What a difference a month makes! As I’m sure you do, I look back fondly at the simple things I did with family and friends whenever we wanted, however we wanted. I wouldn't say I took it all for granted, but maybe kind of? Oh to dine out. Oh to stroll along the bustling Pearl Street Mall. Oh to see live music at the Boulder Theater. Oh to have a haircut. Oh to see a movie in the theater. Oh to have acupressure massage at the Relaxing Station. Oh to fly somewhere warm. Oh to be free. We will get our “stuff" back soon, but in the meantime let's take care of ourselves and our loved ones.
Real estate has been listed an essential service so I’m mostly grinding the same. In fact today I’m negotiating an offer on a listing. However, we are on lockdown till month’s end with no showings or open houses permitted by the powers that be. Properties under contract may be inspected and appraised. Business distancing is also required so we’re closing deals in the parking lots adjacent to title companies. It’s definitely not business as usual but it’s still business. And visit my new featured property listing this month at 2850 Vassar Drive - an amazing architectural home in South Boulder with great views of the Foothills and Flatirons. This is going to be a wonderful home for someone soon!
I haven't been to the RE/MAX office for over a month since we’ve isolated at home. While I continue to work closely with buyers and sellers, I’m also working on marketing and areas of the business that I can make better. But still, my favorite part of the day is writing letters and reaching out to you by phone. If you haven't heard from me yet, you will.
I’m enjoying house and yard projects that had been on eternal delay till now. Trail running continues to keep me sane. The trails are becoming inundated with humans. I love that people are getting out there. Please tune in to From The Trail #41 and learn about my wife Kristin's and my experience with the illness.
In the meantime, remember to thank the essential workers in your life and find ways to support your local businesses that are feeling the burn of being closed. We've got this, friends. I’ll see you on the other side where life will be grand,
HATCH
