PCS to Colorado Springs?

Homebuying FAQ's 1. Isn't it just easier to rent than to buy? I get this question a lot. Colorado Springs is very different from other duty stations you may have lived at. The area is large but really still small. That won't make sense to you now but when you arrive you'll get what I mean. We have really one county in our area (excluding the mountain communities). Finding a home takes (with a good Realtor of course) no more than a...Continue Reading!

Can you Freeze Your Credit?

The answer is yes. One of my lender partners, Jeff Chapdelaine of Cherry Creek Mortage, just told me about this service.  Those who are quite sure they will not be needing to open any new credit might want to consider it.

Do MLS Photos Tell The Truth?

Maybe and Maybe Not! The benefit of today's technology allows buyers to preview homes online. When I started in real estate in 1990, we used the old MLS books that were published every two weeks.

This woman had only recently rented the home for $1600 per month and done some remodeling so she could open a home daycare business. That plan will now have to change! (more...)Continue Reading!
