Having lived in Colorado Springs as a soldier since 2002 he understands the Colorado Springs area very well. He also knows the ins and outs of military life.

My first homebuyer experience Molded me to become the best agent to advocate for you!
I was a young new staff sergeant stationed here at Fort Carson. I did what most do and asked my Army buddy who he used to buy a home with. He gladly gave me the number to the agent he used. I called her up and set a meeting to start the process. We met at the office, signed an agreement and got pre-qualified. I was qualified up to $195,000. I informed her that I would like to start at a lower price to try to get a more affordable payment and move up in price if we couldn’t find something we liked. When she took us around, the first house we went to was listed at $194,900, so the top of my limit. We, of course, loved it as it was remodeled and updated. I know now once you see the nicer and more expensive home its almost impossible to go for something more affordable. Then we went to see more homes priced at about $20,000 lower and a little dated. After looking at about 20 homes, We chose the first one we saw because it was much nicer than anything else she showed us. My point is I wanted to get something affordable in case I got into trouble down the road. It seemed as though my agent, just wanted to sell me something at the maximum amount I was qualified for to maximize her commission.
Also, we did our final walk through about 2 days before closing and my inspection items had not yet been completed. She encouraged me to go to closing and said it can be fixed after closing. She only made phone calls when I said I guess we just won’t go to closing then. This was supposed to be my agent fighting for me and instead, I had to fight for myself.
After I decided to leave active duty and join the Colorado guard, I headed into the civilian world where I did fall on hard times. I ended up having to short sale my home because I could not afford the payments. I could not sell then due to market conditions. Pink Realty was also my saving grace as they successfully negotiated the short sale for me.
The reason I tell this story is because I refuse to be like my first agent. If you hire me, I work for YOU, and I advocate for YOU. This is a big decision to make in anyone’s life. I want to be the one who helps you make the right decision for you. It’ not about me it’s about YOU.

I was referred to Pink Realty by a friend from work. He told after going through many different agencies and agents he found that Pink realty was the best experience he had and was able to purchase a home through them. I was in the market for my first home ever so the fact that I had a first hand experience from a friend was a huge reason I gave pink a chance. I cannot be happier with the whole buying process. I could definitely tell that they weren’t just in it to pressure me to buy any house. I was comfortable throughout the whole process and when I found the home I wanted to pursue I was updated throughout the whole process as well. Pink made what I though would be a stressful process, easy and bearable. I would no doubt recommend Pink 100 percent.
Buying your first home is a huge step for any family. For my wife and I, it was a long road with quite a few failed starts before we found what we were really wanting. As a small bit of background, we’re a military family, stationed in the area and ready to finally move off-base. We chose Pink Realty after having a less than desirable experience with another reputable, but overly sales-focused independent realtor our first time around, probably a little over a year prior at this point. We were overly cautious, but with a lot of favorable reviews, specifically for military families, we decided to take the plunge one more time.
The market had changed a lot since our first big venture and Pink was not hesitant to explain that to us. However, they backed that up with their reputation and extensive team of resources and experience. We saw countless homes on the market over the course of many weeks, even put a few offers in, but it seemed all for not. With their team of realtors working together, we ended up meeting a handful of different agents until finally being introduced to Cregg Terasa, who ended up being our final realtor.
Cregg was one of the easiest people to get along with; very personable, very approachable and very communicative. And while he was very new to being a realtor by the time we met, he brought a lot of knowledge and experience to the table with a background in construction, flipping, and best of all, being military himself. He knew exactly what we were dealing with and how to talk to us at our level, really driving home that he was working for us, not the ultimate sale.
There was no point when working with him that we didn’t feel like he wouldn’t go out of his way for us, be it answering a strange question about a house we were looking at in an older neighborhood or even telling us a hard truth we really didn’t want to hear about the state of the market (and at the time we were house hunting, it was quite ridiculously a “seller’s market”). He never gave up on us, even when we started to really feel the drag that it just wasn’t going to happen. Cregg would always keep in touch with us if we went a few days without talking and see about that next house. He even showed us a few homes that weren’t quite on the open market yet, just to give us that first chance at it. Eventually, after burn-out started to set in, he was the one that suggested a completed radical idea to us: new builds.
We thought it crazy at first, not to mention far more expensive than we could handle, but the truth was quite the opposite. Instead of looking for the right house at our budget in the right neighborhood, we could instead build a house we liked, at our budget, in a neighborhood of choosing. And not too long after touring some model homes in the Springs’ upcoming neighborhoods, we found a place we really liked and signed a contract that guaranteed us the home we wanted, where we wanted it.
Now, the process of building a home is far longer and far scarier than simply buying a home, let alone your first. We were very much under the idea that it would just be a waiting game and we’d see Cregg again on the other side of it. With Cregg, that was never even a consideration. He worked overtime with us on the project, helping us through countless delays, builder communication issues, even neighborhood theft concerns! What had to be a daily effort when things were at their worst, Cregg was a total professional through all of it, keeping us in the loop as much as possible and even being there with us for meetings with the builder’s sales office and design center. Once construction was finally moving along, we made regular appointments to go see the progress and Cregg was always there, answering our questions and even asking a few we would never have thought to bring up. He even stopped by and sent us pictures when we couldn’t quite make it that way.
By the time the house was finally built and we had keys in-hand, it was a victory we never thought possible without Cregg’s help. Professional, funny and with a people-first attitude, he was exactly the kind of realtor we were wanting that worked hard for our business every day. I tell everybody I know looking to make that next step to contact him first, no questions asked, because the day comes that we find ourselves in a similar situation again, he would absolutely be our first call, every time. In the six months following closing on our house, we’ve settled in happily and found that we’re really glad Cregg talked us into building. While oftentimes a harder process than it really should have been, the end result was worth it and we could not be happier with what is now our first home. If anybody was ever on the fence about making the leap to a new home, Pink does well by its people, walking them through every step of the process start to finish, and Cregg will absolutely do his best by you. Our home is the proof.
I am so glad we decided to use the Pink Realty Team, Cregg our realtor was Ana amazing listener and did a fabulous job at getting us in our house. Sadly he deployed 10 days after we went under contract but he made sure we knew exactly what would happen when he left and that we knew all his team members so we would always know who was helping us. I can’t express enough how fabulous the whole team is! They even sent us a special note congratulating us on our wedding anniversary and I didn’t even know they had that information
“At pink realty the agents were real professional and knowledgeable. They have shown me many property before I found my dream house. They have spent their time with me to understand what kind of house I was looking for to purchase and educated me about how I should do due diligence of the neighborhood of the house. Once again these are good people that actually help me purchase my dream house and I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THEM!!!. ALSO YES I WILL USE THEM AGAIN IN FUTURE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER HOUSE.”
Pink Realty and the crew are awesome and amazing and helpful. Cregg Teresa is our realtor and his amazing, updates you on anything and everything. Me and my husband are first time buyer so we have no clue where to start or what to do. But Cregg made us understand everything and explain to us. Thank you Cregg and Pink Realty
We switched to Cregg Terasa with Pink Realty after our home had been on the market for over 100 days with another realtor due to overly optimistic pricing. Cregg was honest with the pricing, very professional, and helpful at every stage. We were able to get asking price as well as a delayed closing to accommodate the completion of our new home. I would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to family and friends.
Our house was on the market for more than 100 days, before we made our change from our old realtor to Pink Realty. Cregg Terasa, Pink’s realtor, was nothing less than perfect. Our house was off the market for less than a week as Pink worked their magic. Throughout the time on the market, Cregg was always in contact with us letting us know about viewings and their results. Our house was on the market less than a month before it was under contract. I do not believe that this was solely because of the hot market, but because of Cregg’s and Pink Realty’s efforts. I would recommend them, especially Cregg, to anyone. Thanks.
As a first time buyer I was intimidated, but knew that I wanted to purchase my first home. Working with Pink Realty and Cregg Terasa really put all my hesitation and fears to rest. The entire office was friendly and professional. I found quickly that Cregg really did have my best interest at heart. Cregg was not just focused on finding me a home, but finding me the perfect home. He understood what I was looking for, and was actively looking to find one that fit all of my preferences. He was wonderful to work with, and really made the process enjoyable.
Pink Realty just helped us sell our home. We had a great experience working with them. Our realtor, Cregg Terasa, was excellent. We would definitely recommend Pink Realty.
Excellent experience! Worked diligently throughout the home buying process to not only find the perfect place but ensure we were informed every step of the way. Knowledgeable, motivated team and a friendly atmosphere in the office. Ask for Cregg!
We are a military family and were looking to buy a house from out of state. We were already stressed about making such a purchase from so far away, but Pink Realty and Cregg (our realtor), put us at ease and catered to our every need. We were blown away by their customer service and their constant communication. If you’re looking to buy, sell, rent, etc., go with Pink! You won’t be disappointed…
I stumbled upon Pink Realty while trying to contact an agent about a home listed on Zillow & it was probably the best thing that happened. As a first time home buyer I was nervous about the entire process but we worked with Cregg Terasa & he was a great help! I really liked that he was able to answer all my questions & he was truly working for us! When we ran into a couple of small problems with inspections, Cregg made sure everything was handled. Thanks to the great relationships Pink Realty has with many contractors in the area our plumber came out a second time with no charge & our home inspector set up 3 radon test while charging for 1. Cregg & the Pink team kept us well informed on things that were going on while under contract, even when we were out of town. If we decide to move in the future we will definitely be using Pink Realty to either rent out or sell our home.
We are a military family that just moved to Colorado Springs. We happened upon the Pink Realty site by chance, and are so happy we did.
THE BUSINESS:
From the minute we arrived to Pink, we were greeted by a friendly and personable staff. The facilities are great for doing all the research you need prior to going out and looking at homes. Everyone we met or dealt with seemed to have a great deal of experience were genuinely interested in helping us find a home. We were contacted at least once a week to ensure our realtor was meeting our needs and that we were satisfied with the Pink Realty service. Additionally, that contact didn’t stop once we had found a house. They continued to make contact to ensure we were happy with the purchase and ensure that nothing was going wrong since closing on the home.
OUR REALTOR:
I say OUR REALTOR, because that’s what it feels like. When you get a realtor from Pink it’s like the person is assigned to you, and only you (although I know that’s not the case, that’s how it felt in our experience with Pink)
From the minute our realtor Cregg Terasa was assigned to us, he was on the hunt to find exactly what we were looking for. Not only did he understand exactly what we were trying to do, but he also shared his experience and insight to ensure we didn’t make a rookie mistake or miss out on a great opportunity. One of the things I appreciated most was that he was extremely responsive. Whether it was an email, text, or a phone call, we were ALWAYS able to get a hold of him. He made sure to let us know when he was busy, but would respond back in a timely manner to ensure our needs were met.
When our builder (we bought a new build) pulled some shenanigans just before closing, Cregg was an absolute pit bull. He ensured the builder lived up to the contract and worked tirelessly to iron out the kinks so we could close on time.
This is just my family’s personal experience working with Pink, but I can honestly say I would recommend them to anyone. They are hard working, know the market, and are super easy to deal with. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and although there were some bumps along the way, the folks at Pink, especially Cregg Terasa, made the home buying process much less stressful… and I and my family will be forever grateful.
I had a good experience with Pink. Cregg worked arduously during the entire buying process, which alleviated a lot of the stress involved with purchasing a house. He said he worked very hard not only based on his own scruples and work ethic, but those shared between he and the Pink family.
I had a great experience selling my home with Pink Realty. Our realtor, Cregg, was very knowledgeable and professional. He was very prompt with returning my calls and texts. Everybody else we dealt with in the Pink Realty office was just as easy to work with.
I’ve already recommended Pink to other friends and relatives and I will definitely use them again in the future.
Was recommended by a friend and had the best experience! Cregg made sure we had as much information as possible and was with us every step of the way. Thanks for all the help Pink! We have definitely found our dream home!
