About
Phillip Booghier, Global Real Estate Advisor
I am a Colorado native, a business owner for more than 25 years, and, since 2020, a real estate advisor with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty in Castle Rock. I represent buyers and sellers of luxury homes, land, ranch, and equestrian property across Douglas County, Elbert County, and the Denver metro. The short version of why clients hire me: I bring the judgment of someone who has built businesses, built buildings, and bought and sold real estate for himself, to people making one of the largest financial decisions of their lives.
Before real estate
I spent more than 25 years starting, building, and running businesses across several industries. I owned cafes, managed five restaurants, and designed and built restaurant spaces from the ground up. Along the way I bought and sold homes and investment properties of my own, including fix-and-flips, and handled substantial commercial real estate, always as the principal on my own deals. At the peak I was responsible for more than 100 long-term employees and for everything that comes with that: finance, contracts, marketing, logistics, and the people. I have been through rapid growth and through downturns, and I learned what each one does to a balance sheet and to a negotiation.
That background is not a footnote to how I practice real estate. It is the practice. Reading a contract, valuing an asset, structuring an offer, holding a position when the other side pushes, knowing what a renovation will actually cost: those are business skills, and I use them every day for clients.
Why real estate
I came to real estate in 2020 after years of doing it for myself, because I saw an industry full of doing the minimum and believed there was room for an alternative. My aim was to bring the standards of a well-run business to residential brokerage: preparation before exposure, analysis before advice, and follow-through after the closing. I joined LIV Sotheby’s International Realty because its platform, from the global network and the media placements to the licensed transaction team behind every file, matches the level of service I wanted to deliver.
How I work
I treat every property as an asset and every client as a principal. For sellers, that means a program done in the right order: read the market, establish fair market value, prepare the home, capture it properly, launch into the window of opportunity, advertise where the buyers actually are, and negotiate from strength. For buyers, it means touring with a construction eye, pulling the records myself (permits, wells, septic, special taxing districts, surveys, easements), and building an offer strategy on data rather than emotion. I have caught unpermitted work, wells that did not match the listing, and tax districts that would have doubled a client’s bill. Going beyond standard due diligence is the cornerstone of how I work, not a slogan.
The details are on the Sell, Buyer Services, and Why Work With Phillip pages.
What I specialize in
Luxury residential across Douglas County and the Denver metro; land, ranch, and equestrian property from the Douglas County horse country east through Elbert County and into the foothills; new construction, where the contract, the builder, and the lot each deserve their own review; and investment property, which is where I started. I hold the Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist designation at the Guild and Elite levels, along with the Residential Remodel Specialist and Residential Construction Certification designations, and I am a member of the Luxury Real Estate Board of Regents and the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing.

Off the clock
I have lived in Colorado my whole life and I spend as much of it outdoors as I can: camping, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, and golf, and time with family. It is also, not incidentally, why I understand what my clients are looking for when they ask about a ranch, a horse property, or a lot backing to open space.
What clients say
Phillip made us feel like we were his only client.
His strong work ethic, honesty and commitment to his clients earned our respect, trust and friendship.
I have worked with a number of Realtors during my lifetime, but Phillip’s stands apart from all the rest of them.
