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 [...]
They’re Yuge! [Fresh Listings, Get ‘Em Hot]

Modern Farmhouse Fantasy [Fresh Listings Get ‘Em Hot]
By Osman Parvez ------- The modern farmhouse is rapidly becoming the most popular architectural style for new homes in Boulder. This week, you've got several to consider, each of which blends clean, crisp design on the inside with classic lines on the exterior. Of course, there is a big difference between an actual farm and modern farmhouses, but if you're looking for the real thing, we've got you covered too. A new listing just hit the market with 40+ acres and water rights. It's minutes from Boulder proper. The farm equipment is negotiable. Are you shopping for a house in [...]
Get Off The Bench, It’s Game Time [Fresh Listings, Get ‘Em Hot]
By Osman Parvez ------- Yeah, we know the Super Bowl is happening this weekend. If you're serious about finding a home or investment property in Boulder, you might want to put down the bowl of nachos and skip the game. Or at least take it easy at the Super Bowl party. The real estate game is played each and every weekend in Boulder. Occasionally new listings arrive early (and you have to be prepared for that), most hit the market towards the end of the week. Weekends are prime-time for showings and negotiations. Here at House Einstein, we don't go on [...]

Like a Needle In the Haystack [Fresh Listings, Get ‘Em Hot]
By Osman Parvez ------- When you're on the hunt for property, it can feel like hunting for a needle in the proverbial pile of straw. Inventory in Boulder remains low. Many properties are burdened with deferred maintenance or need updating, while the most desirable options attract multiple offers. It's not easy out there. Last year, we closed a record number of deals in the Boulder area. The key is to see a lot of inventory, while being selective to avoid wasting time. Discipline is important, not only because time is short, but to avoid feeling pushed into poor choices simply [...]

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 [...]
Inventory Rises. Selection Improves. [Fresh Listings, Get’ Em Hot]
House shopping in Boulder? As we roll into May, inventory is clearly higher than last year (about 14% for houses) and there are signals that the market is slowing (read "Better Sell Now.") In the last few years, there has been so little inventory and so much competition, that many buyers threw caution to the wind to get a chance at buying. Guess what? Careful selection and thorough due diligence are back in style. This week, about 150 properties hit the market in Boulder County. I've sifted through the inventory and picked out the very best. If you're shopping for [...]

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.
