About Rich

Business Philosophy Working in the Boulder area has been an honor for me and I use all of my knowledge and skill to help people successfully buy or sell their homes. I listen to the needs of my Clients and advise accordingly. I have an extensive business background holding a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Colorado. During my career I have been involved with many real estate projects as an owners representative, designer and supervisor. I understand how to construct from the ground up and have remodeled multiple buildings and increased their values. In the past I was owner of a small business roofing houses and I was a consultant on major commercial developments. I completely understand how buildings are constructed and the challenges that can affect real property from a buyer and sellers perspective. I will use my background and experience to provide you as the buyer or seller information on how homes are positioned against others in the market. With full information in hand I strive to counsel Clients so their investment yields the greatest returns. As I work with all of my Clients I do so in a very caring and expedient fashion without stress. I will work extremely hard to satisfy your expectations so that the home buying or selling process is a pleasant one.

I grew up in Plymouth, Minnesota and went to High School in Edina, Minnesota. I moved to Boulder, Colorado in 1976 and like so many others fell in love with Boulder and have remained here. I attended the University of Colorado where I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science and a Master of Business Administration Degree. My wife Cathy (Cooper) Gundersen is from Norman, Oklahoma and we met and married in Boulder in 1993. Cathy is an Ultrasonographer and has had a wonderful career recording images of babies for parents in Boulder before they entered the world. We have a daughter Nissa who is graduating this year from Fairview High School. She has been accepted to the University of Colorado at Boulder this fall into the Engineering School. She is interested in becoming an Environmental Engineer. We have lived up in the Table Mesa area for twenty years where Cathy's uncle Hugh Philips built the majority of the homes in south Boulder. Hugh owned Philips Construction and I always enjoy meeting neighbors who had their house built by "Butch". The Gundersen's love living in Boulder, Colorado and especially up in Table Mesa.
