Georgia O’Keeffe: the Beautiful and the DAM
There’s nothing like a room full of O’Keeffe to make me want to take a road trip and the “Georgia O’Keeffe in New Mexico: Architecture, Katsinam and the Land” exhibit at the Denver Art Museum is no exception. Horizontal landscapes of rugged terrain, softened under pastel lights and sharpened on the shadow stimulate my need [...]
Denver Real Estate Trends 4th Quarter, 2012
I’d like to get all geeky on ya but I’ve brought the visual aids. Click below for the famous Your Castle Real Estate map of Central Denver to compare single family residential property values with the 4th quarter of 2011. You’ll see the percent of appreciation or decline, the days on market (DOM) and months [...]
Buying a Home in the Winter? You bet your ice skates!
After you’ve finished your holiday shopping, why don’t we go look for a house? The Denver winter has been mild so far and weather is still great for house hunting, but even in the snowy months I love me those cold weather clients! Most people think of buying or selling their homes in the ‘high’ [...]
The Buyer/Seller Love Connection
I am (where real estate is involved) lucky in love. I’m not talking about the beach house I got in the last divorce *winks* but how often I find Cupid at the closing table. It takes work to find a house with everything on your buyers’ wish list, but it’s nothing short of kismet when [...]

Today’s Denver Business Journal announced the data to back up my experience. Colorado’s housing market stands [...]

We don’t waste time with the corporate clap-fest and weekly prize winners, our sales meetings are chock full of market data, which lays out [...]
Singin’ and Dancin’ in the Rain…
It was a watershed moment at Saturday night’s Riverfront Park Fashion show as the skies opened up for an evening shower. Thankfully, the downpour took place between designers, but left the fashionistas running for cover in cabanas, under umbrellas and in cupcake stands. With hair drenched and clothes so wet they were see-through, guests cheerfully [...]
TEENS AND THE CITY
Planning a trip to New York is always exciting, but planning a ten day trip with two teenage boys is a handsome cab horse of a different color. How could they see New York’s New York, my New York and find those “I Heart NY” moments for themselves? I knew I had to keep it [...]
Before I Die… A Community in Communion
Before I die, I want to… Driving the streets north of Downtown Denver one might turn some dodgy corners. The gentrification of Curtis Park, Ballpark and Five Points neighborhoods has pushed up real estate prices as artist lofts and galleries, restaurants and the urban infill townhomes that follow, found their place beside the old Victorians.
