Arica Andreatta

Code of the West Real Estate LLC

Arica Andreatta was born and raised in Huerfano County and has a deep sense of respect for the land and the way of life in Southern Colorado. Arica graduated from John Mall High School in Walsenburg and then moved to Boulder, where she obtained a BA in Business Management with an emphasis in Real Estate from the University of Colorado. Throughout college, she worked as a mortgage broker assistant, and upon graduation in 2007, she became a licensed broker associate at Coldwell Banker, one of the leading real estate brokerages in Boulder, CO. Although Arica was fortunate to have great success as a realtor in Denver and Boulder, she felt something was missing. She decided to take a leap of faith and move back to Southern Colorado, where her heart resided. Upon her return, she worked as a manager for a large corporation that offered durable medical equipment throughout Southern Colorado. Arica learned a great deal about managing other employees, financial accounting, human resources, marketing, and the overall skills necessary to operate a successful business. She was then promoted to a Sales Representative position, where she traveled throughout Southern Colorado, meeting with physicians and promoting the business and its equipment. Through these travels, Arica often thought about real estate and how passionate she was about helping others find their little piece of heaven, just as she had found her serenity in the quaint town of La Veta, Colorado. Arica then decided to join the fine group at Capture Colorado, where she learned about Real Estate in Southern Colorado and how it differs from Northern Colorado. Arica immediately found great success, ranking as the top producer in the company and among the top 10 producers in Huerfano County in 2015, closing over $4.7 million in sales and completing 34 successful transactions. With this success, she decided to spread her wings and open her own brokerage firm and has steadily continued her success, which was shown in 2016 when she was named "The Broker of the Year" and in 2017 when she was given the title of "The Top Producer" in Huerfano County with over $11,000,000 in personal sales and $21,000,000 as a company. In 2018, Arica was named one of the "10 Best Real Estate Agents in Colorado'' by the American Institute of Real Estate Agents. In 2019, Arica served as the Spanish Peaks MLS President. From 2019-2021, Arica served as a member of the Board of Directors for the Pueblo Association of Realtors. In 2020, Arica received the prestigious designation of ALC (Accredited Land Consultant), placing her among the elite 44 brokers in the State of Colorado to hold this designation, out of the 44,000 licensed brokers in the state. In 2021, Arica served on the Colorado Association of Realtors Grievance Committee, among other county boards, committees, and volunteer efforts. In early 2022, Arica received recognition from USA TODAY as one of the “Top 10 Real Estate experts to follow in 2022”. Arica and her team decided to branch out in 2023 and add a 5th location to their portfolio, enabling them to serve the entire state of Colorado and Montana. In 2024, Arica Andreatta was featured as a Top Realtor in “The Elite Real Estate Leaders” publication and podcast. The people of Huerfano County elected Arica to serve as a County Commissioner from 2021-2024, where she was instrumental in implementing new processes and procedures that will help drive Tourism and Economic Development in the region for many years to come. In 2025, Arica and her family were awarded the Governor's Award.
