Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC announced today the affiliation of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Kenney & Company, based in Colorado Springs, CO. The brokerage has four offices along Colorado’s Front Range in the state’s two largest cities, Denver and Colorado Springs. Over the past 38 years, the firm has served clients in most all of Colorado’s 472 cities, with a primary service area including Monument, Palmer Lake, Woodland Park, Manitou Springs, Castle Rock, Denver, Pueblo, Summit County and Colorado Springs. 

The company was first established in 1985 by Steve and Mary Ellen Kenney. In 2011, their son, Michael Kenney took over ownership. Mike is a third-generation real estate professional with over 20 years of experience himself. After watching his grandfather, mother, father, aunts and uncles all work in the industry from New York to California, Mike’s guiding philosophy is that his company is a family, not just a business. 

They have set themselves apart with the philosophy of “GROW, STEWARD, and WIN.” This philosophy involves cultivating agents’ talents and strengths to be knowledgeable professionals in all aspects of the real estate experience so they can achieve their goals no matter the market. They focus on being a full-service firm that serves the entire spectrum of clientele including first-time homebuyers, luxury vacation homes, land development, ranches and more.

Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas are some of the most sought-after locations to live in the U.S. for outdoor enthusiasts. The region is home to over 229 scenic trails for hikers or mountain bikers, and over 30 operating ski resorts.  The area is also welcoming for hunters, fishermen, white-water rafting, and beautiful campgrounds. In addition to promoting a healthy outdoor lifestyle, the region also has excellent educational opportunities such as the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, Colorado College and Colorado Technical University. 

The area boasts a diverse economy, with a number of high-volume employers in the area. These employers include local healthcare facilities, including the Children’s Hospital of Colorado aerospace manufacturers, cybersecurity and the several professional sports teams. Colorado Springs also has a strong military presence with the U.S. Air Force Academy, Peterson Space Force Base, Fort Carson and Schriever Space Force Base.
