MEET THE TEAM | KARI HARGER | SHAWN HARGER | SAM ALDERN | BLAZE MICKELSON | DESIGNATIONS | TESTIMONIALS

The Harger Home Team at C3 Real Estate Solutions started based on a simple philosophy... RELATIONSHIPS MATTER. ​When deciding to enter the real estate world as a team we discussed how we wanted to run our business.  It was quickly obvious we wanted to do more than just help buy and sell houses.  We know a real estate transaction is a life changing experience and our goal is to make sure every client that works with us has a positive experience.  The best way we can ensure that happens is by making sure you know we are more than just your real estate agent.  We are your friend and partner. We are there for you and will provide you with any and all help we can possibly give.  

​Whether providing basic real estate advice and support, connecting you with inspectors, painters, lenders or just giving some good restaurant advice - we are here for you.  If you  want it we will provide it for you.  We also believe that our relationship should last beyond your closing.  Most agents leave the closing and then you never hear from them again.  We will continue to check in on you and make sure all is well.  Our door will remain open and you are free to contact us with any need, real estate related or not, you may have.

Meet Our Team Members

Shawn Harger
Managing Broker

I am the youngest of three brothers and grew up in Arvada, Colorado. As a Colorado native I have always enjoyed our beautiful mountains and love to camp and hike. I am proud to say I attended Colorado State University (GO RAMS!). After moving to Fort Collins for school I really fell in love with the area and did not want to leave. I have a passion for kids and coaching and have always been on a sideline somewhere. I was a football coach for 16 years and have also coached track, basketball, soccer, volleyball and wrestling from the youth to the high school level. Read More

Kari Harger
Broker Associate

I am a Colorado native, born and raised in Broomfield. Being the youngest of seven I was always ready to grow up and run with the older kids. My parents taught us that hard work and effort pays off and to never bend your ethics and morals to get something done. The right thing is always the right thing no matter how hard it seems in the moment. I continue to live my life with that same thought process today. I met Shawn in high school and later joined him at Colorado State University. After we married we made the decision to make Fort Collins home and raise our family here. What a great choice! We have four beautiful children, Cole, Garrett, Kylie, and Louden. Read More

Sam Aldern
Broker Associate

I am fortunate to be a native of this great state of Colorado! I was born and raised in Denver, but I have lived in Fort Collins for 42 years. My wife, Sandy, and I raised our four sons here. Our wonderful sons and three grandsons live nearby, either in Denver or Fort Collins. It has been my pleasure to work with C3 Real Estate Solutions since 2019, and I am honored to be in the Harger Home Team. My former professional career was in education. I taught 6th grade for 21 years and was the principal for 12 more years, all at Beattie Elementary here in Fort Collins. Read More

Blaze Mickelson
Broker Associate

I first got involved with real estate when I bought a few small investment properties in college, and eventually my first home at 21 years old. I graduated with a B.S. degree of Management Entrepreneurship, and have been working as a personal trainer/nutrition coach throughout. I have a passion for helping others and will always be there for my clients 24/7! Read More

Emily Feilmeier
Licensed Assistant

I am a Colorado native but have moved all over the US. No matter where I go, Northern Colorado is always the place I come back to and the place my husband and I call home. We recently have gone through the process of buying our first house in Severance which we have been enjoying renovating and turning into a home. We were also recently joined by our new goldendoodle Millie who is spoiled with hundreds of toys but still prefers your shoes.
 
When my husband and I aren’t working we spend our time playing volleyball, serving at our church, working out, cooking together, and exploring local breweries and restaurants. We love the craft beer culture and have a goal of visiting every one of the long, ever growing, list of breweries in Northern Colorado. We love being a part of this community and everything that comes with it.
 
My career in real estate started a few years after graduating college. I went to school at Colorado Christian University and majored in Business Administration and Management. When I graduated, I moved to Austin, Texas to begin my career in hotel management. It was then that I met my husband and moved back to Colorado. I knew that my passion wasn’t in management so I went searching for something that I would love and landed at C3 Real Estate. I worked for a year as an administrative assistant before starting the work on my license and am now very excited to join this team.

  "My wife Jenna and I had the pleasure of working with Shawn and Kari Harger through the process of purchasing our new home in August of 2015. From the first introduction all the way through closing, both of them were very involved and professional. They listened intently to our needs and desires while searching for a new home. Each listing and showing they provided to us met our exact criteria, thus making it very easy to make a final selection. Even through the challenging market of Fort Collins, Colorado they were on top of every detail..."

  "Whether you are buying or selling, you won’t regret working with The Harger team. From start to finish both Shawn and Kari are unwavering in commitment to whom they represent. Knowledgeable, helpful, compassionate, fair, and trustworthy are just a few words to describe their character. I’ve worked them on four properties now and there’s a reason I keep coming back to them." - linnbecky

  "Shawn and Kari are truly amazing at what they do and they do it with excellence and a high value for building relationships. Selling your home and buying another is an emotional experience and we gave them a real challenge...sell two homes, ours and the home of our son and his wife and then buy a larger house together with lots of items on the new house checklist for two families to be able to thrive in, AND sync all this up so no one is living in a motel waiting for everything to work out. Also, this had to be done in a pretty tight time frame! They did it flawlessly! We got the prices we needed for our homes and found a perfect new home that we absolutely love." - dmhollen

  "The Hargers were so amazing! They listened to everything I wanted to do and created a game plan to help me sell my home. They were very knowledgeable and professional! They made sure I was knowledgeable about everything every step of the way. Their ideas and marketing were on point and my house sold fast. What a great experience and I highly recommend them!" - bmclaughlin
