Community-voted recognition honors the Castle Rock family real estate team with 780+ transactions, $410M+ in closed sales and 160+ five-star reviews.

CASTLE ROCK, CO, UNITED STATES, August 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Thayer Group, a family-owned real estate team based in Castle Rock and affiliated with Keller Williams Action Realty, has been voted Best Real Estate Team/Company in Castle Rock in Colorado Community Media’s 2026 Best of the Best awards.

The community-voted recognition carries particular meaning for the Thayer family. Steve and Susan Thayer have called Castle Rock home since 1998, raising both of their sons in the community while building their family, careers and real estate business here. Today, their son Cooper works alongside them as part of The Thayer Group.

“Susan and I moved to Castle Rock in 1998, raised both of our sons here, built our business here and have watched this community grow and change for nearly three decades,” Steve Thayer said. “Being recognized by the people of Castle Rock means a great deal to our family. We are incredibly grateful to the clients, friends and neighbors who have trusted us over the years and who took the time to vote for The Thayer Group.”

Founded in 2008, The Thayer Group has helped close more than 780 residential real estate transactions representing more than $410 million in closed sales volume. The team has completed transactions across 36+ Colorado communities and has earned more than 160 five-star client reviews.

While The Thayer Group serves buyers and sellers throughout Douglas County, the Denver metropolitan area and communities across Colorado’s Front Range, Castle Rock has remained at the center of the team’s business.

The team represents clients across a wide range of residential transactions, including traditional home sales and purchases, luxury homes, new construction, relocation, investment properties, first-time home purchases, estates and inherited property.

The Thayers’ connection to Castle Rock extends beyond their real estate practice.

Susan Thayer has been involved with the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce for more than two decades and currently serves on the Community Board of Directors for AdventHealth Castle Rock Hospital. She is an Owner and Broker Associate of The Thayer Group and an owner of Keller Williams Action Realty.

Steve Thayer has more than 18 years of residential real estate experience and has held leadership positions at the local and national levels of the profession. From 2011 through 2026, he served as Owner and Managing Broker of Keller Williams Action Realty in Castle Rock, where he oversaw more than 4,900 real estate sales representing more than $2.3 billion in sales volume. He remains an owner of the brokerage.

Steve has also served on the Board of Directors of the National Association of REALTORS^® and as President of the Denver Metro Association of REALTORS^®. He was named DMAR REALTOR^® of the Year in 2021 and holds a Certificate in Negotiation Mastery from Harvard Business School Online.

Cooper Thayer grew up in Castle Rock and now works alongside Steve and Susan as a Broker Associate with The Thayer Group. He also serves as Chief Market Strategist for the Keller Williams Colorado Region and as Treasurer of the Denver Metro Association of REALTORS^® in 2026, with scheduled leadership roles as President-Elect in 2027 and President in 2028.

The Thayer Group has developed an especially significant transaction history in The Meadows, one of Castle Rock’s largest residential communities. An analysis of REcolorado MLS records ranks The Thayer Group No. 1 in The Meadows by both total transactions and total sales volume over the team’s analyzed period beginning in 2010.

For the Thayer family, however, the Colorado Community Media recognition represents something different from transaction statistics or professional credentials.

“We have lived here for 28 years. We raised our children here. These are the schools, businesses, neighborhoods and people that have been part of our family’s life for decades,” Susan Thayer said. “We do not take it lightly when someone in our own community chooses to recommend or recognize us.”

The Thayer Group plans to continue serving buyers and sellers throughout Castle Rock, Douglas County and the surrounding Denver metropolitan area while maintaining the family-run structure that has defined the business since its founding.

“We are proud of the numbers because they represent a lot of experience, but ultimately there is a person or a family behind every one of those transactions,” Steve Thayer said. “Our goal has always been to give people good advice, communicate clearly, negotiate effectively and take care of the details all the way through closing. Being voted Best of the Best in the community we call home is something our entire family is very thankful for.”
