REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK very entrepreneurial and tech savvy, and I support other local games and see them progress from year to year. As a family, Jeff Jackson business people whenever I can. we enjoy movies, hikes, and spending time in the mountains. I REALTOR®
How long have you worked in Real Estate? I have been in this business for 13 years, enjoying helping clients attain their real estate goals.
7887 E Belleview Ave Suite 175 Englewood, CO 80111 Direct: (303) 514-7621 www.jeffjacksonhomes.com Where were you born? I was born in Lincoln Nebraska. Every time I mention my hometown, people ask me if I am a Husker Fan. I always tell them when Colorado plays Nebraska, I am never disappointed with the outcome, I like to keep them guessing! How long have you lived in the area? 33 Years. I went to Fairview High School in Boulder and graduated from the University of Northern. Colorado.
What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? My specialty is marketing homes with a proven system that is guaranteed to get homes sold in 60 days or less – which has consistently outperformed the MLS averages. What is the most challenging part of what you do? Our contracts, laws, and lending standards are constantly changing. We need to constantly take continuing education classes so we can serve our clients at the very highest level.
What do you like most about it? I love living and working here because of the exceptional people in our community. The business climate here is
What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? Spending time with my wife and two sons is my favorite pastime when I am not working. My sons both play sports, and I love watching their
am an avid fly-fisher, wing shooter and skier. It has been great to introduce my boys to these sports as well as everything else our beautiful state has to offer. I also enjoy cooking, reading and spending time with extended family and friends. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? Don’t leave selling your largest investment up to chance. Interview until you find an experienced Realtor with a proven marketing strategy and track record who is willing to guarantee their service in writing. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Don’t settle for a home, get what you want. The current market has a low inventory of quality homes. Competition is high for quality homes that often sell over the list price. Hire an experienced Realtor who will help you find the type of home you want, for the very best price. Experienced agents have networks that can help you find the home you are looking for which may not even be listed in the MLS. This can help put you in position of getting the home you want at the very best price. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? Wow, hard to answer this one. It seems every day can be a little unusual in this business. While showing homes, I have been nipped at by dogs, videotaped by a neighbor who thought I was breaking into a home, and was even invited to stand at a new clients’ wedding a week after closing.

strengths and I love the creativity that marketing a home offers me. I love figuring out how to market the home so that it will appeal to the broadest set of Buyers.
Broker Associate The Encore Home Team rkenny@thedenver-100.com www.beckykenny.com Where were you born? My father was in the Army and stationed in Fort Riley, Kansas where I was born. My family moved to Colorado when I was a child.
What is the most challenging part of what you do? There are so many individuals involved in achieving a successful closing. Making sure that everyone meets his or her obligations is critical to this success. Attention to detail is just one of my strengths that enables success for my clients.
How long have you lived in the area? 12 years What do you like most about it? I love the small town feel that Castle Rock offers and how the community cares about one another. I feel so connected to the people whose path I cross daily. How long have you worked in Real Estate? 9 years

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Having your home professionally staged (which is one of my services) and making it shine like a penny will help a home rise to the top of Buyers choices. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Asking great questions and then listening carefully to my Buyers enables me to understand what is important to them. Price is always paramount, but understanding location, style of home, schools, amenities, features and what gets my Buyers excited always allows me to “hit a home run” for my Buyers. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? That’s a tough question because as you can imagine we have the opportunity to encounter so many unusual situations. I have learned that you always have to maintain your professionalism, be the calmest person in the room and remember to breathe and laugh.
What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? I work with all ranges of both Buyers and Sellers. I am passionate about serving my clients and helping them

Factors that might hurt a home’s value N owadays, homeowners looking to sell their homes know it’s not as easy to do so as it might have been a few years ago. A struggling economy has made it difficult for many homeowners to sell their homes for a price they’re comfortable with. But the sagging economy is not the only thing can make it difficult to sell a home. In fact, a host of other things, some obvious but some not so obvious, can hurt a home’s value as well. Location: A home’s location is arguably its best or worst selling point. A home in a great location won’t be as difficult to sell as a home in a bad neighborhood. But location goes beyond a neighborhood’s reputation, especially in recent years. Homeowners who live in a neighborhood or development with many foreclosures might find those foreclosed properties are hurting their own home’s value. Lots of foreclosures could negatively affect
a neighborhood’s reputation, which might make a home within that neighborhood less attractive to prospective buyers. Appearance: A home’s appearance is another obvious variable that might affect its resale value. Homeowners might want their home to reflect their own individuality, but that’s not going to help when the time comes to sell the home. If the exterior paint is out of the ordinary, then it might be wise to choose a more traditional or conservative color before erecting the “For Sale” sign out front. The same goes for a home’s interior. If the interior design is especially unique, a more traditional interior decor might help the home sell faster. Size and style: Another thing to consider when selling a home is its size and style. A home that stands out on the block might be an attention-grabber, but that’s not always attractive to prospective buyers. For instance, a colonial sitting in the middle
of a street filled with contemporary homes will stand out, but likely for all the wrong reasons. It will likely appear dated and out of place, which is something buyers might not want. In addition, if the home is considerably larger or smaller than the surrounding homes, then this could hurt its value. Non-conformity: In many ways, conformity is not considered an admirable trait. But when selling a home, conformity could make the difference between a home selling quickly or remaining on the market for months if not years. When shopping for a home, buyers often shop in certain neighborhoods and towns and might see many different homes within a given ZIP code. Homeowners with homes that don’t conform to others in the area might find it difficult to sell their homes. For instance, homeowners trying to sell a two bedroom home in a neighborhood filled with three bedroom homes might

notice their home’s value is not as high as that of surrounding homes, regardless of the neighborhood or how similar the home’s exterior is to surrounding homes. Age: Older homes might have character and a sense

‘What we’re trying to do is help minimize the impact of the disease, trying to make them feel better for a longer period of time until we find that next magic bullet.’
By Jane reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com
Douglas County School Board Vice President Dan Gerken resigned the week of Jan. 7, and already has stepped down from his seat. He cited growing family and work obligations. Board President John Carson said the group will begin the process of finding his replacement during the Jan. 15 board meeting. Gerken was elected to the board in 2009, and his term was set to expire in November. He did not return calls for comment, Gerken but Carson said there is no mystery surrounding his resignation from the education reform-focused board. “We depend on people being willing to take a lot of time out of their lives and work and families to do this,� he said, noting board members invest at least 20 hours a month to the unpaid post. “Dan has served selflessly in that capacity for over three years now. I greatly appreciate what he’s done for our school district.� Carson said Gerken first approached him about resigning shortly after the new year. “I tried to talk him out of (resigning), but he made his decision,� he said. Though the board has often been criticized for its fast-paced reform efforts, Carson said he doesn’t believe that was a factor in Gerken’s resignation. “If you run for office, you have to be prepared for that,� he said. “Speaking for myself, the reason I got involved in public education was to make some changes in public education that I think have been needed for a long time. I know Dan felt that way as well.� In seven years on the board, Carson said this is the fourth vacancy filled by appointment. “It’s not an infrequent occurrence,� he said. The board has 60 days to fill the empty seat. Any candidate must live in Gerken’s district — District D — which extends from Castle Pines to the southeast corner of the county. Potential school board candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resident and registered voter of the district, and have no direct or indirect interest in district contracts. All current school board members are registered Republicans, but the office is officially nonpartisan. “We’re just looking for people that are interested in improving public education, continuing to make our school district the best, and keep making it stronger,� Carson said.
