Greetings!
I hope you have exciting plans to celebrate the 4th of July this coming weekend! Here in Steamboat Springs we will have our annual parade and fireworks show - the latter of which is billed as the biggest and best ever!
Also, in keeping with tradition, the staff at Buyer's Resource will be hosting an open house at our downtown office, located at 118 8th Street, downtown, during and about an hour after the parade, which is scheduled to run from 10:00 AM to noon on Sunday.
To help celebrate our nation's birthday, we'll have free lemonade, watermelon, flags, balloons and Frisbees! It would be wonderful seeing you, so if you are in town please stop by! |

Edgemont Price Reduction Update  Last week I had a number of clients contact me regarding the unbelievable price drop at the exclusive Edgemont condominium complex. Sorry to report that the 30% discounts they were promoting were only available for the next three contracts, and it only took five days for three people to seize the opportunity.
However, they are now offering a 25% discount for the next three buyers, so if you are still interested in this great project, please email me today!
I have to give these developers credit, for they are doing what it takes to generate interest in their project. I also have to give those buyers credit for taking advantage when a great opportunity presents itself! |

I mentioned earlier about the significant price reductions at Edgemont. However, the one thing that I can't seem to understand is why it had to take the seller to first advertise that he was willing to take a discount for these three buyers act? Would Edgemont have accepted a 40% discount from a buyer before they made that public announcement? I guess we will never know.
As a real estate brokerage dedicated to seeking the best deal for my clients, it does not take an advertised offering to the masses for me to find a great opportunity. In today's market, if you are considering a property to purchase, who's to say that we can't create our own "special discount!"
If you have been thinking about a Steamboat property, wouldn't it make more sense to offer 30% below list now on a property you know is the one you want and not have to worry about competing with other buyers for the same property? Give it some thought and me a call or email if this makes sense.
I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July, and if you are in town, please stop by our office and say Hi!
