BrokerIPTV : Today we are talking with Diane Czarkowski from Fourstar Realty. Diane thanks for being with us. Business in Boulder that is the area that you specialize in, what is happening up there versus what is happening in Denver?
Diane: I think Boulder is going pretty well. Boulder County has some parts that are a little bit sluggish, but overall I think it is doing pretty well.
BrokerIPTV : Now a lot of people think Boulder as a foreign land or foreign country and may be their buyers and sellers have similar preferences, any problems and tastes that we have down here?
Diane: Sure, to some degree I think, but I think Boulder is really looked at internationally as one of the fittest towns in the United States. 00:00:48 [Music] 00:00:53
Diane: I think a lot of people really have a lot of activities that they like to do outside, so it is really important for them to have a house that is close to trails or close to open space where they can go out and do the activities they like.
BrokerIPTV : Life style, yeah. Property Management that is the part of what Fourstar Realty does, I hear that business is doing well, am I right?
Diane: It is doing very well, yeah. We have six agents that work with property management and five are dedicated to student housing alone, we manage about 600 properties. 00:01:27 [Music] 00:01:31
BrokerIPTV : I am going to ask you about student housing next I mean with, CU Boulder out there, is that around the clock or around the calendar year type of business?
Diane: Actually, no. It has got definitely this is the off-season right now. Student housing really cycles around when campus is open. So, we are 100% leased right now and I think that we acquired 75 new listings just this year. It is goes along with the enrollment too and I know that the enrollment at CU has really been booming.
BrokerIPTV : Rentals, we know at least in Denver are in demand, are they in Boulder as well?
Diane: Yes, rentals are very much in demand and in particular there is a real big demand for furnished rentals as well in Boulder.
BrokerIPTV : All right, how about areas that are hot in Boulder and areas that are not?
Diane: Really don't think there is area that is not so hot, but there is definitely a lot of demand for homes that are in-town or the downtown area around Pearl Street and anything west cost closest to the mountains and again by the open space trails and stuff are very popular.
BrokerIPTV : So some of those properties in your Pearl Street still getting the premium?
Diane: Oh, definitely yes.
BrokerIPTV : Diane, thanks for being with us great talking with you, I appreciate it.
Diane: Me too, thanks.
