A First Time Buyer Finds a Home
by Osman Parvez ---- I still remember when Orri told me that he wanted to buy a home in Boulder, years ago. He said he wanted a house, in good condition, with extra bedrooms that he might rent out to roommates. It was important that it had a yard with enough land for a garden. Another bonus was if it was in good commuting range to his job. It had to fit the budget, of course. Sadly at the time, he wasn't quite ready and ended up renting. Meanwhile, the market for entry level homes in Boulder became extremely competitive, pushing most first [...]

Fresh Listings vs Fireworks? You Choose [Get ‘Em Hot]
Happy Independence Day Weekend. I hope you have big plans to spend this time with your family and friends, get outside, and enjoy the beauty of Colorado. Unless you're home shopping, of course. If you're a serious buyer, this weekend is an opportunity. In the real estate world, holiday weekends are usually slow. Many buyers have plans with friends and family, which is why listing a new property during a holiday weekend is not usually a good idea. For buyers, there is less competition in the market. If you're serious, skip the BBQ and call your agent. Get out there [...]

Testimonials
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
