The Noise You Don’t Hear During a Showing (But You’ll Hear at 9pm)

If you’ve bought a few homes, you already know this: a showing is often the quietest a house will ever be. Midday. Doors closing softly. Nobody cooking next door. No one backing out of the driveway. No upstairs footsteps. It can feel peaceful in a way that’s almost too perfect.But the sound you live with isn’t the sound you tour with. The real test shows up after dinner—when neighbors are home, t

A Strategic Relocation Checklist for the Colorado Front Range

Relocating to the Colorado Front Range isn’t just about where you land—it’s about how your days will actually feel once the move is done. The biggest regrets I hear from people who moved here aren’t about price or timing. They’re about daily friction: too much driving, stairs they didn’t think would matter, weather routines they underestimated, or choosing a location that looked great on a map bu

Future-Proofing Your Move: Ranch vs. Two-Story Homes on the Front Range

If you’ve lived on the Front Range for any length of time, you know this isn’t just a floorplan debate. Colorado weather, daily routines, and how a home actually feels to live in tend to expose small design choices pretty quickly. A ranch can feel like a deep exhale. A two-story can feel like extra space—until it starts feeling like extra friction. The goal here isn’t to push one style over the o

How to Choose the Right Home Style in Colorado (A Practical Decision Guide)

Most people think choosing a home style is about preference. Ranch or condo. Detached or shared walls. Big yard or none at all. But in Colorado, the people who end up happiest in their homes usually didn’t decide that way. They narrowed their choices based on how they actually live—and what they don’t want to deal with anymore.This guide isn’t about ranking home styles or pushing you toward a par

What “Low-Maintenance Living” Actually Means in Colorado (And What It Doesn’t)

“Low-maintenance” is one of those phrases that sounds reassuring until you live with it for a full year in Colorado. You see it in listing descriptions, community brochures, and casual conversations with friends, usually paired with words like easy, simple, or carefree. But once you’ve dealt with your first snowstorm, spring hail, or surprise exterior repair, you realize the phrase means very dif

Working with Beverly and Tahverle was a wonderful experience. In this industry, we’re often partnered with agents who aren’t up to the task — but that was certainly not the case here. They were professional, communicative, and ensured a clear, seamless transaction from start to finish. As an agent on the other side of the table, I would be happy to work with these two again in the future. - Angela Kemper

We are so thankful for Brian and his team! This is our first time buying a home and Kenna Real Estate made the process extremely easy! We highly recommend and will definitely use them again if we move!

The truth about sales is that people buy from people. People you trust, people you bond with, people you like. There are no finer people than the team of Tahverle and Beverly. They worked hard to prepare and sell our home in a very difficult buyers market, against very stiff competition in the market, including 3 homes homes on our own block. Tahverly and Beverly got our home sold first and found us a great new home across town that we love. They are an excellent team with tons of knowledge and experience to make things easy for clients.
