We can't say enough great things about Jerrod at Wish Property Management! We were house hunting in Colorado Springs while living an hour away, and with a toddler in tow, making it to every showing just wasn't realistic. Jerrod went above and beyond by taking videos of homes for us so we could seriously evaluate properties before making the trip. He was incredibly patient throughout the entire process, never making us feel rushed or pressured. His deep knowledge of Colorado Springs neighborhoods helped us zero in on the right area for our family. We ended up in the wonderful Pinecreek neighborhood in D20 school district, and we couldn't be happier. When it came time to negotiate, he fought hard on our behalf and guided us every step of the way. We're so grateful we had Jerrod in our corner. If you're looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and goes the extra mile, look no further!

Jerrod Butler was outstanding to work with as a realtor from the Colorado Springs area. He helped me manage the home sale for my brother’s estate and helped me work through the probate process concerning the real estate as well. I would highly recommend Jerrod to anyone buying or selling real estate in Colorado. Very professional and always responsive to my questions or requests. Thank you Jerrod!

I am so thankful that I was able to work with Jerrod to buy my first home! I initially contacted him for a consultation because I was new to the house-buying process and didn't know where to start. Jerrod listened to my questions and concerns and was able to give me tips on red flags to avoid, suggestions for neighborhoods/areas that fit my needs, and excellent recommendations for contacts such as home inspectors. Not only was Jerrod professional, responsive, and polite, but he also provided me with so much insight into the critical information I needed to make the best purchase for me. I was able to close on my new home just over a month after my first conversation with Jerrod. Never once was I left in the dark about what needed to be done because Jerrod was proactive and already addressing any hiccups we encountered. I cannot recommend Jerrod enough!

We returned to the Colorado Springs area and sought out a realtor by entering an online search for “the Best realtor in Colorado Springs”. Jerrod Butler with Wish Properties name and photo popped up. Based on his positive reviews we contacted his office. We’ve purchased and sold many houses over the years with realtors and Jerrod Butler is truly the Best we’ve had the pleasure of working with! Jerrod provided: professional showings of homes in various neighborhoods, sage advice, strong negotiations to acquire a home in the highly sought after Broadmoor area in Cheyenne Mountain school district 12, and set up contractors to address negotiated items. We highly recommend Jerrod Butler if you are seeking a realtor in Colorado Springs!

As a first time homebuyer, I was nervous about navigating the process, but Jerrod provided exceptional and personalized support throughout the process. Jerrod was not the stereotypical real estate agent I expected. He was quiet thoughtful, and never pushy, but he always provided thoughtful answer to nearly every question. He provided me with space to figure out what house I wanted to buy, while still guiding me with his Throughout the week, Jerrod carefully observed by what I liked and didn’t like. He used those observations to recommend homes that genuinely met my preferences. He ultimately found me a “diamond in the rough” in Cimmaron Hills, an area I had not originally consider, proving he understood what I was looking for. I am thrilled with my home purchase, and it was truly a pleasure working with Jerrod!

We moved from out of state and Jerrod made the process so easy! He was prompt in returning emails and texts and kept us informed every step of the way. He truly listened to what we needed in a home and was efficient in getting showings set up during the small window that we were in town. Highly recommend Jerrod for your next home!

Jerrod Butler is truly exceptional to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable, genuinely kind, and consistently went above and beyond in every interaction. I appreciated his realistic approach, and I genuinely felt like we were partners throughout the entire process. He arranged for beautiful, high‑quality photos of my home and created an impressive online listing that appeared across nearly every major site. He actively marketed my house at a time when many agents simply don’t. Because of his dedication and expertise, my home went under contract in just seven days — in December, in a difficult market — and at a great price. I even closed before Christmas. I highly recommend Jerrod.
