ABOUT SHADI

I’m Shadi Bee—chef, ethnomycologist, regenerative farmer, and now licensed real estate agent.
I’ve completed more than 18 real estate transactions of my own, including flips, farm properties, remodels, and land deals. I’m not here to sell you a house—I’m here to advocate for you.

My background includes:

• 15 years as a private chef and culinary entrepreneur

• Former hemp and regenerative farmer in unincorporated Boulder County

• Founder of multiple mission-driven companies

• M.A. in Cultural Anthropology with a focus on sustainability

• A deep belief that real estate can be a tool for empowerment, security, and generational stability

I’m not your typical agent. I’m the person you call when you want strategy, discernment, intelligence, and someone who actually understands land, water, county regs, remodel costs, and how to build a thriving home life.

My Unique Niches

This is where I’m different.

1. Unincorporated Boulder County Specialist

I’ve lived, farmed, and owned 1-acre, 2-acre, and 30-acre properties in unincorporated Boulder County.
I offer real-world expertise in:

• Water rights

• Easements

• Wells

• Septic

• Mineral rights

• Agricultural zoning

• County processes, exemptions & approvals

• Regenerative farming setups

• Homesteading infrastructure

If you want to buy or sell land in Boulder County, you want someone who has actually done it—not just someone who has read about it.

2. Remodels & Transformations

I’ve flipped multiple homes, overseen full remodels, and know construction, budgeting, and project flow intimately.

Notable Projects:

• 1-acre property → full remodel + hemp farm buildout

• 30-acre 1865 historic farmhouse → complete revitalization + 5-acre hemp cultivation

• 2-acre modern remodel

• North Highlands Denver → stunning transformation of an older home

I know what repairs actually cost, what upgrades will actually increase value, and how to help buyers and sellers make strategic, confident decisions.

• Sustainable home design

• Low-toxin living

• Farm-to-table lifestyles

Real estate can support the life you want to live—your land, your home, your food, your values.

5. Radon, Water, and Environmental Awareness

Because I’ve lived through it and cared about it, I help clients understand:

• Radon and safety mitigation

• Water testing & rights

• Historical land use

• Soil, wells, and mineral rights

• Ecological considerations that matter in Colorado

This is not typical agent knowledge—this is lived experience and deep-care advocacy.

Why People Trust Me

Because I’m not here to hustle you.
I’m here to guide, support, and advocate for you with skill and integrity.

Clients appreciate my:

• Sharp negotiation skills

• Honest evaluations

• Deep local knowledge

• Warm, grounded communication

• Ability to make overwhelming processes feel empowering

• Intersection of chef / farmer / remodeler / investor / anthropologist perspective

The Chef Advantage

As a chef, I see homes differently.
I understand:

• Flow

• Function

• Gathering spaces

• Heart-of-the-home design

• Outdoor kitchen & garden potential

Food is home. Home is life. And helping people find the right one is deeply meaningful to me.
