I’m Kathy Staiano,
I’ve been a full-time professional real estate broker associate in the State of Colorado for over twenty-five years. I would love to talk to you about your residential real estate needs.
I’ve worked in the luxury residential market, specializing in many unique metro Denver neighborhoods. I have developed a passion for keeping updated on all Denver neighborhoods, including Cherry Creek, Cherry Hills, Denver Country Club, Washington Park and Platt Park, and many more. Understanding the unique and innate qualities of all Denver subdivisions, as well as developing concrete knowledge of home design, has been my passion.
Additionally, I’ve been involved in the development of residential homes in metro Denver. Experiencing the process of home construction and design, emanating from a vacant lot, to then culminating in a beautifully completed home has greatly enhanced my real estate sales skills.
- Perhaps the most important element of becoming a professional residential broker associate is possessing knowledge of the real estate business. I’ve been fortunate to serve on local association educational boards and task force committees, as well as becoming a member of the Research Committee for the National Association of REALTORS. These activities have enhanced my approach to assisting my clients to find the perfect home for them and to provide knowledge of the neighborhoods and market conditions, all of which are key components of a home purchase.
I’ve dedicated a substantial amount of time to keeping pace with all the educational resources within the real estate industry. These efforts led to the achievement of the following certifications/designations:
- Certified Residential Specialist Designation (CRS);
- Electronic Real Estate Certified (e-Pro);
- Certified Commercial Investment Member Candidate (CCIM Cand.);
- Certified International Real Estate Specialist (I.R.E.S.);
- Transnational Referral Certified (TRC);
- NAR Certified, At Home With Diversity;
- Short Sale and Foreclosure Real Estate Specialist;
- Seniors Real Estate Specialist.
My Experience in the Residential Home Market:
When I began my career in the residential real estate industry I was eager to learn more about this exciting industry. How fortunate I was to be entering an industry whereby I could provide professional assistance to people so they could fulfill such an important dream in their lives:
Becoming a homeowner. Now, some 25 years later, I have never been more enthusiastic and eager to help people with an incredibly important decision that has such an impactful effect on a family and a person’s lifestyle and investment goals. My decision to work with the LIV Sotheby’s International Realty firm has proved to be a significant value-added benefit for my clients, and for me as a Realtor. LIV Sotheby’s International Realty is part of a large international real estate holding company that provides me with the real estate industry’s most impressive marketing tools. These tools directly benefit my clients in a very positive way. They help produce the results my clients expect. However, high-level marketing tools are still not enough to professionally serve the wants and needs of my clients. Experience and knowledge of the local real estate market is the benchmark of a highly professional real estate agent. I have worked very hard through the years to gain this important knowledge. Those efforts, coupled with my strong commitment to providing my clients with superior personal services, have given me the gift of business success within my industry, and most importantly, benefited my clients. Please contact me with any real estate questions or needs you might have and I will be pleased to assist you with your needs. Together we can make the process of purchasing a home an exciting and fulfilling experience.
Thanks for taking the time to review this brief description of my approach to real estate sales. I look forward to assisting you with your next property transaction.
Sincerely,
Kathy Staiano
I’m Jeff Bernard:
I’ve been fortunate to be intimately involved in the real estate industry for nearly 30 years. I began my career as a real estate financial analyst, which is a skill set that has benefited many of my clients throughout the years.
As my career progressed I embarked on a new journey and entered the commercial and residential real estate marketing and sales industry.
My next career evolution propelled me into the residential real estate development business. In my view, there is no better way to understand the building and financial components of a home purchase than living through the process from the beginning to the end. The learning curve is extensive, but perhaps the most advantageous skill I can provide to my clients.
As time passed I felt it was time to give back to my industry. That decision resulted in my election to the Denver Board of REALTORS® and later led to being elected as the President of the Denver Board of REALTORS®. I occupied positions as Director of the Colorado Board of REALTORS® and then advanced to become an Executive Director of the National Association of REALTORS®.
In 2007 I was humbled by being the recipient of the REALTOR® of the Year award, bestowed to me by the Denver Board of REALTORS®. This award was a surprise and an honor.
I strongly feel that anyone who purchases real estate deserves to work with a REALTOR® who is dedicated to building ongoing knowledge about the real estate industry. Thus I pursued a significant number of certifications, which were the culmination of several hours, days, and months of continuing education. Some of those certifications/designations are as follows:
Certified Residential Specialist Designation (CRS);
- Certified DRS Agent Network
- Electronic Real Estate Certified (e-Pro);
- Certified Commercial Investment Member Candidate (CCIM Cand.);
- Certified International Real Estate Specialist (I.R.E.S.);
- Transnational Referral Certified (TRC);
- NAR Certified, At Home With Diversity;
- Alumni, The Metro Denver Transit Alliance Citizen’s Academy.
I want to thank the hundreds of clients that have worked with me over the years, and I look forward to working with them in the future, as well as the numerous new friends and clients I will meet in the future.
I’m also a Certified DRS Agent, a certification that is specific to significant work I’ve done with physicians. This is a rare certification that is not held by many Realtors.
Luxury Homes:
Through the years I have enjoyed watching the changes in home designs, both on the interior and exterior of the properties. I have even had the opportunity to develop some new and existing homes. Throughout this process, I learned a great deal about materials that make a home beautiful and functional. I’ve been fortunate to have sold many homes that could be classified as luxury properties, and throughout this process, I have learned a great deal about the nuances and requirements to successfully market a luxury property.
The LIV Sotheby’s International Realty name is well established throughout the metropolitan Denver community as a luxury home marketing company. All homes, large and small, are equal in the company’s commitment to providing professional service. However, after driving through any luxury home community in metropolitan Denver, Colorado, it will become evident that our company’s unique marketing tools, and a large network of successful agents, have enjoyed tremendous success in professionally marketing Denver’s luxury properties. I’m eager to help you with your real estate needs. Call me today and let me help you experience the results you expect from a professional home sales expert.
Jeff Bernard










Kathy and Jeff provided me with the professional real estate services that I hoped to receive when we started this process. I am pleased to write a testimonial in favor of their professional services.
The process of selling our home under the most difficult conditions during the COVID-19 outbreak was troubling and concerning to both me and my wife. Kathy took charge of the sale in a very professional manner and made it a seamless process.
