The Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to join in the celebration of our 2025 Board Chair, Josh Guernsey, as the 2024 Real Estate Entrepreneur of the Year, awarded by the Everitt Real Estate Center at Colorado State University.
The Everitt Real Estate Center’s Entrepreneurship Award was established in 2007 to recognize and honor individuals who have been innovative, creative, and have displayed forward-thinking in their industry. The Entrepreneurship Award winners have impacted the real estate industry as a result of their resourcefulness, collaboration, and imagination. Their actions are inspiring, and they serve as exceptional role models for CSU Students.
Josh Guernsey was recently recognized as the 2024 Real Estate Entrepreneur of the Year. Josh has shaped Northern Colorado’s real estate landscape through his entrepreneurial vision and dedication to community growth. A Fort Collins native, he co-founded Waypoint Real Estate, a full-service commercial brokerage, property management, and investment firm. Recognizing the need for strategic investment in local businesses, he also co-founded Vuelo Investments, helping foster economic growth with a people-first approach.
Over the years, Josh has played a key role in revitalizing spaces across the region, including The Exchange, Harmony Commons, the historic Museum of Art Building, and the William S. Hill Building. His ability to blend historic preservation with modern development has contributed to the vibrancy of Fort Collins.
Beyond real estate, Josh has made a lasting impact at the Fort Collins Area Chamber and at Colorado State University, where his leadership on the Everitt Real Estate Center Advisory Board has helped shape the future of real estate education. He is a well-known mentor to students, and his company, Waypoint Real Estate, has become a sought-after place to launch a career after graduation. His dedication to fostering the next generation of real estate professionals reflects his commitment to both industry and community. As well, his dedication to sharing a business voice in the future of our community is vital.
Congratulations to Josh on this well-deserved recognition. We are honored to have you as our 2025 Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce Board Chair.
