Paul Roach, RE/MAX of Boulder

For his entire 32-year career, Paul Roach has lived, worked and invested in Boulder. He has an intimacy with the people, neighborhoods and the market that few real estate brokers share. He is an expert in local regulations, processes and properties, and has strong relationships with mortgage brokers, title companies, appraisers, insurance companies, contractors and inspectors, so transactions go smoothly. “The primary thing is trust,” he says. “If a client asks me, ‘Should I buy this house?’ and I don’t think so, I say so. And I look at the resale value of the home they’re considering, and whether it’s a good value, and I advise them. For sellers, there are four things that determine if a house sells: price, condition, location and terms. I work with the owner to prepare the property properly, and to stage the house. It takes negotiating ability and finesse to deal with another agent, and it’s important to have a good reputation with one’s peers.” Roach is proud that in 2007 and 2008 the RE/MAX office in Boulder was the No. 1 producing single office in terms of commissions.” Roach’s volume in sales is $150 million in the last 20 years. “A real estate agent is a psychologist, lawyer, financier, decorator, social worker and engineer,” he quips.
