windsor co: Insurance and the Tornado, Windsor, Colorado - 06/02/08 03:44 AM
 This weekend I was able to visit with several of my homeowners that lost their homes in the tornado and how things were going for them.  Now keep in mind these people lost about everything and my guess is that they are still in some shock.  However the news is uplifting.  They are all pleased with the way they are being serviced by their insurance.  They have all been relocated or at least have found a place.  They have money in their pockets and new beds, bedding, some clothing and food.  They are putting things together piece by piece.

windsor co: Homes Clean Up After Windsor Colorado Tornado - 05/30/08 04:40 AM
The clean up here has been inspiring and amazing.  What a place to call home!  My daughter Hannah and I went out the other day and just started to clean where needed, the next thing we knew we were joined by other volunteers.  It was an amazing experience.  We over filled a 20 yard dumpster in 30 minutes!  A great experience.  Once it was full we all walked to another area and started again.
As to the lives of the victims is still stressful.  There is need for men's and children clothing (Women always seem to have clothing to share).  Diapers, … (3 comments)

Day by day, hour by hour we take great leaps towards getting our community back.  Again today those affected by the devastation of the tornado in Windsor Colorado and those who are wanting to help meet and clean.  The streets are passable and the debris is leaving the yards.  Roofs are covered, windows are boarded up and electricity is coming back.  The best news I can share it that spirits are still high and all sharing the same goal.
Look for pictures in the future days.

Wow, what an amazing day.  Yesterday was the first day homeowners that were hit hard by the tornado in Windsor, Colorado were able to get to their homes and assess the damage.  Once they had time to see what their home was like it was time to call in the community to help; and help Windsor did!  From noon until 6:00 at night (curfew still in place) we worked.  We cleaned yards, found boxes, loaded boxes, covered what we could, secured homes and moved people.  You see the pictures on television but they are just that, it isn't until you are there with the debris, your friends and family that … (1 comments)

windsor co: Looking for answers about what follows a natural disaster! Help Please - 05/25/08 01:41 AM
Yesterday my family and I spent the day helping families who have been displaced by the tornado in Windsor Colorado.  Now I am looking to my professional network to help answer many questions.  If you can help I would love to hear from you.
Are the homes that are fixed and not condemned hurt at resale? What if you disagree with the assessment of your home.  Can a homeowner bring in an engineer and dispute the insurance adjusters opinion? Any idea on time frame for repairs?  102 homes are destroyed and the remainder are to be repaired? How does the disaster … (1 comments)

windsor co: A Tornado Went Through My Hometown! - 05/23/08 10:54 AM
Yesterday was a bitter day.  I received a call from my 20 year old son (Ryan) that a tornado had just ripped through the lumber yard where he working this summer and most of the north east corner of town was destroyed.  Of course I am at work at RE/MAX Alliance in Loaveland only 20 miles away but way too far when you have another child home alone.  I was on one off ramp for over 20 minutes alone.  During this time there is no cell service available.  Fortunately for my family is all together and fine however our community did not fare as well.
My hometown is Windsor, Colorado.  All three of my children have … (3 comments)

windsor co: Style of Homes that Sold in Windsor Colorado - 04/08/08 03:42 PM
I was curious about what style of homes are selling in comparison to others last year.  So I decided to run the numbers.  I only ran homes that sold last year in Windsor in Weld County.  What I found is this:  54% of the homes that sold were Ranch style, 4% were Bi-Levels, 6% Multi Level and 36% were 2 Story homes. 
We already know that Ranch homes are more expensive do to the building costs.  We also know that anyone can buy a ranch home, due to the lack of stairs and accessibility. Multi level homes and 2 stories still appeal to many … (0 comments)

windsor co: Absorption Rate for Windsor Homes Priced Between $100,000 and $150,000 - 04/08/08 03:21 PM
The absorption rates vary per price point.  When considering putting your home on the market it is one tool that is used in determining price.  Price points that have an absorption rate of longer than 5 to 6 months is considered a buyers market.  Does this mean that there is a lot of negotiating for homes priced in those having a longer absorption rate?  No, not really.  As mentioned earlier it is a tool to use when pricing a home.  It is also important to know the competition!  As said an absorption rate is just one tool.  With that being said, … (0 comments)

windsor co: Have you heard about the new FHA limits in Weld County? - 04/06/08 04:04 PM
Listen up!  FHA recently released the new purchase limit for Weld County.  I was shocked!  Get this the new purchase limit is...$417,000.  That right you can qualify for an FHA loan for a home upto $417,000.  That is no jumbo loan!
Don't forget that FHA offers many opportunities and can be a great place to start when looking of financing to purchase a home.  It is also recommended that you get more than one opinion on loan programs and make sure you compare good faith estimates.
