In the heart of South Denver Metro, Jessica Northrop and Sarah Bangert have established themselves as leading figures in the real estate landscape. With a combined 55 years of experience, they possess an unmatched understanding of the local market, particularly in the coveted Backcountry neighborhood, where they have successfully represented the sale of over 150 homes.

 

Sarah’s journey in Backcountry began in 2008 when she became one of the first 50 residents. It was here that she nurtured and raised her children, instilling in them a love for the unique community that defines this area. In contrast, Jessica joined the enclave more recently but has quickly embraced its ethos and charm. Their professional relationship spans years, and together they were among the first ten brokers to join Compass Colorado, drawn by the advanced technology and tools that elevate their clients' experiences and enhance service delivery. Both women share a profound passion for Backcountry’s offerings, including picturesque trail access, a deep sense of community, top-tier schools, and the simplicity of an idyllic lifestyle.

 

The Northrop Group was founded on a straightforward yet powerful mission: to assist individuals in finding their place in the world while safeguarding and maximizing what is often their largest family asset—real estate. Jessica and Sarah pride themselves on approaching each transaction as dedicated advocates, combining strategic insights with thorough guidance. Their commitment to their clients extends well beyond closing, positioning them as a trusted resource in every aspect of the real estate journey. Sarah’s fascination with real estate ignited in her childhood, fueled by her passion for architecture and design. Her partnership with Jessica commenced 15 years ago, blossoming into a dynamic collaboration that took on greater significance in 2022 when Sarah faced a personal crisis, a diagnosis of an acoustic neuroma, a benign brain tumor, which necessitated surgery. Jessica’s immediate response was one of solidarity; she stepped in to support Sarah’s clients without hesitation, displaying a true testament to their partnership. Following Sarah’s successful recovery, they made the decision to officially merge their talents, strengthening their commitment to their clients in new and profound ways.

 

The Northrop Group offers a full suite of real estate services, providing excellent representation for both buyers and sellers across the Denver Metro area. Their approach is hands-on and deeply personalized, ensuring that clients receive valuable guidance from the very first conversation all the way through to closing. The team’s impressive track record has garnered them recognition as one of the top teams in Denver, consistently appearing on the RealTrends The Thousand list. Known for their integrity and client-first mindset, they boast over $1 billion in lifetime sales, with annual closings exceeding $100 million. For sellers, The Northrop Group manages the entire selling process, from strategic pricing and marketing to staging and negotiations. Their dedicated team includes a full-time Director of Operations and a Director of Marketing, ensuring every detail is handled with precision and care. 

What truly distinguishes The Northrop Group is its collaborative, hands-on approach, paired with unique resources often unavailable to other teams. They leverage Compass Concierge, helping clients finance smart pre-listing improvements that yield significant results. For instance, one home underwent approximately $30,000 in updates, including flooring, paint, lighting fixtures, and staging, and subsequently sold for an astonishing $100,000 more than its previous listing price. Moreover, The Northrop Group is a proud member of the Compass Sports & Entertainment Division, which expands its network and enhances its clients' experience with added discretion. Community connection is also paramount to their ethos; they host well-attended events, including a beloved holiday party, “Pics with Santa,” at the Sundial House, fostering relationships that extend beyond real estate.

Giving back is a cornerstone of The Northrop Group’s values. Jessica has been involved with Giveback Homes for over a decade, taking the initiative to travel with her family to El Salvador to help build homes for those in need. Locally, the team supports numerous organizations, including Dress for Success and Habitat for Humanity, continually seeking meaningful ways to impact the community they serve. 

Facing Challenges and Embracing Growth*

Like many businesses, The Northrop Group has navigated various challenges, particularly in keeping pace with the rapidly evolving real estate landscape and advances in technology. By embracing these changes and aligning with Compass, they’ve improved the organization and communication with clients, ensuring they remain informed and confident throughout the journey. Their flexibility and commitment to continuous improvement have allowed them to elevate their services, ultimately enhancing the client experience. 

Looking ahead, The Northrop Group envisions a future centered on cultivating relationship-driven solutions for the Backcountry community while extending its impact beyond real estate. They are eagerly anticipating their next international build trip with Giveback Homes, alongside other events that foster community engagement and connections for both friends and clients. Personally, Sarah is thrilled about her son Scott’s upcoming high school graduation, marking a significant milestone in their family journey. In summary, The Northrop Group, led by Jessica Northrop and Sarah Bangert, exemplifies excellence in real estate, community engagement, and client advocacy. Their unwavering dedication and combined expertise promise not only remarkable results in the housing market but also a profound commitment to enhancing the lives of those they serve in Backcountry and beyond
