Bidding Wars, Meetups and “The Talk” [Business Update]
--- by Osman Parvez Last week was a good one. A few highlights: • After several months of seeing Boulder property, one of our buyer couples were successful and went under contract on a beautiful home in Noble Park. There were several competing offers, including at least one cash deal. In the second round of negotiation, my clients were able to improve their terms and it's possible the sellers favored a family, vs. investors. This particular property suited my clients extremely well and I'm very happy that we were able to help them lock it down. They're also fantastic people who work [...]
New Listings, Bidding Wars, and Litigation [Business Update]
The view from one of our potential upcoming listings by Osman Parvez A business update for the week ending March 25, 2018: • We had a couple of listing appointments last week at attractive properties for which market conditions are very strong. Marketed professionally there will almost certainly be strong interest from buyers. We walked the sellers through our marketing strategy and how we navigate and negotiate with multiple offers - our approach to maximize price and minimize risk. In each case, the sellers have pre-existing relationships with other Realtors, but wanted a second opinion. It's tough to compete with [...]
Business Update
• Sophie is enjoying a well deserved vacation. Pardon the poorly edited blog post. Typos are my doing, entirely. • We had two great closings last week, both attached dwellings in very competitive market segments in Boulder. One was a primary residence, the other an income property. Both awesome properties and we have two very happy clients. • Closing #1 was with a client we've represented several times. We feel a deep sense of gratitude at the opportunity to work with such a deeply savvy buyer again, and one whom has high integrity. They're thorough and smart, each time we [...]
Business Update 3/12
by Osman Parvez ---- Business update for the week of 3/12: First, a shout-out to the staff at the Southern Sun. As regulars know, it's hard to get a table at this very popular South Boulder restaurant. Last night, they handled a gathering of 20 for my fiancé's birthday party. They crushed it. Many of our clients turn into friends. A number joined us last night. p.s. Tyler, I totally spaced inviting you. Let's make up a date. Our new blog is launched. It looks amazing and we love it. Unfortunately, the template also grabs the first photo which means the [...]
Business Update 3/5/18
by Osman Parvez ---- One of Lindsay's beautiful pieces Here's our business update for the week: - One of our regular blog readers shared positive feedback on this series of business updates.

Business Update 2/26/18
by Osman Parvez ---- It was another great week in Boulder real estate at House Einstein. A few highlights: • We've been taking steps to help a client evaluate a really special home in Boulder. This deal is still in play so I can't discuss it in specifics, but I can touch upon one of the key challenges. How does one accurately determine the appreciation rate for a unique, high-end property in Boulder when there are no comparable sales? Starting with a baseline for appreciation is helpful but the data online is mostly garbage. It's too generic to be useful [...]
Business Update 2/19/18
by Osman Parvez Last week was another busy one for House Einstein. Here's a quick update on our activities, CliffNotes style. - We successfully negotiated a good deal for our investors on an income property at Tantra Lake. The unit is in decent condition and the location should continue to rent well given it's proximity to CU campus south. Main level with a view over the neighborhood - We joined our clients for a pre-drywall walk through on a Skyestone property (Taylor Morrison) in Broomfield last week. The professionalism of the builder and sales staff has been impressive throughout the process. [...]
Business Update – 2/12/18
by Osman Parvez ---- On Monday mornings, we usually review business activity from the weekend and plan the upcoming week. Here's the update for the week of Feb 12: 1. Our beautiful listing on Eagle Way had many showings over the weekend, which must have been challenging for our sellers who have a young child, but resulted in several offers. We are now preparing an offer comparison table for our clients to review this evening. Think of this as "deal points," similar to something you might see in an investment committee. To reduce the risk of a losing buyer claiming discrimination, [...]
