Denver Real Estate Expert

Riley Wenger Real Estate

It all started with a house.

When I was 25, I had just moved back to Colorado after living over seas. I found myself at a dead-end job and was bearly scraping by - miserable day in and day out. I knew there had to be more to life…I knew there was a way to have more freedom while also having financial security. That’s when I eventually found out about real estate investing, and became obsessed. I was reading books on my lunch breaks, listening to hours of podcasts on the subject every day - it was all I could talk about. It wasn’t long until I finally took the leap and purchased my first property. I did a complete gut rennovation to increase the value of the home, then I moved into one of the rooms and rented out the other bedrooms. This is when things really clicked for me- I was living for free, and my roomates were paying down my mortgage. Amazing. I was ready to shout from the rooftops about my experience, and all I wanted to do was to help others learn about real estate and leverage it, too. It wasn’t long after that I quit the 9-5 and moved into real estate full time.

I have now been a licensed agent for over 4 years, and have helped a plethora of incredibe clients buy, sell, and invest in real estate. It is my goal as a Realtor to educate my clients on how to utalize real estate to achieve financial security so you can focus on what matters most in life to you.

Meet Riley Wenger

Welcome! I'm Riley, a proud Colorado native where I was born and raised in Denver. Whether I'm hitting the slopes or exploring the latest additions to our vibrant brewery scene, I'm all about embracing the best that life has to offer.

My academic journey took me to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I pursued a major in Psychology and Health Sciences. Following graduation, I embarked on a transformative two-year experience abroad, teaching English and overseeing service-based travel programs in Spain, Thailand, and Peru. This global exposure laid the foundation for my passion for travel, culminating in my 30th country visited in 2023—during the completion of the challenging 50-mile W Trek in Patagonia, Chile.

At the age of 25, I made a strategic entry into real estate by acquiring my first investment property in Denver. This early venture opened my eyes to the nuances of real estate investing and navigating the dynamic Denver market. Recognizing real estate as a powerful tool for financial success and freedom, I am enthusiastic about teaching these strategies to others.

My extensive experience in real estate encompasses a range of areas, including Real Estate Investing, Property Management, House-Hacking, AirBnb Rentals, Transaction Management, Buying & Selling, and Real Estate Social Media & Marketing. Fueled by a genuine passion for real estate and a commitment to exceeding client expectations, I am dedicated to guiding individuals on the path to financial success and the realization of their dreams through the world of real estate.

FAQs

  • While real estate is all about being nible and flexible with many things, including timing, I love to start working with my clients 3-6 months prior to the real estate transaction. This gives us sufficient time to get prepared to have the smoothest possible transaction to make this a great experience.

  • There are many different ways to househack, but the main idea is to “hack” your primary residence to make it more of an investment. You can live in a room of a home and rent out other rooms, buy a duplex and live in one half and rent the other, rent your basement, or even buy a house, live there for a year, then buy a second home while keeping the first as an investment property.

  • It is my role to walk you through all steps of a real estate transaction, but getting pre-approved will be done by a lender. I have incredible lenders I trust that I can get you connected with.
