Real Estate Help Beyond Buying and Selling: 3 Ways The Modglin Collection Can Help

October 9, 2026

Who can help you find a property service professional, estimate your property’s value, or think through a renovation in Colorado? Brigette and Jay Modglin of The Modglin Collection at Kentwood Real Estate can help with all three—even when you aren’t planning to buy or sell.

We serve homeowners, buyers, sellers, investors, and commercial property owners throughout Denver Metro and Colorado’s mountain communities. Our service areas include Denver, Westminster, Broomfield, Erie, Arvada, Boulder, Longmont, Cherry Hills Village, Winter Park, Fraser, and Granby.

Real estate ownership comes with questions long before—and after—a transaction. Here are three ways we can be a resource.

1. Who Can Help Me Find a Home Service Professional?

The Modglin Collection can connect you with service professionals in our network and help you prepare questions to ask before hiring them.

Whether you need a painter, roofer, electrician, or someone to tackle a repair, finding the right person starts with understanding your project.

You might be addressing routine maintenance, refreshing your home, preparing a rental property, or planning improvements before selling. We’re happy to help you make a connection.

What should I ask before hiring a contractor?

Useful questions include:

  • Have you completed projects similar to mine?

  • Can you provide recent references?

  • What work and materials are included in the written estimate?

  • Who will handle any required permits?

  • What is the expected schedule?

  • How will changes to the project or budget be handled?

Comparing the scope of work—not just the price—can help you understand your options and set clear expectations.

2. How Can I Find Out What My Property Could Sell For?

A personalized market analysis estimates your property’s potential selling range by reviewing comparable sales, competing properties, and its unique features.

An online estimate can offer a starting point. A closer review can account for details an automated tool may miss, such as condition, renovations, layout, outdoor space, and location within a neighborhood.

For example, a home in Broomfield may compete with different properties than a downtown Denver condo or a mountain home in Fraser. Selecting relevant comparisons matters.

What affects a home’s estimated market value?

We can evaluate factors such as:

  • Recent sales of comparable homes

  • Properties currently competing for buyers

  • Location, size, layout, and condition

  • Renovations and distinctive features

  • Buyer activity in the surrounding market

For a commercial property, the analysis may also consider income, occupancy, lease terms, property use, and comparable sales or leasing activity.

A market analysis offers an estimated range for planning. It is not a formal appraisal or a guarantee of a future sale price.

Can I request a market analysis if I’m not selling?

Yes. You don’t need a moving date to ask what your property could sell for. An updated estimate can help you think through future plans or decide whether a property improvement fits your goals.

3. Which Property Improvements Are Worth Considering?

The best improvements depend on your property, budget, ownership timeline, and the needs of potential buyers or tenants.

For a homeowner, that could mean a kitchen refresh, bathroom remodel, or outdoor upgrade. For a commercial property owner, it might involve updated finishes, lighting, common areas, or changes that make the space more useful to tenants.

Before committing to a project, we can help you consider how it fits the property and its market.

Will a renovation increase my property’s value?

A renovation may improve a property’s appeal, but it does not automatically return its full cost when you sell.

We can help you think through:

  • Whether the project addresses a practical need

  • What buyers or tenants may expect in that market

  • How the property compares with competing options

  • Whether the update fits your expected ownership timeline

  • How much benefit it provides for your own enjoyment or business use

A project can be worthwhile because it makes your home more comfortable or helps your business operate more effectively. Understanding those benefits alongside potential resale or leasing appeal can help you make a more informed decision.

Can you help with commercial property updates?

Yes. We can discuss how proposed updates may affect buyer or tenant appeal and how they align with your business or investment goals. When a project requires technical expertise, we can help you identify the type of professional to consult.
