Real Estate agents are people too! We have families, make dinner, have to walk the dogs and bury our loved ones. When a client calls making requests or making demands I try my best to accommodate them. This weekend somebody I cared for passed away. I came upon the crash and it took me a minute to see that I knew people in the car. When I explained to a calling client I was busy, somebody passed he said: "I'm sorry but..." He wanted me to accommodate him and his needs without considering I had immediate needs even after I told him it was a bad time. Our agreement has ended. And if I have reason to speak to him again I will but it's going to be difficult to do with a smile on my face. Rest in Peace "Pops"  08/06/2018

This is my real estate page. I talk about real estate here. And real estate is so much more than helping people buy or sell properties. Did you know that the Real Estate Commission is set up to protect the public? Did you know that the association of Realtors and the MLS are 2 different boards?   I am on the local MLS board. I go to a meeting at least once a month, sometimes there are multiple meetings a month. Today's meeting was just over 3 hours. I volunteer to do this - I don't get paid for getting up early and sitting in what may be a long boring meeting. There are no donuts there, no coffee. A dozen or so agents, appraisers and association staff gather to make sure we are self-regulating and doing the right thing for our community.   If you are working with or hiring a real estat... 08/02/2018

I've been blogging on Active Rain since 2006 and it has never, ever occured to me to answer the question I get asked often."How you you pronounce the name Canon City?" The name of the Fremont County seat and largest city is Canon City. Pronounce it "Canyon"  Population between 16,000 - 17,000. There is some debate why the name is spelled the way it is. Is Can~on City written with a Spanish influence or was it a misspelling? Since nobody was there video taping the history of the town we will probably never really know. So the answer is subject to whom you ask. Locals, natives and those of us that are simi-native simply say "Canon" and delete the "City" part of the name. Fremont County also has a "Florence" a small town of almost 4000 people. Approx 8 miles from Canon City. Known as "The ... 01/30/2018

American author Zane Grey wrote epic Western Novels. Avid readers still read his works today. He brought the “real West” to life. And I get regular phone calls from his readers. His fans want to live in the real West. The horses, the sunsets, the drama, the self reliance, the integrity and the joy.Fremont County lives by The Code of the West inspired by Zane Grey. http://www.fremontco.com/dot/codeofthewest.shtml It’s funny to me how many potential buyers contact me and tell me this is the life they want then go into great detail about what else they expect. They want to grow vegetables, raise Jersey cows, expect high speed internet and clear mobile service. I’m not really going to dissolve their dreams but I’m going to give them a dose of reality from my point of view. Remember the TV c... 08/15/2017

Grandmas Antique Tchotchkes We’ve all heard the stories about how the millennials don’t want our stuff anymore. They don’t want the responsibility, to pay insurance on it, to store it or anything else.  Friends, Neighbors and Clients have all told me their stories about how their kids don’t want the silver tea set, aunties china set or grandma’s tchotchkes (trinkets). This includes me. My niece and nephew really aren’t interested in the family furniture from the 1880’s. Nor the picture of the family members that originally used that furniture. My front room has 4 boxes of Christmas Village pieces, a box of porcelain figurines and other stuff. Friends have given me these things because their family didn’t want them and they want them to go to somebody who will “appreciate them”.  You kno... 07/11/2017

Copied from my Face Book page.                                                                                 Listen :1) If you're buying property it is VITALLY important to use a local lender. (Where ever you're buying) It's not only that I have them on speed dial already, it's to protect you! Local lenders use local appraisers (very important) Local appraisers don't need to use a GPS to find the property. If they need a GPS how well do they know the market, the area and the things happening in the area?2) Local lenders have local processors, underwriters and maybe even a local board of directors. These people know the area too. They probably drive past the property you're trying to purchase. 3) If you chose a lender that is out of area or out of state I'd bet my Beanie (my dog) that ... 06/21/2017

The Hard Good Buy (Bye) I’ve been putting the ‘real’ into Realtor since 2004. And in that time I’ve had 2 buyers pass during the transaction. And I had an agent call me tonight that had one of her buyers pass today. It’s tough to take, both of mine shook me up. After all, nobody expects the person you’re working with to die.  The first time a man and his daughter signed all the documents to buy and were under contract. They left to go back to their home state to pack. He (dad) said he wanted to be in Colorado when he passed. Long story short he never made it back. His daughter completed the contract and moved to Colorado. She moved into the house and knew her father would be happy about it. He was there in spirit in both our minds.  The second man and his son were looking for vacant lan... 05/30/2017

With all the automated systems around today for real estate, many people are more interested in the act of signing their name on a contract than the contract itself. In Colorado many agents use the same system. At the bottom of each document the buyers and / or sellers can select font, save and accept. It’s amazing how fast that process happens sometimes.  All of my correspondence goes out with an email similar to this in the body to the email:  Attached are the needed documents to purchase the property you`ve decided to make an offer on. Please review, select font, save and accept your signature. If you have any questions feel free to contact me prior to signing. Please double check that your name and contact information are correct and that there are no other mistakes or errors. Many ... 05/21/2017

If you’re purchasing property in Colorado you need to pay attention to ALL the dates & deadlines in section 3 of the Contract to Buy and Sell CBS1-6-15. Everything on this contract is an intricate part of the process. SpecificallyI want to talk about Section 3.27 in regards to the Property Insurance Objection.  Most of my buyers say something like “oh, I’ll just call the insurance company I’m using now” That’s a great place to start, absolutely call your current company. But most agents I know will recommend calling a few companies. Why?  Not all insurance companies can insure the property you’re trying to purchase. It may be too far away from a fire department. The property may have a long history of claims. And these insurance companies may or may not be able to include your vehicles ... 05/18/2017

Inspired by Teri Isner : http://activerain.com/blogsview/5060164/understanding-home-inspection-repair-requests Teri Isner broke down the property inspection into great detail. She brought up some great points. Basically, what’s important to the buyer. And what’s unnecessary and might kill the deal.  In my opinion (and I’m not a property inspector or appraiser, nor play one on TV) The property inspection should be looked at in 3 ways.  What is an appraiser going to object to! Things that are health and safety issues really should be a priority. Broken or inoperable windows Torn or missing flooring Missing hand rails Peeling paint inside and outside Furnace issues Water heater issues Roofing issues And in some cases how the appliances work As well as other things. Each loan type and / or ... 05/17/2017

Sellers Double Check Your Listing Sellers are you reading the listing for your property? It doesn’t matter if it’s vacant land, residential or commercial property. If it’s on the multiple listing service (MLS) you want to make sure your property is presented in the best possible way. I’m not suggesting your write you own property description or take your own pictures. These are things you probably or should have asked about prior to signing your listing agreement with your agent.  Recently in my market I saw an MLS listing for an upper end house where the agent said there were no bathrooms. Now this is obviously an over site but somebody should have caught the mistake. Another HIGH end (7 figures) property had photos that were taken with the drapes closed and no flash on the camera. Hon... 05/17/2017
