Jacob Stark is a South Denver Metro REALTOR® with Orchard who helps families who've outgrown their home buy the next one and sell the current one without the double-move stress.
Most homeowners who've outgrown their house already know they need to move. What keeps them stuck is everything that has to happen first: which repairs matter, what they'll cost, and how to sell one home while buying the next.
Jacob Stark is a REALTOR® with Orchard serving Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, and the South Denver Metro. He specializes in families who've outgrown their home and need to buy the next one and sell the current one without two moves, two mortgages, or living through showings. A real estate investor since 2015, Jacob knows what a home is worth as-is and which pre-listing fixes pay for themselves. He's a certified Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), RealTrends Verified in the top 1.5% of U.S. agents, and a multi-year DMAR Excellence Award winner.
I got into real estate because I watched too many families make one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives without a real guide in their corner. Generic advice, vague timelines, pressure to decide fast. That didn't sit right.
Before I became a REALTOR®, I was a marketer, and I've been a real estate investor since 2015. Buying, fixing, and selling my own properties taught me what a home is worth as-is, which repairs actually pay for themselves, and what it feels like to be on the other side of the table — and I decided that if I was going to do this job, I was going to do it differently. Every decision backed by real data, every update delivered clearly, and every client treated like someone whose future actually matters.
I specialize in the South Denver Metro — Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Englewood, Parker, Lakewood, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, and Greenwood Village. I know these neighborhoods at the HOA level, the street level, and the comps level, from Woodmar Village, Stony Creek, and Dutch Ridge to Lexington Village, Ridgeview Hills South, Nob Hill, and Hidden River. That specificity matters when you're making a $600K+ decision.
Most of the people I work with are move-up families who've outgrown their home. Whether that's you, a seller trying to maximize your net, or an investor running deal numbers — you'll get the same thing from me: honest context, a clear strategy, and someone who actually picks up the phone.
Every move-up comes down to one question: buy first or sell first? I help you pick the order that fits your equity, your loan, and your timeline, then build the rest of the plan around it.
Secure the next home while you still live in the current one. You make a strong offer, move once, and the old house goes on the market empty and staged, so you're not living through showings.
How to buy before you sell →If buying first would stretch you too thin, we sell first and plan the timing around your next purchase. You'll know exactly what you have to work with, and you won't carry two mortgages.
