In this podcast, we discuss the selection process of finding a referral agent, questions you should ask, and tips for seeing through the fog. We walk through the process of how we help our clients, friends, and family get the best representation for their real estate goals in markets outside our coverage footprint. Additional topics include recent notable sales and development of Boulder’s Planning Reserve.

The House Einstein Podcast is available wherever you podcast. Hosted by Osman Parvez and Hamish Crabb.

• Intro: 

“Oh, lazy realtor, doleful and drear, A useless specter, a glorified doorman near, Your efforts, a mirage, unhelpful, they seem, In the realm of deceit, you reign supreme.

With words like honey, you lure and lie, Promising dreams that never touch the sky, A master of inaction, you proudly stand, While dreams of hopeful buyers turn to sand.

In truth, a realtor’s heart should care, But you, alas, are scarce aware, With feet of lead, you shun the fray, Leaving clients lost in disarray.

Oh, lazy realtor, your reputation’s dire, A symbol of deceit, a roaring pyre, May earnest agents rise above, And bring back trust, respect, and love.”
