colorado springs real estate agent: Real Estate Agent Communication Courtesies - 03/13/19 12:11 PM
 
 
Over the past couple of years as the Colorado Springs market has gone through a very tight inventory market we have learned what is important and can make or break a deal or an opportunity.  Some of the take aways for me include:

I thought a fun list of things I am grateful for in Colorado Springs would be a great blog post for New Years Eve and the end of 2018.

colorado springs real estate agent: It's a Sellers Market & Patience is The Answer - 03/27/16 12:10 PM
Whether you are a buyer or a seller in a sellers market patience is a virtue.  With houses going on the market and offers coming in either the first 24 hours, the first week, first two weeks or the first month it is the person with the most patience who often claims success.

colorado springs real estate agent: How to Get Involved In Your Community - 07/30/15 07:29 AM
Getting involved in your local community is a great way to meet new people, learn something new, give back, and feel more connected.

If you think you don't have the time, a more recent study concluded that busy working adults who volunteered were "happier with their work-life balance than those who don't volunteer". Many people consider giving their time but are not always sure where to start looking. Think about what places could use your skills or knowledge and give them a call to see if they could … (1 comments)
