Prepare To Buy A Home With A Denver Mortgage First

By Martin Team | Published: April 16, 2013

There are good Denver mortgage brokers. But, it’s not easy to find one I really trust. I have been working with Jimmy for many years. Read his advise carefully. He knows how to get you a mortgage loan in this tough, Seller’s Market. —Dennis Martin

Jimmy Kinley originates Denver mortgage loans with PHH Home Loans.

These are wild times in the Denver real estate market. Buyers ask me how do we stay prepared and on the front edge of this wave.   Buyers need to be prepared now, more than ever.  You can’t just go out and look at properties with the thought process of  “I am sure I am qualified for a mortgage loan”.

There are 2 problems with that thought process.  First , if you don’t have a rock solid pre-approval letter in hand, you will probably miss out on the best property.  Read More »

By Brian & Jamie Harris | Published: April 10, 2013
Many potential buyers are not finding properties available near Lo-Hi or downtown. Consider Tennyson Street as an alternative.

Many potential buyers are not finding properties available and affordable near Lower Highlands or downtown. Consider Tennyson Street as an alternative.

Wow. The Denver Real Estate market continues to heat up and with most good homes for sale don’t last on the market very long. There seem to be three kinds of buyers in the Denver market to buy a home these days. I see these potential buyers as either frustrated, desperate or patient. All three groups trying to find listings near downtown might look a little further west to Tennyson Street. Read More »

No, It's not the local Pradera Realtor in the bunny suit last year. But, I did take the photograph.

No, It’s not the local Pradera Realtor in the bunny suit last year. But, I did take the photograph.

My Pradera neighborhood is gearing up for the start of spring, golf course opening and Easter!  With Spring right around the corner, residents are starting to stir and prepare for getting their landscaping in order.

Sprinkler systems are being checked out, lawnmowers started after a long winter’s sleep and fertilizer is being stocked up.  Read More »

True Contemporary Homes in Stapleton

By Jason Cummings | Published: March 7, 2013
Stapleton has the best selection of new contemporary homes in Denver. People are willing to pay more from my experience selling dozens of these homes.

Stapleton contemporary homes in Denver sell fast. People are willing to pay more for contemporaries like this Wonderland homes model.

We hear it all the time. Where are true contemporary homes in Denver? Not “mid-century moderns” or the dated contemporaries built in the 1970′s and 1980′s with sunken living rooms and “passion pits” around fireplaces. True contemporaries are hard to find.

As a result, some of the few, true contemporary homes you can find are in Stapleton and are in high demand. Prices are getting to be higher than any other typical home styles in Denver. I know because I sold contemporary homes on-site for Infinity Home Collection for four years. Read More »
