Conspicuous Cleaning
You survived round 1! You made it through Thanksgiving and you are still alive and kicking! Perhaps at this point you are simply thankful that all of your relatives have finally gone home. This year it was just my girlfriend, her mom and I for a yummy turkey dinner. It was great, simple and we were on the couch by 7PM. For Christmas this year, we will have an additional 5 guests in the house: Mom, dad, Tyler (brother), Mel (his wife) and Lily (lovable greyhound). We are excited for them to be here and I haven't seen Lily since July! (Oh, and it will be good to visit with the humans as well!)
One thing that we all do, regardless of our guests imploring us not to "make a fuss" is clean the house before they get here. As I was reviewing my task list of cleaning it occurred to me that there are hot spots throug...

Satiating Snappy Sellers
I need more coffee, so I could only come up with the word "snappy" for my title this morning. The gist of our topic today is encouraging impatient sellers whose home is still lingering on the market. Coming from someone who sold his home in early March, I can tell you it is not easy sitting on one's hands waiting for that "right" buyers to come along. Today I want to explore a few strategies that might actually help you move that thing before the flowers start to bloom again.
Any of you who have been reading along over the past few years, as well as those of you who have some experience (or a well-educated friend) in real estate, are going to be very familiar with the first tip. It is as simple as doing your homework and knowing your market. A friend of mine is an agent in the Denver area and he...

Hooky Helper
I'm playing hooky today! I'm writing this on Wednesday and with all the snow we've been getting, enough is enough. It is time to get out and play. I'm fortunate to work for myself so I don't have to come up with an excuse (or a sick voice) and "call in". Because of the beautiful snow and a fairly light workload right now, there is no better time to do it.
I have owned my own business for 6 years now. During the first few years I called on my mentor and close friend, Sean, for help, insight, advice and a shoulder to scream on. One of the best pieces of advice he ever gave me was when the workload is light, get out and hike. At least get out and do something you enjoy because the phone will start ringing again and the emails will start coming in. Enjoy the time when you can (or when you need it!).
