What’s Your Fourth of July Memory?
What’s Your Fourth of July Memory? I’m sending this out a day early as I’m sure we are all excited for the holiday weekend! One of my core memories as a kid was going to see fireworks on the Fourth of July with my dad in downtown Chicago. Some years we would drive around in […]
What’s Your Colorado Adventure?
What’s Your Colorado Adventure? Last weekend we took the kids camping. It was their first time doing a more off-grid camping trip and they loved it! It reminded me yet again why living in Colorado is so special. Our camping spot was just an hour from downtown Denver and yet felt as if you were […]
Is Your Home Worth Less than its Replacement Cost?
Is Your Home Worth Less than its Replacement Cost? On my run the other morning, I found myself thinking about something that sounds completely backwards: A lot of homes today are selling for less than it would cost to build them. That doesn’t seem like it should be possible, right? Unlike cars, houses don’t typically […]
When IS the Right Time to List Your Home?
When IS the Right Time to List Your Home? Last week I discussed that just because we are on the other side of Memorial Day Weekend, it doesn’t mean the housing market is done for the year. But when IS it a good time to list your home? Predicting the perfect weekend to list your […]
Is Real Estate All Downhill From Here?
Is Real Estate All Downhill From Here? I’m often known for my optimistic outlook on the world (stop laughing), but Memorial Day Weekend is here and, statistically, that means we are past the peak of the real estate market for the year. So, is it time to hang it up? Not at all! This is […]
Are the Headlines Right? Is Denver Housing Cratering?
Are the Headlines Right? Is Denver Housing Cratering? Denver doesn’t feel like the “everyone is moving here” city it was five or ten years ago and the news seems to be shining a light on this lately. Migration into the metro has slowed dramatically, and in the most recent data, more people are actually leaving […]
So Many Scams, So Little Time
If your inbox is like mine, you get a million emails a day asking you to click a link for some urgent thing. And usually, you just brush this aside as silly spam. No way you’re falling for the old “Prince in need of money” scam again! Right?
Awards Season
Awards Season Every year Realtors gather for the biggest award ceremony we have – The Excellence Awards for Denver Metro Association of Realtors. Spicy sounding right? There are over 20,000 agents in the metro area so even being recognized IS a big deal! And this year it was truly special. For the second time since […]
Disrupting the MLS
Disrupting the MLS In Denver, we’ve had something rare – a centralized MLS where everyone can see every listing on market in one place. It’s efficient, transparent, and, in my opinion, something we’ve taken for granted. Many other cities do not have a centralized system. Recent rule changes around clear cooperation were meant to keep […]
What would YOU like to see?
What would YOU like to see? It’s been another wild week in real estate, as usual. I had 3 closings, put 2 homes under contract, and started prep on 4 fun new listings this week. As such, I didn’t have a chance to really think up something to opine about for my blurb. Being relevant […]
