denver: Special Opportunity for all Home Buyers!!! - 08/05/09 09:01 PM
I am happy to announce a special opportunity for all buyers! On July 1st, we launched a new web site called www.Firsttimehomebuyerdenverco.com. The purpose of this website is to educate and help first time home buyers purchase their first home. Buying your first home can be an overwhelming experience and we wanted to take away the hesitation or the fear that someone might have in taking this big step. The government is offering an $8,000 dollar tax credit for first time home buyers and while people would like to take advantage of that, they have questions and are not sure if … (0 comments)

denver: I’ve Looked At 100 Homes. By Dan Polimino - 08/03/09 05:30 AM
I heard these words come out of a buyer’s mouth the other day, “I have looked at over 100 homes and still have not found my perfect home.” I cringed when I heard that sentence and thought to myself, “If she has looked at 100 homes and still has not found her perfect home, chances are, she’s not going to find it.” Then I thanked my lucky stars that I was not her real estate agent.
Listen, no one needs or should be looking at 100 homes to find the perfect home and here are the whys:
The perfect home doesn’t … (0 comments)

denver: Print is Not Dead. By Dan Polimino - 07/27/09 01:34 AM
Ok, full disclosure: Yes, as you can see, I write for the Denver Post, but the Denver Post does not tell me what I can or cannot write. Nor did they ask me to write this piece. I am writing it because it’s true and it’s valuable information to the real estate community. Now with that out of way, let’s get to the rest of the story.
As many of you know from reading this column, one of my specialties is marketing. I enjoy it, study it, follow the trends, and track closely what works and what doesn’t. Over the last … (0 comments)

denver: What’s Your Syndication Model? By Dan Polimino - 07/20/09 09:25 PM
No question, the internet has changed the face of real estate and everyone seems to be scrambling, trying to figure out how you win the real estate game online. There are social networking blogs, IDX data searches, mobile plug-ins for your phone, national real estate web portals and yes, syndication.
What is syndication? It’s taking a piece of information and placing it on various sources across the internet. In the past, people would make their real estate listing, blogs, and articles available for syndication, but it was based on the premise that someone had to come to find your material … (0 comments)

denver: The Chasm, By Dan Polimino - 07/12/09 07:57 PM
It’s safe to say that there has never been a bigger chasm between seller and buyer than what we are experiencing right now. Sellers are getting offers anywhere from 10K off their asking price to several hundred thousand dollars off their asking price. So where is the disconnection and who is right in this real estate market? Let’s consider a few points.
First, most buyers would say that the sellers are just not being realistic in their asking price. I would say that this is a fair statement for some, but no all. Over the last year, sellers have seen the … (0 comments)

denver: The Bearer of Bad News, By Dan Polimino - 06/28/09 05:17 PM
Lately, we (realtors) have the unenviable task of being the bearers of bad news. It seems more than ever we are having conversations with people about what the market is telling us regarding the price of their home, or we are talking to sellers about lowering the price of their property. As expected and given the recession, rarely is it good or welcomed news. I know that a lot of home owners believe that there is a course in real estate school wherein the first thing an agent is taught is to recite the following sentence, “We need to lower the … (0 comments)

denver: Communication & Expectations, By Dan Polimino - 06/21/09 06:44 PM
Without a doubt, communication and expectations are two of the biggest problems we have in real estate today. By no means does real estate corner the market on a lack of communication or failure to manage expectations, but these are two topics that seem to come up a lot in conversations.
There are two types of sellers out there. The first type wants to be clued in on every step that the realtor makes including all marketing pieces, emails, phone calls, and discussions. The second type is very bottom line oriented who tells the realtor to go and do his or … (0 comments)

denver: Integrity, By Dan Polimino - 06/14/09 08:37 PM
The story goes like this: A friend of mine who is a mortgage lender was really upset and was having a horrible week when I called. It turns out that he got involved in a loan transaction for some questionable people (both the buyer and real estate agent). Now, what he knew and when he knew it is not germane to the story, but the bottom line is that my friend took all the blame when things went bad even though he was not at fault and was out significant time and money.
I seem to hear one story after another … (0 comments)

denver: Moving In To Make Ends Meet, By Dan Polimino - 06/09/09 06:43 PM
Last week, I wrote a column about the human toll of foreclosure. Not exactly an upbeat story, but one that needed to be told. This week is a feel good story about the never say die attitude of Americans and how coming together as a family may just be the answer to difficult economic times.
It was in April when I was watching a news story on a cable network channel about an immigrant father who purchased his first new home well into his latter working years. He bought it at the peak or at the top of the housing boom. … (0 comments)
