Darren and Bonnie
Howdy!
We feel blessed that you are taking your time to visit our website. We want you to know that we’re the right real estate team FOR YOU. Get to know us a little better, and we look forward to hearing from you!
Our team has been in the real estate business for many years. One of the unusual and interesting facts about our team is that 1 + 1 doesn’t equal 2.
So often when real estate agents join as a team each agent may have similar experience and expertise, but that is not the case with Darren and Bonnie. Our experiences in real estate come from a totally different background.
Darren has been an expert in residential sales and began his career as a lender.
Bonnie has been one of the top house flippers in our community and is a general contractor as well as a real estate sales professional.
These unique backgrounds blend together to give us the skills that are necessary to offer so many unique services to our clients. From buying a dilapidated house for cash and helping sellers liquidate problem properties, to selling your house using the most advanced marketing techniques, we have a solution to make your real estate dreams a reality.
We love challenges and thrive in a competitive market. We help our sellers stage their houses, use Matterport virtual tours, and set up individual websites to attract buyers. We help our buyers by using the best financing options that suit their situation and we write the most attractive offer to a seller to get your offer accepted.
We love that we can “bounce ideas and challenges” off each other and that our clients benefit from a combined effort of two very experienced real estate professionals. Take a look at our individual “about me” pages for specific info about our experience. We are a team of experts in real estate in the Colorado Springs area. We are looking forward to being of service. Contact us now to see how we can help you achieve your real estate goals.
We look forward to helping you with your “new beginning” in real estate.
We love to pour into the community we’re a part of, and that’s included in our business model. We are part of the Lions Club and enjoy the outreach they have. We donate to many organizations and want to help those in need.
What’s the deal with the logo?
Darren and Bonnie love to hike and visit the mountains, so mountains are part of our logo. Bonnie is from Florida and has always loved flamingos and the beautiful flowers that grow there, and you can see that influence in our logo.
The number 8 has a meaning of new beginnings.
That is our journey, new beginnings. Now our name.
To illumine is to bring light.
We bring light to the real estate process making sure our clients have a clear view of the process and the journey they will be on in real estate as they work with us. The number 8 and the significance of new beginnings in both referencing our new marriage and our new company.
Who benefits from our union? YOU do.
We have both lived in the Springs for decades and love our area and working with real estate in Colorado. We have brought the world of expert real estate sales and the best of house renovation and helping property owners out of trouble, together to serve you.
