The Best of Denver Real Estate [Eye Candy]
--- by Sophie Kloor I love Boulder: the land of Flatirons, yoga pants, wheatgrass, and puffy coats. However, I have been craving city life and and this past September I purchased a lovely home in City Park West. This move to Denver has created an opportunity for me to further my understanding of the Denver real estate market - and I am increasingly captivated by all that this city offers. I've been discovering different neighborhoods, eateries, coffee shops and, best of all, awesome properties. The Denver market is vast and has options for every type of buyer, at every price point.

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 [...]

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.
