WHAT OUR AGENTS ARE SAYING
“C3 has been instrumental in my career as a realtor. Jesse and John’s mentorship was invaluable to me as a new agent at the time. I was initially attracted to C3 because of their culture and marketing, and still love both, but I have really been fortunate to have been able to build the foundation for my business at C3. The company is large enough to have a wide support network yet small enough to stay nimble and flexible as the business adjusts to the changes in the market. If I have feedback, leadership listens. The value that C3 provides in terms of what is included in the office fee relative to what we pay is excellent and I can feel free to run by business in a way that fits my personality. C3 is as good a place to start one’s career as it is for an established high producing agent and this is what continues to keep me from looking to greener pastures.
The pasture is plenty green at C3
TRAVIS ANNAMEIER
“C3 is even better than I could of imagined! I started at a different brokerage for a couple of years and I was looking to take my business to the next level with a better brokerage. C3 was easily my first choice with no real second place brokerage after interviewing at 7 or 8 different firms. I have grown as a realtor and a person since joining the C3 team which is much more of a family than I could of expected. With the culture that John & Jesse have created, the leaders that the two owners have put into place and the high-quality realtors & staff that C3 has, there is no better place for a realtor to be in Northern Colorado. I now call C3 not only my employer but my home and my family. Thank you!”
RYAN MAGNUS
“C3 has been a great place for me to do business. I’m client focused. Working with a company that wants to help me serve my clients has been wonderful. I’m challenged to do better at pretty much everything. They set the bar high on marketing, communication, contract knowledge, service, professionalism and team work. My client reviews were good before I became part of this company. Now, my clients are going out of their way to find people to refer my way. Working on this team has made me better and given me raving fans!”
MICHAEL SALZA
“I chose to work for this amazing company that John and Jesse started because their values and integrity go hand-in-hand with my own. Their support and knowledge as a new agent contributed greatly to me receiving Rookie of the year!! Thanks John and Jesse for always challenging me to do more for my clients by encouraging me to go the extra mile!!”
“C3 has it all… genuine & caring people, great systems and technology, high traffic office locations, top notch marketing, high producing agents, and significant market share. C3 has always put a focus on helping one another succeed, and because of that support, we are more equipped to offer our clients the absolute best client care in the industry.”
BRETT SALL
“C3 is far superior, in my opinion, to any other company in character and community. They have created a culture of Brokers that truly want to help and support each other. The owners and managing brokers are very intentional in helping you meet your goals, whatever those might be. As a full time working mom, I have felt so much support and encouragement from John and Jesse to balance mom and family life but I have also increased my business every year! They have proven systems (email templates, checklists, staff support, etc.) that help you stay organized and look professional. I am so grateful for this company!”
CHRESA ANDERSON
"I have never been a part of a company that is so awesome, responsive and caring as C3...I am amazed daily at the services and agent caliber....I have had so much help from agents and I can't tell you how much that means...I have been at some good to great companies in 20 years but what you have built here is truly amazing and I very much just want to let you know that I am thrilled being a small part of this company."
