Life Style Denver by Gretchen Faber

Hurry in for Curry

We went to India two years ago!! Double exclamation points because it was such a fantabulous trip. I was invited to teach a real estate class to the Indian property brokers in Mumbai, and while we were there we traveled throughout the country, and were fortunate to tour new construction high-rise condominiums ($2,000 per square foot on average - core and shell). We were treated like kings by our hosts and made lifetime friends. We arrived in India with a...Continue Reading!

Who Else Wants to Ditch Cell Phone Purgatory?

Landfills. We love to fill them up with our old junk. Now we have landfills in our houses too. Are you guilty? How many old phones do you have in your desk drawer? If your drawer is like mine, you can’t fit anything new until you purge something old - and I’m not even getting into how I purge the shoe closet… Could you use a new iPhone? The recent New York Times article entitled “The Afterlife of Cellphones” by Jon Mooallem,...Continue Reading!

Why Should You Skip Lunch?

When You Can Eat in Denver? I had lunch today with a friend and we decided to go to an old favorite restaurant, The Washington Park Grille.

The Wash Park Grill, as locals call it, has a menu for everyone. At lunch you can choose from soups, salads and terrific sandwiches. The Smoked Turkey...Continue Reading!

Why Do We Bother to Educate our Kids?

School search while relocating? My kids know everything, they don't need to learn. They certainly know way more than I do - and they won't hesitate to point that out on a daily basis. But some people seem to want to provide an education for their offspring. How many times have we Realtors heard, “where are the good schools?" It's hard enough to find the perfect house, without having to worry about visiting every school. Rest assured, Denver has excellent school...Continue Reading!

Save Me From Clueless Brokers!

This is an email I got the other day from a client: "Hey, I found another one. Not sure what's up with it. Perhaps you can shed some light to all the acronyms listed in its MLS summary. Obviously it needs work. However, for the price and location, it may be worth it - your experience will definitely help with the decision. It's located at 123 Main Street. Can we add it to our list for Saturday? Let me know what...Continue Reading!

If You Don’t Like the Weather in Denver, Stay a Minute

The weather changes here every 5 minutes. I've been in Denver for 26 years and I still can't get used to it. We live and die by the weather report. We don't discuss last night's sitcom around the water cooler, we discuss the weather. Yesterday it was 74 Degrees! I snapped these photos yesterday while I was headed out to pick up a buyer who is relocating to Denver from Dallas. It was a stunningly beautiful day here, and we were excited...Continue Reading!
