Jennifer Allan's Charming Old Denver Blog

My new website is up and running and while it's far from perfect (or complete), I'm pleased enough with it to GO LIVE. It doesn't have a home search feature yet - I'm still investigating my options and several pages are Under Construction... but... here it is! www.CharmingOldDenver.com.I also did...

Just spent my morning looking at homes in Northwest Denver/Highlands. Partly for clients; partly for my own keeping-up-with-the-market commitment. As regular readers of my blog know, I've been away from town for two years, so it's really important to me to get back up to speed on the market in my...

A few weeks ago, I posted a blog called "Chicken Paws."  It was about how I'd found chicken feet at the local Super Wal-Mart and thought my dogs might enjoy them. I'd been considering putting the pups on a BARF diet (Bones & Raw Food) for many reasons, not the least of which was to reduce the poo...

Last May I found seven little puppies on the side of the road in Dale County, Alabama. Brought ‘em all home, cleaned ‘em up, fell in love. But unfortunately, with three dogs already in residence, keeping all seven was a bit impractical.Here's a picture of the puppies from the night we found them....

(This blog is written in the present tense, but it actually happened a few weeks ago. I decided against posting it until the situation was resolved to avoid any unnecessary angst while the movers still had my stuff!)January 24, 2008I've got the moving blues. It's not as if I expected moving acros...

One of the many ways I kill time online is to look up the addresses of my former homes in Denver to see if they've changed hands again.  It's always fun to look at the interior photos to see what the new owners did to the place.Whoa! I believe that every single house I've lived in here in Denver ...

I've been selling real estate in Denver since 1996. Gone thru crazy boom markets and, of course, those not-so-fun, not-so-booming markets. But thru the years, one thing has remained true in this Charming Old Denver real estate market.Spring is the best time sell. Period. Naturally, some springs a...

Been gone from Denver a few years - two years and 6 weeks to be exact. Got back to town a week ago today. Love it, Love it.So, to celebrate my first week back home, here's a little tribute to Denver...Denver Is.......FriendlyI've yet to leave the house for any sort of errand and not had a pleasan...

For Dog Lovers Only....I"m considering putting my dogs on a BARF diet (BARF = Bones and Raw Food). For many reasons, but the practical one is that we just moved from a home on four acres to a home on 4620 sqft and, well, dog poop is accumulating very quickly! I've heard that on a BARF diet, there...

As you may know, I'm currently in the process of moving from Alabama to Denver, literally. I loaded up the pups in the Subaru on Wednesday, drove to Paducah, KY, then onto Columbia, MO (where my family is), then to KC, MO (where more family is) and last night I stayed in Hays Kansas... just four ...
