Arapahoe High School - Littleton Public Schools - Tomorrow I will be attending my third graduation ceremony for Arapahoe High School. All three of my boys have gone through the Littleton Public Schools (LPS) system and I could not be happier with the results. Each and every one of them was on the honor roll, and I attribute that much more to the school system, than the parenting system. LPS is a very hidden gem among school districts in the state. Accolades are always given the the Cherry Creek Public Schools, and for good reason, however LPS is every bit as good and consistently ranks in the top 5% of Public school systems in the Country, the big difference is theat LPS is a much smaller school district than Cherry Creek. What I love about Arapahoe High School is how they really prepar...

South Metro Denver Housing Report! Sorry, nothing to report here, all of the homes have been sold, too late, you missed out. Better luck next year. Well, at least that's what it seems like in this market. With a 28 year low in inventory and nearly 2/3 of every home listed is under contract within a few short weeks. The neighborhood I live in is called The Knolls, I have lived here for the past 13 years and lived in the neighborhood next door to The Knolls for the 9 years preceding that, so for the past 22 years I have kept my eye on the neighborhood stats. Year in and year out between 14-18 homes wiil sell in The Knolls, and there are always at least 4-5 homes on the market. Never have a seen The Knolls without at least one home for sale, UNTIL NOW! I have a couple buyers looking to mov...

Testimonials, today as I was hunkering down in my office due to another April snowstorm I came across some testimonials and they seemed like good fodder for a post - so here are a few of my favorites - PS there was a time when I was known as John J. since there were a couple John Marshalls that were active in the market. "Two Full Price offers in the first 2 Weeks!" "I originally had my home listed with another agent, I had it on the market for almost 10 months and had over 80 showings, not one offer! I finally decided to FIRE my agent and interview John J. What he said made a lot of sense, you have got to market to the RIGHT buyers, he also offers an "Easy Exit Guarantee" so I knew I could FIRE him if he did not perform. I listed with him and had three showings and two full price offer...

Springtime rituals in The Knolls, Centennial, CO, Spring time is perhaps my favorite seasons, although as I get older I really appreciate every season in its own right. Living in The Knolls for the past 13 years has given me a new appreciation not only for Springtime, but for living in a community of people that really care about their neighborhood. The Knolls has been one of south metro Denver's best kept secrets for over 40 years, the reasons include the numerous amenities, Swimming pool, with over 100 kids in the neighborhood participating on the Tsunami swim team, it creates a great community for the younger generation to make life-long friends. Tennis Courts are buzzing 300 plus days a year with neighbors participating in league play as well as weekend tournaments and other social ...

            Staying current on community events in the cities we manage has always been one of our priorities.  If you’re dealing with professional Centennial property management you’ve got to be in touch with what’s going on throughout the month.  There are some closures on the main city calendar to take note of, as well as a few meetings where attendance is encouraged.             There are a few closures to be observed coming in the second half of this month.  The first will be a closure of all offices in the Centennial Civic Center for Veterans Day on Monday November 12th.  The offices will also be closed the day of Thanksgiving and the following day, November 22 and 23rd respectively.  It should also be noted that the Liquor Licensing Authority meeting on November 15th from 6:00-9:...

What constitutes a Golf Community? Apparently this is not as clear as one would think, at least based on agents marketing. I regularly write about and research golf properties and I am amazed at the number of agents that promote a listing as being in a "golf community" just because they are within a couple miles of a golf course, if that were the case then almost every home in Denver is in a "golf community". That is simply not the case.There are 80 courses in the Denver Metro area, so chances are one is nearby. A golf community is a neighborhood that was built around a golf course. Most of the activities in the community revolve around the course, the club house and the amenities associated with those features. I believe that a "golf community" is a neighborhood that actually has a gol...
