For Carla Braddy, Broker-Owner of Coming Home Realty, LLC, on the other hand, 2022 proved to be one her brightest years in real estate to date. Born and raised in Colorado, Carla’s passion for her community played an essential role in her decision to start her own real estate company. With a deep-seated belief that home ownership not only promotes re-connection, rejuvenation, and creativity, it is essential for improving quality life, Carla launched Coming Home Realty in 2016.

Truly embracing the concept of empowering others and her mantra of abundance, Carla set out to build a team of dynamic individuals who shared her passion for helping others. Enlisting more than 30 years of combined real estate experience, Coming Home Realty, LLC has attracted some of the best real estate agents from across Southern Colorado including Nick Sartori, Kim Heath, Ashley Malcom, Kathryn Johanna Nabors, Dawn White and Kristi Meyers. 

“I’ve been fortunate to work with so many talented agents over the years since starting Coming Home Realty, LLC,” said Carla Braddy, Broker-Owner, Coming Home Realty, LLC. “We’re committed to helping people reach their full potential and find their joy. This starts with a home to call their own.”

With this approach to real estate transactions and life in general, combined with her tremendous admiration for Canon City, Carla was recently named Best Real Estate Agent of 2022 by the Canon City Daily Record Readers’ Choice Awards – a title she has earned for two consecutive years and counting.   

“I’m incredibly grateful for this recognition! At Coming Home Realty, we believe that homes are sanctuaries of connectedness and renewal. Our commitment is to authentically listen to and learn from our clients while offering our skills, knowledge, and professional network to create opportunities to buy and sell properties, all with an attitude of respectful kindness flavored with positivity,” added Braddy.

In addition to her role as broker-owner of Coming Home Realty, LLC, Carla is also the owner of The Hive, Canon City’s premier coworking concept. In her spare time, Carla fully embraces her Colorado lifestyle with an emphasis on participating in outdoor activities such as hiking and skiing as well as more contemplative hobbies including knitting, reading, yoga, and music appreciation. 

Likewise, having and being a good neighbor is important when opening and operating a business.  When we opened Coming Home Realty in Sept., 2017, and, its sister business, The Hive in Downtown Canon City, in Nov., we chose our physical site with the commitment that we would try to be the best downtown neighbors possible.

Ways we’ve tried to meet that commitment include:

• Sponsoring First Friday art tours every month;
• Participating in Small Business Saturday, the Christmas Parade, Business After Hours events, and the annual Chocolate Walk;
• Offering classes through the Small Business Development Center for other small business owners;
• Opening our conference room to many local non-profit and for-profit businesses;
• Buying closing gifts from downtown merchants;
• Taking clients to downtown restaurants for lunch meetings;
• Storing the Queen’s float while it was under construction for the Blossom Committee and racing beds for the local cancer charity, Orchard of Hope;
• Promoting Hive members’ businesses to encourage more downtown commerce and walk-in traffic;
• Cultivating relationships with our fellow downtown business neighbors.

The only way to revitalize Canon City’s downtown is to influence one person at a time.  With a front line seat, we’ve been impressed with how many people participate in major community events such as the Blossom Festival parade and Flashback on Main Street.  We also commend our neighbors, in particular  Dave and Lynda Lambert of Canon Signature Mortgage, for their generous community outreach during numerous annual events.  They are good role models for us of what it looks like to be a positive corporate downtown, civic-minded neighbor.

As a business, Coming Home Realty offers quality services and is in authentic relationship with clients, vendors, fellow businesses, and citizens in general.

We encourage you to stop by 729 Main St. to see our location for yourself and meet us (Carla and Jill) in person.

A good neighbor in downtown Canon City, CO
