New to real estate? Make me an offer! - I meet with new agents all the time, as part of a growing and expanding firm it is inevitable that new agents will be part of this growth, and we welcome it. Most of the new agents are fresh out of passing the exam to get their license and even thought real estate contracts is included in the exam, nothing beats the real thing. For the most part they are sponges, willing to absorb whatever information they can get their hands on.     I tell each of them the same thing when they ask me what they could do right now, today, to get some business going. I say "Write me an offer" here is my address, do the research to tell me what my home is worth and why and then put together an offer. Usually I will have a handful of new agents and I allow them to wor...

Government Home Renovation Loan Program with FHA 203K Renovation Loans in Centennial Colorado. Many are not aware of a special government loan program that is actually a part of FHA (Federal Housing Administration- a department within HUD). Thanks to this special FHA loan program, a buyer or home owner can do meaningful amounts of remodeling or updates to their new or existing home without the higher cost of a second mortgage. You are not allowed to finance "Luxury items" such as a hot tub or swimming pool through this FHA loan program. Items such as remodeling cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, painting, adding wallpaper, replacing appliances and flooring, or even adding a room to an existing structure (which will increase the value of the homes square footage) are allowed.

As many of you know, Aspen Lane Real Estate, has been going through some big changes this year. After leaving my job of 5 years I came on board to help out with marketing and business development. I have been working diligently to keep our SEO up and … well, develop more business! So far, so good!   Recently my Mom, Belinda Spillman, and her business partner of 3 years, Will Hamm, parted ways. This was amicable and everyone is still friends, working at Aspen Lane. Business started to boom and it was the best choice for each to go their own way and put 100% of their efforts into growing for the company as a whole.   Since the parting my Mom has been working like a mad woman … with me as her “sidekick”. Currently juggling 15 deals that are under contract, 7 active listings, and even more ...
