Good Morning to Everyone,

We have a lot ot discuss this morning, so lets get started. First of all, #TacoTuesday! I recently had the Monterey Fish Tacos at Sierra’s in Lone Tree. When presented properly, I think fish tacos are my favorite. Having grown up with seafood, something about fish tacos taking the best from the sea and combining it with the best of the Southwest, it just strikes a chord.

As for #TattoTuesday, I have to tell you, I’m all for personal expression. Tattoos are medium of expression exhibited worldwide. When I was a kid, my father, a Navy guy, told me tattoos were not for “Officers”. What did that even mean? I was probably 10. Anyway, I’d like your comment on this. I see tattoos celebrating people, events, things and allegiances, but I rarely if ever see tattoos of places. Show me please, a tattoo of Cape Code, Key West or the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. It’s in your arm now.

We routinely receive testimonials from our clients making our hearts swoon, and this is one of them!

“The sale of our Arvada home was a very chaotic time. My wife and I were trying to get everything packed, prepare the home for sale, find a new house in CA, and travel for our jobs. Dee and Tom were very helpful and patient as we moved through the process. They kept track of all the needed documents and kept us on schedule to sign all the documents necessary. They know the business very well and provided excellent advice when there were important decisions to be made. They were very calm during a crazy time and it helped us get through the the entire process. They were able to assist in expediting the sale as the buyers wanted to move quickly. They were able to provide very personal attention and that was greatly appreciated.”

What a great couple to assist. Moving from Colorado to California is not easy!

Finally, what about the #DenverMarketWatch? In the last 7 days, it has looked like this:

New Listing

With not much change here, we are marching into the realization that #MortgageInterestRates are clearly taking their toll on Buyers and Sellers. In just 60 days, we will officially begin an #ElectionYear. As we all know, #ElectionYears always create havoc on the world. I’m going to predict right now, it will be all about promises and unfulfilled promises. Do you think I have this one right?

Last, but not least, Get ready to get out there, because it will look like this in just a few weeks!

So long for this week, and safe travels…tc
