I walked in thinking I was about to interview a chef from Highland City Club…

Turns out, I was sitting down with Stewart Ward, a Boulder realtor who grew up in Miami in the 80s and has carved out his own path in the world of Colorado real estate.

In this episode we explore:

• The number of realtors in Colorado vs. Boulder

• How someone like me could make money in Boulder real estate without being a realtor

• Why having your own real estate license can be useful for flipping homes, the way Stewart has done in Oregon and the way my brother does in Georgia

• Affordable housing in Boulder, land leases, rentals, and luxury homes all existing within blocks of one another

• What his home recommendation would be for someone on a budget vs. someone with no budget at all

• The “glass castles” and other iconic homes in Boulder and around the world

• The types of home features I gravitate toward — gas-burning stoves, mold-free hardwood floors, clean materials, functional layouts

• Wood-burning fireplace restrictions in new Boulder homes — and how people try to work around them

• How private memberships and other creative structures may play into future housing or property loopholes

• His take on the best deal he currently has listed in Boulder

• The new hotel developments shaping the next chapter of the city

We also touched on lifestyle adjustments for newcomers to Colorado’s climate and why Stewart was curious about Tribe Vitamins products for clients adapting to the dryness.
