For two decades, Ben Smith thrived in one of the toughest industries around. He started at the bottom, scraping plates and washing dishes, then worked his way through nearly every role a restaurant could offer. By the end of his hospitality career, he was directing operations for a restaurant group across Boulder and Denver and had even opened a restaurant from the ground up in Erie. Armed with a Food and Beverage Management degree from Johnson & Wales University, he knew the long nights, relentless pressure, split-second problem-solving, and constant demands of keeping both customers and employees happy. In short, Ben knew how to perform when the heat was on.

Then came 2020.

As he and his wife, Molly, raised two young boys, the demands of restaurant life were becoming harder to manage. When the pandemic froze the hospitality industry, Ben knew it was time for a pivot. “The late nights and weekends and demands of the restaurant lifestyle were just becoming increasingly difficult for us,” Ben explains. “And then when the pandemic shut down the industry, it kind of became the sign that we needed to just transition.”

Long before Colorado Native Christy Hepp became one of the state’s most trusted real estate professionals, she was growing up on her family’s crop farm in Colorado, where mornings began before sunrise and work came before everything else. She gathered eggs, fed cattle, and, during one unforgettable summer in college, worked as her father’s hired hand. She drove tractors, irrigated fields of sugar beets, corn, wheat, and alfalfa, and served as her father’s right-hand woman.

That hard work made her who she is today, giving her an unbreakable, lifelong work ethic.

“I think my background with how I grew up taught me that you have to work hard,” Christy reflects. “And when I started in real estate, it was a tough time and lots of short sales, foreclosures, and you really had to work for the business.”

When the global economy fractured in 2008, the ground vanished beneath the fine art industry overnight. For two decades, Jill Muller and her husband ran a highly successful wholesale art publishing business, generating five million dollars a year in sales and supplying elite galleries from San Francisco to Miami. But as the banking debacle unfolded, galleries shuttered and discretionary spending evaporated. Jill found herself at a crossroads at 50 years old: watch her life’s work dissolve, or reinvent herself entirely.
At that exact time, her daughter, Tara Armijo, was preparing to attend the University of Colorado Boulder. Needing to secure student housing for Tara in a volatile market, Jill stepped
into real estate as a buyer. That’s when she saw a spark of opportunity.

“I had been in sales my whole life,” Jill recalls. “I thought, ‘If I can sell art, I can sell houses.’ It’s not the same, but I knew art wasn’t going to survive, so I got my license in 2010. I had to think outside the box.”

Jill targeted her marketing toward out-of-state CU parents looking for properties for their college-bound children.

This brilliant niche strategy launched a powerhouse second career. For over a decade, Jill thrived as an independent agent across Colorado’s Front Range. But by 2022, managing a demanding, purely referral-based business on her own became overwhelming. Getting closer to retirement, she needed a partner who shared her standards.

Some people build careers, others build communities. For Kristi Clary, a REALTOR® with milehimodern in Boulder, the two have never been separate. As a connector, advocate, and champion
of local businesses and nonprofits, she has built her life around a simple principle: when one person succeeds, the entire community benefits. Whether supporting local organizations, attending fundraisers, helping families through difficult transitions, or connecting people with resources, she is constantly finding ways to elevate those around her. When a friend has a new venture, she is the first one to sign up for their services. A colleague once told her, “You are the one who lifts all the boats in the harbor.”

“I believe we are here to support one another,” she says. “Every opportunity I have to help someone grow, heal, connect, or thrive, strengthens the community. The power is really when people follow their passions, and I am always here to support that!”

Drawn to Colorado
Originally from New York’s Finger Lakes region, Kristi came to Colorado as a college student and never looked back.

At 8 years old, Rachel Weinberg was knocking on strangers’ doors selling Girl Scout cookies. In college, she was selling Cutco knives and driving all over town with MapQuest directions printed from the internet. Long before she became one of Colorado’s most respected REALTORS®, she was learning a lesson that would shape her entire career: success comes from connecting with people.

Twenty years later, that same work ethic formed in her youth and ability to build trust have carried Rachel through housing crashes, floods, wildfires, bidding wars, market frenzies, and every curveball the real estate industry could throw her way.

And somehow, she still loves every minute of it.

This year marks Rachel’s 20th anniversary in real estate, a milestone she celebrates with both gratitude and perspective.

“I feel like I’ve seen it all,” she says with a laugh.

Remember the ‘80s? The decade of cassette tapes, big hair bands, and shoulder pads? That’s the same decade that Fred Dodds started making his mark in real estate. With four decades in the industry, he still genuinely loves what he does.

“The great thing about real estate is that it’s never boring,” says Fred. He has seen the industry change in ways few agents can claim. When Fred first got his real estate license in 1984, the MLS arrived as a printed book every two weeks. Contracts were just two pages long. There were no cell phones, no online listings, and no instant digital signatures. It was the dark ages of real estate.

Yet through every shift in technology, Fred has remained exactly where he started: WK Real Estate.

“It was a great choice,” he says of joining the company, then known as Wright Kingdom. “I couldn’t be happier with how it worked out.”
