  • Ginger is a super realtor. She is very knowledgeable in both owner occupied and rental properties. She is always accommodating to our needs and is there for us when we need her. Thank you Ginger for all you do!
    Denise Morgante
    We first met Ginger Matney several years ago. Although we were not ready to purchase real estate at that time, we were very impressed with Ginger’s knowledge and her commitment to her clients. Once we decided we were ready for a larger investment, Ginger was an excellent guide for us. Through the entire process she was honest, open, and sincere. We have never had someone so attentive! Her guidance and advice in regards to our real estate purchases is unmatched.
    Cari Lewton and Trevor McManus
    Melani and Ginger were recommended to us by a friend, and we have not regretted this decision to retain them as our realtors. We placed our home on the market just as interest rates started to go up and the housing market started to cool. Melani and Ginger were tireless in their efforts to keep our house on the front burner, they provided excellent advice and when things did not happen as fast as we would have liked, they were right there with sound encouragement. We would recommend Melani, Ginger, and their team at Elevate Real Estate for anyone’s real…

  • If you are looking for someone who will have your back through the process Melani is someone who will. She is diligent, thoughtful, and cares immensely. She is also a great teacher of the process. I am so glad I had her in my corner.

    Purchasing our first investment property with Ginger was a wonderful experience. She was there to explain everything along the way and her knowledge/advice is nothing short of priceless. We look forward to working with her for all of our investment needs.
    Xavier & Laura Pfister
    Hiring Ginger as my realtor was one of the best decisions I have made. I needed to find “the perfect house” in a short period of time. She worked very hard to make that happen for me and believe me, that was no easy task. I’m very particular, and not always easy to work with. But Ginger really listened to my needs and wants, and showed me only those houses that met my criteria. She was always available and flexible. Ginger was great at answering any questions, or calming any concerns I had. She always returned my phone calls promptly…

  • Elevate Real Estate did a great job in analyzing the market potential for our property and then selling it. It sold within 1% of where they told us it would sell, which is certainly very accurate. They also gave us lots of advice on repairs and upgrades that were needed, and how to stage it for showings. It was a very pleasant and successful experience, with the desired outcome. We would highly recommend them for all your Real Estate needs.
    Bob Child
    Ginger and her team were so amazing to work with! They were knowledgeable, patient, understanding and always made time for us. I would highly recommend them when it comes time to buy a house!

    Ginger has helped us purchase 2 homes in the area. She is a very knowledgeable person in both income property and residential (owner occupied). Ginger’s expertise in these area’s has helped us purchase homes in good areas around Denver. We recommend her professionalism in all aspects of buying a home.
    Jim & Denise Morgante
  • “We interviewed four realtors recommended to us by our neighbors and friends and selected Elevate Real Estate. We were impressed with their innovative marketing and business practices other realtors didn’t;t seem to have. We knew we could rely on and trust the team at Elevate Real Estate to sell our home and they proved that to us from the day our “For Sale” sign went up until the we closed our home!”

    Ginger was very helpful to me selling my home (in a very tough market.) She gave great advice on what to fix and what to “let go.” There was very little stress i the preparation and very little during the negotiations. All went very smoothly. She keeps her promises!!
    Judy Mayne
    Ginger is a fabulous REALTOR. She knows the market very well, and I was impressed by her knowledge about marketing real estate. It was a pleasure working with Ginger and I would highly recommend her to anyone I know looking to buy or sell real estate. Ginger, thanks for the wonderful experience in selling my home.
    Stephen Geyer
  • As first time home buyers, we were lost on where to even start. Luckily, we were recommended to Elevate! The amount of knowledge about the local market they possess is outstanding. Not to mention their ability to be easily reached and their communication is outstanding! I honestly tell everyone I know that if they are selling/buying that they have to use Ginger! They made the process to easy and simple!
    Emily Graves and Kevin McFall
    We had a great experience with Elevate Real Estate while buying our home. Penni and Ginger were both knowledgeable and attentive. Everything went without a hitch. We would highly recommend them!
    Cara and George Bernath
    “Melani helped me and my husband find our forever home. She worked so much for us and helped us with everything we needed. With this crazy housing market, where everything is all about appraisal gaps, over listing prices and cash offers, she worked for our benefit to have us close for what the appraisal prices was, without any appraisal gaps! My husband and I have found our forever realtor in Melani, at least for as long as we live in Colorado.”
    Blaise and Eric Burley
  • We have known and worked with Ginger and her team for over 10 years. Ginger, Brittany, and Penni are awesome. They’ve helped me buy and sell houses 7 times and always with professionalism and patience and always good advice. My trust factor in them is really high. They’ve also helped me with their property management service- as an absentee landlord, they have really made my life easier. I highly recommend Elevate Real Estate home buyers and investors alike!
    Todd Larson
    Great people to work with. Took care of everything.
    Patty Carpenter
    Ginger and Elevate Real Estate were fabulous to work with in selling my townhome. Ginger or someone on the team were always available to answer all of my questions. Ginger was always thinking in my best interest and talked me through all options for every decision I had to make. Even though I had to move across the country to my new job before my home sold, Ginger cared for it like it was her own. Selling my home through Ginger and Elevate Real Estate was relatively stress free.
    Colette Charbonneau
  • Ginger is a wonderful person to work with. She always puts your thoughts/concerns first. We have used her on both of our house purchases/sales and will continue to use her!
    Jesse & Dominic Spencer
    I already talked with your HVAC guy and will be using him on our current flip. You saved me $1,300 by using him. A BIG thank you to to you!!! You have also given me that rental cd in the past. I have used that many times for my rental properties!!!! You’re the best. Most people keep their knowledge close to them and protect it. You on the other hand are not afraid to share it to help others become more knowledgeable, save them time and MONEY too!
    Cathy Hasse
    I can sincerely say, I would not be sitting in my house today if it wasn’t for Ginger. She worked tirelessly with us, on evenings and weekends to get us into our dream home. She understood what was most important to us in our house goals and delivered on every single aspect. We are forever grateful for Ginger and her team. We could not be happier in the beautiful home we purchased.

    Jesse and Michele Zuniga
    Ginger and her Team at Elevate Real Estate are hands down the best in the Denver Metro. We have bought and sold with them twice now with absolutely no problems. They are quick to communicate and make sure you have a stress free experience. These guys Rock!
    Kyle and Alyssa Koele
    Melani went above and beyond all of our expectations. She answered my calls and text at all hours when something popped up on the market. She would get us in fast and offers out fast. She has a big heart, good intentions and great knowledge to help us through this process. We would recommend her for anyone who is buying in this market.
