If I had to answer the question truthfully, I would say my Summer was definitely a MISS!  Oh, I had a great time hanging out with the my husband and kids, spending a wonderful time at the beach with family and friends, and just enjoying a very lazy Summer.  Was that productive for my real estate ...

  OK, so all the indicators are pointing to the real estate market heading in a positive direction.  Lots of Open Houses,  email blasts from other Realtors marketing their new listings and the expected increase in real estate advertisements in the local paper.  So what’s the problem?  You don’t c...

but not everyone can sell.  I've been thinking about this for a while as I put together my "game plan" for 2013.  It takes so much more than simply listing a property in the local MLS, planting a yard sign out front and submitting the property to various other websites.  Heck...anyone can do that...

It's OPEN HOUSE day...again and traffic is slow...again! Oh, I have used all the usual lures: drawing for a gift certificate to somewhere, bottles of wine, movie tickets, and todays' option: Jimmy JOhn's gourmet subs, deli dill pickles, southern ice tea, and some shortbread cookies I found on sal...

I was pleasantly surprised at the article that appeared in our local Summit Daily newspaper this afternoon.  Most locals, and even those that aren't, can attest to the healthy lifestyle that permeates most of Summit County. But what Colorado residents may not have known is that Summit County is r...

My eleven year old 5th grader informed me that he needed thirty cupcakes and 30 brownies to take to school to sell at "market" the following morning.  Did I mention that it was already 7pm, and I was already anticipating getting to bed by 9pm. (this story may strike a cord with other parents out ...
