Recently I came across the Denver Government website and it had a great overview of various Denver neighborhoods. Wellshire Park real estate is booming. Here’s their overview of the Wellshire Park neighborhood:

The residential Wellshire neighborhood, with its meandering and curvy streets, extends from Colorado Boulevard to University Boulevard and from Yale Avenue to Hampden Avenue. One-fourth of the southeast area is home to the 18-hole Wellshire Golf Course designed in 1926 by Donald Ross. The 13.4-acre Skeel Reservoir and mature cottonwood trees make an attractive landscape for golfers. The former clubhouse for the Wellshire Country Club was remodeled in 1976 as the Wellshire Inn at 3333 South Colorado Boulevard.

Well..thanks to my friend, Phil Leto, mortgage professional and Website guru extrodinaire, my new website 5280DenverHomes is now live. It is still a work in progress and I will be adding tons of information to provide quality information for the Colorado Home Buyer or Denver Home Seller.
Any ideas would be appreciated as I hope to build a premier site for my clients.

“Dear Jay,

In my 15 years of real estate investing, I want you to know it was a pleasure working with you. Not many real estate brokers could successfully juggle 80+ showings and 4 offers on my Littleton fix and flip. You managed it well, and I want you to know, I would highly recommend you to friends if they need an agent. Best of Luck!”

-Rob S.

Greetings,

If you have traveled to this website from my postcard I sent you, I thank you for stopping by here. This listing was one of my most challenging sales yet probably the most rewarding I have had. First of the Seller, Rob S was just fantastic to work with.
He appreciated my advice as we both navigated 4 offers, 2 under contracts and finally 1 that closed last month. We had over 82 showings. Why so many you ask?

Well, there is lots of interests in fix and flips in the Denver area. This was in Littleton and needed major work. There were structural issues caused by a previous homeowner, an HOA board that wanted this problem to go away and many neighbors who are excited to see the new owner bring this gorgeous home to showroom condition.

We marketed the property in various ways. I sent out emails and open house invites to my vast network of investor clients, followed up with many realtors and told and retold the story and opportunity that the house provided. We marketed this to the internet community through various channels.

In the end, we closed relatively fast considering the work needed to fix up the property. Again, my hats off to Rob S, I hope we can work again soon.

If you would like to discuss how I can help you sell your home, pls call me at 303-475-1500.

Thinking of buying a Denver fix and flip? Or maybe looking for short sale in Arvada or Westminster? Lots of opportunity out in the Denver market for buying property under market value. Thats the good news. The bad news is there are alot of ‘investors’ chasing these deals. Investors that have their financing in place, who know how to manage their renovation costs, who can pull the trigger when an opportunity is presented to them are the ones making money in this game. Oh and investors who create partnerships with their Denver real estate broker. A seasoned investor will have a good general contractor, plumber, electrician,carpet guy, tile guy, loan officer, real estate agent and other experts lined up so that when a house comes up with 20-40k in equity, they can seize the opportunity. If your interested in learning more, I work with investors for their buy and hold and buy and flip strategies. Deals are out there and I see the properties go fast every day.

An awesome book for Denver Real Estate Investors is Gary Keller’s “The Millionaire Real Estate Investor”.

Strong micro markets do exist in Colorado despite all the press Colorado has gotten lately with foreclosures. Homes above 600, 000 in the Applewood, Golden and Arvada areas are not staying on the market that long. The past month I have seen 3 houses come on the market and quickly go under contract. These houses were in West Wood Estates, near Fairmount elementary school and Table Rock in Golden. If you would like a complete analysis of your home value, pls contact me
