There’s Always Another House [Fresh Listings, Get ‘Em Hot]
It's hard for me to believe. I've been working with buyers and sellers for nearly 15 years. Based on all those years, this I know for sure: There is always another house. If you missed out on a listing, it's best to lick your paws and let it go. When you're ready, dust off and get back in the game. Yes, losing a bidding war can be painful. Sometimes another buyer, with greater financial resources (or far less prudence) wants it more than you do. Meanwhile, "winning" only to get cold feet a few days later and bail out is not winning [...]

Historic or Modern, High End or Entry Level. You’ve Got Options [Fresh Listings, Get ‘Em Hot!]
by Osman Parvez ---- Given the spectacular weather in Boulder this weekend, you might be tempted to take the weekend off. Don't. Whether you're in the market at the top end or the entry, there are options, but the best Boulder homes go very quickly. The key is to see property when it first hits the market and be educated on market conditions so you can make an offer quickly. The best way to make an intelligent decision under the pressure of competitive offers and extremely limited supply is to see lots of property and have a buyer's agent with [...]

If you're serious about buying real estate, now is the time to meet with your Realtor to develop an effective strategy for finding the right home. Part of that strategy should include seeing listings regularly, even if you're months away from pulling the trigger.

Testimonials
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.
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.
