Testimonials

Our experience with Tolan Real Estate has been exceptional. Jess has always provided us with all the information we’ve needed, has been a patient and honest explainer of both nitty gritty details and the big picture consequences for various options. He brought to bear his wealth of experience and keen analytical insight upon all our conversations. Most important — and this is why I recommend Jess Tolan without hesitation — it is clear that Jess is interested in the customer’s long-term happiness. He has figured out what makes sense for our family, and I have always felt that it was our best interest — not the short-term closure of a deal that was motivating him. In a word, my trust for him is profound. We cannot recommend Tolan Real Estate more highly.

Recently Jess helped me sell my long-time Park Hill home and purchase a gorgeous condo in Cherry Creek. He also helped me finance the purchase through his other company, Thoroughbred Financial, and that streamlined things as I had one point person for both deals. Jess does a great deal of research to assist in setting the listing price as well as making an offer. He’s also very detail oriented and he and his team easily work through a myriad of complex issues. He has a wide breadth of knowledge for all things Real Estate and did a terrific job on what amounted to three transactions. I would not only highly recommend Tolan Real Estate, but I have!

I’ve known Jess and Dona Tolan for a long time. My family and me have done numerous loan deals through Thoroughbred Financial, their mortgage company. On the Real Estate side, Jess recently helped me with an extremely complex deal. The property had a ton of issues and it seemed likely we’d inherit them if we were to buy the property. This meant we needed to get a dramatic drop in price to shift our risk. It took time, but Jess finally got the seller to come to terms with the multitude of issues, and ultimately we struck an agreement at our target purchase price. The price reduction was dramatic. Then, while under contract we had much to work through with the City and County of Denver and FEMA, not to mention a slew of environmental concerns and plat issues. We were able to resolve all of the major, and most of the minor issues prior to closing, and somehow had fun doing it. I don’t think there are many out there that could have pulled all of this off!

I love working with Jess. He helped me sell two duplexes near Sloan’s Lake and use the proceeds to do a 1031 exchange for another property near the River North Arts District. Jess answered all my questions quickly and negotiated a great price. In fact, at the closing, the other agent said “Your agent negotiated a great deal for you!” I also used Jess as my mortgage broker and got me a fantastic rate. I’m an investor and call him often to pick his brain on the real estate market and interest rates. I DEFINITELY recommend Jess and will certainly work with him in the future!

As this was my first home purchase, I was totally unaware of the process. Jess explained everything clearly and was prompt, thorough and patient in answering my many questions! It was great to have someone who was advocating for me during the entire process. He helped me identify items that should be negotiated and provided me with great contacts to handle appraisals. In a sellers market, I got more than I expected out of negotiations and a fantastic deal on my house. I trust them enough to recommend them to my friends and family for their home purchases.
