Dip your toes
into Real Estate

Working with Ian to buy our first home was a fantastic experience. Ian's expansive knowledge, kindness, and professionalism were evident throughout the entire process of purchasing the house. It's safe to say we could never have navigated the competitive and unprecedented Northern Colorado market without Ian.

From the first showings to writing offers, to negotiating with the seller, and finally to closing Ian was able to explain in clear and understandable terms the "why" for each step, as well as the theory and reasoning behind his guidance. This removed much of the intimidation from the process and allowed us to rationally move through the buying process, a clear advantage in a market full of emotional decisions.

Working with Ian was a fantastic experience! He is knowledgeable, kind, patient, and will work incredibly hard for you. Whenever we had a question or needed something, we knew that we could rely on him. Especially as first-time home-buyers, it was a gift to learn from him every step of the way. Ian is both a gifted real estate agent and a wonderful human being! Highly recommend working with him!

JULIAN

We had a very positive experience working with Ian Charles. He listened to all of our wants in a house, and he helped us find the perfect property. He went above and beyond evaluating properties for us while we were living out of state. His language and descriptors of every property we looked at were on-point and he always showed enthusiasm in all of our requests. We highly recommend Ian and look forward to working with him again for our future realtor needs!

SARAH

Out of the five real estate agents I interviewed, I ultimately ended up going with Ian Charles. Ian made the process of purchasing a home extremely straightforward and convenient. He made himself available despite his busy schedule, and being a Fort Collins native, had a level of knowledge about the northern Coloradan that's invaluable during the home buying process. Highly recommend.

GALEN

Ian has demonstrated a high level of competence and insight in this extraordinary marketplace. He's been responsive to our needs, and a pleasure to have on our side!

DALE

As a first time home-buyer I don't think my wife and I could have had a better experience than with Ian. When it comes to all the paperwork and procedure he was there every step of the way to guide us and answer questions. There were moments, few and far between, when Ian didn't know the answer to our question and assuredly to his credit he said I don't know and set about figuring it out for us.

Additionally, I find he is just about the friendliest and most agreeable person one might ever happen to meet. If you're wanting to do any kind of real-estate business that Ian is willing to handle, do yourself a favor and hire him.

ELI

We worked with Ian Charles and Sarah Bennett to purchase a new home in Northern Colorado. We could not be happier with our realtors! We appreciated their attention to detail, dogged pursuit of our best interests, clear and transparent communication, and good judgment. Ian also provided A+ recommendations to other service providers, and they really knew the market and area, paying attention to both details and big-picture needs. We will use them again and are referring all our friends.

Five stars! Highly recommend.

LISA

Ian was such a good real estate agent match for our needs. We had not purchased a home in many years and Ian was professional in addition to being knowledgeable and informative. He assisted us with resource contacts which made our part easier. Ian was able to help us work through decisions in a timely manner and thus keep us on track.

His patience gave us the time to feel comfortable with asking questions and making decisions. Even more so as we moved forward sooner than anticipated with a decision that was not quite on our horizon the day we first met to view the house we purchased. But what a good decision for us overall. Ian gets a 5-star rating and we recommend him without reservation.

LYLE & FAITH

Ian is a longtime friend of mine and was the obvious choice for me. As a local, Ian is very knowledgeable about Fort Collins and the surrounding cities. He was attentive to my needs and made certain I was comfortable throughout the purchasing process. Ian is great to work with - I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a home on the Front Range!

SAM

Ian and Sean are an incredible team and have been so wonderful to work with on both the buying and selling side. They helped us find our dream home, and are currently guiding us through the sale of our first home. I highly recommend them!

KELLY

From start to finish, the Barefoot Team demonstrated remarkable flexibility, timeliness, professionalism, valuable recommendations, and quick communication skills that made the entire home-buying process a breeze.

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.

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.

Their prompt response to our messages and calls was a testament to their commitment to excellent customer service!

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.

CAM

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.

MARY

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!!!

SAM

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.

HAYDEN

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.

FRANK

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!

MACKENZIE

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.

NAOMI

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.

GRANT

Fantastic people to have on your real estate team! Just bought our first house and looking forward to more.

ALEX

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!

BEAU

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.

DANIEL

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.

TAYLOR

The Barefoot Team are the definitions of rockstars! 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!

HOLLY

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.

STEVE

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!

HANNAH

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.

MATT

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.

MEGAN

If you would like two dedicated agents to have your back and share their local knowledge this team of experienced, fun, friendly real estate agents will provide you with what your looking for while maintaining their own energy. They live a work life balance that works for their clients whether sellers or buyers or both and for themselves.

TERRY

We had a great experience working with Ian and Sean! Throughout the entire home-buying process, they were incredibly patient, especially as we took our time deciding which home was right for us. They provided detailed market analyses for properties, helping us understand the financial aspects clearly. They were always more than happy to schedule walkthroughs, making us feel prioritized. What makes them even more special is their commitment to giving back—they donate part of their proceeds to environmental organizations and nonprofits, which really reflects their values. Ian and Sean are not only great realtors but genuinely great people. We would absolutely work with them again in the future!

DEREK

The absolute best kind of humans to work with. Sean and Ian are knowledgeable, kind, responsive, and always have your best interest at heart. As first time home-buyers, we had a LOT of questions and a LOT of nerves going into the process. We are so grateful we partnered with a team that took their time and truly listened to us. They are the definition of 'above and beyond' - making every part of the process not only relaxed and seamless, but also fun and personal. I'd give them 20 stars if I could.
