video: Fake News? A VIDEO: Charlie debates Charlie for the Truth
- 11/10/18 04:25 PM
Statistics can often be misleading. Especially when there's just not that many numbers comprising of the stats. I live and work in a small resort town in Colorado. Each month I'm torn between reporting the stats or digging up the truth. This month I did both. ; ) From Ski Town USA - the debate about the stats.

video: Selling Real Estate with a Lifestyle Video
- 12/23/14 02:51 AM
Lifestyle is what we do outside our homes. And that's important in real estate. Location, location, location. Lakefront and ski properties always sell for more. My new listing just happens to be next to miles of open space used for mountain biking, hiking, skate skiing and more. So I went about this new real estate video highlighting the location and lifestyle of the area. Yes, we’re selling real estate but we’re also selling the lifestyle that comes with the location. And when I asked the owners / sellers what’s the best thing about the home? – They said, “living so close to … (6 comments)

video: What's a Real Estate Video Worth?
- 07/21/13 11:35 PM
What's a Real Estate Video Worth? Better Homes & Gardens featured this home for its rooftop garden. It's also been on tour for its amazing kitchen. Not to mention the one-of-a-kind location in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. So when faced with a task to market and sell this home, I felt a video would be best to spread the word and really show the world what this home is all about.
Over 90% of buyers start their real estate search on the internet. But having a home on the internet doesn't mean it will result in a sale - especially if … (26 comments)

Mud Season: A Steamboat Springs, Colorado Lifestyle Video
In Steamboat Springs, Colorado, we have 5 seasons. The fifth season being mud season. Now mud season occurs twice a year. Once when the ski area closes and extends into spring.

The second time is in late September and into October. This is when the rain comes and before it turns to snow.

video: It's Cccccold in Steamboat Springs - A Video on Buying Real Estate
- 02/06/13 02:54 AM
It gets cold in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. But we're in the Rocky Mountains and we have a great ski area right in town. So people don't complain much about the cold. Except when they get their heating bills during those cold months. As a Realtor in Steamboat Springs, I like to educate buyers on what to look for when investing in a home in a cold environment like Steamboat Springs.
How a home is heated in Steamboat Springs is very important. It can make a huge difference in the monthly cost depending on the heating source, construction type, and insulation. So … (6 comments)

video: Here's 3 Reasons Why Now IS the Time to Buy (not bla bla bla)
- 12/08/12 06:37 AM
I know, you're all tired of Realtor's saying "now's the time to buy." Well, this time, it is a good time to buy real estate. Take a look at this graph of 110 years of home prices. Or take a look at Case-Shiller, these are real numbers. What about absorption rate going from 18 months to 4 months of inventory in a year and a half. Yes, now is the time.

video: Seller Nets $10,000 More Because of a Real Estate Video
- 08/15/12 08:18 AM
Seller Nets $10,000 More Because of a Real Estate Video. Using video in real estate works. This Steamboat home closed recently for $585,000. The asking price was $590,000 and below are the details - true story.
Now I can't definitively say my clients made more money because of a real estate video of their home, but I can make a good argument it helped get the sales price higher.
I'm a Realtor in Steamboat Springs. When I list properties, I'm a firm believer in having all the marketing completed before the home is listed in the MLS. This way when potential buyers … (12 comments)

Raspberries and Real Estate: A Steamboat Springs Market Report
As you’ll remember from my May 2012 Market Report, I reported some encouraging numbers in the local Steamboat real estate market. Well, the June 2012 numbers have arrived and provide even further confirmation of definite improvement in the health of the Routt County real estate market. Real estate volume for June is up 64% from one year ago. Real estate is selling in Steamboat and it’s not just the bank owned. Now we’re starting to see inventories in some area shrinking and thus prices are on the rise.

- 06/15/12 07:28 AM
A different approach. This home had been on the market for sometime. The sellers contacted me to market this home in a new light. Well, how does the light at 6AM look? We also spiffed up the home near Stagecoach with fresh colorful paint and moved some art around. It's a wonderful home on 35 acres. Very private and serene. See more picture of 33050 Ponderosa Trail in Stagecoach here.

Weekly Real Estate Video Blog 2 from Steamboat Springs As a Realtor, we get this question all the time: "so, what's the real estate market like?" And depending on how much time you have that answer could be 30 seconds to 30 minutes.

video: What does Video and a Sawzall have in Common?
- 12/19/11 08:40 AM
Last week, my MLS activated the "video" field within the Steamboat Springs Multiple Listing Service. This enable agents to hotlink a video within the MLS to be populated all over the world. This is huge. It was just a few months ago the Steamboat Springs MLS only allowed 8 pictures. Now we can load 20 pictures into our listings. More pictures and video equals more exposure. And that we know will help sell a property faster and for more money. This change is good.
So what does video and a Sawzall have in common? Well, in real estate it just might … (14 comments)

Charles Eames and Charlie Dresen. Okay, I know, a big difference. But wait. Am I a realtor, a filmmaker, a photographer, or a real estate agent that’s always pushing the envelope? Either way, I’m an agent that’s always looking for ways to get my listings noticed and sold. You can't just list a home and wait for a buyer. With over 90% of buyers looking online at properties, it’s my job to catch the eyes of the buyers while they browse. Studies have shown that using professional photographs and high quality video will net a seller more money and sell in … (9 comments)

video: Video is like Soft Peanut Butter - It's so Easy to Spread
- 12/07/11 01:39 AM
Why online video is Key for Small Business. I'm NOT preaching to the choir because it's the minority of real estate agents that use video for selling real estate. But you cannot ignore it any longer.
With Youtube becoming the second most-used search engine to Google, you must jump on the video bandwagon. All your objections of the past have easy solutions.
David Garland write for Small Business Trends:
"1. Cost Of Production: Your video budget no longer has to have a lot of zeros especially with the rise of high quality pocket cameras including Flip Cameras, Kodak zi8, iPhones and the webcam on your computer.

video: When to let go . . . of that multi-million dollar listing
- 11/25/11 08:11 AM
I spoke with a colleague in another state the other day. This agent was involved in one of the best real estate videos I have ever seen. In fact, it was such an inspiration that I took my own video making to the next level. Back to the point – this was a great marketing video for this multi-million dollar home. From what I could tell this agent did everything he could to sell this home. But after 2 years and only 1 showing, he no long is the listing agent.
Now he’s fine with this. I’ll assume the amount of … (9 comments)

video: First Real Snow in Steamboat Springs, Colorado *Video*
- 11/13/11 06:46 AM
Living in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, there's something that takes place about this time each year. I call it the "ower transition." It's the day one puts away the lawn mower and pulls out the snow blower. Where most folks garden 12 months of the year, living in Ski Town USA we put away all gardening tools for 5 months.
But I love living in Steamboats and my kid and dog don't mind the snow either. It seems things just get simpler this time of year. And the ski resort opens soon so plan your trip today.

video: Halloween - Steamboat Springs, Colorado Style *Video*
- 10/25/11 10:20 AM
As a kid, I could not wait to run from house to house as fast as I could and fill my Halloween bag as fast as possible. It's a right of passage as a kid. Today, as a father of an 8 year old, I might have seconds thoughts about my kid running the neighborhoods trick-or-treating. But I don't have to make that choice.
I live in the small mountain community of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It's a town of around 11,000 people and neighborhoods are rather spread out. So Halloween would be an endless run just to get 10 pieces of … (1 comments)
