Monument Real Estate

Tri-Lakes Living Between Colorado Springs & Castle Rock

Monument, Colorado is one of the Front Range’s best-kept secrets — a small, close-knit Tri-Lakes community nestled at the foot of Mount Herman, just 20 minutes north of Colorado Springs and 45 minutes south of Castle Rock.

With large wooded lots, newer construction, mountain views, mature ponderosa pines, and easy I-25 access, Monument feels worlds away from dense suburbs while staying connected to the Front Range.

Meet Jason

Owner and Managing Broker Solid Oak Realty, Inc.

The word Home is deeply meaningful to me, and I believe that it’s deeply meaningful to you too. It will, or has been, your place of rest, memories, challenges, growth, and joy. Whether you’re buying or selling your home, it’s a transition time in your life that requires care and thoughtfulness. 

I can relate with this as I moved 7 times in 7 years. My first career was serving the US Army as an AH-64 Apache helicopter pilot. I had the honor and privilege to fly missions and lead teams in South Korea, Afghanistan, and Eastern Europe. 

Although I left home a lot, I always looked forward to coming home. 

To me, real estate is more than a career, It’s a passion. 

The professionalism required to fly, fight, and lead, is the same professionalism I bring to real estate. 

I started Solid Oak Realty to deliver a custom experience to every client that trusts us with their Home. Whether it’s your first home or dream home, we believe in a custom experience, every time.

Jason from Solid Oak Realty really set the standard for all of my real estate transactions in the future. Coming from an Army background himself, Jason was able to effectively communicate my timeline and concerns to all parties during the sale of my home. If you are looking for someone to trust with the purchase or sale of a home, Solid Oak is your place. Will recommend to all family and friends in the Colorado Springs area.
