Beautiful Boulder County

Message to home sellers: Interview other Realtors. Lots of them.  One of the best things to hear when I do a listing presentation is that the seller is interviewing other Realtors for the job of listing their home.

  I had the pleasure of showing a townhome for sale in Iron Flats today. I love the vibrancy of downtown Boulder, and think that this is one of the cooler downtown living developments. Built in 2001 and designed by Oz Architecture, this community is just blocks from the Pearl Street Mall, and fea...

Louisville has some fun events planned for the weekend before Valentines' Day - get them on your calendar now!  Friday, February 11, there's a perfect excuse to take your Valentine out on the town a little early: Savor the Favor, an event where participating restaurants have agreed to donate 10% ...

I've shown a couple of homes in the Boulder area that have had geothermal energy systems, and, other than thinking, "man, that looks complicated," I haven't known WHAT to think about them. I finally got to learn a bit more about them at today's Mock Realty sales meeting, where Kevin Hatland of B...

A bold statement, yes, but one I firmly believe in.  Today, having a website for your listed home is just as necessary as having a flyer out front was 15 years ago. There really are no excuses ...

  With the weather we've been having, this little guy was confused and took a wrong turn on his way to Florida.  No doubt now that he's in Colorado . . .  

I recently had the unfortunate experience of having to learn where the nearest emergency room was. After nearly two years of living in my current home, I realized I had a vague idea of where it was, but since I (fortunately) have never had to visit, I couldn't be sure. Take it from me - you don'...

On a recent airing of the Today show, a viewer named Lauren from Boulder, CO, e-mailed a question to real estate guru Barbara Corcoran. Lauren asked, "We want to buy a home in Boulder, CO, and I've noticed many properties have been on the market over 60 days. How low of a bid is appropriate on $...
