The home that was listed for such a long time was a football player that left town.     It was finally staged and sold -- and the stager is at our Aurora Association of Realtors!    If you need a great stager in Denver - Mico Smith!

Our luxury market is doing well, and nice to see our higher-end priced homes still moving.    Denver's economy is doing pretty well.
