Calling All Denver Realtors: Please Be CourteousAnother unhappy seller called again today, and no, he is not unhappy with us.  He knows that he has hired highly competent agents to market and to sell his home.

  Who isn't watching what they spend?  I could honestly count on one hand the number of Starbucks coffees I have had.  Dunkin' Donuts and McDonalds have been my favorite coffee-out places.  The best cup in the morning, however, is from my own kitchen.  Low fat, low calorie and decadently fun.  T...

Many of you may be interested in knowing that Karen Scheinfurth's husband passed away after a lengthy illness.  As a community, I feel we should all pass our condolences on to this wonderful lady who has been a very worthy Active Rain contributor for quite awhile.  Personally, Karen, I know that ...

I was so inspired by Louann Nudi's Welcome Basket idea in her post last night that I spent a couple of hours and a couple of hundred dollars putting together this awesome hose warming gift.  I know, that is quite a bit of money--but if it makes an impression and we get additional referrals from i...

For the first time in years, I just had a home that did not appraise.  This was not our listing.  It was a buyer we were representing.  We had the home under contract for $325K.  Before negotiating, comps were done.  The contracted was negotiated at close to our CMA.  The buyer did not choose to ...
