Links for Relocating to Denver
I know that when you’re relocating to Denver, you’ll
want someone to take care of the details for you. Here are
some of the steps I'll take to find your perfect home:
- Determine Your Wants and Needs
This is the single most important step. By asking you a series of questions
I'll have a better idea of what you're looking for. My goal is to
not waste your time by looking at properties that aren't in your
price range or homes that don't meet your needs. However, you should
understand that you may not know what you actually need till you
go through the process of actually looking at homes and ruling out
the ones you thought you'd like but actually don't once you've seen
them. Throughout the buying process I will maintain your confidentiality
and represent your best interests.
- Help You Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage
This step will show you how much you can afford.
This is accomplished by talking with a lender and establishing
what monthly payments you'll be comfortable with. That's
a very important factor to consider in buying a home.
- Home Shopping
We'll use every available method to locate a property that matches
your search parameters. This will include properties offered through
other real estate companies, as well as unlisted properties. I'll
tell you everything I know about the property that may affect your
decision. When we find the home that meets your criteria, I'll help
you in writing an offer and act as a liaison between you and the
seller. In Colorado purchasing real estate by using an agent is an "arms
length" transaction where you'll be dealing with the seller
through your own Exclusive Buyer’s Agent who deals with the
seller's agent. The seller's agent always has the seller's best interests
at heart, just as your own Buyer's Agent has your best interests
at heart.

Relocating with Your Pet
Prepare for the move by checking with your veterinarian at least 3 weeks
before moving for any medication or pre-move treatment needs, and possibly
tranquilization for the move. Ask about a referral to a vet in your new
area, and be sure to get your pet’s medical records to take along.
There are two ways to move your pet, either with you in your
car, or by air. If you’re traveling by car, your pet
will need food and water, and of course, a travel cage. Many
motels don’t allow pets, so be sure to ask when you make
reservations. Plan for stops along the way for your pet, and
don’t forget newspaper and paper towels for cleanup,
and disposable litter trays for the motel.
If you plan to fly your pet to your new destination, call
the airline you plan to use to ask about their policy for shipping
pets, or check their website for guidelines.
When you arrive at your destination, help your pet adjust
to the new surroundings. Cats often hide under the furniture
for several days before they feel comfortable in their new
home. You may want to confine them to one room and make their
litter trays and food and water dishes readily available. Dogs
may revert to pre-house trained behavior. Try to take your
pooch for a walk around the neighborhood. Try to leave familiar
things around for pets till they feel at home. Try laundry,
which has a familiar odor.
Here are a few links to help make relocating your pet to
Denver as stress-free as possible.

tells about her experience.
Living in another state, we were very attracted to technical services that Judith was willing to offer, including her promise to preview and photograph houses and having the photos online for me to view within hours, which she did. The hard work, great service and personal attention that Judith showed us in the looking process gave me enough confidence to sign a contract on a house without seeing it for myself. When Judith finally found the perfect Denver home for our family, in the price range that we were looking for, she wasted no time helping us through the contracting procedures. I would recommend Judith for any Denver buyer in any special situation.
