fort collins real estate: Fort Collins Accredited Buyer's Representative - 11/02/11 10:16 AM
After working in the Fort Collins Real Estate market for several years, I received this notification the other day:
Congratulations! We are happy to inform you that the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC) has conferred the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation to you.
By no means was this a gift. This designation is earned by not only specialized training but also demonstrating a history of working in the best interest of the buying client. I very much enjoy working as a Buyer's agent in Northern Colorado. I feel, I offer much better service to my clients as their … (2 comments)

fort collins real estate: Fort Collins Realtor Recommendation - 10/19/10 10:25 AM
Last night as I was thinking about shutting down for the night I received an email from a past client. I opened it up right away and was great to read this testimonial.
David,
It was great having you search for my first home. You answered all my questions and made the process so much more enjoyable and easier than I could ever have imagined. You kept me updated on each phase of the buying process and there were no surprises along the way. If I ever sell or buy again, I would definitely come to you first.
Best regards,
D. … (0 comments)

fort collins real estate: Sellers market in Fort Collins!! - 05/18/09 11:56 AM
What! A sellers market in "This Economy". Well if you have a well cared for home that has a market value under $250k in Fort Collins, you have a very desirable home right now. Currently sellers are receiving multiple offers in the first week, on well priced and marketed homes. Homeowners should not listen to the national stories, instead they need to speak with the local professionals.
There are so many buyers in the market right now, and the inventory of homes available is very low. Home buyers are looking to take advantage of the first time home buyers tax credit and … (0 comments)

fort collins real estate: Parents of CSU student - 04/11/09 11:59 AM
Today I am meeting with parents of a CSU student. They would like to find their son a home while he finishes his degree. We will be looking for newer homes near the Colorado State University Campus.
They would also like to continue to help him prepare for the future. We have talked about the possible benefits of including him in the purchase. It could lead to all sorts of tax benefits for all of them, but that is an issue for them and their tax professional.
Funny that today I was reading a published article from Peter G. Miller and … (1 comments)

fort collins real estate: It's a buyers market! Not!! - 04/02/09 08:21 AM
I have had the privilege of working with several first time buyers since the first of the year. Most are looking for homes under $200k in Fort Collins, Wellington, Loveland, Windsor and LaPorte. This price point has a very limited inventory. Homes that are clean and not in distress are lasting only days before they go under contract. Right now sellers are in the drivers seat. Only problem is that so far so few sellers have tested the waters.
My advice to anyone considering buying selling or investing in Real Estate is to spend some time with a Real Estate professional … (2 comments)

fort collins real estate: Buyer's market? - 03/20/09 09:59 PM
We hear alot of noise about this being a buyers market and that you can smell the blood in the water. Well not so Fast!!
I have several buyers looking for homes or condos under 200K in Fort Collins and Northern Colorado. At this price point the homes are disappearing faster and faster. One couples search is becoming quite challenging. They started their search this week, we found of the properties they picked 4 of 8 went under Contract this week.
Currently our data shows a 3 month inventory under 200k and going down. This catagory acts much like and probably … (1 comments)

fort collins real estate: Snow Dog - 03/07/09 05:41 PM
It has been several weeks since we have had any snow in Fort Collins. This morning it was sunny, calm and a great day to work outside. Just after noon I showed a client a 10 acre parcel north of Fort Collins while comfortably wearing a short sleeve shirt. Got home and walked The Stagecoach subdivision with my girls, distributing door hangers.
Now.
Huge Flakes
We really need the moisture, and it is refreshing.
This gives me a chance to catch up on AR.

fort collins real estate: No Showings on the Weekend Please - 02/27/09 08:37 PM
I have the opportunity to show some buyers homes this weekend. Ifound 7 properties that nicely matched their narrow criteria. I set up my showings. To my disappointment, 2 of the homeowners said NO SHOWINGS ON THE WEEKEND
WHAT! I would guess this is not helping them sell. Maybe they understand things better than I.
Please sellers I understand putting limits on showings, but nothing on the weekend.
Agents with these sellers have their work cut out. I just know when I tell buyers they can't see a home, they either think I am a slacker or they totally write it … (4 comments)

fort collins real estate: Fort Collins First time home buyers - 02/22/09 06:02 PM
This weekend I had the privelege to meet with two seperate couples, First time home buyers. One couple Is ready jump in. We looked at several homes that fit their needs. They where quite concerned about the whole first-time buyers tax credit thing. $8,000 dollars? And all we have to do is live in the home for 3 years? "They don't just give money away" I was able to hand them a printout from a lender in town detailing the provisions of the tax credit. They see it and mostly say OK. I encouraged them to talk with a tax pro … (2 comments)

fort collins real estate: First time buyers today - 02/19/09 08:38 PM
The Keller Williams downtown office is located at 1220 S. College. Right at the corner of College and Pitkin. We are across the Street from Colorado State University. It is a great location for parents of CSU students to stop in and search for Kiddie condos or investment properties.
Also we love to have have folks drop in and ask questions to see if they could afford to buy now, move up or downsize.
Today a young couple came in and asked if there was any chance that they might afford a home. After finding out a little they figured that … (0 comments)

fort collins real estate: Rent or buy? - 02/15/09 05:47 PM
I have run into several folks who will ask, "Why would I want to buy, renting is fine."
I can tell them about interest rates, First time home buyer programs, Buyer opportunities, Tax incentives, tax credits, and much more.
This week I came accross a nice little tool. For those who need to run number this rent vs. buy calculator is pretty helpful.
I think this will really help rounding out the discussion.
Now don't get me wrong? There are plenty of reasons why folks should rent and not buy. This tool will help make a well informed decision.

By the time they got to town the top 4 listings on the list went under contract. Their price range was under $220K.
Before the second day of showings we noticed that a new listing came up. They went and saw it and within 24 hours we wrote a contract. The # 2 on the list disappeared over the weekend too.
