OUR STORY
How we went from $40 to the top-rated commercial real estate brokerage in Colorado.
Our Story
Moishe and Dysia Sonenreich came to America in 1950, escaping Nazi Germany. It was a dark, difficult journey, but they were determined to start a new life. They arrived in Denver, Colorado, with $40 and a baby.
Their first few years were tough as they adjusted to their new lives and learned English. Moishe worked in a meatpacking facility while Dysia stayed home and raised four children. Moishe Sonenreich knew there was generational wealth to be created in America, and they persevered and eventually thrived. Moishe had his eyes set on real estate.
It started with a duplex. The family lived on one side while they rented out the other. They then shifted to motels. Owning and managing Motels was a difficult way to make a living. It required long hours and a lot of upkeep, but it fed the family and allowed Moishe to build.
In 1984 Moishe bought the family’s first warehouse, and little did he know it would change the family forever.
Izzy started in commercial real estate in 1976. He was only 22 years old when he started in the industry. Izzy worked with his father for a few years and then struck out independently. He started buying and syndicating warehouses and land and investing in real estate. Izzy syndicated over 1600 acres of ground in the Denver Metro area and continues to do so. He amassed a significant industrial real estate portfolio in Denver, which the Warehouse Hotline still leases and manages to this day.
At just 22 years old, Aviva became an integral part of her family’s business, driven as ever to prove herself. Aviva noticed a clear gap in how Commercial Real Estate utilized the internet. By quickly adopting modern marketing methods like automation, data analysis, and social media strategies, she greatly expanded the company’s reach like ever before. At the same time, the internet was changing not only how commercial real estate worked but also how people wanted it.
