Just as we should all have regular check ups with our Doctor, and regular visits to service our vehicles, I like to give my database an annual once over. I do regular database maintenance, such as backing up, and a quick review of who's an A, B, C or D(elete), but

Appraisal CYA - 02/25/08 11:35 PM
With many appraisors in hot water over bogus appraisals in the past few years, justifying unrealistic prices, which in turn may be responsible for some pretty large bank losses. It seems there is a segment of the appraisal community erring to the other side of the equation. I've had a couple

Some news out that may get the medial to quit reporting only the negative aspects to our economy and housing market. As a follow up to a post from yesterday, where the comments tended to be more politcal regarding oil companies, and debate over economic theory. I wanted to tell everyone about the impact of

Denver Area Foreclosures - New Record! - 02/21/08 01:49 PM
While the bloodbath (bloodbath may be a little harsh) may be nearing an end, the data keeps pouring in and 2007 kind of sucked! OK for almost, 40,000 Coloradoans, it really sucked! Almost 40,000 homes were foreclosed on in Colorado last year (39,915 to be exact), that breaks a record set

A Great Place to Live - Greenwood Village - 02/19/08 12:42 PM
Greenwood Village is truly a great place to live.

Government Lifeline: Missing Piece to foreclosure mess? - 02/14/08 01:56 PM
So the Government and the Mortgage industry are close to figuring out the Foreclosure debacle. The proposal now will give an extra 30 days to try and figure it out. In Colorado, that means that you can miss a couple payments, and then by law, the lender (through the public trustee) gives you
