What Housing Helpers of Colorado does

Housing Helpers of Colorado is a privately held Boulder, Colorado-based LLC founded in 1994 that operates a multi-service residential real estate and housing platform across the Colorado Front Range. The company runs four interlocking service lines: residential property management for individual owners and investors, tenant placement and leasing, corporate furnished housing for stays of 30+ days or longer, and traditional real estate brokerage and relocation services. It serves property owners, business travelers and corporate clients (including Fortune 500 firms, government contractors, insurance carriers, and universities), relocating individuals and families, home buyers and sellers, and students and interns, with active coverage spanning 16+ communities from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs. The company matched 3,000+ people to rental homes in the most recent reporting year and maintains 250+ five-star reviews alongside a BBB A+ rating.

The core operating technology is Appfolio, a third-party SaaS property management platform that handles accounting, leasing workflows, and tenant communications; the company layers its local market expertise and in-house service operations on top of this stack. The firm is a member of CHPA (Corporate Housing Providers Association), ERC, NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers), and the Boulder Chamber of Commerce, and participates in the National Housing Helpers Partner Network to extend geographic reach outside its owned footprint.

The business model blends recurring and transactional revenue streams. Property management and corporate housing rentals generate recurring, contract-based revenue (a percentage of rental income for managed units and nightly/monthly rates for furnished stays). Tenant placement, real estate sales commissions, and relocation services are transactional, fee-based revenue tied to discrete deals. The company is led by Managing Broker Tom Orlando, has approximately five named principals and team members publicly visible, and has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing list and as a Top 250 Privately Owned Colorado company and Top 100 Woman Owned Colorado business. No outside funding, M&A activity, or disclosed financial figures are present in the available materials.
