Wanda Ford and Kathryn Fountain are a trusted and highly respected real estate team operating under LIV Sotheby’s International Realty in Colorado. This mother and daughter partnership has built something most agents spend entire careers trying to achieve: a reputation rooted in trust, steady leadership, and genuine client care.

Their partnership reflects a thoughtful balance of perspective. Wanda has spent her career working through competitive markets, shifting conditions, and evolving neighborhoods, developing a reputation for thoughtful strategy and steady guidance. Kathryn complements this with more than 15 years of real estate experience of her own, along with modern tools, responsive communication, and strategic marketing expertise that brings a fresh, results-driven edge to every listing.

A Client Experience Built on Clarity

“We prioritize thoughtful communication and make sure our clients always understand what’s happening and what comes next,” they explained. “From the first conversation to the moment you hold your keys, our focus is creating clarity, calm, and the confidence of having a trusted advocate in your corner.”

Blending Experience with Modern Execution

Many real estate teams lean heavily in one direction, rooted in tradition or driven by trend. Ford Fountain takes a more balanced approach, pairing seasoned insight with contemporary execution. Their process combines strategic planning, strong negotiation, and proactive problem-solving so nothing is left to chance.

“We’re not just helping people buy and sell,” they said. “We’re advising clients through major decisions with preparation, strategy, and the confidence that comes from having the right team beside them.”

Understanding What Clients Actually Need

For many clients, the biggest challenge is uncertainty. They face significant financial and life decisions and want to know they are making the right move. Questions around market timing, pricing strategy, and long-term value can create hesitation. Add the emotional attachment to a home and the complexity of negotiations, and it can quickly feel overwhelming.

Wanda and Kathryn recognize that what their clients truly seek is not more information, but clarity, steady leadership, and the reassurance of being fully supported throughout the process.

Industry Recognition and Record Sales

The team has earned recognition in the top 1.5 percent of real estate teams nationwide by RealTrends Verified. They were named a Top Small Team by Volume on the 2025 RealTrends Verified list and have received the Five Star Professional Award every year since 2012. They have also repeatedly earned the SMDRA 5 Carat Award and the 5280 Black Diamond and Double Black Award.

Their work has been featured in real estate media outlets, including coverage of a record-breaking sale in The Village at Castle Pines that ranks as the second-highest priced sale in Castle Rock history.

Relationships Over Rankings

Wanda and Kathryn are quick to point out that their most meaningful achievement is not the awards. It is the long-term relationships they have built. Clients return through multiple life transitions and refer friends and family because they know what to expect: preparation, integrity, and care.

Giving Back to the Community

Beyond their work with clients, the team is known for how they show up in their community. Each of their signature events is paired with a philanthropic initiative supporting causes such as the Children’s Hospital, Disabled American Veterans, and New Story, a nonprofit that builds homes and strengthens families.

Looking Ahead

What sets this season apart for Ford Fountain is how they are expanding beyond traditional brokerage into a more strategic, client-centered experience. In a market where uncertainty runs high, their focus on leadership, preparation, and relationship-driven results continues to resonate.

“We’ve always believed our role goes far beyond the sale. It’s a privilege to guide our clients through one of life’s most meaningful decisions while building relationships that continue long after the closing table.”

For Wanda and Kathryn, the formula is simple: legacy experience, modern execution, and one team fully committed to every client they serve.
