What Sets Us Apart
Barry Martin
Honest | Caring | Fair | Self Less
All of Barry’s decisions are influenced by his beliefs. “My Dad is a great man. He’s honest, caring and fair,” says Shaun.
I can sum up how my Dad lives his life with the following quote:
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
Barry believes actions speak louder than words. Just know that when you deal with Barry, what you see is what you get. No fuss, just the facts, with a lot of kindness sprinkled in.
Shaun Martin
Entrepreneurial | Hardworking | Not Afraid to Make Mistakes
“I make mistakes all the time! Just ask my wife!” said Shaun. “Comes with being an entrepreneur, I guess.”
However, he is laser-focused on getting homeowners out of a financial jam. When working with customers, there is no room for errors.
My top priority is finding a solution that works for each person needing to sell.
When I grow up, I want to be just like my Dad. Every day I try to be more sympathetic, understanding, and kind. The world is hard to live in and is not always fair. My goal is to make it just a little bit better. That’s my mantra when we talk about your home.
How It All Started
The seeds of WeBuyHousesInDenver.org were planted when Shaun bought his first investment property with his brother – last century! “Interest rates were close to 10%, and house prices were inflated, but I still saw real estate as a real opportunity. I wanted to learn more,” says Shaun.
“My journey took me from homeowner to Physical Therapist to Medical Sales to the owner of a Medicare Accredited medical equipment company that I started. During this time I learned everything about real estate that I could.
After saving as much money as possible my wife and I (Jenn) bought our first rental in Denver, CO. We were so proud of our first Denver rental and still own it to this day! It was a mighty achievement for us.”
What Happened Next
The Great recession hit real estate hard and took a toll on all of us. But I took on a sound piece of advice from my Dad.
The Harder I Work, The Luckier I Will Get!
Jenn and I continued to work our butts off. As small business owners, we didn’t have a day off for over 5 years – let alone a vacation! But the hard work slowly paid off.
We continued to scrimp and save. We bought a rental house whenever we could afford it.
We are still buying even though house prices have skyrocketed because we are committed to Denver, the front range, and all of Colorado. Some examples of Cities we pay cash for houses in:
Sell Your House Fast in Denver
We buy houses fast for Cash in Lakewood
You can sell your house to us for cash anywhere on the Front Range or in Colorado!
Enter Dad
From a fabulous Dad and mentor to a real estate investor and business partner. Barry and Shaun have since worked together.
Initially, we focused on and specialized in Denver, Colorado. But over the years, our team and experience have grown. Today we work with homeowners all over Colorado.
Investing In The Future
As real estate investors and professional home buyers, we will continue to invest in Denver, The Front Range, and Colorado communities. We stay incredibly busy creating solutions for homeowners all over the Centennial State.
Our head office is based in Denver, The Mile High City, but with our team of experts, we strive to help homeowners all across Colorado.
When we are not busy flipping houses or buying rentals, we are out trying to live a more balanced life.
More About Shaun
My name is Shaun Martin and I'm a Colorado Cash Buyer.
My name is Shaun Martin, and I’m a home buyer in Denver, Colorado. But I think of myself as a lot more than “the guy that buys houses for cash.”
Firstly, I was born in New Zealand. I’m a kiwi – named after the bird, not the fruit :-). Below is me and Jenn at a wedding in Colorado’s High Country.
I’m a kiwi who is married to a beautiful woman named Jenn. We met on the Colorado river while learning to kayak. It was love at first site!
We both love mountain biking, skiing, and our 4 little fur babies. PLUS we are both coaches for Colorado special olympics. We coach skiing, biking, and swimming.
Colorado is our home. Colorado is amazing. Colorado gives us ample opportunity to experience life to the fullest.

More About Barry
“My parents are amazing. I owe them so much.”
Below: Barry and Val (Shaun’s mom and Dad).
My Dad's is Barry and we buy houses together.
My Dad is a hoot. It’s a shame it took so long for me to work that out. He’s the best Dad to 3 boys, an awesome husband (on some days according to Mum***), and fanatical about windsurfing.
My Dad is old school. The harder you work the luckier you get. He has worked really hard as a computer programmer. He still does this when the need is there. He’ll probably never fully retire. He loves to garden. He loves to relax in the garden and drink a coffee.

***Mum is how Mom is spelled in New Zealand.
While he still programs, he also is a real estate investor. His focus as a home buyer has also been The Mile High City – Denver, CO.
When he’s not working hard, he’s playing hard on the windsurfer. Check out the video below!
Pro Home Buyer and Windsurfer Enthusiast
My Dad is amazing. He’s pushing 70 years old, and this is him living his dream. He is so grateful for these opportunities, but he deserves them.
He loves to windsurf when he is not hard at work on the computer and helping me. And he is pretty gosh darn good. I was lucky enough to experience this with him recently.
In Our Spare Time
Jenn and I are coaches for Colorado Special Olympic Athletes. We both coach swimming, mountain biking, and skiing.
Above is our swimming team – The Barracudas! – At Colorado State Games.

Even More About Us
WARNING: This is a 2 minute read. It’s more like a diary entry than thrilling entertainment. But it is how I “accidentally” became a guy that buys houses for cash in Denver.
It’s been quite a ride really. And when I graduated from Auckland University as a Physical Therapist many years ago I would never have dreamed I would end up as a real estate investor in Denver!
The first property I purchased was a single-family home in Montbello. Montbello is on the east side near the Denver Airport – the new one (20 years new) not Stapleton! That’s how long I have been here! Long enough to know Stapleton as Denver’s airport – not as a suburb of Denver!
Our first home purchase in Denver, Colorado.
Since then I have been involved in many deals including:
Buying and selling.
Fixing and flipping.
Rehabbing and renting.
As a fixer-upper guy, I have had my share of successes and failures. It’s a tough business. As my real estate career developed I began to notice one area that gave me particular pleasure. I found an incredible amount of satisfaction in working with homeowners that needed to get out of a jamb for one reason or another.
Shaun Martin “on the tools.”
The first example was an elderly woman who owned a home in Globeville – just minutes north of downtown. For several reasons she was in a hurry to sell. She had listed the house to sell on the MLS. After about a month she received an offer. After the inspection process the buyer decided to walk away.
Another month went by and she went under contract again. This time it was the lender that shut the deal down. To qualify for a mortgage the house had to meet certain criteria. There were too many things to repair on the home. Truth be told the house was in really bad shape.
It was at this time a friend of a friend introduced me to Ann. We talked about the situation and why she needed to sell. Of particular concern was the time line (she need to sell her house fast, like really fast as 3 months had been wasted on the MLS). Secondly she needed to sell her home for cash.
She needed a cash home buyer because of the mortgage situation. She didn’t want to deal with the repairs. She wanted to sell as-is and move on with her life. I still remember her saying to me,
“Shaun I need to sell my house for cash. The bank want give any buyer a mortgage. The roofs completely shot. A re you a cash buyer?”
I remember repeating in my head: “AM I A CASH BUYER?” Then responding cool as a cucumber, “Yes Ann. I buy houses for cash. Let me take a quick look around. I’ll work out my best cash offer and see if we cant make a deal.”
That’s how I became a cash home buyer! Kind of by accident. I had to get the help of a private money lender to buy the house. But I did it! Paid 100% cash for my first house!
After we closed Ann was so grateful. AND it made me feel like I had provided a really good service. She needed to get rid of her house quickly. She couldn’t sell it the traditional way with a loan. She need someone to pay her cash. I stepped in gave her a cash offer and purchased her house.
