A Few Thoughts on The Protests
After a heart-felt team meeting today, I want to share a few thoughts. House Einstein is an inclusive company. We are grateful to have an opportunity to serve clients and work with colleagues of all races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, and socio-economic status. House Einstein welcomes and celebrates diversity. We were deeply horrified and outraged by the murder of George Floyd, and many other tragic deaths.

To Everything There is a Season
--- by Osman Parvez Well, it's that time of year. The summer real estate season in Boulder is over. After the CU kids settle in and the semester begins, a small wave of secondary activity will occur but it will be a very different market than the spring and summer. It always is. Buyers: Now is the time to take a second look at some of the overpriced listings that have sat on market all summer. This is the time of year that sellers are prone to be more reasonable. Don't be afraid to negotiate. If you're patient and disciplined, you might find [...]
Happy Independence Day!
July 4, 1776 The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America.When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed [...]

The Impact of Flood Damage in Boulder [Meetup]
by Osman Parvez The next Boulder Real Estate Meetup will be held at The Riverside (NE corner of Broadway and Arapahoe) at 6pm on January 23rd. You're invited. After September's floods, the real estate landscape in Boulder changed. Virtually overnight, listing agents began touting unaffected properties as having survived the flood unscathed. Meanwhile, many basements and lower levels experienced varying degrees of flood damage and owners wondered what to do. I've received many phone calls and emails asking about extent of responsibility, permitting, and liability. Time to call in the experts. Brandon Apple from [...]

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.
