loveland: Chagunga Sculpture Park- Now Open
- 10/03/07 02:24 PM
Chapunga Sculpture Gallery is now available for public viewing. The Walking Gallery is within the boundaries of the Promenade Shops. For months, workers have been getting this place (Chagunga Sculpture Park) ready for the public. The Sculpture Park was originally scheduled to open sometime during the summer but I think the wait will be well worth it. Frankly, I think the park will be spectacular come Spring of 2008. Either way, the park has just brought an element that Loveland and Northern Colorado have been missing. Yes, we have a great art community but this makes our little Loveland 'a place for the arts'. … (0 comments)
loveland: Centerra's Grocery Store Miracle!?
- 09/11/07 07:35 AM
Over the last several years, I have been asked many questions about real estate, Loveland, Centerra & High Plains Village. The most common questions that I get (particularly from High Plains residents) is when will we get a grocery store in or near Centerra? The best way for me to answer that question is when you actually see the structure, grocery store signage and people walking out with groceries. As with anything McWhinney, most people think that McWhinney Enterprises has total control over the process. Nope! McWhinney has the dirt, the plan, the responsibility but they are not in the grocery business. … (1 comments)
loveland: Loveland City Council to Vote On New Centerra Neighborhood Proposal
- 09/03/07 05:41 AM
Tomorrow night, the Loveland City council will be voting on a proposal by McWhinney Enterprises to allow for a new Metro Tax District to be formed within Centerra's borders. The proposed Metro Tax District will be used for infrastructure and community amenities within the Lakes at Centerra development. While I am not a big fan of any new tax, I do believe that those who have a vision of this first class community may feel like this is money well spent. In essence, the tax is optional..... if you want to live in this community, you will have an additional tax. If … (0 comments)
loveland: You Better Know The Neighborhood
- 09/03/07 04:40 AM
This past week, I was distributing one of my marketing pieces to my neighborhood. In my walking travels I met several homeowners that I knew by name only. This is one of the funnest activities for me as a Realtor, meeting new people. Anyway, as I walked (getting exercise too), I met a gentleman that had just purchased a home in our subdivision. He went on to tell me about his horror story upon moving in to our neighborhood. This man used the listing agent as a transaction broker in order to purchase his home. The unfortunate part of the story … (4 comments)
loveland: Northern Colorado- If You Have A Need For Speed
- 09/02/07 02:01 PM
This Labor Day weekend is packed with bikers, boater and onlookers that love to go fast. This weekend tradition of seeing Harley Davidsons and just about every kind of motorcycle known to man is a fun site to see. From Thursday through Monday, the amount of motorcycles on the road is staggering. Personally, I really enjoy the noise and for the most part the bikers are pretty easy to get along with. If you are a biker, boater or a speed freek, consider coming to the following event: Thunder in the Rockies (motorcycle enthusiasts) and Roar of the Rockies (boat races) … (2 comments)
loveland: Loveland & McWhinney- In Marriage, Both Must Sacrifice
- 08/29/07 05:58 AM
Today, in the local Paper (Loveland Reporter Herald) on the front page the headline reads "City Wants A Grand Project". As a more than casual observer of the goings on in Loveland, I am pleased to see that the city is finally seeing things my way. I mean McWhinney's way. City officials and the public have had an opportunity to study the proposal made by McWhinney Enterprises and the benefits of creating this grand scale project. In my opinion, the lack of acurrate information, speculation and rumor has given the project a bad rap. Grand Station will set Loveland and Northern … (0 comments)

loveland: High Plains Village Softball Team
- 08/09/07 11:28 AM
Many of you may know that I am competitive. Well, maybe hyper competitive. A few times this summer, I have mentioned my frustration with being on the losing end playing on a men's softball league. Losing sucks! As my ego can attest, I want to win! So, being hyper competitive and fun loving all at the same time, I am starting a softball team..... with my neighbors. Most of the victims, excuse me, teammates say that they are well past their prime but who cares? It's all about fun right? It's a pretty cool to live in such a great neighborhood and … (1 comments)
loveland: Ethan Allen- In Tiny Little Loveland, Colorado?!
- 08/07/07 03:37 PM
Ethan Allen, a fine furniture store is now open to the public. The new store is located on the south/west side of 2534. I am a big fan of higher end products including furniture retailers. Why? It's not just about the product, it's about perception of the marketplace and the end user (consumer). Here, in little podunk Loveland, Colorado, we are making a name for ourselves and the specialty retailers, restaurants and other key businesses are taking note. Consider that just in the last two years, we have a new mall (Promenade Shops), a new auto center (the Motorplex), tons of … (1 comments)

Great home in High Plains Village at Centerra.

loveland: Bonefish Grill- Coming Soon to 2534 Development
- 07/29/07 09:52 AM
Finally! A good fish restaurant is coming to Northern Colorado. Bonefish Grill will be opening soon and is located on the southeast corner of Centerra Parkway. The actual location is in the 2534 development. I have never been to a Bonefish Grill but can't wait. The menu online looks fantastic and they even serve steak and chicken. My wife and I are big seafood people, so maybe we can add another restaurant to our date night list. We will keep you posted as to the official grand opening date..... stay tuned. … (2 comments)
loveland: Under Contract Is Not Enough
- 07/28/07 04:29 PM
Earlier this year, I had a a few lots in a very small subdivision listed for sale. My seller is a great old guy that put in a considerable amount of time and money to get the lots ready for sale (i.e. water tap, sewer, soil and civil engineering, etc). My seller has worked all his life and just wants to retire. He will not do so until the last lot closes. In mid March, we received an offer for the last lot and with some back and forth negotiating, we got ourselves a deal. The biggest issue that I had was … (6 comments)
