Bought a single family home in 2017 in Puritan, Erie, CO 80516.
Jess helped me purchase my first house. He reduced the stress of buying a house and also went through each document for me as well. Working with Jess saved me countless hours and made the process very easy. He has also stayed in contact on current mortgage rates.

Bought and sold a single family home in 2018 for approximately $950K in Stapleton, Denver, CO 80238.
Jess sold our former home and bought our new one. He got us well over list on our sale and found us a beautiful house at an amazing price in our sale. He is simply amazing and I won't use another realtor until he retires.

Sold a single family home in 2019 for approximately $500K in Five Points, Denver, CO 80205.
If I could give Jess more stars I would. Where can I start? When I decided to sell my rental property, I knew it needed a little work, as it had been rented for about 6 years. I contacted an iBuyer and was offered $360K cash. After talking to Jess, we decided to fix it up, stage and list it. The staging pictures were amazing. I didn't even look like the same house. It looked so good we got over 60 showings! Jess also helped me clean the house, did some landscaping and even bought a window air conditioner for the house. After commissions and closing costs, I walked away with over $445K. So I ended up getting over $85K more for the house by using Jess. Think about that if you are considering an iBuyer. Expertise counts. I will definitely use him again. Jess is Highly Recommended!

Bought a single family home in 2016 for approximately $275K in Heeney, Silverthorne, CO 80498.
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.

Bought and sold a single family home in 2013 in Five Points, Denver, CO 80205.
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 still call him to pick his brain on the market and interest rates.
I DEFINITELY recommend him and will work with him in the future.
