Seriously, didn't they realize there's sun here? - 05/26/07 12:13 PM

We love our house, don't get me wrong, but what was the builder thinking when he put a cedar shake roof on it? I get it: they have a certain "look" that some folks like...kind of rustic. But if you've spent any time in this part of Colorado you know that … (7 comments)

Denver foreclosures and the first-time buyer: mismatched from the start - 05/06/07 03:14 PM

Everyone knows that Denver has lots of foreclosures. The problem is that there are lots of first-timers who think they should give it a whirl. I've currently got a few contracts pending with banks and all of them are with investors, or seasoned buyers.
