This Team Took Their eXp Launch All the Way to 14,000 Feet

Most teams mark a big brokerage move with a group dinner, but The 14er Group decided to climb a mountain. Literally.

How It All Started

When Casey Herzfeld first launched The 14er Group, the name started as a playful joke. Casey is just shy of six feet tall, and her brother Adam Roberts, who is also in real estate, stands 6’6”. 

“We laughed that we might be the tallest real estate team in Colorado,” Casey said.

But as the business grew, the name The 14er Group began to mean something much deeper.

“We realized it represented the kind of people we are,” Casey said. “Driven. Committed. Always climbing toward something bigger. In Colorado, a 14er is a challenge — it takes preparation, persistence, and teamwork. That’s exactly how we approach real estate.”

The Climb to Success

Based in Colorado, The 14er Group now includes 10 agents and growing, serving clients from Colorado Springs to Fort Collins. The team’s specialties span luxury properties, investments, land and acreage, and VA and relocation transactions. Many of the group’s agents are veterans, and serving the military community remains a cornerstone of their mission.

For Casey, leading this team has been both a professional milestone and a personal calling. As a high-producing Employing and Managing Broker, she’s been recognized with Diamond Circle Awards, 5 Star Professional honors, and 40 Under 40, and was named Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department Business Partner of the Year. She’s also known for her mentorship, having guided more than 180 agents through coaching and training over the years.

Discovering a New Peak with eXp

Even with those achievements, Casey felt there was another summit ahead — a way to expand her impact and create more opportunity for her team. That’s when she was introduced to eXp Realty.

“I’d been watching eXp for a while,” Casey said. “The more I learned about its model — the training, the collaboration, the financial opportunities — the more it aligned with what I wanted for The 14er Group. I wanted my agents to have the freedom to grow, not just as producers, but as business owners and leaders.”

After thoughtful consideration, she made the move. And in true 14er fashion, she hiked to the summit of a mountain to mark the moment.

A Summit to Remember

“I wanted to do something that reflected the spirit of this team,” she said. “It was a true test of perseverance and determination, but standing at 14,000 feet with a sign that read ‘14er Group – Taking Real Estate to New Heights at eXp’ was surreal. It felt like a promise — to keep climbing, keep growing, and help others do the same.”

To celebrate together, Casey and her team have now hiked two 14ers – a fitting start to their eXp chapter and a reminder of the grit and unity that define who they are.

“For us, it’s not just about the climb,” Casey said. “It’s about who you’re climbing with.”

As The 14er Group settles into its new home at eXp Realty, Casey is focused on what she does best: empowering agents, elevating client experiences, and leading by example. Welcome to eXp Casey and the 14er Group!
