CONNIE KRASKA - CANDELAS REAL ESTATE EXPERT

As a Colorado native, Connie has served the Front Range real estate market since 2004. Real estate runs deep in her family, beginning with her mother, who founded a brokerage in Pueblo, Colorado in 2000 specializing in bank-owned properties. Connie and her family soon followed, working with some of the nation’s largest banks and selling hundreds of foreclosed homes from Fort Collins to Pueblo.

With more than 800 closed transactions, Connie brings extensive experience, market knowledge, and strategic insight to every client relationship. She understands that buying or selling a home is one of life’s most significant financial decisions and is committed to guiding clients with confidence, clarity, and care.

Connie has a particular passion for new construction, offering in-depth expertise in this specialized segment. She guides clients through builder communication, incentive and price negotiations, value-driven upgrade decisions, and construction timelines—serving as a trusted advocate and fiduciary throughout a complex process. She strongly believes buyers should have independent representation focused solely on their best interests.

She also enjoys working with first-time buyers and sellers, helping them navigate the process from start to finish through clear communication, education, and careful attention to detail.

Luxury buyers and sellers value Connie’s ability to negotiate at the highest level while delivering exceptional marketing, thoughtful home preparation, and white-glove service. Personable, accessible, and detail-driven, Connie and her team always make the client the priority.

Whether relocating, upsizing, downsizing, or buying and selling simultaneously, Connie believes there is no job too big or too small to receive an elevated level of service.

Outside of real estate, Connie enjoys hiking, biking, and exploring Colorado’s mountain towns. She is a proud mother of a son and daughter and a strong supporter of military families, offering guidance on special programs available to those who serve or have served.

Giving back to the community is important to Connie. She has served as Chair of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors Young Professionals Committee and remained involved for several years, helping grow it into one of Colorado’s most successful groups. She has also dedicated time to the Colorado Miss Amazing Organization and is active in her Candelas neighborhood, where she supports local businesses and community events.

Connie serves clients throughout Boulder, Golden, Longmont, Erie, Westminster, Milliken, Johnstown, Brighton, Thornton, Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Denver, Aurora, Commerce City, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Englewood, Lakewood, Centennial, Broomfield, Lafayette, Louisville, and Greenwood Village.

Qualifications 

Prior to working at LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, Connie was the broker owner of her own small firm, Diamond Realty Alliance, where she cultivated her knowledge of foreclosures, HUD homes, REO listings, investment properties and fix and flips since 2004. Having an expert background in these areas has served her client’s well. Additionally, she was able to gain expertise in so many areas of Denver and Boulder, given the expanse of these types of properties. Since, she has focused her time and attention on servicing clients of all price points and areas, especially first-time sellers, move-up sellers and luxury home sales. 

Philosophy

Regardless of what industry you are in, success revolves around three things: strong focus on the client’s needs, the skill of the individual, and knowledge of the market.

Connie believes that everyone deserves the highest level of service and communication and works diligently to provide this to every single client.
