colorado: You Cannot Say Enough About Referrals. By Dan Polimino. - 05/29/12 07:12 AM
Real Estate is, has, and always will be predominantly a referral business. Yes, I know that with Internet technology, real estate agents can mine hundreds of leads every month, of people they have never met.  In fact, my team, The Colorado Dream House Team, has invested heavily in Internet leads. About three percent turn out to be real buyers or sellers. While we appreciate this newfound source of business, nothing compares to a lead that is a good referral. 
We spend a ton of time trying to make sure that each and every client has a good experience with us, … (0 comments)

colorado: It’s Not Much Fun Being A Buyer’s Agent These Days. By Dan Polimino. - 05/01/12 12:15 AM
Since the real estate market crashed in 2008, the best position to be in would have been a buyer’s agent. After all, for the last five years, buyers have been in the driver’s seat in Denver. They had the low interest rates, low prices, and plenty of choices in homes. Since there were so few of them, they could name their price and get it. In essence, they had all the power while the sellers had none, and boy did the sellers feel it. 
Fast-forward to present day and it’s a whole new world in Denver. Being a buyer’s agent … (5 comments)

This week we are going to see Yelp reviews of Cherry Cricket, located at 2641 E 2nd Ave., Denver, CO 80206. The term “legendary” is overused these days.

colorado: Act now! 10 major housing markets with the shortest supply of homes - 04/10/12 02:14 AM
Denver
Decline in inventory: 42%
This mountain-high city never experienced the highs and lows in home values that its coastal counterparts did. And now, with rents rising and vacancy of just 2%, more apartment-dwellers are taking the plunge into homeownership, local broker Gary Bauer says.
This city's inventory in February was down 42% from the same period a year earlier, at just 10,086 units. The number of homes going under contract spiked 19% between January and February of this year as buyers raced to take advantage of low interest rates and relatively low prices.

colorado: The Quiet Listing. By Dan Polimino. - 03/27/12 02:48 AM
If you have been around the real estate game for any period of time, you must have heard the term "quiet listing" or "pocket listing." This means that a Realtor has a client that would like to sell their home, but does not want to put it on the market. Here is how it works: 
A seller calls their agent and says, "If you know of anyone who might be looking in this neighborhood, could you tell them about our house?" The agent then usually asks a series of questions, not the least of which is, "Do you want to … (6 comments)

colorado: I Was My Mother’s Third Choice. By Dan Polimino. - 03/20/12 03:05 AM
Frequently, I get asked to list a home wherein I am the third Realtor that the seller has used in trying to sell their property.  In some cases, I have been interviewed for the job a year before or earlier and they selected someone else. In other situations, they have tried two other real estate professionals and for whatever reason were unable to move the home. The sellers have either read my newspaper column or were referred to me and there I am, interviewing as the third Realtor on the job. People ask me if I mind being the third choice … (1 comments)

colorado: We Are Blessed In Colorado. By Dan Polimino. - 03/13/12 06:07 AM
Being in the real estate business, I hear people grumbling all the time about the market. It comes from buyers, sellers, and agents. I often wonder if they really know how blessed we are in Colorado compared to other real estate markets across the country. 
I heard a story of man in Las Vegas that sold his BMW for $30,000. He then took that money and bought not only one, but TWO $15,000 condos. Each condo was a relatively new build, two-bed and one-bath. He rented each condo for over $900 a month and in his first year made almost … (1 comments)

colorado: Don’t Get Caught in the Impact Zone. By Dan Polimino. - 02/28/12 05:57 AM
Over the Holidays, I was vacationing in Hawaii and if you have ever been to Hawaii in the winter, you know that you can expect some great swells. The North Shore of Oahu is famous for their 20-foot swells in the winter. I was on the Big Island where the waves are much smaller and that was a good thing because I am far from being a pro when it comes to boogie boarding or surfing. Nonetheless, I wanted to teach my son and daughter to boogie board so we headed out to tackle the waves. While they did great, I, … (2 comments)
