about arvada: How Much Does It Cost to Sell Your Colorado Home? - 06/03/11 01:46 AM
Everyone wants to know the bottom line when selling their home, what price to list at is only the first question.
One cost is the real estate agent's commission. It is true that there is no 'set' fee, but keep in mind that a big part of an agent's job is attracting other agents to bring their clients to see your house. Buyer's agents expect a certain portion of the listing agent's commission to be paid out to them. It is stated in the MLS exactly how much each seller's agent is offering the buyer agents. So, when negotiating a fee … (0 comments)

about arvada: About Arvada - Neighborhoods, Stores, Things to Do, Local Info - 06/03/11 01:31 AM
Life in Arvada is the subject of several posts I've written on neighborhoods, merchants and stores, things to do, and other local info, with the hope of helping those trying to get a feel for life here. So I collected all those posts here.
The idea was to keep it maintained, adding posts as I generate them.
However, I have more than one blog now, so maintaining this post has become burdensome. I am maintaining the other version of this post on my blog, HomesDenvertoBoulder.com.  Please read About Arvada Life via my other post, it will be more up to date!

about arvada: 40 Years of Community Gardening About to Be Pushed Aside? - 03/04/11 11:04 AM
How much is a community garden worth to Arvada?
Arvada Gardeners have been building community and providing food both for themselves AND the Arvada food bank in the same spot for over 40 years. Now, the City (AURA - Arvada Urban Renewal Authority) might take the property, for the benefit of private builders and the taxes it will bring in (an apartment complex).
Such a shame! A beautiful place that has been touted over and over again by local media, and the City of Arvada itself, is losing out to become … well … nothing special.  Arvada will lose a piece … (4 comments)

about arvada: Make Lagniappe Part of Your Christmas Festivities in Arvada CO - 10/27/10 03:36 PM
Have you heard of Lagniappe? (Pronounced lawn-yahp)  
Once a year, Olde Town Arvada businesses thank their loyal customers with small gifts. Some merchants will give a small token to anyone who stops in, such as cookies or hot chocolate.  Some merchants will give small gifts with a purchase.
I looked up the word, 'lagniappe', and it has roots in French, Spanish and Creole tradition. Mark Twain wrote about this word in 'Life on the Mississippi'.  Mr. Twain said it's pronounced 'lanny-yap', though. 
And now - it's an annual event in the small town where I live! Mr. Twain wrote, "It has … (10 comments)

about arvada: Household Trash Talk Between Denver and Boulder - 09/27/10 04:10 PM
I was raised in the Portland, Oregon area, where residents have to crush every object flat before they trash it, because they have such a limited amount that they can put out for collection. It's always seemed lazy and wasteful to take advantage of the fact that the amount of trash we put out every week here in Arvada Colorado is virtually unlimited.
But I've gotten used to it. I may have to learn some new tricks.
The City of Arvada, and other nearby cities, are planning to create city-wide trash collection policies.
This is a good thing.
Currently, *every homeowner … (6 comments)
