colorado springs real estate: First-Time Homebuyers – Please listen to Your Realtor®
- 03/02/11 03:38 AM
Throughout my career I have always enjoyed working with first-time homebuyers in the Colorado Springs Real Estate market. Without doubt, the personal reward of placing these clients into their first home brings me great joy, no matter the difficulties we might sometimes encounter.
Then (in past years) and now, my emphasis has been to walk these particular clients through the entire process of purchasing their first-home, being extremely conscientious about their questions as well as their needs.
In a nutshell, I have focused on prudent financial strategies for them, as well as finding the best home possible that fits their … (19 comments)

colorado springs real estate: How Has the Market Affected You?
- 03/01/11 06:57 AM
Last week, when having a conversation with a title company manager, I bluntly asked him, “How has the market affected you?” I think my question caught him off guard, as he had no reply to my inquiry.
Yet, when I ask myself this very same question, which I already have over and over again during the past two years, I do have a sobering response.
Obviously, real estate has changed significantly since the 4th quarter of 2006, both for the consumer, as well as for the professional who is occupationally-tied to this industry in one way or another.
Simply put, … (28 comments)

Today is February 25th, and I’m telling you the Spring season is already here, not concerning baseball, but in terms of the flurry about Colorado Springs Real Estate.
Sellers and buyers are getting off the fence and are now confidently getting back into real estate, whether that relates to our local market or from another region of the United States as relocation inquiries continue to gain momentum.
Empirically speaking, our phones are ringing off the hook and our internet leads have doubled since last month.

colorado springs real estate: Inviting One, or possibly Two, Colorado Springs Realtors to Selley Group Real Estate, LLC
- 02/18/11 01:34 AM
This is a recruiting blog for one, or possibly two Colorado Springs Realtors, whose instincts are screaming that they need to make a change in the way they do the Colorado Springs Real Estate business. It’s easy to hold on to the “wait and see” approach when your real estate sales are unproductive. Only if the market improves, I’ll be okay. Or if a few more plans are made, maybe these will pan out down the road and then I can survive another year. Or, if my sellers start lowering their listing prices even more competitively, this will surely attract … (5 comments)

colorado springs real estate: Banks can help to spur housing recovery
- 02/10/11 03:46 AM
Relative to the Colorado Springs Real Estate market, I’ve already thrown my hat into the ring when assessing the numbers for January this year. Actually, the market is already generating healthy indications of activity, as we’ve seen no more than 1% performance differences between January 2010 and January 2011. And this is without any federal stimulus or tax credit incentives.
In an article written by Lawrence Yun, who is the chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, he comments about market efficacy, “…the most effective solution for promoting growth and getting the housing market (nationally) moving may rest with … (6 comments)

colorado springs real estate: Our Real Estate Why?
- 02/08/11 02:34 AM
Loreena Yeo wrote a blog, entitled, “What’s Your Real Estate Why?” which basically inquires as to what keeps your real estate heart beating. Cherise and I have been asked to elaborate about our story as this relates to our “Real Estate Why?”
At this juncture in the practice of real estate, “Why” is a very good question, given the fact that being a Colorado Springs Realtor seems to come with more challenges nowadays than what Cherise encountered nearly 14 years ago, as commissions were smaller then and interest rates were much higher and she was just getting her feet … (12 comments)

colorado springs real estate: Getting the Deal done even while being robbed
- 02/07/11 03:13 AM
Before the clock had struck midnight on Friday evening, I was still putting a deal together with a 12:00 noon deadline on Saturday. Because I had two other clients to attend to (a buyer and a new listing) throughout the next day, it was imperative for me to properly get this deal contracted before the start of my weekend workday.
Nevertheless, doing business as a Colorado Springs Realtor these days takes quite a bit of moxie and extra hard work to really get the job done. And sometimes, we’re faced with some highly unusual circumstances for which we must plow … (12 comments)

colorado springs real estate: Innovation and Education are Vital Components about moving in Change
- 01/26/11 07:34 AM
Part of what was encouraging about President Obama’s State of the Union speech last night not only involved the tone of political centricities, but Cherise and I were impressed with his vision-casting about the innovative ideas regarding energy and transportation.
Granted, during our lifetimes, presidential speeches tend to offer generalities about how to move forward as a nation against some unimaginable obstacles. Everything and every bit of political collateral, including the kitchen sink, per say, gets thrown into the blender to make up the next theme of the second term of most presidents’ bids for re-election.
Nonetheless, Obama’s speech got … (8 comments)

colorado springs real estate: Making HAFA More Effective
- 01/11/11 04:13 AM
The Obama Administration’s attempt to modify or to refinance mortgages through the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA) has been a conundrum this past year, to say the least.
Nonetheless, according to Jeremy Brandt, Founder and CEO of FastHomeOffer.com, the Treasury Department has changed some rules to make short sales a little easier.
Here are some of the primary changes to HAFA that Jeremy Brandt reports:
-Those seeking a short sale must get an answer within 30 days - Servicers are no longer required to verify a borrower's financial information - Servicers are no longer required to determine if the … (4 comments)

colorado springs real estate: Navigating economically through the “New Normal” today!
- 12/09/10 08:07 AM
Do you know what the “new normal”is? Here’s what I think it is.
Regardless of the woes of the eco-geo-political scene, consumers are becoming immune to the plethora of bad press. That’s all you hear nowadays. And when trying to wrap your head around the global iniquities, well…it’s simply mindboggling.
In fact, there is not too much any of us can do about the depth of problems facing our country. Essentially, we have very little control over those who live in our community, our culture, or matter of fact, over those who reside half way around the globe.
Days of … (16 comments)
