Charming Old Denver

The article below was contributed by Geri Bigum of Staging Denver. Staging Denver is ONLY the very best homestaging company in Denver, and, in my opinion, anywhere in the world.

While I'm not involved in the company any more, I enthusiastically recommend their servi ...

Many real estate agents market themselves as "listing specialists" - that is - they focus mainly on marketing houses for sale instead of working with buyers. Many "listing specialists" hire buyer agents to work for them, to handle the calls they receive from their many For Sale signs.

I grew up in a Hutchinson.

Many of you who grew up in Denver are nodding. For the rest of you, I'll explain.

In real estate-speak, "days on market," (abbreviated DOM) means how many days it takes from the day a house goes on the market until the day it goes "under contract" (that is, when a buyer and seller agree on a purchase contract). Of course, after a home goes under contract, there are still a few ...

Back in 1997, one of my first seller clients asked me the question: "Jennifer, I assume our house will sell quickly because it's so cute (it was), but if it doesn't sell right away, what will you do?"

Hmmmmmmmm. Hell, I dunno. I was a green bean agent; I'd only had one other listing in my career and didn't have a clue. I came up with something that probably sounded like this: "I'll do a brok ...

Here's a link to an article that (rumor has it) will be featured in next month's REALTOR Magazine.

I think it came out very well!

(Okay, I'll stop patting myself on the back now and get back to selling houses.)

Are you self-employed and considering Blogging for Business?

New bloggers often worry about many things... what voice to use, what topics to write about, how often to post, which keywords to sprinkle. But y'know what? The beauty of successful blogging is that it's an o ...

I'm addicted to my Outlook Express. Been using it for, oh, probably ten years now. It was a real surprise to me to discover that other people DON'T use good old OE! To me Email = Outlook Express.

Well, about a month ago, I started having problems sending messages. If you were communicating with me during that time, you might remember getting ten identical emails from me at a time, one right ...
