While many boutique real estate brokerages across Colorado face pressure to sell to larger, nationwide firms, West + Main Homes holds its ground and its independence.
Founded in 2017, the Denver-based brokerage operates 100% locally, a distinction that founder and CEO Stacie Staub considers central to everything the company does.
“We remain 100% locally owned and operated, which allows us to serve our community with a deep understanding of the local market and neighborhoods,” Staub says.
“We support local vendors, highlight local artists, and create spaces in our offices where the community can gather.”
That commitment shows up in offices like the company’s RiNo location on Blake Street, where West + Main hosts everything from client parties to full-day agent education summits.
The brokerage treats its offices as community anchors, not just transaction hubs.
Marketing that moves the needle
Ask agents why they chose West + Main Homes, and the answer comes back consistently: marketing and events.
The brokerage employs a full-time team of graphic designers and marketers who continuously evolve the brand to meet agents’ needs.
“We aim to create content and marketing that stands out, while remaining approachable to many different price points and demographics,” says founder and CMO Madeline Linder.
“We love what we do. Whether that’s gathering our agents for a full day of education, or hosting an awesome St Patrick’s Day party at our RiNo office for clients, we just love getting cool people together.”
Innovation with intention
West + Main doesn’t chase technology for its own sake.
Rylie Staub Brooks, Chief Operating Officer, describes the company’s approach as remaining curious while actively exploring new tools, tech, and strategies, while never losing sight of the relationship-driven, people-first practices that built the business.
“We are in a constantly evolving world, and we aim to stay curious about new tools, tech, and strategies that can provide the best experience for our agents and their clients,” Staub Brooks says.
West + Main Homes was founded in Colorado and now serves residential and commercial clients in Colorado, Oklahoma, Oregon, Minnesota and North Carolina.
