More about Doug Hutchins:  Growing up on a family farm in western Kansas, Doug Hutchins learned about hard work at an early age. At age 10 he started working on the farm doing small jobs and by age 13 he was driving a tractor. His father engrained in him a strong work ethic and a philosophy of achieving excellence in anything he does. Throughout high school he excelled at football and academics, which gave him the opportunity to attend and play football for Colorado State University. In college he achieved excellence in the classroom and graduated Summa Cum Laude. He obtained his CPA after college and worked for one of the top accounting firms in the United States before returning to graduate school at the prestigious Anderson School of Business at UCLA.

In 2003, Doug took on the challenge of real estate. ™Real estate and real estate investing had always interested me, so in 2003 I decided to become a residential real estate broker and pursue my passion for real estate.™ The same dedication and pursuit of excellence that Doug was taught from an early age also applies to his real estate career. It is quickly apparent when you start discussing real estate with Doug that he is not the average real estate agent. ™I believe knowledge and dedication to serving my clients are the two critical factors for success in real estate.™ He established a mission statement early in his career that guides his everyday actions: ™To provide superior real estate services to my clients by closely listening to their needs, developing the highest level of trust and providing them the information and expertise needed to complete a successful real estate transaction.™
