Testimonials

If someone was to tell me a year ago that I would be writing a glowing testimonial about a Realtor, I would have not believed it. Like many transactional attorneys, I was afflicted with this false sense that I knew more about buying a property than any real estate professional. Having bought and sold a few houses during a boom market only fed this delusion. It took an incredibly complex real estate deal and meeting Jason Pavlovic to teach me the error of my ways and the benefits of engaging a top-notch Realtor.

I am the President of a nonprofit corporation called the Denver Children's Advocacy Center. The Center provides treatment and assessment services to child victims of physical and sexual abuse. After ten years of operation, demand for our services unfortunately had grown to a point that our small rented duplex was no longer large enough to serve our needs. With a capital-restricted seed grant from a local oil and gas company, it was suddenly conceivable that we could explore buying our own facility. However it was clear from the outset that there were few properties on the market that met our needs. One of the core tenets of the Center is to provide our services to children in an accessible warm home-like environment. Consequently, we focused our attention sole on attractive houses that could be converted into an office and counseling center. This meant finding a place near downtown, accessible to mass transit, with sufficient on-site parking, large enough to accommodate our anticipated growth and either zoned for business use or a likely candidate for rezoning to business use.

Various Realtors recommended by an assortment of contacts of the Center expressed initial interest but either called with properties that clearly did not meet our criteria or simply did not call back. Finally someone told me I should call Jason Pavlovic. Not only was Jason undaunted by our unusual requirements, he told us that he preferred challenging deals. He asked many more questions about our operational needs than any other Realtor. He then immersed himself in the search. Within a week he had found a property near Colfax Avenue that was perfect for our needs except the lack of adequate parking and a potential zoning issue. There was an adjacent lot that was owned by another business that was benefiting from some valuable contractual easements on the property we were interested in. Sensing there was some possible negotiating leverage, Jason helped us prepare a contract that was conditional on us obtaining such parking rights and resolving the zoning issue. Jason was very conversant with land use restrictions and brought that expertise to bear in our conversations with the City. He also attended meetings with both the current owner and the owner of the adjacent property as we searched for a solution to the parking problem. Once that search proved to be in vain, Jason painlessly and diplomatically helped us extricate ourselves from that deal.

At this point, we certainly would not have blamed Jason if he decided to abandon us so he could spend time with some more lucrative easy-to-please clients. Jason frotunately stuck with us and soon after was arranging a tour of the facility we would ultimately purchase. The property needed to be rezoned from residential to business. Further the seller and his Realtor had some remarkably strange notions when it came to acceptable contract terms. At a point where the rest of us were pulling our hair out with frustration, Jason skillfully navigated both sides toward a mutually acceptable compromise. He then settled in in to wait for us to obtain a rezoning. He was not idle during this time. He advised me on zoning issues, he arranged a meeting with an architect and contractor to discuss renovation possibilities, he helped us show the property to prospective capital campaign donors and advised us with respect to survey and inspection issues. During this time yet another advantage of having Jason on the team manifested itself. The Center was active pursuing the possibility of having some home builders donate their services in renovating the facility. We arranged with Jason to show us and the home builders the property. As it turns out, the primary homebuilding contact not only knew Jason-- he was clearly a big fan based on some past experiences. Our credibility with the home-builders skyrocketed and they agreed to help us with the renovations.

I apologize for the fact that this letter has become a lengthy narrative but writing a testimonial replete with adjectives like " committed", "resourceful" and "skilled" hardly seem adequate to explain what make Jason such a unique Realtor. I would refer him to anyone without reservation and while I hope not to get caught up in another complex real estate deal for awhile, there is no one else I would want in my corner if I should. If anyone would like to discuss Jason's attributes in greater detail, please do not hesitate to contact me.
