We started this home search looking for single family homes with van parking in Centennial.

We ended up under contract on a townhouse in Castle Rock.

In between, we looked at nearly 30 homes over about a week and a half.

That’s not inefficiency — that’s what it actually looks like when a buyer is figuring out what they really want. Sometimes the only way to figure out exactly what you need is to picture yourself in a lot of different homes. My job isn’t to push someone toward a decision. It’s to stay in their corner long enough for the right fit to reveal itself.

It did. She’s under contract on a home that fits where she’s actually headed — not where she thought she was headed when we started.

That’s the job. 🏡

Last week I posted about competing against investors on homes that needed work. Here's the update.

Both of those investor offers fell through. Both times, I had a buyer ready. Both are now under contract.

This isn't a knock on investors — they move fast and they see value where others don't. But speed and certainty aren't the same thing. When an investor backs out, a seller loses time, momentum, and sometimes their next buyer.

For sellers: if you accept an investor offer, make sure you understand what happens if it falls apart. Having a strong backup offer — or an agent who knows how to structure one — can be the difference between a clean close and starting over.

For buyers: this market has opportunities. Sometimes patience and the right offer structure gets you a home that wasn't available a month ago.

Twice this week I was representing buyers making offers on homes that needed work. Both times we were competing with investors.

That's not a coincidence. Investors are active right now, and they're not buying randomly — they're buying where they see value. In both cases, the homes needed updating but were priced to reflect that. The investors saw the math.

Here's what that means if you own a home that needs some work: you may have more options than you think. The conventional wisdom is that you need to fix everything before you list, or accept a steep discount. But in the right situation, with the right positioning, investor interest can actually create competition — and competition is what gets sellers the best outcome.

I'll be honest about why I feel confident in this space: I have been in the construction industry for over 20 years and grew up in houses that were constantly under construction. I can look at a home that needs work and give you a realistic read on what it should sell for, what buyers — including investors — will actually pay, and how to position it to get the best result without over-investing in updates that won't move the needle.

If you have a home you've been sitting on because it needs work and you're not sure what to do with it, that's exactly the conversation I'd like to have.

If you're a buyer in the Denver metro right now, you have more leverage than you've had in years. More inventory, longer days on market, and sellers who are increasingly motivated to make deals happen.

The question is how to use that leverage most effectively.

Most buyers default to negotiating on price. And price matters — but in today's rate environment, a seller-paid interest rate buydown can sometimes have more impact on your actual monthly payment than an equivalent price reduction. A lower rate affects every payment for the life of the loan. A price cut is a one-time reduction on a number that gets amortized over 30 years.

It doesn't always pencil out that way — it depends on the loan, the rate, and the specific numbers. This is a conversation for your lender, not a Facebook post. But knowing the tool exists, and asking about it, is part of using your leverage well.

For sellers: in a market where 7 out of 10 homes aren't going under contract in the first 30 days, understanding what actually moves buyers off the fence matters. Sometimes that's price. Sometimes it's something else.

The best outcomes I see right now are when both sides understand the full picture — not just the top line number.

Just a heads up - I'll be a little hard to reach this weekend.

Attempting my first 100 mile run starting Saturday. I should be done by Sunday.....

Back to normal(ish) by Monday. 🏔️

In today's Denver market, only about 3 in 10 homes go under contract within the first 30 days. This one did.

One of the reasons: before we listed, I brought in a professional stager to work with the seller's existing furniture and fixtures — not rented pieces, not a generic refresh, but a thoughtful repositioning of what was already there to show the home at its absolute best. That's included in how I work with sellers. It's not an upsell, it's just part of the job.

Staging is one piece. Professional photography is another. Pricing strategy, marketing, and timing all have to align too. Every home gets a custom plan built around those pieces — because a plan that works for one property doesn't automatically work for the next.

This one sold in 27 days. In this market, that's not an accident.

This is what my client had to say about it....

Most sellers assume that once school starts, the selling season is over. It isn't.

Here's what actually happens in the fall market:

The buyers who are out there this time of year aren't casual. Summer browsers with extra time on their hands have gone back to their routines. The people actively looking at homes in September and October are there because they need to move — a job change, a divorce, a new baby, a life transition that doesn't wait for a convenient season. Those buyers are motivated, and motivated buyers make deals happen.

There's also less competition. Fewer active listings means your home gets more attention from that serious buyer pool, not less.

And don't overlook the year-end factor. Some buyers have financial or tax reasons to close before December 31st, which creates real urgency in Q4 that you simply don't see in summer.

As for the house itself — fall can actually be easier to maintain. Less pressure on landscaping and curb appeal. Keep the leaves raked and let the home speak for itself.

The best time to sell is when it's right for you and your family. But if you're hesitating because you think the season has passed — it hasn't.

Every property I take on gets a strategy built from scratch. Seller's needs, market conditions, time of year, the specific home — all of it goes into an approach proven to get results. There's no one-size-fits-all playbook, and that's exactly why it works.

This one means a lot.

This military family was posted to Buckley and trusted me and my colleague Tina Cameron to help them find their home in Colorado — before they even arrived in the state. We looked at homes together, their three young daughters in tow, and ultimately decided to purchase a new build. That meant securing a great VA interest rate and making sure the builder delivered on every commitment, not just what was easiest for them.

Helping a military family get settled in a new state, in a new home they're proud of, is one of the most meaningful things I get to do in this work.

Grateful for the kind words and even more grateful for the trust. 🏡

I'm running a 100-mile ultramarathon next month. I don't say that to impress anyone — I say it because training for something like that teaches you things that show up in every other part of your life.

In an ultra, things go wrong. You get a blister at mile 40. A trekking pole breaks. The weather turns. You don't quit — you wrap the blister, fix what you can, and keep making forward progress toward the finish line. The goal doesn't change. Your job is just to figure out what's next.

Real estate transactions are the same way. One of the most challenging deals I've ever navigated involved a divorcing couple selling a multi-million dollar home. They could barely get through a phone call without things going sideways. The inspection was difficult. The transaction was bumpy from start to finish. But they both needed to maximize their proceeds — that was the finish line, even when they couldn't see it themselves.

My job was to stay calm, keep everyone focused on the goal, and get them to the closing table. We got there.

I'm not sure there are many realtors out there training for 100-mile races. But I think that mindset shows up in how I work — for every client, on every transaction, no matter what the trail looks like that day.

One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that buying and selling a home has to follow one standard path.

In reality, there are often multiple ways to accomplish the same goal.

Recently I learned about another "buy before you sell" option that could be a great fit for certain homeowners. For the right situation, it allows someone to purchase their next home before selling their current one, removing a lot of the stress that comes with trying to coordinate both transactions.

Will it be the right answer for everyone?

No.

Just like a VA loan assumption, builder incentives, or investor-backed purchase options aren't the right fit for everyone.

But that's exactly the point.

Every client has different priorities, different finances, and different goals.

My job isn't to steer everyone toward the same solution.

It's to understand as many options as possible so we can choose the one that best fits the person sitting across the table.

Sometimes the best strategy isn't the most obvious one.
