I work with many folks who are moving to Denver and I’m used to most of the questions I am asked.  But this week, I was asked a question by a relocation transferee. He wanted to know how he should interview for a listing broker where he currently lives. I thought that was a great [...]

  Christie’s International is the real estate division of the famous New York art auction house.  It has just named The Kentwood Company as its exclusive Denver affiliate to market luxury Denver homes.

Colorado home buyers relocating from another state need to understand that sometimes Colorado Pets are not included in the Contract to Buy and Real Estate.

NODE is North of Denver

I have to agree with Brian’s article about the suburbs north of Denver. Some Realtors are such “Downtown Chauvinists” or “South-Side Snobs”, they never show Relocation Buyers what lies north of the city limits.

Denver’s Western Heritage

This weekend my family and I put on our Western garb and headed on down to the 105th annual National Western Stock Show and Rodeo. It’s a tradition we’ve been doing since 1983 but it’s an annual event that dates back to the time of the unsinkable Molly Brown. Here’s a video I took there.
