Cody Bergan
President & Owner
View bio →Family-owned since 1961
In 1961, World War II veteran Wally Johnson opened a small real estate office in Denver built on hard work and honest service. In 1980, his son-in-law Jay Bergan — a Denver native and CPA — took the reins and grew it into one of the metro's most respected property management firms. Today Jay's son Cody Bergan, who started answering the office phones at age 12, leads the company as its third-generation owner.
Sixty-plus years later, we manage 700+ properties across the Denver metro — and we still treat every rental like one of our own.
From one office in 1961 to 700+ properties under management — a Denver family business, three generations strong.
