Michelle Glass is a prominent Denver-based Commercial Real Estate Broker specializing in multifamily investment properties, with additional expertise in office and retail assets across the Colorado Front Range. Over the past 15 years, Michelle has closed more than $500 million in real estate transactions, representing private investors, owner-operators, developers, and institutional buyers in complex acquisitions and dispositions.
Michelle’s practice is commercial-first and investment-driven, with a core focus on multifamily apartment buildings—from small balance properties to large portfolio and bulk sales. She advises clients on pricing strategy, underwriting, value-add execution, portfolio optimization, and transaction structuring, including distressed assets, lender-involved sales, and time-sensitive dispositions. Her work consistently centers on maximizing value while minimizing friction throughout the transaction process.
With over 15 years of experience in the multifamily industry, Michelle has worked with both national and local REITs and brings an owner’s mindset to every deal. She understands multifamily assets not just as real estate, but as operating businesses—an approach that allows her to guide clients through market cycles, rent growth challenges, expense pressures, capital markets shifts, and long-term hold vs. exit decisions with clarity and precision.
Multifamily Expertise & Market Focus
Michelle specializes in the sale of multifamily properties throughout the Denver Metro Area, including Aurora, North Denver, Central Denver neighborhoods, the Mountain communities, Colorado Springs, and the broader Colorado Front Range. Her transaction experience spans stabilized assets, value-add opportunities, redevelopment plays, adaptive reuse projects, and multi-property portfolio transactions.
In addition to multifamily, Michelle selectively represents office and neighborhood retail assets that align with investor demand, repositioning strategies, or mixed-use opportunities. She regularly assists investors with 1031 exchanges nationwide, coordinating replacement property strategies across all 50 states and working closely with tax advisors, lenders, and legal counsel to ensure seamless execution.
Michelle is widely known for her deep buyer relationships and direct investor access. She maintains one of the largest broker-owned investor databases in Colorado, enabling her to connect sellers directly with qualified, motivated buyers and create competitive tension—often beforeoring transactions before assets reach the open market.
Strategic Marketing & Advisory Approach
Michelle is recognized as an innovator in commercial and multifamily marketing, combining institutional-level strategy with modern execution. Her campaigns integrate proprietary investor outreach, targeted email and text marketing, direct buyer sourcing, video marketing, digital advertising, and strategic off-market exposure—customized to each asset, submarket, and market cycle.
Whether representing a single multifamily asset or a multi-property portfolio, Michelle’s objective is not simply to sell—but to execute the optimal transaction based on market timing, capital constraints, tax strategy, and investor objectives. Her advisory approach has made her a long-term partner to clients seeking to scale portfolios, reposition assets, resolve distressed situations, or exit strategically.
