http://mikemoger.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-piano.html
Mike Moger's Real Estate Blog. Monday, November 10, 2014. I’ve always said that the world is perfect. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, we then give it to human beings to run, and things get a little mucked up. The following story is taken from the annals of my career. Some things you just can’t make up. The buyers and I were standing on the curb discussing in detail what would happen the following day at the closing table when it happened. I've been told that a tornado sounds like a freight train ...

http://mikemoger.blogspot.com/2014/10/jerry-buys-house.html
Mike Moger's Real Estate Blog. Monday, October 27, 2014. Jerry Buys a House. This is a funny story, along with a valuable lesson about buying a home. Jerry flew through the door at our real estate office one day with more energy than anyone I know. He was a body builder, huge man, about 6 foot 5 or 6 inches. He very loudly announced to our petite receptionist that he was buying a house, and could he talk with someone. He loved the third house. He needed no time at all to make the decision. This w...8220;...

Or honestly, you’re a naturally curious and snoopy human being. Nothing wrong with that. It’s how we’re wired. I’ve always believed that knowing what’s going on around us is important, sometimes very much so. The more in...To begin, sea...

Mike Moger's Real Estate Blog. Monday, August 4, 2014. The Rule of 72. Every field of endeavor has a certain number of rules or guidelines, formulas, or just things about which the real experts know.

He called his insurance agent, and was told that he didn't have flood insurance. Too bad for him. But I don't even have a sump pump," he replied. 8220;No flood-insurance coverage? Don’t be so sure! Many believe that ...

Mike Moger's Real Estate Blog. Sunday, October 28, 2012. Save Electricity in Your Home. A few years ago, Lois and I decided to lower our electricity bill by replacing ALL of our existing bulbs to CFL's. To Cosco we drove and bought everything we needed for the total relighting of our home. I thought we probably had about 30-40 bulbs in the house. Amazing. 84. We found bulbs in places we'd never been in that house. Call me as you need. I'm always here for you. Enjoy the day,. Labels: Boulder homes for sale.
