The Team Advantage

The Principal Team’s Collaborative Approach Delivers Superior Results

When choosing a Denver area real estate agent, you face an important decision: work with a solo agent or a team? At The Principal Team, David Lampe and Tom Grant work as an integrated partnership, providing advantages that solo agents simply can’t match. Our collaborative approach means you get more expertise, better availability, and stronger representation throughout your home buying or selling journey.

Always Available When You Need Us

Real estate doesn’t operate on a 9-to-5 schedule, and opportunities don’t wait for anyone’s availability.

Immediate Response Capability: When you find a home you love on a Saturday evening or need to ask a critical question during your lunch break, someone from our team is available. Solo agents have personal lives, vacations, and other commitments that can delay responses at crucial moments.

No Coverage Gaps: Solo agents take vacations, get sick, and have family emergencies. When your solo agent is unavailable, your transaction doesn’t pause—but your representation effectively does. With our team, you’re never left without expert guidance, even during holidays, illnesses, or personal time off.

Simultaneous Coverage: In competitive Denver markets, timing matters. While one of us shows you properties, the other can research additional options, follow up on inspection issues, or handle urgent matters with lenders and title companies. Solo agents must choose between competing priorities; we handle them all simultaneously.

Extended Service Hours: Between David and Tom, we provide coverage across more hours each day and throughout weekends. Your real estate needs don’t fit neatly into business hours, and neither does our availability.

Double the Expertise, Perspective, and Experience

Two experienced professionals bring significantly more knowledge and insight to your transaction than any single agent can provide.

Complementary Skill Sets: David and Tom each bring unique strengths, experiences, and perspectives to every transaction. What one might overlook, the other catches. Where one excels at negotiation tactics, the other might offer superior market analysis. You benefit from both skill sets rather than the limitations of a single agent’s expertise.

Collaborative Problem-Solving: Complex real estate challenges require creative solutions. Two minds working together generate more options, identify more potential issues, and develop better strategies than any solo agent working alone. When obstacles arise—and they often do—you have two experienced professionals developing solutions.

Broader Market Knowledge: While solo agents know their market well, two agents have exposure to twice as many transactions, neighborhoods, and scenarios. David and Tom’s combined experience means deeper insights into Denver’s diverse communities, property types, and market dynamics.

Enhanced Negotiation Power: In negotiations, having two professionals strategizing together creates significant advantages. One can take a more aggressive stance while the other maintains positive relationships, or we can tag-team difficult negotiations to maintain momentum while protecting your interests.

Built-In Quality Control and Error Prevention

Real estate transactions involve complex contracts, tight deadlines, and significant financial implications. Mistakes can be costly.

Double-Checking Everything: Every contract, document, and important decision gets reviewed by two experienced professionals rather than one. This built-in quality control catches errors, identifies potential issues, and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

Verification of Critical Details: From offer terms to closing deadlines, having two people verify important details dramatically reduces the risk of costly mistakes. While solo agents must catch their own errors, we catch each other’s, providing an extra layer of protection.

Accountability and Standards: Working as a team creates natural accountability. We maintain high standards because we’re accountable not just to you, but to each other. This partnership ensures consistent quality and attention to detail throughout your transaction.

Deadline Management: Missing deadlines in real estate contracts can cost you earnest money or even your home purchase. With two professionals tracking timelines and responsibilities, critical dates never get missed due to oversight or competing priorities.

Superior Market Coverage and Opportunity Access

Finding the right property requires extensive market monitoring and quick action when opportunities arise.

Expanded Network Reach: David and Tom’s combined professional networks provide access to more off-market opportunities, coming-soon listings, and insider information about properties before they hit the MLS. Two agents’ connections are exponentially more valuable than one’s.

Simultaneous Property Research: While one of us tours homes with you, the other can research additional properties, contact listing agents, and gather intelligence about upcoming listings. This parallel processing means you see more opportunities faster than with a solo agent’s sequential approach.

Comprehensive Market Monitoring: Two professionals monitoring Denver’s market means better coverage of new listings, price changes, and emerging opportunities across more neighborhoods and property types than any solo agent can effectively track.

Enhanced Support During Stressful Situations

Buying or selling a home ranks among life’s most stressful experiences. Having two professionals supporting you makes a measurable difference.

Emotional Support and Reassurance: Real estate transactions create anxiety, uncertainty, and stress. Having two experienced professionals providing perspective, reassurance, and guidance helps you navigate emotional moments with greater confidence.

Multiple Perspectives on Decisions: Major decisions benefit from multiple viewpoints. When you’re uncertain about an offer, a property’s condition, or negotiation strategy, David and Tom provide different perspectives that help you make informed, confident choices.

Tag-Team Approach to Challenges: When negotiations get tough or complications arise, our tag-team approach prevents burnout and maintains positive momentum. If one conversation becomes adversarial, the other team member can step in with fresh energy and a different approach.

Divided Attention to Details: While one of us focuses on your immediate needs—showing properties, discussing offers, or attending inspections—the other handles behind-the-scenes work like coordinating with lenders, reviewing documents, and managing timelines. You receive comprehensive attention without either of us becoming overwhelmed.

Practical Advantages That Matter Daily

Beyond strategic benefits, our team approach provides practical daily advantages throughout your transaction.

Flexible Meeting Schedules: Coordinating schedules with one agent can be challenging. With two team members, we accommodate your schedule more easily, whether you need evening showings, early morning meetings, or weekend consultations.

Immediate Backup for Time-Sensitive Issues: When inspection issues arise, appraisals come back low, or last-minute complications threaten your closing, you need immediate attention. If one of us is tied up with another client or commitment, the other provides immediate support without delay.

Specialized Task Management: One of us can focus on property showings while the other handles offer preparation. One attends your inspection while the other coordinates with lenders. This division of labor provides more thorough service than a solo agent juggling all responsibilities simultaneously.

Continuity and Consistency: Life happens—agents change careers, move away, or retire. With a team, your relationship with The Principal Team continues even if one member’s circumstances change. You’re investing in an ongoing relationship, not dependence on a single individual.

The Principal Team Difference

Our collaborative approach reflects our “More Service. Lower Fees.” philosophy. You receive:

Two Experienced Professionals: David Lampe and Tom Grant’s combined expertise, networks, and market knowledge working exclusively for your benefit.

Seamless Coordination: We function as one integrated unit, sharing information instantly and maintaining consistent communication with you throughout your transaction.

Common Questions About Our Team Approach

“Will I get confused working with two agents?” Not at all. You’ll work mostly with just one of us, but the other will be helping in the background. We coordinate seamlessly and communicate clearly about who’s handling what. You’ll quickly appreciate having two professionals rather than finding it confusing.

“Does this cost more than a solo agent?” No—in fact, our commission structure is typically lower than solo agents charge while providing significantly more service and expertise.

“How do you handle disagreements about strategy?” We discuss different perspectives with you openly, providing you with the insights behind various approaches so you can make informed decisions. Our collaborative process means you get better-considered strategies, not conflicting advice.
