Greetings from Estes Park!
I really miss my dog. I mean, REALLY. No more walks through the forest, soft doggie ears or the slap of a happy tail. I can hardly wait to get a couple more puppies and start all over!
There is, however, one benefit to not having a big bad forest patrol kind of dog roaming in the backyard. The deer have taken to snuggling up in the sunshine and being generally adorable. The bucks come through now and again, but mostly there are two fawns and their mom. They really like the soft green grass under the snow for snacks. i will miss them when I get my big bad puppies!

We sometimes hear the phrase, "Buyers are Liars"...referring to the tendency of buyers to give us their list of "gotta haves" and they end up buying something completely different.
I think it's a matter of digging deep enough to find that ONE THING on their list that is the most important, the thing that could override everything else on the list. I just closed a property with some buyers who wanted to live outside of town on a bit of acreage in a "cabin in the woods" sort of property. Know what we closed on? A split foyer house in town on a paved street with a lot and block legal description. Not exactly what we started out searching for, right? When it came right down to it, the primary issue was a great deal. A house that could use a facelift, things that a handy homeowner could do himself. That's EXACTLY what they got. Their perfect first house, not at all what we had in mind to start, but just the right house for my buyers..

Where would the real estate industry be without great contractors to fix all those things in the inspection notice that HAVE to be done before closing??? I have a closing tomorrow that just wouldn't have happened without some of these guys and I just wanted to say "Thanks" to them...Gary and Goody at Mountain Valley Plumbing and Heating, Ken Schwarz of Flash Electric, Earl McCrea of McCrea Excavation. We are lucky here in Estes Park to have a wonderful group of local contractors who have been in town a long time and whom we can call upon when that inspection notice pops up with a few surprises. They show up with their trucks, tools and equipement and we can breathe a sigh of relief. THANKS!
