fort colins realtor: Who is under stress in your market? (for the first time in a long time maybe Both!) - 08/04/09 08:41 AM
It has been an interesting real estate market as of late.  Although i have been investing and working in Real Estate for 12 years.  (my whole adult life if you call me an adult)  I have never been through a period of time like this.  Many times in the deals i have been working there have been reasons for the Buyers to feel stressed.  Rates are going up.  Prices are too high based on affordability. There have also been times for sellers to feel stress.  The builders are over supplying the market. Rates are going up making homes less affordable.  Whatever … (0 comments)

For a debtor to go through refinancing after bankruptcy, it is important that he goes through a means test. This is a test used … (0 comments)

Winner takes all.  Lucky for me my office is walking distance to both.  To keep this contest even i order a Cheese Burger from both with my control toppings.  (ketchup and mustard)  Both Burgers are very good but i have to give the Smash Burger the crown in this contest.  To me the Smash Burger was a bit Juicier and had a superior Bun.  However if you feel the need just call me and i would be more then happy to go with you and test again!

fort colins realtor: SNOW SNOW - 04/17/09 10:05 AM
I love Colorado.  We are so lucky to have such great conditions and exciting weather.  Last week i think most people had planned to get ready for spring and get the sprinklers on.  Then in comes another last blast of winter putting a couple of feet of wet snow on the ground.  I can tell you my yard has sure greened up and it makes for some great reasons to eat comfort food!

fort colins realtor: Man on Wire. - 04/14/09 11:35 AM

Last night i had the great opportunity to watch a documentary called man on wire.  This was far and away one of the most amazing things i have even seen.  it is the story of a man who wanted to walk on a high wire between the twin tower in New York.  The lengths that he went to to achieve this dream was amazing.  He basically had to do it.  It was his obsession. 
To be very honest at this point it was a hard show for me to watch.  I am very afraid of heights and this film made … (4 comments)
