URBAN THRIVE HISTORY
The founders of UrbanThrive Real Estate identified an overwhelming need for Realtors who are focused on the city of Denver and the surrounding urban neighborhoods. To that end, UrbanThrive Real Estate was created out of necessity and desire. UrbanThrive was founded on a very simple principle - provide superior tools, attention and education to help buyers, sellers, and investors achieve their real estate goals. We believe community is important. Deeper than that, we believe close knit communities, such as communities that develop in urban neighborhoods are extremely important as they become the bedrock for new relationships, friendships, businesses, churches, art, politics and culture.
