Golden Colorado Real Estate Broker's Information...
Do you know what’s the #1 MISTAKE people make and the #1 COMPLAINT to the Colorado Real Estate Commission when buying or selling Golden Colorado real estate; especially buying Golden new homes?
Shockingly, it’s that there was confusion on the Purchase Contract and Buers and Sellers got “screwed financially” because they didn’t understand or were not clear on the Contract they just signed! What's amazing is that only a small fraction of those complaints were filed against experienced Golden CO real estate brokers and agents or experienced Golden Realtors. The majority of the complaints in 2007 and the majority of people who get pissed during and after the closing used inexperienced or part-time Golden real estate brokers - or NO Golden Realtor at all (…especially buying new homes in Golden Colorado.)
Wouldn’t you want experienced Golden Colorado real estate brokers sticking up for YOUR legal rights when the Sellers or Buyers decides to try to “screw you over” financially - or if there’s a problem on the mortgage loan or closing? Did I mention that I’ve personally closed nearly $100 million in real estate and mortgage loan transactions…and have always been able to negotiate or resolve every single problem we’ve encountered since 1998. I’m not saying that to brag, but instead to let you know that a professional Golden Realtors or Denver Colorado real estate agents representing your rights and helping you is absolutely mandatory, especially when problems come up!
Tell me about what price range of homes you're interested in and what part of town you want to buy in? Buying and selling Golden Colorado real estate is much more profitable when you hire me and when you send me the email form here...
Thanks again, I look forward to helping you.
