If you’re not happy, we’re not happy.

We decided a LONG time ago that the most important byproduct of everything we do, has to be client satisfaction – at every stage of the buying and/or selling process. 

Our purpose is to make everyone who comes into contact with the Red Deer Realty team, feel like they connected with people who care AND can get the job done.

Longevity

More than 25 years’ real estate experience, from Aspen to Rifle.

The Red Deer Team

As with any dedicated sales and marketing team, we all have our own strengths and distinctives.

Jessica Grenier

Joni Busby

Associate Broker

Barbara is the founding member of Red Deer Realty . With more than 30 years of experience in real estate sales, her pricing intuition is second to none — as is her commitment to client satisfaction. “On the other side of every transaction, we want a client to feel they got the best possible service and representation. It’s our golden rule of real estate.” 

Over the years, Barbara has handled the total spectrum of real estate – from commercial and residential sales to property management. 

Leo is a broker and builder – which makes him an indispensable asset when it comes to assessing the positives and negatives of a property. He has over 35 years in both commercial and residential construction as well as 12 years in real estate sales in the Roaring Fork Valley. 

Leo began his career in upscale commercial construction in Boston, and brought his experience and expertise to high-end residential construction in the Roaring Fork Valley – from Rifle and New Castle to Glenwood Springs.

Jessica is a first-generation Polish American who loves the outdoors and co-owns two fitness facilities in the Valley with her husband, Kevin. His job as a construction project engineer has schooled her in home-building essentials, which her clients value — as much as her avid business skills, and the ability to juggle appointments, critical deadlines and multiple schedules! Jessica likes connecting buyers and sellers and being part of what is always a special moment, especially for first-timers. You’ll often see her with her two young boys in tow — as she works hard to make transactions as stress-free as possible for both sides!

Joni Busby is a real estate marketing whiz, former California realtor and Emmy-award winning TV producer (THE DOCTORS) who traded the grind of Hollywood for a slice of paradise in the Roaring Fork Valley. After a year teaching documentary filmmaking at CMC, she signed on with a veteran developer to help market three master-planned communities in Denver. Joni’s clients appreciate her authenticity, positive energy and communication skills. Besides being passionate about matching people and places, she loves a competitive game of pickleball, 4.5-star audiobooks and clutter-freeing tips from Marie Kondo.

Client Testimonials

Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say about us:

“Jessica has been our realtor for our past two home purchases. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted throughout the process. She was always willing to show us multiple homes and researched homes in our price range. She also worked closely with our loan officer. We look forward to using her again in the future.”

Audrey Jones

Homebuyer, Glenwood Springs

Jessica was so amazing! She really looked out for us and was someone we could trust in the crazy process of home ownership. She worked so hard to find a place that would work for our family, we were able to stay in the valley because of her. Thank you, Jessica!.”

The Marosticas

Homebuyers, Downtown Carbondale

“Joni’s creative edge and deep knowledge of the real estate market helped us buy our dream home. We were the lowest bid out of nine offers and still got the house! Joni was so supportive and her humor and kindness made what could have been a stressful experience into a warm memory. She has become a good friend!”
