Ben Ellefson - Realtor, Compass

Let my 22+ years of experience help you make your next move. My father was a developer in Colorado in the early 80s. I am an avid Colorado outdoors person.

I see real estate as service first with a blend of sales and negotiating that's essential for making sure my clients get what they are after, whether buying a home or selling one. Having a passion for this industry and for its work is why I have been involved in home building and home sales since 2000. My first taste on my own was in the new home industry in early 2000 with a national builder in Denver. After almost eight years and many high achievement awards for sales and customer service, I wanted to find a way that gave more personally and professionally to my clients. I feel I have a firm handle on all areas of metro and central Denver—very much like a kung-fu grip on real estate. In my 22-year career in home consulting and sales, I have helped people with everything from the first-time-buyer townhome to multi-million-dollar estates. I really love Colorado and all it has to offer. I’m now living in the Denver Highlands and loving the urban lifestyle. I was born in Wheat Ridge, and have lived from Aurora to Fort Collins and just about everywhere in between. It has given me the knowledge of the more mature and new areas in Colorado. Skiing in the wintertime and mountain biking in the summer keeps me fit and in tune with the active Colorado lifestyle. Many people that are moving to Colorado or that live here now want to be near areas so that they can enjoy what Colorado offers. That is where I can help you in finding the next house you want to make a home. My Real Estate Philosophy: Buying and selling homes with clients is really a rare blend that encompasses business and emotional decisions for all involved. I feel that is important to know when to be aggressive and when to be empathetic. This is why well-rounded service is so important. Key advice: None of us are as smart as all of us working together for the common goal. My Approach: Honesty, Tenacity, Passion, Fun. These words define me as a person as well as how I treat my Real Estate business. I see real estate as service first with a blend of sales and negotiating that is essential for making sure my clients get what they are after, whether buying a home or selling one

📊 August market update is here!

Here’s a look at what happened across the Denver metro and Boulder County markets in August 2026.

The numbers show a market that’s giving buyers and sellers different opportunities. Denver saw more new listings year over year, while average days on market remained relatively steady. Boulder County saw fewer sales and new listings, with homes spending longer on the market.

What does that mean for you? The overall market is only part of the story. Your neighborhood, price point, property type, and goals all matter when it comes to making the right move.

Thinking about buying or selling? Let’s talk about what the numbers mean for your situation. 🏡

It's often the little details that leave the biggest impression.

A custom accent wall. Thoughtful millwork. Crown molding. Built-in shelving. Updated hardware. These aren't just design features, they add personality, character, and make a home feel intentional.

While buyers may come for the layout or location, it's the details that help a house feel memorable long after the showing is over.

Whether you're preparing to sell or simply making your home your own, never underestimate the impact of thoughtful finishing touches. ✨

Giving up a 3% rate when today’s rates are nearly twice that is tough. But your interest rate is only one piece of the puzzle.

If you’ve outgrown your home, need more space, want a new location, or your home simply isn’t working anymore, it may be worth exploring your options.

Instead of waiting for the “perfect” market, focus on what you can control:
✔️ Your budget
✔️ Your financing options
✔️ What you need in your next home

Before you decide you’re stuck, let’s run the numbers. No pressure, just honest advice to help you make the right move. 🏡
