One of the best kept secrets in the Denver area is the wonderful opportunity to enjoy first run plays at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts……for FREE! That’s right, FREE! Before each opening night of the majority of plays at the DCPA the public is invited to attend a full performance of the play. The tickets are given out at 4:30 the afternoon of the play and you must be...
I’ve often wondered, when I walk through homes that are cluttered and outdated, how people can stand to live there.
When I come home, I want to walk into a sanctuary, a place that makes me feel relaxed and refreshed – even if it’s not “interior designer-y”, I want to be able to look around and breathe deeply, with no to-do list that runs through my head. Of course, my...

Over lunch with a colleague the other day, we started talking about the Real Estate market and the Mortgage Crisis, how and why this whole mess started, and how to fix it.
We agreed that one of the major problems is a trend that started with the creation of ”creative” financing – people started skipping vital rungs on the property ladder. And, just like when you skip a step or two...
Well, here it is the Labor Day weekend, where did the summer go? One of the great end-of-summer traditions in downtown Denver is the Taste of Colorado. There is something for everyone at this lively event…carnival rides and cotten candy for the kids, amazing food from over 50 of Colorado’s most popular restaurants for the foodies in the group and great music from some of the hottest...
I always like what Jean Chatzky has to say, even when it’s painful (what do you mean, I have to give up Starbucks to get out of debt?!). Today is no different, as she reports on the Today show and on msnbc her advice for buying and selling in the midst of a Mortgage Crisis and Crackdown…
If you’re a buyer…
Shop for a mortgage, then the house
Don’t settle for being...

The following was in USA Today this morning. I think it’s a pretty good summary of the foreclosure crisis and what needs to happen in order to fix the problem. Colorado is actually at the forefront in adopting new policies and programs to help correct and avoid lending problems, as well as try to keep people out of foreclosure, because our state started seeing really high foreclosure rates quite...
I spent an hour this morning trying to figure out a straight answer to this question, and I have concluded: Nobody really knows.
Sure, we can all look at the numbers that have been scrubbed by the media to support whatever story they have written – sales are down, prices are down, the world is ending, etc.
But when I talk to people who deal with Real Estate every day, I hear a totally different...
