Thoughts of a warm-hearted but opinionated long-time Realtor who sells residential property in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas and cities. I sell resale homes, new builds, and investment property. I have a heart for military relocation, specialize in helping out-of-state owners sell their Colorado Springs rental property, and have a passion for Victorian and Vintage homes.

Because of our busy schedules, my eldest daughter and I don't get a lot of relaxed time together. A local property manager, her life consists in dealing with a totally different kind of crazy clientele than I do as a realtor. Our luncheon yesterday had been on the books for over a week, making su...

In all of my years in real estate, this is the first time I've heard of this scenario. One of my newer agents contacted me, upset about a home she sold last week. We have a unique area in town called Manitou Springs ~ governed by the regulations of Colorado Springs Regional Building but with thei...

Writing is a passion for me, but as a novelist, my blogging seems to have taken a back seat. A friend and I have been meeting to discuss how we're going to get back to blogging and doing videos regularly. I have lots of old posts with lists for blogging ideas, so I filtered and combined them to c...

Several months ago I got a call from an out-of-State Seller. She'd found me online, done a lot of research, and I was the one she wanted. We spent hours on the phone, her house had been way over-priced for many months with another agent, and she was adamant that I was the person she wanted to lis...

As I filled out the Questionnaire on Craig Daniel's post today (if you haven't filled it out yet, be sure to do so!), it got me to thinking about some of my favorite apps. As a Realtor and an Author, I spend a LOT of time in my chair. We're either running all day, or sitting at our desks not movi...

From my real estate infancy, I have known and understood and taught and fought that we were not allowed to tell the Buyer's agent, or anyone else for that matter, what the amount of another offer(s) was that the Seller had received. I always believed it was because, if that deal fell through and ...

There is a notion in real estate called Black Cord Fever. Simply put, it is a lack of desire to follow up with prospective clients for fear of rejection (from those olden days when phones had black cords). I understand that can be a valid issue for some, but it's not my particular problem. My pro...

If you have any association with real estate in Colorado, you know the name Oliver Frascona. One of the most intelligent, humorous, and beloved lawyers and teachers died tragically today in a small plane crash at the age of 67. Also killed were his girlfriend, Tori Wedan, 41, and her three childr...

We are all a part of Social Media or we wouldn't be here. Inherent with getting our name out there is that we're going to receive spam in large doses (my email filter picks up 300 - 500 spam messages daily). I'm used to it, I don't waste much time on it - zap, you're gone. But there was something...

When business slowed down a few years ago, someone turned me on to this great little site called ActiveRain. It was a little expensive ($49 per month, I think) to be paying for something I knew nothing about (blogging). After my first six months of sitting on the sidelines, someone encouraged me ...
