Rocky Mountain Realty Company, Colorado Springs

Ok, so last night I'm watching the evening news and the Anchor is on location in the west side of Colorado Springs. People are Halloween decorating more and more these days and there are so many choices of props and do-dads that they decided to feature some "excessively decorated" homes on the ev...

Here in the Colorado Springs real estate market, we see a lot of excess inventory in the new build market. Even in the best of times, there are many builders and models to choose from and you can go ground up or take a convenient spec if new is your thing...HOWEVER:                               ...

 Upside-down on your flip right now? This is what I'm telling my clients to do...It's a crazy, unpredictable cycle we're in. I saw it coming, so I slowed my flippers into "buy and hold" mode several months back, but some of them are caught in this nasty downturn "mid-flip", so what CAN we do? Wha...

Another post inspired me to think that it would be wonderful if we real estate professionals could get paid like attorneys! What if WE charged an up front fee like lawyers do and if we sell the house, well we do and if we don't well then we'll let them know if they owe us anything later? Or if we...

I got a phenomenal response that drew many investors to work with me and helped me to find my niche. The ad did it's job. IT MADE THE PHONE RING:CHEAP HOUSES AVAILABLE IN ALL AREAS: CALL ...

In the very recent "old days", if you were a "low ball" investor, you had to find a real estate professional who was desperate enough to do all of these things: 1.) Spend their valuable time doing market research for likely low ball candidates2.) Spend more time writing offers that would 99 out o...

We all know that the market is not what it was last year and not exactly as it has been at any time I can remember. It's got a mixture of some of our past market elements and some new components to the confusion, such as the effects of the sub prime market and the recent long string of low rate m...
