Ode to Otis

I had to share my feelings of excitement that I experienced while shopping at Costco yesterday. There amongst the frozen food items was a box with a name that brought back many memories from my days as an on-site new home counselor for John Laing Homes. The name was Otis Spunkmeyer. Otis Spunkmeyer is a great company that began in California. They have the number one selling cookie dough in the food service industry. While I worked at John Laing Homes we baked fresh cookies daily and our customers loved the smell while the cookies baked and visiting children and adults LOVED to enjoy the fresh-out-of the-oven treat. My longtime co-worker and good friend Linda even loved eating the dough frozen!

Now that they are selling the cookie dough at Costco I can create the same homey feeling at my open houses. I can also use the cookies to quickly and efficiently make up care packages for my clients. The box of Otis Spunkmeyer cookie dough sells for $12.99 and makes 75 cookies. The best part is the cookies are already formed into small dough balls ready to just put in the oven. It's simple, cheap and Zero trans fats!

So if you are out and about in Broomfield and see one of my open houses please stop in for a treat!

This article is something that I am sharing with my investors so that they are aware of the time delays to occupy and can plan accordingly.

The market has been good for home sellers and buyers. I am seeing the market pickup (in Broomfield, Erie, Louisville and Denver), due to the first time home buyer credit, continued low mortgage rates and affordable housing.

However, if you are an investor, you will want to read the article from the Denver Business Journal, link below.
