Buyers Advantage Real Estate is my professional creation. Years of experience taught me that buyers and sellers need special representation and a REALTOR® of their own they can trust, so I decided to develop my own business as an Exclusive Buyer Agent brokerage. I’ve been in business in Denver for many years, first in property management and then as a broker associate in a large real estate firm before I established my own business. I’m a member of the  

• Denver Board of REALTORS®,
• Colorado Association of REALTORS®,
• National Association of REALTORS®,
• National Association of Exclusive Buyers Agents (NAEBA)
• I hold the e-Pro designation issued only to 1% of all real estate agents in the U.S.  

I work with a virtual team. 

Markelle Harden in Arizona is my Online Transaction Coordinator.  She uses Settlement Room to help clients through the final process of final loan approval, appraisal, home inspection, and a host of other details that must be attended to.

Lynn Payge Hoppe maintains my website from Texas.  Ed Robisheaux in Virginia helps to maintain my position on the internet.  Sarah Reiter of Creative Agent Solutions helps with web search engine optimzation.

Well, that’s it – that’s me. Can I help you better than any other REALTOR® in the Denver area? I think so! That’s my job and my passion, it’s what gives me satisfaction.

Only an Exclusive Buyer Agent (often called an Exclusive Buyer's Broker) can GUARANTEE to represent you in your home purchase. Only an EBA can GUARANTEE to negotiate on your behalf.

An EBA provides the true facts as to value, market/neighborhood conditions, and obvious physical defects. The high level of negotiation training and expertise of an EBA truly levels the playing when it is time to make an offer on a property.

Because an EBA only represents buyers and does not have in-house or company listings, a seller is always unaware of the price buyers are willing to spend during the negotiation process, bringing the advantage back to the buyer and the buyer's wallet. For this reason alone, it is very common to save thousands of dollars during the critical negotiation process.

An EBA will insist that the buyer utilize a qualified home inspector who will treat the buyer as their client, and not as a customer.

Listing agents (the ones with the sign in the front yard) and the company that they work for represent the SELLER, not the buyer. Their job is to get the SELLER the highest price on the best terms.

An EBA`s job is to get the BUYER the lowest price on the best terms.

EBAs will do a better job for people who are relocating than anyone else. They will give you the facts, good and bad. A listing agent cannot tell you about many things that would be detrimental for the BUYER because they work for the SELLER.

An EBA will help you with your financing alternatives. They may advise you to be pre-approved by a lender. Why? Because a fully approved loan makes you a cash buyer. EBA's have a legal and ethical obligation to put your interests first!

It just makes sense!

 I love helping clients find their new home and facilitating their move. See what some of my clients say about working with me. Of course, I have more clients than show up here, but you have to put a limit on it somewhere!    --Judith Clausen 

Judith was an ideal agent for a first-time homebuyer like me. She was very reassuring and created a comfortable atmosphere for a very intimidating process. She was patient with my many questions and safeguarded my interests from start to finish.  Thank you!

Thank you so much for your help! We could never, ever have done it without your guidance and

excellent advice.  (Heather at closing:  "You were perfect!"

We were first-time homebuyers and didn't know much about the process.  It was very valuable to have someone on our team who knew the system so well and negotiated so effectively. Hiring a Buyer's Agent was a good decision and Judith did a great job!

Judith is a great listener and has become a very good friend! She is one cool "gen-xer! Enthusastically recommend.
Barby and Adam T., Ken Caryl Ranch

As first-time bomebuyers Judith made us feel comfortable. She provided info and support while allowing us to make our own decisions. She is very easy to work with. We are very happy!!  --Brian and Heather P., Englewood

One of the first points of her significant help was very early on when I had obtained a prequalification with one loan agency, Judith convinced me to at least try one other to have a comparison. This action not only gave us a better rate, but it brought to light some incorrect information on our credit report that we were able to correct in time for the loan.

The hard work, great service and personal attention that Judith showed us in the looking process gave me enough confidence to sign a contract on a house without seeing it for myself. She knew our budget and pushed hard to find something within that range. As the hunting process turned long and looked dim, she was still very honest with every house that she viewed for us, even when I was excited about something that I had viewed on the internet and she new from our lengthy conversations and one brief meeting what to warn me about so that I would have a clear understanding of the complete package.

When Judith finally found the perfect house for our family, in the price range that we were looking for, she wasted no time helping us through the contracting procedures. This was the second house that my husband and I had purchased during our marriage. The first purchase was made when we were younger and it was very uncomplicated. That is why the obstacles that we encountered on this purchase came as a shock and stress factor at almost every turn. Judith was there to help us through all of it. We appreciated Judith's experienced advice and support through the entire month of our roller coaster contract. She helped us deal with problems that included our seller threatening to back out at every turn, handling completely unforeseen issues that came up at our inspection and getting us through many paperwork delays on our closing. We literally did not know if we would still be able to purchase the house 10 minutes past the start time of our closing appointment.

I would recommend Judith for any buyer in any special situation.  --Christina T., Northglenn  

You are a "real person" who helped us buy a house. You honestly looked out for us and patiently helped us find the right house. No pressure. You made our experience of buying a house from an outside state a pleasure.--Glenn and Sarita B., Aurora I was very impressed (and sometimes surprised) at how quickly you responded to my e-mails and how quickly you answered my questions. In fact, it was your quick response to my initial inquiry that led me to select you in the first place. I had sent out several requests for information while I was in Kazakhstan, but yours was the first (and more thorough) response. I was impressed with your knowledge of the areas and your objectivity as we were looking. I was very grateful for the connection to the lender and the creative financing that she was able to come up with. I also liked all the information that you emailed to me while I was out of country. You always seemed to be available. And, I don’t know how accurate, but I got the impression that we working more off mutual trust rather than the formal buyer’s agreement. I liked that. I would definitely recommend you to someone.  One criticism was that initially when I had listed our requirements, I received a lot of stuff that didn’t seem to meet what we were looking for. Having said that, however, our requirements were often pretty specific, and they varied quite a bit as time progressed and we learned more.  --Randy H., Denver  

We appreciated your services and enthusiasm, your overall knowledge of real estate in the Denver area and walking with us through the home buying process -- financing, inspections, builder meetings, etc. We love our home! --Linda and Merritt W., Denver  Buyer's Advantage Realty lives up to its name. The buyer has a strong advantage with Judith as the realtor. She treated us as important members of a team. She stands behind what she says. She talks with us frequently and keeps us informed. She combines the best qualities of a realtor - knowledge, experience, integrity and a good sense of humor. With Judith on your side, the entire realty experience becomes the team effort it should be.  --A.B. C., Denver 

Thank you for helping us with all the details of buying a newly built home. Luckily, we took your advice in hiring our own inspector. He saved us thousands! We are so thankful that we had you to represent us, not the builder. We LOVE our new home.  --Tim and Katrina M., Golden 

I can't thank you enough for finding my home for me while I was in Minnesota. Your follow-through with having the sellers do repairs and include the appliances, as well as giving me phone contacts to get insurance, were all things that were in addition to finding the right home. Your ability to take care of the closing without my presence saved me from having to fly from Minnesota to Colorado many times. You are a miracle worker!  --Connie C., Littleton 

We enjoyed the personal touch you brought to the whole experience, from historical facts about Denver to your insights about its neighborhoods. Thanks again for helping us find a new home! The best thing about your service was the interest you showed in us personally. During our trips to Denver we both felt like we were traveling not just with a realtor but a friend. We also appreciated the additional services you provided (website links, loan companies, service professionals, etc.) -- Brian S. & Scot O. 

Thanks for strongly recommending the buyers warranty! Because of the warranty we were able to get a brand new refrigerator for only $100! We’re going to put your name on it!!!  --Sue E. & Nancy K., Thornton 

It's kind of funny when you think how mad I was with Shaun for setting up the first appointment with you since we were technically working with someone else. Boy am I ever glad we went with you instead!  -- Lynn M. and Shaun B., Aurora 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for all your help with the house! --Jan and Rob F., Aurora 

Thank you for the good job you did for us. We like our new home very much. --Dahlia and Art F., Highlands Ranch 

We appreciate all the hard work you did to find us a handicap-accessible home. Not every Realtor can find just the right home for clients living in another part of the world without their ever having seen it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! We love it!
--Don & Sharon R., Denver 

Your service made the tough process of moving from the east coast to Colorado much easier. You made sure that every detail was seen to and the entire process went as smoothly as possible.  --Tracy and Renee B., Aurora 

Judith went out of her way to protect my interests as a buyer, and settled many differences with the sellers for me. She took a lot of stress out of the buying process.  --Judy B., Golden  

I was a first-time buyer. My experience with Judith was a blessing. I was in a difficult situation after an accident -- sore, angry, with a broken foot, and to boot needed a place to live within a month. I needed a Judith, and a Judith I got. Judith not only picked me up, but also chauffeured me wherever we needed to go. She educated me not only on the reality of buying, good and bad, but also on my potential in what I could achieve in owning my own home. She made sure I understood each situation, and the potential pitfalls of any place we looked at. When you are a first-time buyer (newbie) there are so many things one does not think of. We set a time frame. We closed just 20 days after my accident. She even picked me up for that!  I got the very best deal one could get -- she made sure of it. Yes, she stood by her word! I now own a 2 bedroom, very nice condo. When my payments are made they are working toward my security and peace of mind -- a place of my own. Thank you, Judith!  --Trude F. Denver  

You were a great guide as I pursued buying my first home. You made it rather painless. You were easy to reach and you gave clear opinions. You found out what you didn't know. And you were sensitive about my perception of value for money  --Joe W., Denver 

There’s no way we can thank you enough for all you’ve done. Your kindness, patience, and thoughtfulness will always be remembered as the best part of our new venture. Thank you so much!  --Kathy A. & Sheri P., Denver (and L.A.)
