WHY I SUPPORT THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT

By Tracy Shaffer on October 25, 2011 in Cultural Events, Denver, Huffington Post, Investing, Lifestyle, mortgages, People, Personal power, Real Estate, stock market, Thriving Artist Alliance

It is not because I was raised in California in the 60s, vote Democratic, eat granola or need a job. (I don’t. I have two, thank you) It’s not because I’ve made or lost a fortune in the stock market, am I anti-American, anti-corporation or want to bring capitalism to its bloody knees. I do [...]

You Can’t Make Me!

By Tracy Shaffer on August 31, 2011 in Buy a Home, Denver, Denver Real Estate News, First Time Buyer, Homes for sale, Investing, Lifestyle, Lodo, mortgages, People, Personal power, Real Estate, Realtor, Sell my house

You can’t make anybody do anything they don’t want to do. If you’ve ever had a toddler or a teen, a sibling, a parent or friend, if you’ve been married or had the crazy ex crashing ‘temporarily’ in the basement you know this is true. Some things you just have to want to do, like [...]

Denver Real Estate Market Up… a bit.

By Tracy Shaffer on August 9, 2011 in Buy a Home, Denver, Denver Real Estate News, First Time Buyer, For Sale By Owner, Homes for sale, Investing, Lodo, mortgages, Real Estate, Realtor, Sell my house, Thriving Artist Alliance, Tracy Shaffer

If you’ve been reading my blog, you know I don’t place much store in Zillow, but this article in the Denver Business Journal shows the exception. When Zillow creates the quarterly reports they’re pulling the broader market home sale stats which is far more reliable than when they’re pricing your home. Though I find the [...]

By Tracy Shaffer on August 8, 2011 in Buy a Home, Denver Real Estate News, First Time Buyer, For Sale By Owner, Homes for sale, Investing, Lifestyle, mortgages, People, Personal power, Real Estate, Realtor, Sell my house, Thriving Artist Alliance, Tracy Shaffer

Recently I got a call from a gal I’d worked with on One Book, One Denver. “I’m getting married, relocating, and I need to sell my condo. Can you come meet me?” Of course. We met for a post-work beverage and talked about her marriage plans, the condo and then she popped the question, “Can [...]

By Tracy Shaffer on August 1, 2011 in Buy a Home, Denver, Denver Real Estate News, Homes for sale, Investing, Lifestyle, mortgages, Personal power, Real Estate, Realtor, Sell my house, Thriving Artist Alliance

America and the world have waited on pins & needles for our democratic process to make a decision.  I’m not sure how much I’ve slept over the past week, but I know Anderson Cooper is now firmly lodged in my dream center.  This morning, as I drove to my appointment, I wondered what I might [...]

Rent or Own? What’s your opinion?

By Tracy Shaffer on July 20, 2011 in Buy a Home, Denver, First Time Buyer, Homes for sale, Investing, Lifestyle, mortgages, Real Estate

This summer the real estate market feels like it’s at a stand-still. Stifled by negotiations over the debt ceiling, worries about the economy, unemployment, and all the pre-election spin, the market ain’t so hot this July. And yet, I have clients who are making the market work for them. As sellers move from the hopes [...]

Keep Calm, Carry On

By Tracy Shaffer on May 28, 2011 in Buy a Home, Denver, Homes for sale, Lifestyle, mortgages, Personal power, Real Estate, Realtor, Sell my house

The most important thing one can do in negotiations is to keep the conversation going. Simple in theory, but when emotions get involved it gets much more complicated. Take yesterday for example; buyer comes to seller with an incredibly low offer. Seller is already well priced, below average price per square foot for the area, [...]

Buyer’s Market? May be, but you still have to play fair.

By Tracy Shaffer on May 27, 2011 in Buy a Home, Denver, Denver Real Estate News, Homes for sale, Investing, Lifestyle, mortgages, Musings on Life, Real Estate, Realtor, Sell my house

That in itself would not be unusual in the Denver real estate market, but it’s what came with the offer I found odd and amusing. This morning, two emails hit my inbox. One was the offer, $110k below the list price, and [...]
