denver: Appraisals Are a Problem Again. By Dan Polimino. - 08/06/12 05:41 PM
When the market crashed in 2008, you heard story after story of homes that were priced at $500,000, but appraised at $425,000. There clearly was a shift in the market. The buyers picked up on the shift right away, the appraisers followed behind shortly thereafter, and it took about two years for the sellers to get the message. Eventually, sellers came to terms with the loss in the value of their homes and started pricing more at market value. Buyers were still buying, appraisers were doing their best to stay ahead of the curve, and real estate agents were getting their … (0 comments)

denver: Investor Overlays. By Dan Polimino. - 07/30/12 09:56 PM
Let’s face the fact that it’s not easy getting a home loan these days. While the real estate market has turned around here in Denver and in other parts of the country, the lending environment is still lagging behind. The restrictions and guidelines have not gotten any better. In fact, in some cases, they have gotten worse with fewer people becoming eligible to get a home loan. 
Not all lenders are created equal and for that reason, we try to counsel our clients to seek out lenders who hold their loans and do not sell them in the secondary market. … (0 comments)

denver: One Month Left In The Selling Season. By Dan Polimino. - 06/18/12 09:13 PM
There’s just about a month left in this year’s selling season. If you have not listed your home yet and were thinking about selling, it’s not too late. We still have the month of July to get your home on the market and get it closed before the start of the school season.  
This does not mean that you can’t sell your home at all this year; it only means that the best time of the year to sell a home is about to end. The second best selling season is from September 15th to November 15th. Fall is not … (1 comments)

denver: Sold For Full Price In One Day. By Dan Polimino. - 06/11/12 09:12 PM
“Sold For Full Price In One Day!” That was a statement that people used back in the “good old days.” You remember the good old days, don’t you? Now looking back, most of us realize that those days were actually not so good and some people got in trouble. 
I am here to say that these days maybe coming back! If you speak with a Realtor who is doing business in Denver, I am sure that they have a few stories of homes that they have sold this past spring for full price, over asking price, or sold in a … (4 comments)

denver: You Cannot Say Enough About Referrals. By Dan. - 05/29/12 12:12 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, just … (0 comments)

This week’s column is dedicated to my brethren in real estate. I know that many of you read this column on a weekly basis. I know this because of your continued emails and phone calls, or in the course of doing business together. I am always flattered when a fellow agent contacts me to tell me how much they enjoy reading my column. I equally appreciate it when fellow agents contact me and tell me how much they disagree with what I write in my column. We may not agree on every topic I write, but I always humbly recognize your … (2 comments)

denver: It’s Not Much Fun Being A Buyer’s Agent These Days. By Dan Polimino. - 04/30/12 05:15 PM
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)

denver: How To Make Moving Fun. By Dan Polimino. - 04/22/12 05:05 PM
Let’s face it: moving is stressful for everyone involved and sometimes it’s hardest on the kids. Moving to a new neighborhood or even a new state means leaving your friends, maybe some family, and your familiar territory behind. For parents trying to help their kids make the adjustment, there are a few tips you can do to ease the anxiety. Here are a few of my favorites. 
1) Let each child pick their new room and then help them personalize it. Every child has their own personality and this is a great opportunity to let them express that. This will … (0 comments)

denver: Denver Second in U.S. for Quickest Sales - 04/19/12 07:50 PM
Buyers must act fast to get dream home. By Steve Raabe The Denver Post 
New advice from the trenches on buying a home: Look early. Think fast. Hone your quick-draw skills with the checkbook. 
Metro Denver’s real estate market, not long ago a buyer’s domain, suddenly has shifted to a seller’s paradise, at least in some neighborhoods and price ranges. 
Realtors’ offices are rife with fresh anecdotes of sellers happily cherry-picking from multiple offers - some of them above the asking price. 
How fast is the market moving? A new report shows that Denver is No. 2 … (2 comments)

denver: Act now! 10 major housing markets with the shortest supply of homes - 04/09/12 07:14 PM
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.
"I'm not sure what magic thing happened … (6 comments)

denver: The Quiet Listing. By Dan Polimino. - 03/26/12 07:48 PM
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)

denver: I Was My Mother’s Third Choice - 03/19/12 08:05 PM
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)
