estate
Increasing rental rates
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
