Ascend Realty Inc.

Immediately after high school in 2005, I enlisted in the U.S. Army as a 13F Forward Observer for the Artillery. I had a very successful 5 year career which included 2 tours of duty in Iraq. I was in Baghdad as part of the "Troop Surge" of 2007-2008 and stationed in northern Iraq in 2009-2010. I decided I wanted a family, and the Army life wasn't conducive to the type of family life I wanted to have, so after my last tour, I returned home and enrolled in college at Black Hills State University. While enrolled and attending classes I became a Rapid City Police Officer. I loved that career. I made a lot of friends and learned many valuable lessons over the 2 years that I was there. I was involved in 2 shooting incidents in early 2012 and decided it was a sign that I should shift my career focus elsewhere. I had purchased my first home while I was a cop, and always felt it was a strong possibility for me to become a Realtor, so in March of 2012 I began studying for my Real Estate License. I obtained that license in June of 2012 and quickly found that my extreme work ethic and passion for service put me miles ahead of my peers. Within my first 3 years I was in the top 5% of agents in my market according to sales volume. I have continued to provide top tier service and guidance to my clients and as the Broker/Owner of Ascend Realty Inc. I am now dedicated to creating a group of agents who can provide that same elevated level of service under my guidance.

Henry Ulrich 605-490-2040 Roy@HenryRoyRealEstate.com Most people don’t wake up thinking, “I should learn everything about Henry today.” They just want someone who can actually help them through the big stuff… buying, selling, relocating, upsizing, downsizing, investing, tight timelines, or just figuring out what the next move even looks like. That’s where I come in. I’m Henry, a Realtor in the Black Hills focused on making real estate feel a whole lot less overwhelming. I help people navigate major life changes, whether you’re • moving because your family is growing, • relocating for work or military orders, • selling a place that no longer fits, • buying your first home, • starting fresh after a tough chapter, or • investing to build something long-term. My background is a mix of real estate, photography, and five years as a reserve police officer. Translation… I stay calm when things get tense, I pay attention to the details most people miss, and I’m not afraid to have the conversations that actually need to happen. I market homes the right way, negotiate hard, and explain things in a way that makes sense. Designations and what they mean for you: • **CRS (Certified Residential Specialist)** – Proven experience and production, not just theory. • **ABR (Accredited Buyer’s Representative)** – Strong buyer representation, protecting you and helping you avoid costly mistakes. • **MRP (Military Relocation Professional)** – Experience with PCS moves, timelines, and VA loan nuances. • **SRS (Seller Representative Specialist)** – Strategic pricing, marketing, and negotiation to protect your equity. • **SFR (Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource)** – Ability to navigate more complex or distressed situations when things aren’t straightforward. • **CHLMS (Certified Home Luxury Marketing Specialist)** – Elevated marketing and presentation for higher-end homes. Outside of real estate, I’m a husband, a dad of three, and a small business owner. I also tend to answer my phone more than I probably should, but that’s just how I operate. If you want straight answers, real communication, and someone who treats your move like it actually matters, reach out anytime. Whether you’re ready to take the next step or just need honest advice, I’m here to help.
