Rocky Mountain Realty Company, Colorado Springs

Ok...I'm a VERY patient person overall. I have had many years experience in our market and most of the time, I work as a Buyers Agent. I prefer that over being a Seller's Agent because of what I'm experiencing right now. I have a Seller/Buyer who is motivated to sell. Her listing was left with me...

This is a light hearted post for sure. Nothing deep here, but my husband had this idea a while back that when we close a property transaction, we should give the principle a year's trash service. We could put stickers on the receptacles that have our logo on them and are covered with weatherproof...

Colorado Springs is a relatively small city, so we tend to get media-ized quickly in these parts. I am receiving numerous phone calls and e-mails from people in my church, social clubs, and client base who want to break into the investment market here. The problem is that they have, (unfortunatel...

So what happens with all of those "sub prime" buyers? They can't buy now if they have glitches and dings on their credit.

It's not so much MY clients, but the agents who work for me.I just wrote another post about the feedb...

Just a short note to the skeptics...blogging WORKS! I don't know why I don't do it more often because I KNOW it works. I am closing my THIRD Active Rain deal in 9 months due to the fun practice of blogging.My first one was when my husband signed me up on here to enhance my web presence, but I did...

When I started selling over a decade ago, I would tell all of my lucky first time Colorado Springs home buyers that they were about to realize the American Dream! Oh, it may mean that they'd have to eat a lot of mac and cheese and Ramen noodles for a while, but it would all be worth it in the end...

Monday is my busiest day of the week. Some people say theirs is Friday because of all the closings and end of the week stuff, but not me. The phone starts ringing sometimes before 7 am on Mondays and that seems to be the day I have to deal with all of the stuff that has backed up from the previou...

If you are moving to the Colorado Springs area any time soon, you should know that the deals I have been able to find for my clients lately have blown MY MIND. I've been a Realtor in our local market for over 12 years and now I am a Broker/Owner of a small company called Rocky Mountain Realty. Ov...
