ALANNA SPEES, REALTOR®, PhD
I’m Alanna Spees, and I have been an actively involved member of the Grand Valley for the past 10+ years and a licensed REALTOR® since 2018. And yes, I have a PhD (in Immunology if you’re curious) which has helped me become the person I am today. I’m also a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a gardener, a swimmer, a trail-runner, a bit of a coffee snob, and a solidly-intermediate skier.
I come from a career in science but started dabbling in real estate investing as a financial strategy. Over the years, I have grown several successful real estate investment companies, and as a result, I made the choice to dedicate my ongoing career to residential real estate development for myself and my clients alike. I bring over a decade of business experience to my clients, and chose to represent buyers, sellers and investors. More than anything, I believe in value-based service that brings together expertise, guidance and action to ensure that all my clients can make the best real estate decisions.
A Different Kind of Team
When we choose to work together, we enter into a relationship that’s similar to becoming business partners. My commitment to you is advocating for your best interest always, education and mentorship. If real estate seems overwhelming, and you have questions or uncertainty you are not alone. One of the things that my clients repeatedly tell me is that I am patient with their process. I spend as much time as it takes to help my clients not only reach their goals, but feel good about their journey. Education is empowerment, and I work diligently to make sure that my clients are empowered.
A Different kind of Real Estate Transaction
I do things a little differently when it comes to real estate, and my practices consistently get MORE for my clients. I believe in homes Sold For More™ instead of JUST sold.
The Homes Sold For More™ process is tried and true and has been tested for over 20+ years in active markets. What’s this strategic process? I will walk you step by step through strategic planning and preparation that will give you the upper hand when it comes to one of the most delicate things in real estate: negotiations. I help guide you as we prepare to give you that upper hand throughout your transaction.
In addition to strategic business practice, my personal beliefs help drive my client’s success forward. Integrity, honesty and trust are the foundation of my business (and life) practices.
But, don’t take my word for it. Take it from my clients. Please read some of my reviews below.
A Minimalistic Approach to MORE
I can’t claim to boast a fanfare of pomp and circumstance, nor like to be the loudest one in the room. I am more of a minimalist when it comes to life and business practices. I like to keep things simple, straightforward and intentional. When it comes to homes Sold For More™, the process is anything but luck. Strategy, procedure, teamwork and action help prepare you and your home for the most success in our market!

“Working with Alanna has been a transformative experience for us! After dealing with several disappointing Realtors in the past, we were feeling disheartened. Then we met Alanna, and everything changed. From our very first conversation, she took the time to understand our vision for an equine-assisted autism sensory farm. She didn’t just hear us; she truly saw our dream.
Alanna went above and beyond in every way possible. Her extensive knowledge of the market, coupled with her passion for helping families and communities, made a significant difference. She tirelessly researched properties that would suit our unique needs, and her attention to detail ensured that no stone was left unturned.
What amazed us was Alanna’s unwavering support. She navigated challenges with professionalism and kept us informed every step of the way, making us feel valued and understood. It was clear she was genuinely invested in our dream, treating our goals as her own.
What truly set Alanna apart was her commitment to my happiness. She treated the search as if it were her own dream home, tirelessly exploring options until we found the perfect fit. When challenges arose, she tackled them with professionalism and grace, ensuring I felt supported and confident throughout the process.
Thanks to Alanna, we have found the perfect home and location to bring our vision to life. We are now on the brink of opening our equine-assisted autism sensory farm, and we couldn’t have done it without her! If you’re looking for a Realtor who is not only knowledgeable but also compassionate and dedicated, we highly recommend Alanna. She is a true partner in turning dreams into reality!” – Stephanie Tangreen

MY TOP STRENGTHS
To help you understand a bit more about me, I like to share my top strengths according to the StrengthsFinders® Gallup Assessment.
Deliberative
I am best described by the serious care I take in making decisions or choices. I anticipate obstacles and complications. The HSFM process appeals to my deliberative nature because it creates solutions to potential problems before we even get there. I am drawn to working with clients and colleagues alike to help solve problems before they happen. If and when we DO run into a hiccup, the deliberative part of me gives great care to revisit and reshape how we can do it better in the future.
Achiever
I work hard and possess a great deal of stamina. I take satisfaction in being productive, and setting timelines and goals to work towards achievement. Any achiever type knows that this strength is a double edged sword. I love making progress. I also have to remind myself to slow down and savor the journey (and try to get 8 hours of sleep a night). The achiever in me rejoices in walking alongside a client during their journey to home ownership, home sale or first investment.
Learner
I have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. The process of learning and improving excites me. The learner part of my strengths is what originally drew me to science and academics. There is a place for learning for the sake of learning. There is joy in applying this learning strength to make others lives better. When we work together, I like to start conversations with questions. I like to listen to people talk about themselves, their goals, their accomplishments, their hesitations and their hopes. Learning is a welcoming gateway to beginning a successful journey.
Developer
I recognize and cultivate the potential in others. I spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from the evidence of progress. I come from a long line of teachers in my family. It seems to come naturally, and I figured it was just the nurture from my environment. My developer strength helps me connect with my clients to develop their knowledge and empowerment not just through their transaction process, but with a leveled-up understanding of how real estate works. This is knowledge they take with them forever.
Relator
I enjoy close relationships with others. I find deep satisfaction in working hard with friends and teammates to achieve goals. What’s life without human connection? I’m not an extrovert, but I gain tremendous personal purpose from developing meaningful, lasting relationships with my clients and colleagues. My hope is that our relationship changes their lives for the better, as it does the same for me.
“I started planning my retirement and relocation to Colorado way back in November 2023 and chose Alanna Spees as my broker. Alanna was so very helpful, answered all my questions, and guided me in the process of finding my “forever home” from afar. It was a seamless process! Alanna truly shared in my excitement of this new adventure and I LOVED working with her..” – Jill Markley
