Our Story
New Era Home Buyers was founded in 2005 in Denver, Colorado, to provide homeowners with a straightforward, transparent alternative to the traditional selling process. Over the years, we’ve worked with homeowners across a wide range of situations, including properties requiring significant repairs, inherited homes, and complex ownership circumstances. No matter the situation, we believe in treating every homeowner with fairness, honesty, and respect.
Leadership and Experience
New Era Home Buyers is led by Brett Johnson, a Denver-area home buyer whose business focuses on purchasing houses directly from homeowners for cash. Raised in Aurora and educated in business and finance, Brett earned his MBA from the University of Denver and has been directly involved in over $60 million in home purchases throughout the Denver metro area.
Brett is a licensed Colorado real estate broker, which provides additional oversight and accountability for homeowners. His business is solely focused on purchasing homes directly, allowing sellers to complete an as-is sale without the listing process.
As an active investor, Brett oversees each transaction personally to ensure offers are evaluated fairly and communicated clearly. His experience spans a wide range of property types and seller situations, allowing New Era Home Buyers to handle complex circumstances responsibly.
Brett has contributed real estate insights to national publications including Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, Realtor.com, Fortune, Newsweek, Kiplinger, Homes & Gardens, The Spruce, and Bob Vila. His insights have also been syndicated across major platforms such as Yahoo Finance, AOL, MSN, and other national news outlets.
As a locally owned company, New Era Home Buyers focuses on ethical cash home buying, transparent offers, and clear communication. Homeowners deserve honest information about selling their property directly, with realistic expectations around timing, pricing, and outcomes. We make decisions based on long-term responsibility to the communities we operate in, not short-term transaction volume.
Our goal is to create a clear and respectful experience for every homeowner we speak with. We explain what is possible and what is not based on the specific property and situation, using straightforward language and realistic expectations. Every conversation is handled confidentially, and homeowners are given the time they need to make informed decisions.
If selling directly to New Era Home Buyers is not the right fit, we are upfront about that and help homeowners understand other paths that may better match their goals.
When we evaluate a property, we take a practical and transparent approach. We look at the home’s condition, the repairs needed, recent neighborhood sales, and what it realistically takes to bring the property back into livable shape. We also review details that are often overlooked, such as title issues, liens, occupancy, and ownership complexity, because those factors can affect the outcome for a homeowner.
Because we purchase homes directly and take on repairs, holding costs, and resale risk ourselves, our offers reflect the full scope of work and risk involved. There is no obligation to accept an offer. We encourage homeowners to compare all options, including listing with an agent, before deciding what makes the most sense for their situation.
Our goal is to provide clarity, not just a number. We explain how an offer is calculated so homeowners understand the reasoning behind it and can compare their options with confidence. Even when a direct sale is not the right solution, we believe clear information is always valuable.
Homeowners who contact New Era Home Buyers can expect direct communication and clear answers. We do not use scripts, call centers, or high-pressure tactics. Every conversation is handled by someone with the authority to explain what is possible and what is not based on the specific situation.
We encourage homeowners to take the time they need to evaluate their options. If another path makes more sense, such as listing traditionally, we are open about that. Our role is to provide information and clarity, not urgency, so homeowners can make decisions that feel right for them.
The reviews below are from Denver-area homeowners who sold their houses directly to New Era Home Buyers. Each reflects a real transaction involving a cash offer, a direct purchase, and a straightforward closing process.
We renovate homes with an emphasis on safety, durability, and long-term livability. We don’t just fix up houses—we restore them with care, adding modern updates and smart designs that make each home more comfortable and valuable.
Whether we’re repairing a neglected property or giving an old home a fresh new look, our goal is to create inviting, move-in-ready spaces where families can build lasting memories. By focusing on both style and structure, we make sure every home we renovate is built to last.
New Era Home Buyers is often a good fit for homeowners dealing with complicated situations, homes that need significant work, or circumstances where certainty and simplicity matter. We are not the right fit for every homeowner, and we are clear about that from the beginning.
Homeowners who want have the time, patience and budget to renovate, test the open market, or maximize price through showings and competition may be better served by listing their home traditionally. Our role is to purchase homes directly from sellers, and we believe being honest about fit is part of acting responsibly rather than pushing a transaction that does not align with a homeowner’s goals.
