The Barefoot Team... wow. They made us feel like family--the kind you are excited to see on holidays and make phone-calls to often. And they helped us through the entire process of buying a home we can grow our family in for years to come. Ian and Sean are patient, kind, positive, and thoughtful. They answered all our questions, on repeat, quick to respond, didn't blink an eye on wanting to see another place before we landed on the right one. During closing they gave us reminders, talked through every step and document, offering more guidance and support than we could have hoped to expect. They truly went above and beyond. How did they make it all so clear and easy? They are the perfect team. I couldn't recommend them more.

Sean and Ian are two of the best realtors in Fort Collins. They are both so incredibly knowledgeable about the area & various neighborhoods, what to look out for in a home in Colorado (we had moved from out of state, so this was really important to us!), and various offer strategies. As a two person team, they were able to provide scheduling flexibility that would be impossible with anyone else. Personally, Sean and Ian are both very friendly, kind, and overall fun individuals to hang out with. They made a generally stressful very enjoyable. Although they helped us find our dream home and hope to stay there for many years, I am hopeful we will get to work with Sean and Ian again!

If you are reading this, you have found the best realtor tandem in Colorado. Ian and Sean are knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. IF you can stump them on a question, they are going to figure it out and let you know ASAP. You can feel that you are a priority to them. They know the area extremely well, and are connected with great contractors to help get your new home exactly as you need it. I cannot recommend the Barefoot Team enough.

These guys are great to work with. No games, no runaround, no smarminess -- just two locals who truly care about each client and each interaction. They're an honest hometown team with the connections to line us up with a great investment property (that wasn't even on the market!) Highly recommend the Barefoot team.

Sean and Ian knocked it out of the park. Our needs and wants were a little ambiguous as we were trying to satisfy many goals with one property. Their patience paid off in spades as we ended up with two properties we think are perfect for us. They showed us many properties, often at a moment's notice, as we searched and searched. We will DEFINITELY use them again.

I'm going to make this short and sweet. I highly recommend Sean Hudgens and Ian Charles, "the barefoot team", joined by Sarah Bennett (who I've had the pleasure of working with on two occasions now), for their exceptional service in facilitating the sale of my home. Simply put, they created a game plan and flawlessly executed that plan, in an expeditious manner. By thoroughly communicating and always having my best interest in mind, they turned what would normally be a very stressful situation, into a wonderful experience. Thank you, Sean, Ian and Sarah!!!

Sean and Ian make one heck of a team. They are incredibly organized, communicative, and just plain fun to work with. They took the stress out of looking for a property that fit our needs and knocked it out of the park. From detailed financial projections to shared calendars for important dates, they provided us tools we didn’t know we needed when buying a house. 5 stars, 10/10, I’d give them a Michelin Star if I could.

I would highly recommend working with Sean and Ian! They were extremely knowledgeable and great communicators at each step of the process. They helped make all of the decisions and deadlines manageable for me as a first-time homebuyer, especially when it came to negotiation options and considerations. They also had great recommendations for contacts in areas like loans and home inspection.

We met Ian and Sean at an open house. My wife and I immediately knew they were the team to represent us moving forward. They had the ability to anticipate needs we didn't even know we had. Their approach of allowing my wife and I to explore the space before they added their expertise let us know that above all they wanted the house to work for us. I can't imagine buying a house with anyone else!

Ian from Barefoot lent his confluence of knowledge, experience, and speed to our purchase that took us from offer to closing in twelve days. Barefoot are highly responsive, quick to execute actions, respond to questions, and compile comprehensive lists of options and solutions for any snag that arises. They went above and beyond, compiling a spreadsheet of recommended contractor bids, and offering personalized assistance for every step of the process.

It was a real pleasure to work with the Barefoot team. Everything went smoothly, they communicated well with all parties and made the sale of the house very easy. I couldn't be happier.

Sean and Ian are the best. They always go above and beyond to help and work for every dollar, whether it’s selling your current house or buying a new one (in our case both, two different times). Their communication is top notch, we were never left wondering where things were at and they answered questions immediately. I would (and likely will) work with them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone.

The team's flexibility was unparalleled as they were always available to accommodate our busy schedules and work around our unique needs. They went above and beyond to ensure that we found the perfect home within our budget and never once pressured us to make a decision that was not in our best interest.
In addition to their flexibility, the team's timeliness was impressive, and they always ensured that we were updated with any new developments in a timely and efficient manner. They were always punctual for every appointment, and their attention to detail was remarkable.
Their professionalism was evident in every interaction we had with them, and we were impressed by their depth of knowledge and experience in the real estate industry. They were always available to answer any questions we had, and their recommendations were invaluable in helping us make informed decisions, or even advise against anything that looked sketchy.
Finally, their quick communication skills were a standout feature, and we were amazed by how responsive they were to our inquiries. Their ability to promptly respond to our messages and calls was a testament to their commitment to excellent customer service!
Overall, we had an outstanding experience working with Sean and Ian, and we would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a new home. Their flexibility, timeliness, professionalism, recommendations, and quick communication skills are truly unmatched.

Wonderful experience buying our new home! Ian and Sean made the overwhelming feel easy. Our turnaround time from offer to close was only 3 weeks and these guys kept us organized and on top of all the steps. We really appreciate all their help and knowledge. Highly recommend!

The Barefoot Team are the definitions of rock stars! As our second time buying a house with Sean and first time working with Sean and Ian as a team, it was an incredible experience! As a team they were so quick to respond and were always available - even getting us a tour within 4 hours of seeing a house online! They made a stressful process stress-less (and dare I say even fun at times?). Looking forward to continuing to work with them for any future home buying needs!

Ian and Sean are great! We were on the fence with whether we were comfortable buying or continuing to rent another year. The minute we made a decision to buy, they were on it and stayed up late to craft an offer, which resulted in our first home purchase. The entire process went incredibly smoothly and they were immediately responsive to our questions, even on weekends and late at night. We were very appreciative of their work and honesty. They are humble and down to earth gents, and we never felt pressured at any step.

About Ian Charles
I was born and raised in Fort Collins and straight out of high school, I pursued a degree in Culinary Arts which led me to work across the country and internationally. I had an idea of how wonderful Northern Colorado was before I left, but I now know it will always be my home.The time that I spent working in the service industry prepared me to be the real estate agent that you deserve. It taught me to listen to your goals and desires, to prioritize your needs before my own, to work tirelessly for your benefit, and to share my knowledge of real estate transactions with you. I utilize each of these skills as a trusted advisor and consultant for all of my clients.
When I’m not actively searching for your next home or investment, you’ll find me biking, snowboarding, cooking, gardening, walking my dog, or volunteering at Safe Routes to School or a local CSA.
