GOOD NEWS again! November sales show that 41% of the sales were from existing buyers, jumping on the $6500 credit offered to the move-up buyers.
The Holidays are over (slmost completely), and buyers are again in the market for new homes! I had 149% increase in web site hits on Sunday 12/27/09! If you are thinking of selling, DO NOT wait until spring when everyone lists their homes. Competition will be less plentiful now, versus springtime! Make your home the best you can for presentation from the curb on thru the home --- buyers will love it!
If you are thinking of selling, give me a call. I will walk your home, give you suggestions (if you need them) on how to make it look completely ready for buyers.
New Year, New Company, new vitality!

Texting & Emailing in Denver
Well, we all knew these texting and emailing techniques were difficult at best to do while driving. I know personally it has become a bit scary and have made a conscious effort to NOT text or email while driving.
Effective today - 12/1/09, you will be ticketed if found doing this while driving! You can still make calls (if over 18), preferably with hands free, but still no requirements on that yet. Even if you are at a stop light, and found texting or emailing, you can be ticketed. No word as to what the fines may be. Just pull over and stop if you need to text or email before reaching your destination.
This should keep our Denver drivers safer!
