For Agents & Partners

Real estate deals run on deadlines, and the ones that fall apart usually fall apart over something small that sat unanswered too long; a title question the night before closing, an inspection response due by end of day, an addendum that needs a lawyer's eyes before a client will sign. Agents don't need a legal opinion next week - they need one now, while the deal is still moving. That's what I built my practice around. Fast answers, direct access when it matters, and contract review that keeps pace with how fast real deals actually happen. When you bring me in, you're not adding a step to your closing timeline — you're removing the bottleneck that usually slows one down. That's the reason agents keep sending me their deals, I move at the speed the transaction demands. Join our free agent network for updates and a direct line for deal questions. We aim to respond to every inquiry the same business day.

What You Can Expect

A Same Day Response Goal

Contract questions, inspection deadlines, and title issues don't wait for business hours. Reach out, and we aim to answer the same day, not the same week.

Deal Protection

My job isn't just to flag risk, it's to help keep the deal intact on its way to closing and, with my client’s permission, keep everyone informed along the way.

Direct Access

You're not routed through a paralegal or left waiting on a callback. When you need me on a deal, you get me.

No/Low Cost Case Review

In many cases, the early legwork required to understand what you're dealing with doesn't cost you or your client a thing before we're moving forward together.

Plain Language Updates

No legalese in your inbox. You get clear, plain-English status updates you can forward straight to your client without translating them first.

Straight Talk

If what you're facing is a real estate question rather than a legal one, I'll tell you that and point you toward the right answer instead of running up a bill on something outside of my lane.

How We Work With Agents

No Referral Fees

We don't pay referral fees or give anything of value in exchange for recommending us. Colorado's rules for lawyers don't allow it, and we follow them.

Confidentiality First

What a client tells us stays confidential. With the client's permission, we'll keep you updated so the deal keeps moving.

Free for Every Agent

Membership, resources, and trainings are free to every Colorado agent, whether or not you ever send us a client.

Conflict Checks

Before we take on a matter, we check for conflicts with everyone involved in the deal, including other agents and brokerages.

Your Client Is Our Client

When your buyer or seller hires us, we represent them. Our duties run to our client, not to the transaction or the referring agent.

Separate Businesses

Stone Gable Realty is a separate business. Its real estate brokerage services are not legal services, and they are not provided by Proper Tea Law.
