Weldon Hobbs

A little about Weldon

Weldon and his wife, Kristen, met as cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy and graduated. They both served in uniform, and over more than 10 military moves they learned what it's like to buy a home from far away, sell one on a deadline, and decide whether to keep a house as a rental when orders come. Years later, they chose to come back to Colorado Springs to raise their family.

Real estate was part of their lives long before it became Weldon's work. Since 2006, they've bought and sold their own homes, owned long-term and short-term rentals, and completed 1031 exchanges. That experience, as owners and landlords, shapes the advice Weldon gives today.

Together they run Team Hobbs Realty, guided by the values they've always tried to live by: character, commitment, and community. They are members of The Platinum Group, REALTORS®, Colorado Springs' #1 independent brokerage, which pairs deep local expertise with premium marketing exposure.

How Weldon works

Most people start with the house. Weldon starts by listening, using the Life → Wealth → Real Estate™ method he developed.

1. Life. What are you trying to accomplish? Where will you work, how do you want to live, and how long do you expect to stay?
2. Wealth. Does the plan make financial sense, and does it fit your longer-term goals?
3. Real estate. Then find the right home to support both.

For every home, he walks you through the full monthly cost (mortgage, property taxes, metro district taxes, HOA dues, and insurance), not just the price. His role is to advise, so you can make a fully informed decision, including whether buying, selling, or waiting makes the most sense for you right now.

Big decisions can feel overwhelming. Drawing on his background as a PMP® (Project Management Professional), Weldon helps people break them into clear, manageable steps.

He's a real estate professional, not a lender, CPA, or attorney. When your decision would benefit from one of them, he can help you connect with a qualified professional. Team Hobbs Realty receives no referral fees from the lenders, inspectors, title companies, or other service providers Weldon recommends.

Who Weldon helps

Relocating to or from Colorado Springs

Whether you're moving for a new job, to be closer to family, for a military assignment, or simply because you want to live here, the process is much the same. If you can't be here yet, Weldon tours homes with you by FaceTime and recorded video and gives you an honest perspective on the home and the neighborhood. He also helps you build a realistic plan for timing the move. If you're leaving Colorado Springs, he can help you find and personally vet an agent where you're headed.

Luxury and premium homes

Higher-end homes sell differently. There are fewer comparable sales and fewer buyers at each price point, and those buyers take their time and compare carefully. Weldon's approach has three parts:

1. Price. A pricing strategy grounded in current comparable sales, including a visual analysis of how long similar homes sat at each price.
2. Preparation. Staging and preparation so the home shows at its best from the first day.
3. Presentation. Marketing matched to the property and to the buyers most likely to want it. The Platinum Group has an in-house marketing division and is a member of Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® and its luxury marketing division, Luxury Portfolio International®, so qualifying listings can also be showcased on LuxuryPortfolio.com and shared with member firms around the world.

Military families

Families moving to or from Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Schriever Space Force Base, the Air Force Academy, and Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station. Weldon starts with your report date, your commute, and how long you expect to stay, and when orders take you away, he helps you weigh whether to sell or keep the home as a rental. If you're still stationed elsewhere, the same remote buying process described above applies.

VA buyers and sellers

Weldon isn't a loan officer. But as a Military Relocation Professional who has been through VA purchases himself, he knows what to watch for: the VA appraisal and its property requirements, seller concessions, the funding fee, and VA loan assumptions. He works alongside lenders who know VA loans well.

Seniors and downsizing

Right-sizing a longtime family home at a pace that works for you, whether you're the homeowner or an adult child helping a parent. Weldon has helped both family members and clients downsize, and he knows how overwhelming these decisions can feel. He coordinates with senior move managers, estate attorneys, CPAs, and 55+ community sales offices, and uses contract terms like post-closing occupancy and contingent or bridge-timed purchases so you only move once.

Investors

Long-term rentals, short-term rentals, and keeping a home as a rental after a move. Since 2006, Weldon and Kristen have owned long-term and short-term rentals, and he'll help you run realistic numbers before you commit.
