About Chris

Chris Holthouser is not your average real estate broker — he’s a multidisciplinary expert with deep experience across real estate, construction, and design. As the founder of The Loft Group, Chris specializes in luxury listings, investment properties, and historic homes across Boulder, Longmont, Fort Collins, and Northern Colorado. He brings a rare combination of credentials to the table: a licensed real estate broker, licensed general contractor, licensed landscape architect, and LEED Accredited Professional — all working to your advantage.

 

With professional designations as a Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) and Buyer Representative Specialist (BRS), Chris is equipped to advocate at the highest level for both sellers and buyers. His clients benefit from skilled negotiation, strategic pricing, and comprehensive guidance through every phase of the transaction.

 

But what truly sets Chris apart is his investment background. Having successfully flipped homes, renovated properties, and managed long-term buy-and-hold real estate, he understands the numbers as well as the narrative — helping clients not only buy or sell, but build wealth through smart real estate decisions.

 

As a licensed general contractor and landscape architect specializing in high-end residential design, Chris offers a unique eye for value-add opportunities. Whether it’s preparing a luxury home for market, evaluating the rehab potential of a fixer-upper, or advising on pre-listing improvements that generate maximum ROI, Chris knows how to turn vision into value.
