Editorial Features & Contributions
Share Your Expertise With Kenna Real Estate Readers
Have useful knowledge, research or experience that could help people make better decisions about real estate, homeownership, moving or living in Colorado?
Kenna Real Estate Group considers original contributor articles and expert perspectives for publication on the Kenna Real Estate website.
Send us your idea or completed draft. If it is a strong fit for our readers and editorial standards, we may invite you to move forward with a featured contribution.
We are especially interested in practical, original information that adds expertise or perspective our readers would genuinely find useful.
What We Feature
Useful Expertise for Homeowners, Buyers, Sellers and Colorado Readers
Kenna Real Estate covers more than property listings.
Contributor features may explore subjects connected to:
- buying or selling a home;
- real estate investing;
- moving and relocation;
- Colorado housing and homeownership;
- home design and interiors;
- remodeling and home improvement;
- architecture and construction;
- property maintenance;
- commercial real estate;
- equestrian properties and ownership;
- luxury and international real estate;
- housing technology;
- real estate finance;
- home services; and
- other subjects with a clear connection to property, housing or homeownership.
Have an idea that does not fit neatly into one of those categories?
Send it anyway if you believe it would be useful to Kenna readers.
What Makes a Strong Feature
Bring Something Useful to the Conversation
The strongest contributor articles give readers information they could not get from a generic overview.
That may come from:
Professional Expertise
Explain something you work with directly and help readers understand what matters.
Original Research or Data
Share useful findings, trends or analysis and explain what they mean for the reader.
Practical Experience
Turn firsthand professional experience into information homeowners, buyers or sellers can use.
A Colorado Perspective
Help readers understand a property, housing, design, moving or ownership question through a Colorado or Front Range lens.
A Useful How-To
Walk readers through a home or real estate problem clearly enough that they know what to consider next.
The topic does not need to promote Kenna Real Estate Group.
It should simply be relevant, credible and useful to the audience.
Contributor Guidelines
What to Send for Editorial Consideration
You may submit either a completed article or a well-developed feature proposal.
For a Completed Article
Please provide:
- a shareable link to the draft;
- the proposed title;
- approximately 750 to 3,000 words;
- your name and professional background;
- the organization or company you represent, when applicable;
- source links supporting factual claims;
- any original images you would like us to consider; and
- a brief explanation of why the topic is useful to Kenna readers.
Longer articles are welcome when the subject genuinely requires more depth.
For a Feature Proposal
A full article is not required for the initial review.
Send:
- the proposed topic;
- the question or problem the feature would address;
- your relevant expertise;
- the main points you would cover; and
- any research, data or original perspective you expect to contribute.
If the idea looks like a good fit, we can determine the appropriate format before publication.
Original Content
Features Should Add Something New
Contributor material should be original and prepared for Kenna Real Estate.
We are looking for substantive contributions rather than material that has simply been reproduced across multiple websites.
Sources, studies and other authoritative materials are encouraged when they strengthen the article.
If your feature builds on work you have published elsewhere, tell us what is new or different about the version you are proposing for Kenna.
Images & Supporting Material
Help Us Make the Feature Useful and Visual
If you have original photography, charts, diagrams or other supporting material, include links with your submission.
Please identify:
- who created the material;
- whether you own it or have permission to provide it; and
- any attribution that should accompany it.
Kenna may also select or create appropriate imagery when preparing an approved feature for publication.
Contributor Credit
Your Expertise Can Be Part of the Feature
When appropriate, published contributions may include a contributor credit identifying the author, professional role or organization behind the expertise.
Relevant references may also be included when they help readers understand the subject or verify information.
Links are selected and placed editorially based on their usefulness and relevance to the published feature.
Editorial Review
Every Feature Is Reviewed Before Publication
Submitting an article or idea begins the editorial review process.
Kenna Real Estate Group evaluates contributions based on:
- usefulness to readers;
- subject relevance;
- originality;
- factual support;
- writing quality;
- professional credibility; and
- fit with the rest of the website.
If we believe a submission has potential but needs refinement, we may suggest changes before moving forward.
Approved features may also be edited for clarity, structure, accuracy, formatting and consistency with Kenna's editorial style.
Our goal is to make each published contribution as useful and readable as possible.

Common Questions
Contributor Feature FAQs
Do I need to write the entire article before contacting you?
No.
You can send a feature idea first.
Tell us what you want to cover, why it matters to Kenna readers and what expertise or original information you would bring to it.
What topics are a good fit?
Anything with a substantive connection to real estate, property, homeownership, moving, housing, design, construction or Colorado living may be considered.
The most important requirement is that the feature gives readers genuinely useful information.
Can a company contribute?
Yes.
Professionals, companies, researchers and subject-matter experts can all propose features.
Tell us who would be providing the expertise and the relationship between the contributor and the subject.
Can my business be mentioned?
When relevant to the contributor's expertise, an appropriate contributor or company credit may be included.
The feature itself should remain useful to the reader rather than functioning primarily as an advertisement.
Can my website be referenced?
Potentially.
Relevant sources and contributor references are considered as part of the editorial process.
Kenna determines whether a link is useful to readers, where it belongs and how it should appear in the finished feature.
Can I submit something I have published elsewhere?
We prefer original material created specifically for Kenna readers.
If your proposed feature builds on previous work, explain what new research, analysis, perspective or material the Kenna version will provide.
