More homebuyers considering HUD homes and FHA loans

Last week a HUD specialist told me that he’s listing between 10 and 20 HUD properties per week.

Broomfield Welcomes Harry Potter

Sure, you meant well, you got that email with all the caps and bolded letters and exclamation points and honest to Pete those [...]

Go see Live Free or Die Hard!

If you haven’t been to see the movie Live Free or Die Hard go and do it!!

I’m not really so big [...]
