How Agent John Doe Ruined the Neighborhood. I will make several qualifications throughout this post.  It occurred to me last night while browsing the MLS that each time I saw Realtor "x" name appear on a listing that the value of another neighborhood was about to drop. Yes, we all know of these agents, the one that get those bank owned listings. They alway bring the listing into the MLS to sell so they are priced low. And if it does not sell soon, the price drops, and drops. And now every home in that area suffers. But I get that. It has to happen. Nothing against this Realtor, they are just doing their job. But gosh it's just unsettling.  Unfortunately, this Realtor has been very busy. They are solidly it the top 10% of production within the MLS. They are juggling many homes and doing ... 06/21/2011

Cool Homes - Architectural Freedom in real estate. Brady Bunch and beyond. It's not that often that a particular home catches my eye. Yet every once and a while I tour a home something really stands out. Maybe it's just the look of the home. Or maybe the architectural style has pushed the boundaries a bit. Or something about the home just resinates as being different. Either way, I love discovering these cool homes and making note of them. And I must say, they are catching on and being much more accepted and sought after. Here's some pictures of a Steamboat Springs home in Old Town / downtown. [ When I see interesting styles, I always wonder how it came to be and who was behind it and what it was that inspired them. In Steamboat, the style of home is very mountain-like and thrown into t... 06/16/2011

  Never hire a friend as a real estate agent just because they are your friend. A recent blog from Chris Alston "If you don't ask, the answer will always be no" reminded me of this saying I have.      Selecting a realtor can be tough.   How do you decide? Well, buying and selling real estate is one of the largest things you will do financially.  So take your time and hire the right person.  Selling and buying real estate is a big deal and one should always take it seriously. Never hire a friend, family member, acquaintance, or recommended agent based solely on your relationship. It’s a lot of money. Hire an agent based on their professionalism, their expertise,  their personality, and what services they will provide you. If it turns out to be  your friend, mother, neighbor or recommenda... 06/10/2011

Barfing less in Steamboat Springs, Colorado over the highs and lows in the real estate market.    Up until 6 months ago, the Steamboat Springs Real estate market, and speaking in general terms, watching and predicting the real estate market has been like riding an intense roller coaster and making everyone sick.   We’ve all seen news reports of rising and lowering unemployment, of massive foreclosures and declining foreclosure, of rebounding markets then a double drip in home prices. It’s been month after month of highs and lows and ups and downs enough to make people sick.   But over the last 6 months, I feel the Steamboat Colorado Real Estate market has been reduced to a more children’s roller coaster than one that makes people sick.  And this is good. Nobody likes to get sick.  Here ... 06/04/2011
