all blogs: Denver Home-Sellers Ask: "Should I Offer a Paint & Carpet Allowance instead of actually doing the work?" - 09/30/09 04:25 AM
Question: "Should I offer a "paint and carpet" allowance instead of actually doing the work?"
JA: Homesellers- I feel for ya. When you're getting your home ready for market, the to-do list seems endless, doesn't it? The last thing you want to do is to relocate your furniture to refinish the floors or take … (3 comments)

all blogs: What's the Big Deal with Family Photos When Selling Your Denver Home? - 09/28/09 06:17 AM
The article below was contributed by Geri Bigum of Staging Denver. Staging Denver is ONLY the very best homestaging company in Denver, and, in my opinion, anywhere in the world. Okay, okay, maybe I'm biased because I had a hand in creating the company back in the 90's, but seriously - … (4 comments)

all blogs: Should You Hire a "Listing Specialist" to Sell Your Home? - 09/26/09 07:31 AM
I might ruffle some feathers with this blog, but I'm okay with that. I'm usually up for a good debate!
Many real estate agents market themselves as "listing specialists" - that is - they focus mainly on marketing houses for sale instead of working with buyers. Many "listing specialists" hire buyer … (19 comments)

This isn't my listing, but it's so freakin' cool, I thought I'd post it to my blog. It's listed by my new best friend Mary Beth Bonacci of RE/MAX Alliance in Denver. I spent last Thanksgiving with Mary Beth and her family in this home and it's truly … (0 comments)

"What's the average Days on Market in Denver? That is, how long will it take my house to sell?"
In real estate-speak, "days on market," (abbreviated DOM) means how many days it takes from the day a house goes on the market until the day it goes "under contract" (that is, when a … (9 comments)

all blogs: Houses aren't Pet Rocks! No Amount of Marketing Can Sell a Stupid Product - 12/31/08 10:42 AM
Back in 1997, one of my first seller clients asked me the question: "Jennifer, I assume our house will sell quickly because it's so cute (it was), but if it doesn't sell right away, what will you do?"
Hmmmmmmmm. Hell, I dunno. I was a green bean agent; I'd only had … (1 comments)

My cute little 1927 Denver Bungalow is on the market. What fun I had getting it ready! Oh, yeah, the BIG TO-DO list provided by my favorite real estate agent (that would be me). Well, my stager kicked in a few assignments, too... including having my windows professionally cleaned.
Ugh. Just … (4 comments)

all blogs: Woo Hoo! My Listings Are No Longer Naked! - 08/17/08 10:39 AM
Colorado agents... can you relate??? My recent listings have been naked since they've gone on the market - that is - NO SIGN! With our lovely drought (it HAS been a beautiful summer!), yards are as hard as concrete and no amount of pounding, jumping or swearing is gonna get … (13 comments)

all blogs: What do Bathtub Spiders Eat? - 08/13/08 07:37 AM
I have a confession to make. There are two spiders living in my guest bathtub and they've been there for weeks. I've grown kind of fond of them and at this point, don't have any desire to flush them away. However, that doesn't mean that I have any desire to pick … (20 comments)

all blogs: Denver Rookies... a Free Seminar Just for You! - 07/24/08 09:47 AM
Do you know a Denver rookie real estate agent who is floundering? One who has the drive, energy and brainpower to succeed, but doesn't seem to be putting the pieces and parts together in the right order to bring in a paycheck?
It's a tough business, ‘specially these days. ‘Specially for … (0 comments)

all blogs: There Ain't No Bugs on Me! - 07/22/08 07:36 AM
Denver, Colorado isn't perfect. We have a Brown Cloud, it snowed on Mother's Day and I-25 rush hour traffic is the pits.
But there's something we have here that is pretty darn special. And no, it's not the Democratic National Convention, coming soon to my fair city.
It's July 22nd and I … (15 comments)

all blogs: It's SO CUTE! My New Listing in Evergreen - a Mountain Retreat for City Folk! - 07/07/08 09:13 PM
I just listed the cutest little house ever... in Evergreen, Colorado. It's the kind of place you walk in and say "Oooooh, I want this!" Pottery Barn meets Santa Fe - the owner is an artist and the place just feels good. Warm... cheerful... flooded with light.
For those familiar … (2 comments)

all blogs: Sorry about the drought, my Colorado friends...it's all my fault - 07/06/08 09:13 AM
At the risk of sounding oh-so-arrogant, you can blame me for our recent lack of rainfall.
I take drought with me wherever I go... and when I leave, it starts to rain. I swear.
In 1989, I graduated from college and within a week moved to San Francisco. It didn't rain … (6 comments)

I've lived in Northwest Denver on and off (mostly on) for over 14 years. And yeah, I've been aware the entire time that sections of my beloved 'hood are called "Highlands" (West Highlands, Highlands Square, East Highlands, Potter Highlands, etc.). Never gave it much thought, though. After all, the city next … (5 comments)

all blogs: Looking for Denver Foreclosures/Short Sales/REO's in Denver... but don't know where to start? - 06/17/08 08:17 AM
Frankly, neither do I. I've made the executive decision that the Foreclosure market is not my thing. In the late 90's, I worked with a lot of investors, but that was a different world - one in which the sellers actually seemed to want to sell! I've heard so many horror stories … (0 comments)
