listings: The Importance of Multiple Photos in Real Estate Advertising - 11/19/07 09:50 PM
When selling your Home  - or even thinking about selling your home, one of the BEST things that you can do is make sure your agent takes as many high quality photos of your home as possible.
The Pikes Peak MLS allows Colorado Springs Realtors® to put in up to 16 full-color photos for each of our listings. Almost ANY home in Colorado Springs can offer at least 16 good photos. Even smaller homes can get some great yard and view shots.

listings: Active Rain: More Than Just a Real Estate Chat Room - We Mean Business! - 03/03/07 05:31 AM
Yay! We got an offer on a home that we have listed in Colorado Springs.

See, they had been listed with a different agent for the last 6 months, and had almost no showings, let alone an offer.
This is all so wonderful! A great "story for the books" in the world of real estate. But, this is more than a great real estate story.

listings: Safe Listings - Safe Showings - Colorado Springs Embraces the Electronic Lockbox - 03/03/07 01:23 AM
Your house is your castle - even when you want to sell it. Security is always an issue, especially when there are people in and out of your house at any given time of day for showings. How your house is shown and accessed by agents can play a large role in your safety and in a successful sale.
Many cities in the nation do not use lockboxes and require the listing agent to attend every showing, even when the home is being shown by another agent. I beleive that there are too many drawbacks to this approach:
If an agent has more … (28 comments)
