Next week I am hanging up my Real Estate License because all I have been reading about lately is how being a Realtor is a dying profession and I am going into the restaurant business.  The buzz lately on the news and blogs is how so many Realtors are changing jobs because business is bad and the public does not value our services. I don't know why Real Estate Agents are quitting since it's so easy being a Realtor.  We show three houses to our Buyers and after they see three houses they decide to buy one of them and then the Real Estate Agent and the Buyers execute a Contract on the hood of the Agent's car and the offer is accepted immediately and then the Buyers move into the house.  It's true, I see this play out every night on TV and it's so easy being a Real Estate Agent. And then th... 09/16/2010

Colorado Fires Nearly Contained The Fourmile Canyon fire in Boulder is nearly 90% contained. Officials are now investigating the possibility that the fire may have started in a resident’s fire pit that was not fully extinguished. Meanwhile, a few miles north the Loveland fire also seems to be under control after burning 900 acres. The fire started on Sunday morning. Fortunately, the crews and resources from the Boulder fire were quickly able to get the upper hand on that one. Although the fires are mostly under control heavy aircraft are still flying overhead throughout the day. Hopefully, life will get back to normal sometime soon.      Boulder Green Built Homes For Sale Contact Me Today For More Information Or Call Me @ 720-771-5594 Search More Denver and Boulder County Homes For Sale... 09/13/2010

Boulder Colorado Saturday Sunshine It is a beautiful sun shiny day here in Boulder Colorado. When I stepped outside early this morning I could not see or smell any smoke from the forest fire. It is the first time since the fire started that it has been so clear. Because of the smoke I hadn’t bicycled since before the fire. Since the air was clear today I decided to go out for a spin. I bicycled 35 miles along the Front Range but I did not go up into the mountains. Officials now report they are starting to get the upper hand on the fire. Today I only saw a couple of helicopters flying and no air tankers. I am hoping this means the fire will be completely extinguished within a few days. Yesterday’s news stated that there were 800 firefighters from 20 states across the country fighting the... 09/11/2010

Boulder Sunrise—We’re Still Here  9-8-10 Here are some sunrise photos from Boulder this morning. I was up on the side of the mountain around 6am. The smell of smoke from the forest fire was extra strong this morning but it wasn’t until I got up on the mountain that I could see how thick the blanket of smoke really was. The ‘inversion layer’ caused the smoke to drop close to the ground in the cool night air. As the sun came up the smoke started to rise and it became even more difficult to breathe.      Boulder Green Built Homes For Sale Contact Me Today For More Information Or Call Me @ 720-771-5594 Search More Denver and Boulder County Homes For Sale   If you or someone you know is interested in buying or selling a home in Boulder County or anywhere in Denver Metro please call me.

Boulder Colorado Homes with Solar Should you install Solar Photovoltaic Panels (PV) on your roof? This question applies to many people everywhere. However, I have taken a look at specifically how this question pertains to us in Boulder Colorado. There are two key questions that should be asked. First you have to determine if you are building a new home or planning on upgrading your existing home. Second you must know your main motivating driver. Oftentimes when ones goes through the analysis of whether to make the upgrade or not it helps to have a main driving factor of reducing your carbon footprint. In Boulder Colorado we are nearly required to have solar PV panels installed with any new construction or remodel that exceeds 500 square feet. This requirement is the result of new regul... 09/08/2010

This is a good question to think about the next time you are buying a house.  What are you really buying when you buy a house?  You are buying the house itself, the foundation, the walls, the bedrooms and bathrooms, the kitchen, backyard, garage, etc.  But, I feel the biggest "thing" you are buying when buying a house is the city, neighborhood, community, and the public schools where the house is located.  Whenever I meet with Buyers we always have our first discussion where I learn what is important to them in their new home.  If the Buyers say the most important feature to them is having a big kitchen with granite counter-tops because they love to cook then I need to have a "talk" with them.  I feel it's my responsibility as a Buyer's Agent to educate my Buyers on the issues of buying... 09/07/2010

Boulder Fourmile Canyon Fire Update This afternoon I watched as the sky grew orange and the sun was masked by the dense smoke from the wildfire. Around 4:30 I drove to Settler's Park and was turned away. I then drove to Lost Gultch above Flagstaff where over 100 people had gathered. It was a horrific scene. I have never seen anything quite like it. With my binoculars I witnessed 8-10 structures go up in flames. Eventually, the tankers flew in and began dropping fire retardant, but it hardly seemed to make a difference--the fire continued to grow for the 3 hours I was there on the rocks. Everyone there seemed captivated in disbelief at what we were witnessing. There are three homes burning in the 6th picture below. There is a sobering feeling in Boulder this evening with ash still fallin... 09/06/2010
