Your Word Should Be Your PromiseI firmly believe in and live by the statement; A Man Is Only As Good As His Word.I am old fashion - attribute this to my age and those with whom I associated and were my mentors.

Don't under value your skills already obtained yet speak highly of your attributes and see what the father has to offer as well.

For example, if you attribute any value to expansion area on the properties, you have to be able to justify it through a supply and demand study, which is typically proprietary to individual brokers or developers.Rather than go through the entire learning curve on the process, why not negotiate a percentage fee with a broker to help you handle the transaction?

I attribute mostly to the fact that people I already knew....or people I would meet now took me more seriously because of who I worked for.

At the meeting, we attributed this market craziness to many young professionals new to Denver with good jobs who want to walk to work and entertainment.We also noted that lots of units have gone under construction to supply this demand.
