I work with a team of people in Denver and we get them sold together. If you do these right, there is plenty of business to b...

Here in Denver, Colorado the weather was beautiful today (low 60's to be exact) and I was able to get a property under contract for one of my buyers the 3rd week into January. I have another qualified buyer that I will be showing properties to this week. All I can say is that if this keeps up, th...
