If your Broker is good, listen to him

I am really on my soapbox today because I have just finished a real estate negotiation with a very intelligent Buyer who WOULD NOT LISTEN. 

If you are working with an honest, veteran Broker, for gosh sakes, listen to their opinion.  You don't have to follow their advice but at least listen.  You may be the guru of your own industry or profession and have an IQ of 500 but you probably haven't shown, negotiated and closed 1500 - 1800 homes.  We have experienced almost every situation imaginable and will share some of our insight if you will listen.

This delightful family did not get the home they really, really wanted and the headstrong member of the family feels worse about it than anyone else.  He would do anything to go back and start from scratch on his negotiation.  He still might not get the home, but he would know he had done everything possible to secure it.

My perennial beds are growing about an inch every day.  I love it!

Some Great Neighborhoods

If you like roomy lots, mature trees and a quiet street, watch for homes on the west end of W. 6^th street in Loveland. From the 1200 block and west, this street includes a cul-de-sac at the end. Homes were built in the 50’s and 60’s by a well respected builder. Quite a bit of brick and most have basements. I’m kind of nostalgic about the street because I used to babysit there when I was in high school. It was considered very “exclusive.” I haven’t seen any “For Sale Signs” recently but you never know when something will come up.
