8 Things You Need To Know About Buying A Home

Image
I am a realtor and real estate investor based in Centennial, Colorado, With over 15 years of experience,  I aim to help homebuyers make smart, strategic purchases. I advises first-time and “experienced” buyers alike to build a team of experts, scrutinize their finances, and remain in control throughout the process.

Open house in Englewood: The Future of ADU's and Zoning.

Image
As home prices and rental rates continue to soar with little restraint across the metro area, a decidedly unsexy topic — accessory dwelling units — is generating more heat as communities look to the small living spaces on small lots for needed relief in an overheated real estate market.
