colorado springs realty: More things that make me smile in Colorado - Part I - 04/24/08 12:31 AM

More Things that Make Me Smile in Colorado -- Mother Nature at her Best
Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.
Frank Lloyd Wright
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.
Ann Frank

colorado springs realty: Inspections -- To Stay or Not to Stay? - 04/16/08 12:27 AM

Inspections – to stay or not to say
Yesterday I had a buyer conduct an inspection on an occupied house that he is under contract on. The house is located in a nice quiet neighborhood, in the central part of Colorado Springs.
My business practice is that I meet the buyer and the inspector at the house and unlock the house for them. I often times leave for a little bit to get some other work done while the inspection is going on and then come back. From a risk management viewpoint, I've always been taught not to stick around … (60 comments)

colorado springs realty: The beauty of Colorado -- I feel blessed to live here - 04/09/08 12:35 PM

I wanted to share a recent photo I took. I was taking a walk the other day; and it was so gorgeous, I just had to share it. I live in in the foothills, part way in between Colorado Springs and Denver. This photo reminds me why I'm fortunate to live in such a breathtaking area. I remind myself that I never want to take our amazing scenery for granted; it's a privilege to live here. I feel blessed!

colorado springs realty: Home office mascots -- things that make me smile - 04/08/08 12:39 AM

Do you have a home office mascot?
As a Colorado Springs Realtor, there are many advantages to working at a home office.
I'm very blessed to live in the gorgeous state of Colorado and I live in the foothills close to Colorado Springs and Denver. I can watch the deer, squirrels, birds, and the occasional bear from my office windows.
I also have my home office mascots, Gracie and Pico that help me work and make me smile.
Hope they help you smile today!

colorado springs realty: Appraisals -- Common Misconceptions - 04/04/08 12:44 PM

Appraisals – Common Misconceptions

Did you know that the appraisal is owned by the person or business that orders it, not the person who pays for it?
As an example, if the bank orders the appraisal they actually own it.
Did you know that the appraisal is typically done for the benefit of the lender not the buyer?
If the bank orders it, they want to know that the property appraises correctly before they loan money on a property.
Did you know that the buyer has a choice on the appraiser?
According to the OCC, the borrower can select … (6 comments)

colorado springs realty: Listing agents -- please make properties easy to show - 04/01/08 03:53 AM

Listing agents -Please make properties easy to show
Warning ............. this is a little bit of a rant. Yesterday, I was showing 8 properties to a very qualified buyer I'm working with. One property she wanted to see took me calling three different times to get an answer if it was available to show.
The listing agent was with a small company, who wasn't staffed on the weekends. I made the appointments on Saturday for a Monday afternoon tour of homes. The contact info on our MLS was their office #, where I left a message on Saturday morning. After not … (4 comments)

colorado springs realty: Trulia Heat Maps -- Do you utilize them? - 03/30/08 12:54 AM

I came across the Heat Maps on Trulia for El Paso County in Colorado. Since I'm a an extremely visual person, I think it's a great tool.
I deal with a lot of internet buyers moving into the area, so the more data and information I can give them about how pricing varies in the city, makes their search easier. I do statistics by zip code, but sometimes a picture can say much more.
Let me know if you utilize this site for your clients -- I'd love to hear your input.
