Last year I deliberated the direction of my Real Estate career and whether it would be best served staying with Kentwood City Properties or moving to a new Brokerage. I decided to move my License to Golden Triangle Realty LLC | Distinctive Properties

Distinctive Properties is in Denver’s City Center, Located in The Golden Triangle at 49 W. 11th Ave. Denver CO 80204 (Acoma & 11th) Only 2 Blocks from my home. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Distinctive Properties and all the Brokers and Staff.

My 9 years at Kentwood City Properties in LoDo was a positive experience, and I wish only the best for Kentwood City Properties, Staff and My Good Friends  Jan Nelson & Dee Chirafisi.

This neighborhood, once known as Harmon, for George Harmon who owned the 320-acre farm that originally occupied the site, offers the ultimate urban lifestyle in a lovely central location where quiet, tree-shaded streets, pocket parks, and trails beckon you to walk, jog, or bike, and nearby thoroughfares whisk you to all points of the metro area in mere minutes.

Among the neighborhood’s attractions are the renowned Cherry Creek Mall, one of Denver’s leading tourist attractions; is the best, most well kept shopping center and has the highest saturation of top-notch stores: Hermes, Saks Fifth Avenue, Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co. among others. Along with bistros, gourmet restaurants, coffee houses, boutiques, spas, salons, bookstores and gallery’s.

Capitol Hill’s borders are Colfax to Seventh and Broadway to Downing.

It was Henry C. Brown who donated land to Colorado for a State Capitol. Henry ownded substantial adjacent land and wanted to develop it. Brown built the Brown Palace Hotel. He had no relation to Margaret Tobin Brown (Molly, the unsinkable). 

It was Brown who named Broadway, referencing the Broadway of New York City. Broadway Street was the original eastern border of Denver where the diagonal streets of Downtown Denver ended.

Pre-eminent among Capitol Hill’s numerous historical residences are the 1899 William Lang designed Molly Brown House and the 1906 Crawford hill mansion at Sherman and 10th.

Overview: Lower Downtown–or LoDo, as it is commonly referred to–is located in the area where Denver was founded in 1858 by General William Larimer. Redolent with history, this neighborhood of three and four story red brick buildings was built on the site of Denver’s first Gold Rush settlement. I have been working and playing in LoDo since 1992 when the only bars were The Cruise Room, The Wazee Supper Club and Billabongs. Coors Field was just a Field of Dreams, Now the Colorado Rockies are the 2007 National League Champions. What a transformation and what a Rocktober in Denver. Today, LoDo is a vibrant 25-block urban neighborhood and tourist destination. 

Lower Downtown was a bustling commercial area during Denver’s early years. However, much of Denver’s industrial economy shifted away from Lower Downtown after World War II, and almost one-fifth of the buildings in the area were demolished in the 1960s and 1970s. In order to preserve Denver’s historic legacy, Denver City Council created the Lower Downtown Historic District in 1988. The historic district designation introduced zoning ordinances that limited building heights, preserved dozens of buildings from the wrecking ball, and instituted strict guidelines for building rehabilitation and new construction.

Today, LoDo is a  neighborhood with lots of entertainment options. Art galleries, dozens of restaurants, brewpubs, jazz clubs, and specialty retail stores line the ground floors of historic buildings. LoDo Loft residents enjoy proximity to outdoor parks, including the Cherry Creek bike path, the 16th Street Mall, The Pepsi Center, and the recently completed 30-acre Commons Park in the Central Platte Valley. Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, anchors the neighborhood at 20th and Blake Street. Wynkoop Street is home to historic Denver Union Station, the Tattered Cover bookstore, and the Wynkoop Brewing Co., Denver’s first brewpub (and the country’s largest) that opened in 1988.

 Most recently I lived in West End Lofts (In the Bridge Loft over the Alley) and walked my Labradoodle around the street’s of LoDo 4 times a day. So you could say that I do Know this Neighborhood every street and every alley.

 Blog Design and Marketing

Seems everybody’s got a Blog these days, what does a Blog mean to businesses? How can it actually bring in more business? How can it be used to promote you brand?

What is a Blog?
A Blog is simply a web log with various functionalities. This has made Blogs a favorite tool to post news and events for companies, publications, associations, the Media, etc. But a Blog also serves as a free PR mechanism to announce virtually anything not only to your customers, but to the world, including leading media sources. Blogs are monitored, tracked and even promoted by large search engines such as Google, and other specific Blog engines. They can be searched by subject matter, industry, topic … just about any viable criteria.

The Blog “Network”
Blogs also act as an excellent networking tool, letting prospects, vendors, customers, media, etc. read, link to, and even make comments on your Blog. These comments can be monitored, or even disallowed at your preference. Blogs also feature linking areas for relevant topics, as well as to products and services your business may offer. Also, the more relevant links to your Blog, and also your site, the more you improve your websites’ “value” to most search engines. It is the linking and interlinking of Blogs that serve as a critically important tool for web and search engine marketing. I offer a Blog with a Custom Header to Match Your Brand
