Behr & Behr
Behr & Behr is a family-owned, family-operated business. Owners Ed and Renee Behr began working in Colorado Springs real estate in 1985, building success based on trust and client relationships. As their business grew, they saw the advantage of forming a partnership of successful local real estate agents. In 2005, they helped found the Platinum Group Realtors in Colorado Springs. In 2009, their son Brandon joined the Behr team and his wife, Leah, came on board in 2014. They would love to work with you as you look for your next home.

Our Philosophy
As Professional Realtors in Colorado Springs, we believe a strong, personal relationship built on trust and confidence is the foundation of success. It gives our clients satisfaction and pride when the sale is complete. It's why our clients come back to us and refer others to us. In fact, 80% of our new business is from personal referrals. We think that says a lot.
The Value of Behr & Behr
We tap into an extensive network of resources, and work as a team to offer you more than most individual agents can. Whatever the situation, we've probably seen it before. Whatever needs to be done, we've got someone who can do it. We honor the tried-and-true (that's called wisdom), while embracing the cutting edge (a.k.a. creativity). It's a powerful combination that yields outstanding results.

The Platinum Group Realtors
There are generally two options in real estate: small, independent brokerages and national agencies (think: Re/Max or Century 21). There's nothing wrong with either of these options, but in Colorado Springs there's a better one: The Platinum Group Realtors. It was started right here, and it's made up only of local Colorado Springs agents. This offers you a lot of advantages.
The value of an independent brokerage
We always recommend going with an independent brokerage. They know the local market. They’re always looking back to see what went well and what could have been better. They’re always learning. They take responsibility. The majority of their clients are direct referrals or repeat clients. Without a national brand name to fall back on, they have to provide value to their clients to stay in business. This is the value you’ll find at the Platinum Group.
The Value of The Platinum Group
The Platinum Group is the largest independently owned real estate company in Colorado Springs. We have the highest producing agents, and the second highest producing office in the entire market. Behr & Behr Team clients gain access to everything the Platinum Group has to offer.
