About Gretchen Faber

Gretchen Faber’s experience selling real estate began early in 1996 with a small local brokerage.  In 1998 she moved to Moore Premier Properties and that same year, with the sale and closing of the Moore office, became a founding Broker Associate at the Kentwood Company’s Cherry Creek office. Now the Managing Broker at the same office, Gretchen manages 60 Brokers, sells real estate, writes the blog LifeStyleDenver.com and enjoys her family in the extra minutes of the day.

Born in Ohio and raised in California, Gretchen moved to Denver in 1982 to attend the University of Denver, after living in Hamburg, Germany for 1 year.  Armed with a Bachelor’s degree in Public Affairs and International Studies, she graduated in 1986 and embarked on a varied marketing career.  In 1989, after earning a MBA in Marketing Gretchen reentered the workforce and worked in several areas of marketing and advertising.  Including ownership of a small, local advertising agency.

Gretchen specializes in relocations both into and out of Colorado – which has contributed to a knowledge of the entire metro area and not just a “farm”.  Other areas of specialty are international real estate, foreign national clients, central Denver neighborhoods, and new construction.
