Moe Giroux on the road from Senior Space Shuttle Engineer to Real Estate Broker

Kathy Soltero: Hi I am Kathy Soltero with Metro Brokers TV and today in the studio we have Moe Giroux, Moe thanks so much for coming in.

Moe Giroux: Thanks for having me Kathy.

Kathy Soltero: You bet, tell me about your real estate career.

Moe Giroux: I got into real estate business in 1981. I started with Moe and Company back then. After a couple of years in the business I realized if you are going to be in this business and do some business you need to be in the 100% concept and at the time Metro Brokers were still getting going and the only company that was in office that was in my area was RE/MAX. So I joined RE/MAX in 1984 spend eight years there then I realized that you got to be in the business its time to do my own thing and that's what I did I joined Metro Brokers.

Kathy Soltero: And what areas of real estate do you actually specialize here?

Moe Giroux: I own the Metro Brokers office down town its called the Littleton South West office its down in the Ken Caryl Business Center which is basically the South West part of the town.

Kathy Soltero: And so you focus on that area or how many regions?

Moe Giroux: I do focus on that area but wherever the client takes me as well I go whatever the problem is whatever their issue is, within reason you know I go down the Castle Rock or Parker, Aurora is getting a little far away end up North is a little far away but in general it's the Denver South West Metro area.

Kathy Soltero: What did you do before real estate?

Moe Giroux: I was actually a senior engineer on the space shuttle program that [Inaudible] air space that's what brought me here in 1980, and realized right away that that corporate world wasn't quite for me and ended up getting my real estate license and haven't looked back its been great.

Kathy Soltero: With all the foreclosures and short sales and bank owned properties that sort of thing out there, do you specialize in any of those or what do you do?

Moe Giroux: Everything you just said. If you are not working those issues, you are not doing much business because that's, that's the majority of the market is, things are changing I think, the properties that are owned by people that are not foreclosures or bank owned they are realizing they need to compete and they are doing so. So we are starting to see more and more of let's say call the regular market coming out there, but in general yeah there is a still a lot of short sales out there and a lot of bank owned properties.

Kathy Soltero: Okay Moe Giroux, thank you very much for joining us on Metro Brokers TV.
