REAL ESTATE CONSULTANT
Growing up in a military family and living around the world, Kelly found that Colorado Springs was a perfect place for her to call home. With a project management background, her sales and marketing experience, along with a journalism degree, real estate seemed to be a perfect fit. Confirmation of her talent was evident when she began her first year in real estate, receiving Realtor Rookie of the Year. Many other awards and recognitions followed as her business expanded. After launching her real estate business in 1998, her primary focus was mountain property and ranches. Later she expanded her lucrative business to be a top seller of residential properties and Colorado luxury homes in the Pikes Peak region.
Kelly loves bike riding or hiking around our picturesque Colorado trails and parks with her dog, Nyah. She enjoys yoga, cooking, and baking with friends. People find her full of creative energy, loaded with integrity, and enjoy her authentic, fun, and friendly personality. She is committed to her strong network of friends, business associates, and professional real estate organizations such as the Pikes Peak Board of Realtors and Luxury Homes International. Giving back to the Colorado Springs community is a hallmark of her belief system. In the recent past, she served on the Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Festival Board and currently sits on the Board of Directors for CASA of the Pikes Peak region.

Suzanne Holland
Platinum Group Realtors
For Suzanne Holland, success is a by-product of the balance between having fun and doing a good job. And she would know. When she got her start in the industry, she was as a partner and top producer for a commercial real estate company in Dallas. Although she was incredibly successful, she was feeling the effects of a high-pressure, high stress job. So she decided to sell her business and move to Colorado Springs to enjoy life and maximize her time with her daughter. After taking a few years off, she decided to get back into real estate and was drawn to the interpersonal qualities that residential real estate offered
“Commercial real estate is about crunching numbers and driving hard deals,” she said. “With residential, you’re making connections and helping people. It’s much more rewarding.”
One of Suzanne’s favorite aspects of her job is guiding her clients through the real estate process, and creating an experience that alleviates stress and maximizes success.
Buying or selling a home is a major life event with a lot of emotional and financial decisions,” she said. I like to listen to my clients, and find out what is important to them. When clients are given the information they need they are confident and can make good decisions for themselves.
Suzanne, who works primarily by referral, is a pro at building relationships. She describes herself as “very outgoing and social” and likes to entertain. She hosts several parties a year, coordinates client appreciation events and will often be found hiking or spending time with her clients. She also will do special things like send cards to her clients’ and their kids on their birthdays, and she loves to write personal notes.
“I like to do fun things to stay in front of clients, who often turn into friends,” she said. “Getting to know them better builds long-term relation ships and for me it is all about the relationships not just the transaction.”
“I am fortunate to work with people who appreciate and value my services. I have flexibility, which has allowed me to be the mom I want to be and, I live in a beautiful place!”
Suzanne also believes in not only building relationships with clients, but also other agents. As part of the Platinum Group REALTORS®, she is surrounded by the best in the business. She also is a member of Elite 25, a select group of the top 1% REALTORS® in the area, and it has proven invaluable for networking.
In addition, Suzanne is on the board of the Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Institute and believes in their mission of celebrating the drive, spirit and diversity of women in film.
With a such a busy life, it’s important for Suzanne to break away and recharge. She travels quite a bit and also has a second home in Summit County.
“I am on all the time,” she said. “I need to disconnect at times and recharge so I can be present to myself and others.
The formula has worked for Suzanne, who is among the top 100 agents in Colorado Springs and one of the highest producing agents in Southwest area.
“I am fortunate to work with people who appreciate and value my services. I have flexibility, which has allowed me to be the mom I want to be and, I live in a beautiful place!”
