colorado springs real estate: Bill McAfee’s version – Colorado Springs Real Estate
- 04/29/11 04:19 AM
Bill McAfee, President of Empire Title, authored an article entitled, “Be afraid, be very afraid!!!” The point he was making is that it’s okay to be afraid of things out of our control, such as world events and various acts of nature. On the other hand, when it comes to Colorado Springs Real Estate, there are many reasons that we do not have to be afraid. Here are some things for which Mr. McAfee elaborated regarding the positives about our real estate market, “population growth, and decrease in foreclosure numbers, inventory levels, new build inventory and the lack of investor … (12 comments)

colorado springs real estate: Is An Exit Strategy Really Needed In Business?
- 04/28/11 05:14 AM
Earlier this year, I had telephone conversations with a couple (Ron & Alexandra Seigel), who are members on Active Rain, and also, who I consider among the cream of the crop when it comes to the importance of branding – how to effectively communicate the abstract regarding who you are and what you do into a simplified physical voice for others to understand. As well, they have some very insightful ideas about business in general.
During one conversation with them, I was asked if Cherise and I had an exit strategy regarding our Colorado Springs Real Estate business. Though I … (11 comments)

- 04/27/11 04:59 AM
Proposed legislation, titled “Prompt Decision for Qualification for Short Sale Act of 2011,” was recently brought to Congress by Representatives Tom Rooney (R-FL) and Robert Andrews (D-NJ).
According to an article written in The Colorado Springs Real Estate Journal, this new bill would improve the process for approving short sales. Also backed by the National Association of Realtors, “…a deadline of 45 days on lenders to respond to short sales requests” comprise some of the contents of this piece of legislation.
As a Colorado Springs Realtor, this bill (if it has enough teeth to pass) would be a stepping stone … (10 comments)

colorado springs real estate: I’ve Got You Now - You're Not Going Anywhere!
- 03/29/11 04:12 AM
Laughter resounds through the room as the handcuffs come out of the drawer while I pull up the buyer agency agreement. Sometimes the road to building loyalty and trust is paved out of a little bit of humor. I’ll try to keep it PG-13. You see, it seems like I’ve read many blogs lately in which there have been several instances of buyer disloyalty toward his or her Realtor®. In Colorado, a Buyer Agency relationship is the “hiring” document to employ the Realtor to negotiate on the Buyer’s behalf.
Nonetheless, it’s common for relocation clients to try to “shop” a … (18 comments)
