Let's Talk Denver

This past summer I found extra time to drive around the Denver metro area, taking images of various sites, including many Denver neighborhoods and random homes.  Aside from my passion for photography I felt it would be a good way to show off my city.

If you are a newcomer to the area or just thinking about making a move you may find this blog a valuable resource for getting a glimpse into what the Denver area looks like.  Be sure to bookmark it or better yet subscribe (see link on the top nav bar) to it in your RSS reader.

Over the course of the next few months I will be posting my work, I promise you there will be more photos than words. :)

Want to Live in the Mountains? Conifer May Be for You!

Conifer is a great mountain town, fairly close-in to metro Denver.   Located just south on Highway 285 (that's Hampden Ave for those in the know), Conifer has grown from a sleepy little town to a very nice, modern place complete with many restaurants and two Starbucks!

It wasn't very long ago the drive to Conifer was difficult, but no longer thanks to the wide 4-lane highway.  

Conifer, Colorado offers a variety of mountain living style homes.  A word of caution if you decide to buy a home here, the views, peacefulness and the wonders of nature may get to you, rendering you worthless for ever living in the "flatlands" again!

I sold a home on top of Conifer mountain a couple months ago.  Not only did the home have a magnificent view of Denver and the plains, it overlooked the town of Conifer too.  The buyer fell in love at first sight when he saw the home.  The deal was sealed when the fox family strolled out of the woods to visit.

 

Mountain living is not for everyone, but for most people it's the reason they move to Colorado!

Tenants find themselves Homeless...

Modern day Carpet baggers are taking advantage of the public in a different way. Homeowners are renting their homes to tenants, collecting the rent and not paying the mortgage.

This practice is called “Equity Skimming.” While the homeowner, who many times pass themselves off as “investors” legally own the home, they fail in their obligation to keep the mortgage current.

Time is on the Equity Skimmers side, for only so long. Eventually the tenant will come home one day to find a “eviction notice” taped to the door. When that happens, the tenant has little choice but to move out. Seldom does the new owner (the bank) honor the lease. They want the property sold and quickly. That means you will be asked to move.

Eviction notices that are ignored are followed by the Sheriff arriving and physically having you and your possessions place at the curb. It’s not a pretty sight. continue ...

Cast Your Vote...

Election year is coming up, that's true.  I am asking for your vote, but not in a political mode.  My son is a finalist in the KYGO Casting Call.  He is one of five finalists to win some cash and a trip to the Country Music Awards.

All I ask is you go view the video (Richard Wimberly's) and if you like it, vote for him.

Here's the link to vote:

Rememeber when...

Remember once upon a time when life was simple?  You could dress up like Dracula, ride on a pony dressed like a witch and never get your face to stop smiling?

Yes, those were are the days my friends!  Noah <2.

Parker, Colorado residents celebrated the season at the annual Horse Halloween.  Kids, parents and ponies had a wonderful time.

Thanks for the memories.

Broom Crisis Hits Denver Metro

Recently I've become aware of a serious shortage in the Denver Metro area.  Yesterday I promised my out of state home seller I would clean up a mess left by the landscapers.  It was an easy 20 minute job of sweeping dirt off the sidewalk.  No problem! I enjoy making things look better than when I found them so off to Home Depot I went to buy a fresh new broom.

No luck.  I ventured to Lowes.  Still no luck.  I went to Target, zero score.  I drove to (yuck) Walmart, zilch.  King Soopers, Safeway still no brooms.  Not even at Whole Foods could I even find a earth-friendly handmade imported green sweeper!

What's up? I called my Realtor friends in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Boulder and Loveland.  They reported the same problem.  My son who works in Broomfield must certainly be able to find me a broom, nope!  Zack said "Mom, it's hopeless!"

We are living in a Broomless state!

I wonder if the shortage of brooms has something to do with the rain forest people getting their way finally?  Could it be the bristles are in short supply? Where do bristles come from anyway? Pig whiskers? 

Oh well it doesn't matter why there is shortage.  What is important that we get the word out.  If you are relocating to Denver or moving to Colorado in fact, you better bring your own broom. 

Guess that means we are a BYOB state.

Go Rockies! We love you!
