Earlier today one of my past clients filled out a survey and I was humbled to read her generous recommendation. It is very gratifying to receive this type of affirmation. This is what she wrote: Everyone at Keller Williams is extremely experienced and helpful, but David Timm certainly knows what he's doing.

real estate: Why I do what I do.
- 08/09/10 05:25 AM
Last week I helped a CSU graduate student buy her first home. It was a foreclosure and needed some TLC. After a week I asked here how things were going. This was her response: Everything is going well. We definitely are neck deep and exhausted every night but we're slowly chipping away at everything. It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do and how much better the house smells since ripping up that carpet. Once again, thanks for all your help with getting the house. I couldn't be happier (well, I'll be much happier when it is done)!C. This … (2 comments)

real estate: Visiting past clients
- 09/27/09 03:48 PM
Yesterday I was invited to an open house hosted by some home buyers that I helped earlier this summer. I was thrilled that they invited me to come see their home and proudly show off their investment. The home is in Wellington, Colorado in the Meadows Subdivision. They purchased the home as a short sale. As first time home buyers they were very patient but the last few weeks were quite harrowing at times. Since Wellington qualifies for the Rural housing financing from USDA they took advantage of not only the first time buyers tax credit of $8000 but also a … (2 comments)

- 06/17/09 04:23 PM
So far this week I have done 3 listing prsentations and they have all gone pretty well. It is kind of funny when we get to the marketing portion.

This week I did not once mention nor was I asked about Print ads. We do use some print ads but usually as a service to a client who requests it. What sparks their intrest is our viral marketing campaigns. Blogging, you tube, facebook, Craigslist ...... We used … (1 comments)

real estate: First time buyers 2
- 11/30/08 01:58 PM
Working with first time buyers is a passion of mine. The challenge is getting the first time buyers to talk with you. Once I do get a chance to talk with them I believe the education is the most important thing I can offer at the beginning. Most folks just don't know what they are doing. I feel my first step is to educate. I like to sit down and talk about The steps in the home buying process. I start with have they looked into financing. depending of the answer we talk about current first time buyer options. I always have them … (2 comments)
