Ryan Carter

00;00;06;09 - 00;00;07;02
Courtney Trembly
Thank you.
00;00;07;03 - 00;00;36;03
Ryan Carter
Super excited to connect today and learn a little bit more about your business. Talk real estate. Talk about the market. All the things you know, every time I have these conversations, I'm reminded what an incredible industry we work in. All the amazing things about it. I think to start, I do it just first love to hear about sort of, you know, what got you here today.
00;00;36;25 - 00;00;42;16
Ryan Carter
What was your world like before? Real estate? What drove you to real estate? Anything you want to share about that?
00;00;42;18 - 00;00;52;08
Courtney Trembly
Yeah. Well, thank you so much for having me here today. It's an honor and privilege to be a part of 8z. I love this company and just happy to be here.
00;00;52;08 - 00;00;52;20
Ryan Carter
Yeah.
00;00;53;00 - 00;01;22;24
Courtney Trembly
So, yeah, real estate has always been something that I wanted to do. I actually out of high school, I got my interior design degree. So I have a degree in interior design. And then I wanted to go into like staging homes. So I took several classes on like merchandizing and staging homes for sale. And I would work a lot with realtors and I always admired what they did and thought, okay, I'm going to do that someday.
00;01;23;22 - 00;01;43;17
Courtney Trembly
And then, you know, life happens. I started a family, got busy with my kids, and it just wasn't a good time. But I finally decided to do it and get my real estate license and go after being a realtor. And I love every minute of it. Yeah, it's been amazing.
00;01;43;20 - 00;02;04;17
Ryan Carter
Yeah. Good for you. Well, you know what an incredible skill set you can bring to your business with your design background, you know, staging and the merchandizing of home, super critical and the value add. You can bring to sellers. So I imagine you really are able to take that and bring it into your current business.
00;02;04;25 - 00;02;34;25
Courtney Trembly
Absolutely. Like for me, it's you know, it really is all about the details and, you know, just making a home shine. Yeah. Kind of creating that model home look and feel for a home that's on the market because I mean, model homes definitely sell. That's why builders have them out there. Yeah. So if we can create that feeling in someone's home, that's definitely, you know, successful and helping them sell it so quickly and quickly.
00;02;34;26 - 00;03;00;27
Ryan Carter
Yeah. And actually, you know, for real swings on what the market will bear. I mean, that skill set I think is one of the most valuable an agent can bring to a listing to bring to a seller. The concept, as you said, of merchandizing a home. You know, I've seen upwards of 5% swings in what the market will bear for a property that is fully dialed in and merchandised.
00;03;00;28 - 00;03;14;15
Courtney Trembly
Absolutely. It really does make a difference. And it makes it makes it stand out among the competition and when people lock in, you know, they just fall in love and they they want to live there. That's right. So that's what I love doing. Yeah. Yeah.
00;03;15;02 - 00;03;33;05
Ryan Carter
Well, you know, real estate is such a dynamic industry of lots of different components of it, you know, I guess I'll frame the question, you know, what do you love most about what you do about real estate being the industry?
00;03;34;01 - 00;03;56;14
Courtney Trembly
I think the first thing that came to my mind is the people I love, people whom I am, people oriented. And it's just for me, it's about the relationships that I make with people and being along this journey with them to help them find their first home or help them move up to a bigger home or buy an investment property.
00;03;56;23 - 00;04;06;06
Courtney Trembly
Like being able to just establish that relationship and trust with my clients is so important. And I just I love being a part of that process.
00;04;06;18 - 00;04;24;04
Ryan Carter
Yeah. I mean, it's so it's so impactful on me. Buying and selling a home is one of the most critical things you can do right in your life. I mean, it's oftentimes the biggest asset someone has. Yes. So you can really make an impact on people's lives. Yeah.
00;04;24;04 - 00;04;30;10
Courtney Trembly
And that's what I love to do for sure. It's about the people for me and the relationships. Yeah. So yeah.
00;04;30;20 - 00;04;50;18
Ryan Carter
And I, you know, I think being able to build a relationship with someone and really empathize and engage with them, particularly in a real estate transaction, is so important to have that feels to a, to someone, you know, it can be a highly emotional.
00;04;51;02 - 00;05;16;26
Courtney Trembly
And stressful and stressful. So just being there for them and really holding their hand through it and just being that trusted resource is, is invaluable. Yeah. And, and also just having fun along the way with your clients, you know, they're just like becoming their friend through the process. I think that's, you know, the most amazing thing and it gives me so much satisfaction.
00;05;16;27 - 00;05;41;28
Ryan Carter
Yeah, well, a huge bonus for your clients to be able to build a friendship with you because I know you. You're a ton of fun. You bring so much to the table. And that relationship pieces is just such a huge bonus for the people that get to get to work with you. Yeah. So I'd also love to hear a little bit about your your journey at Etsy or your experience at 8z.
00;05;41;28 - 00;05;58;01
Ryan Carter
I mean, you know, I'll just start by saying it's so great to have you as part of our 8z family, you bring so much to the table for your clients, bring so much to the table for your team. You make a real impact here on I know you do for your clients. So what is being with 8z been like for you?
00;05;58;23 - 00;06;24;28
Courtney Trembly
Honestly, it's been so amazing. Like, this company is unbelievable. The training we get through our teams. Like, it's just like it's like being a part of a family. Yeah. And to me, that is amazing, because you're not just left out there alone, you know, to do this business, you have so many people that you can lean on. We have an incredible marketing team.
00;06;25;06 - 00;06;54;17
Courtney Trembly
You're an amazing president that runs this company. I love my Parker/Castle Rock team, where anger is my managing broker. She has so much experience and just the advice she gives you because, you know, a lot of times there are some things that come along the way with real estate that you haven't navigated before through and just having that support of a team backing you up, it's like you're getting even more experience behind you.
00;06;54;18 - 00;07;16;03
Courtney Trembly
Yeah. And so I just I'm so blessed to be a part of this company because I don't feel like I'm just another number. I feel like I'm really a part of the 8z culture and the nation and a part of the family. And I wouldn't have it any other way. I wouldn't be able to do what I do successfully if it wasn't for a company like 8z behind me.
00;07;16;25 - 00;07;36;27
Ryan Carter
I love that big smile on my face. Listening to you talk about that and back at you. You know, you bring so much to the table here and it really is true. I mean, we are a unique company. We are unique organization. And particularly what you talked about in terms of the team support behind you, it's so unique.
00;07;36;27 - 00;07;58;14
Ryan Carter
It's like we operate as one big team and then this tighter support team at the office level and you show up to the table with your clients with a lot of transactional history and support and expertize behind you because of all the support you get at 8000 percent.
00;07;58;18 - 00;08;06;23
Courtney Trembly
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I'm so happy to be be here and go on this journey. We're all in it together. We're a team.
00;08;07;02 - 00;08;36;11
Ryan Carter
That's it. That's it. All right, so let's pivot a little bit and talk about the market. You know, I mean, I think by definition, you know, a market is dynamic. A market is always changing and is variable and is not static. You know, any thoughts around, you know, the current market we're in, perhaps what buyer or seller should think about in the market coming forward or just any general thoughts you want to share about the market?
00;08;36;24 - 00;09;01;15
Courtney Trembly
Yeah, I mean, I would I have definitely seen is I mean, there is still such a demand out there for buyers to get into homes here in Colorado. I mean, Colorado is just a fantastic place to live with, you know, our great outdoors and mountains and, you know, the great economy we have here, a job market. So I'm definitely seeing there's such a need for people.
00;09;01;22 - 00;09;29;07
Courtney Trembly
They're tired of renting. Yeah. They don't want to pay that high price and rent and they really want to get into a home. So there is a big demand. And homes homes are still selling. Oh, yeah, they are still selling. And you know, they're moving out there. It's you know, it's moving. So I'm just just being out there and making like four on the listing side, you know, making your listings stand out.
00;09;29;08 - 00;09;58;27
Courtney Trembly
Yeah. Pricing them. Right. Marketing them really well which we have an amazing marketing team that helps with that, but also, you know, marketing through social media, doing open houses. I mean, all of that makes a difference in putting your best foot forward when you're going on the market to sell. So yeah, yeah. And then just being, you know, being hustling out there to get your, your clients, your buyers and their contract.
00;09;59;06 - 00;10;08;12
Courtney Trembly
It can be a little bit competitive right now. Yeah, depending on the price range. But, but you know, we're out there doing it and we can make it happen for sure.
00;10;08;18 - 00;10;36;28
Ryan Carter
Yeah, no doubt. I mean, you you articulated it well. I mean, demand is high even with the interest rate environment. Like you said, in-migration to Colorado is there's no shortness of that because of the quality of life here. So I certainly predict as well that that will continue. Demand will remain strong, you know, inventory remains tight, which could create some of that competition on the buy side.
00;10;36;28 - 00;10;47;23
Ryan Carter
But with your negotiating skills, no doubt that you can crush it for your buyer clients and then for sellers. You bring so much to the table with marketing. You make, you know, you can really make an impact.
00;10;47;23 - 00;11;12;18
Courtney Trembly
Yeah. And I think I have to seem like I think it's important like going back to the relationships is obviously you want to have a good relationship with your client, but also having a good relationship with the agent that's on the other side of of the deal that you're working on for your client, like having that open communication with them from day one makes a big difference, especially if it's in a competitive environment.
00;11;12;26 - 00;11;33;17
Courtney Trembly
You're trying to win the deal. Hey, is that agent likes you and you guys totally vibe they're going to be more willing to pick your offer over another agent. So I think just having that that good just rapport and relationship with the other agents that are out there doing this as well is a big difference, no doubt. So.
00;11;33;25 - 00;11;34;12
Ryan Carter
You know.
00;11;34;12 - 00;11;34;21
Courtney Trembly
Yeah.
00;11;35;06 - 00;11;54;23
Ryan Carter
All right. Well, we certainly got your thoughts on real estate and what you bring to the table and your history to get to real estate. Let's pivot for a bit and talk about some of the good stuff. I mean, you know what else besides real estate takes up your life? I know your faith is a big part of your life and you're involvement there.
00;11;55;00 - 00;11;57;26
Ryan Carter
Tell us a little bit about you personally.
00;11;58;00 - 00;12;20;28
Courtney Trembly
Yeah. So I go to church out in Aurora. I'm actually I love to sing. Singing has always been a passion of mine. I tried out for American Idol. That's right. Way back in the day when they came here. And so I'm on the worship team at my church. So I do that a couple of times a month and I love it.
00;12;20;29 - 00;12;25;27
Courtney Trembly
Yeah, I love it. It's just something it's a way for me to just, you know, do my thing.
00;12;25;27 - 00;12;26;13
Ryan Carter

00;12;26;15 - 00;12;27;02
Courtney Trembly

00;12;41;08 - 00;12;44;14
Courtney Trembly
Okay, I'll give you a little something. Ready? I'm going to take you to church.
00;12;44;15 - 00;12;44;25
Ryan Carter
All right.
00;12;44;25 - 00;12;45;08
Courtney Trembly

Ryan Carter
Wretch like me. Beautiful. I think those are the right words.
00;13;07;08 - 00;13;30;20
Courtney Trembly
but I'm not really sure. So I love doing that. I also just I'm a huge people person, so I often do lots of, you know, dinners with friends and family. I love to host, I love to play and parties. So there's never a dull moment in my life. I'm always pretty busy. If I'm not busy, I'm like, Oh my gosh, whatever.
00;13;31;09 - 00;13;51;17
Courtney Trembly
I just like to keep myself busy and love to be around people and have fun. I love the mountains. Yeah. So getting out, hiking, love to kayak, get out on the lake and just relax. So really, I just kind of like to do it all. There's really nothing I don't, you know, don't do. If I haven't tried it, I'll try it at least once.
00;13;51;17 - 00;13;58;12
Courtney Trembly
Right. Give it a shot. I'm pretty adventurous, so. Yeah, that's a little bit about me for sure. Yeah.
00;13;58;13 - 00;14;22;20
Ryan Carter
