Here are some ways you can save on your next mortgage or refinance. Today we want to tell you about a few quick and easy ways to save hundreds or even thousands of dollars when you’re refinancing or taking out a mortgage on a new home. First is a little-known option called an appraisal waiver. In a nutshell, when a lender decides to give you a loan, they want to have a good idea of what your property is worth. The typical way they do this is by sending out an expert to examine the property. This appraisal typically costs between $270 and $750. As you can probably guess, it’s you, the borrower, who is on the hook for paying this fee. The appraisal waiver, on the other hand, is simply a way to skip this fee. Instead of sending an expert to visit your home (or future home) in person, the lender uses analytics and calculations to figure out what your home is worth, without any inspection. This has been an option for a long time, but it’s jumped up significantly in popularity over the past several months because of the pandemic and subsequent desire to do business virtually. Plus, an appraisal waiver saves you the money, time, and hassle of having an appraisal expert visit. What’s more, it could even result in a higher appraised value for your home, which would mean better terms for your new mortgage. But what if the virtual appraisal comes back with a number that’s less than you hoped for? “The ZeroPlus program has been saving our friends and family thousands.” In that case, you can still request an in-person appraisal, or simply deal with another lender. You’re not bound in any way. You can see now why this is such a risk-free and easy way to shave off a few hundred dollars of fees when refinancing your home or taking out a new mortgage. The second option is the ZeroPlus program through Keller Mortgage. When you refinance or take out a new loan with Keller Mortgage, there are no lender fees, no origination fees, PLUS they contribute $1,000 toward any third-party closing costs. This program has been saving our friends, family, and customers thousands of dollars and is definitely worth looking into. If you’re looking to get started, all you have to do is download our mobile app, tap on the “More” tab at the bottom, and under “Tools” tap on Keller Mortgage. It’s that easy. If you have questions about your local market or if we can help in any way, please give us a call or send us an email today. We would love to hear from you.

Opendoor recently announced in August 2019 that they are now a fully operational mortgage lender in Texas and Arizona. Opendoor Home Loans is even available to all eligible borrowers in those states, not just those who want to buy a home from Opendoor.Zillow Home Loans became a reality in April 2019 when they changed their recently aqcuired Mortgage Lenders of America to Zillow Home Loans. In addition, real estate brokerages like Re/Max and Keller Williams are now jumping into the mortgage lending game with Motto Mortgage and Keller Mortgage.

What we are back after a much needed summer break from school! And today we’re going to touch on the pros and cons of building a new home! Coming up of Episode 18 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 18- Should I Build?Real Estate Report for South Metro Denver- The last time we recorded was the end of May so we are going to do a quick summer recap! In the attached arena there are 335 properties for sale, 242 properties went under contract, and 498 sold. The average price was $339,975. The detached market there are 1599 properties active on the market. There are 1030 properties went under contract. And 2197 properties closed and the average price was $530,000. We will use these numbers as our baseline for the fall. What’s Hot!New construction! Come on down to the South Denver Metro area and you will see a plethora of new construction neighborhoods being built. Some builders have multiple neighborhoods and some just have one. The most wrestling question is...should I build or do upgrades to my house? We want new construction so we can get what we want. There are three words I have to say… Location Location Location. When you are looking for a house you should always remember you can change everything except the location. If there is a great location in an existing home, or if you have a great location but don’t like the style anymore. Think about the cost to upgrade, especially on your existing home and the costs associated with selling. You don’t get that money back and it could go into updates. Builders also charge a premium for their design center upgrades. You will get a lot more home from an existing buyer than you will from a builder because of their upgrade costs. So if you don’t want to do anything, except landscaping, then new construction is the way to go. If you want a bit more bang for your dollars then existing and doing some sweet equity is the thing for you! Either way I can help you with your home purchase! Tip of the Day-When you go into a new builder office to look at the models, if you have a real estate agent, like me, then tell them the agents names and contact info so that you can get registered in their system properly. And they will reach out the agent. Truth or Fail-Who’s your favorite builder? One More Thing- I am so excited to tell you about a lender that partners with Keller Williams agents it’s called, Keller Mortgage, with this lender I can show you how you can save thousands on your purchase. The Zero Plus Loan does not charge an origination fee, underwriter fee, processor fee, transaction fees, rate lock fee, etc! And they also give a $1,000 credit back at closing, which will cover the cost of your Appraisal. It does sound too good to be true and there is one catch… you knew it there had to be a catch…. It is exclusive to Keller Williams transactions. If you are in Colorado I can send you the loan application and you can get started right away. If you are outside of Colorado I can get you paired up with a KW agent so you can utilize this awesome lending program. Visit kellermortgage.com, Keller Mortgage NMLS ID #140234.

Coming up of Episode 17 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 17- Lots of Updates!Real Estate Report for South Metro Denver- As I am recording this podcast it is May 21st and it is snowing outside. Yes snowing! We can always expect to expect the unexpected with Denver weather and that is true again with the market. I last reported that attached properties were at one of the lowest weeks since starting this podcast, 217 active properties on the market, would you believe that this week we are at one of the highest weeks with the most attached properties on the market, 261 active properties. I am seeing price reductions, higher days on market, and more choices for buyers in the attached market.And holy snow blizzard for detached properties. We have the most properties on the market right now for detached properties than we have for months. There are so many reasons that can attribute to the rise in properties but the bottom line is if you are thinking about buying it’s a great time to have lots of choices and not a lot of competition. What’s Hot!Episode 16- Am I Famous by Association. Not really, although I have seen my LinkedIn searches increase. Episode 15- Quartz Countertops. Yes I still love quartz countertops but I recently took a visit to a stone yard and if you are willing to spend A LOT of money on granite there are some really beautiful options! So I think I am realizing I don’t like cheap granite. Episode 12- Custom Dog Crates. We did it. Kinda. I found some dog crates that got the job done on Overstock. So I picked them up and I do have to say they look great in our family room and our two dogs seem pretty happy in there. Dogs after all are den dwelling animals. Episode 8. Fiddle Fig Leaf. I had two, now I have one. One died. The other is doing surprisingly well. I still say go for it!Episode 7. Black Metals. After that episode, I switched out our current faucet for a black one and I love it. Go for it. It’s little cost for big impact.Episode 6. Sparking Joy. Well my son is not happy with me. But his room has been Marie Kondoed. Our family room has. And the mudroom. That’s as far as I have gotten. It feels good. I’ll keep going, you should too. Episode 5. Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Bars. This is the most exciting update! There are in the grocery stores in South Metro and they are delicious! Run to the grocery store grab a box and enjoy! They taste just as good and take you back to your time at the parks! Tip of the Day-There are still 30something days left in spring. It’s not too late to get after your spring cleaning. Go back, relisten to these podcasts and pick a thing or two to do. Don’t be scared to make a quick change… you can always change it back.

Episode 16- Am I Famous by Association?My real estate signs are famous… Does that make me famous? Coming up of Episode 16 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 16- Am I Famous by Association?Real Estate Report for South Metro Denver- Attached properties are at one of the lowest weeks since starting this podcast, 217 active properties on the market, but in neighborhoods or condo complexes there are quite a few properties on the market. So if you can identify a few communities you would like to live you could have a lot of choices when hunting for your next home! The same is true for detached properties. The market is at an all time low but if you want to live in Castle Rock or Parker you have the most options of homes, price points, and styles for your purchase! What’s Hot!I’m not generally a bragger but this week what’s hot is my real estate signs that go in front yards! They are called yard signs. It was brought to my attention yesterday that someone saw one of my signs featured in an online article, “These funny real estate signs might not sell houses but they sure make us laugh” Now I do think at times I am pretty funny but when I first read the title of the article I didn’t love it because my signs while whitty I thought would help sell my listings, or get showings and I took a ton of time choosing the right quotes for each sign. Let me paint the picture for you. I have 6 signs and each have a different quote, They are: This is your happily ever after. You can stop looking… I’m the one. Whoever said you couldn’t buy happiness never owned this home. Home is not a place… it’s a feeling. I’m so happy we ended up here. And the star of the article The only problem with your current home is… it’s not this one. When I searched for the article I new it was that quote b/c I saw a picture but I didn’t know what it would make someone laugh it would end up in an article, not to mention, being in this article was a complete surprise. So I found the article and started reading and some of these signs I have read before, Free pizza with home purchase. A lady who’s name is Dortia and she is holding a bag of Doritos. I was getting really worried what they were going to stay about my sign. I finally found it…. They called it “Convincing. Here is a strategy that might actually convince people to take a look inside this house! There are some folks out there who enjoy looking through the real estate ads and checking out houses for sale even if they already have a house. Maybe they’re not 100% satisfied with their current abode and are always half looking for something better. For those people, this sign could be all the temptation they need to throw caution to the wind and start packing.” Relief. I will take those accolades for the sign! I’ll link the article so you can see it in the show notes. http://admin.universityfox.com/stories/funny-real-estate-signs-might-not-sell-houses-make-us-laugh/ Tip of the Day-This tip of the day is for when you are doing home renovations or looking to buy a house. So often you would like to know the size of a room, door, or window. Grab the app called Tape Measure. You point your phone at one end of a room and then measure to the other end and there you have it. The size of a wall! It’s great! Truth or Fail-What is one thing you have learned the most since starting real estate? Refrigerator One More Thing- If you or someone you know would like to have one of my world f
All hail the new queen Quartz Countertops! Granite is out and Quartz is in! Coming up of Episode 15 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 15- Quartz CountertopsReal Estate Report for South Metro Denver- Options is the word for week. There are 3 attached properties priced under $200k! And 41 properties priced under $300k! In total there are 239 active attached properties on the market. The story is not quite the same for the detached properties there at only 33 properties price from 300-400k, which still tends to be the most popular buying bracket. And a total 1155 active properties on the market. But I do have some good news. Generally, Easter weekend is a very slow weekend because buyers take the weekend off so there is less competition for getting offers accepted. What’s Hot!For years and years Granite was king as the update homeowners and buyers alike wanted to see in their kitchens. Everyone oowed and ahhed. And over the last few years I yawned. I am so tired of granite and seeing it in homes and marketed as a high end feature. Fabricators have figured out a way to make granite thinner and keep the cost down so lots of people can afford it. Which don’t get me wrong, it’s better than travertine. But I’m a little tired of it. Enter in the new queen… quartz. Whenever people ask me what to put in I always will say anything but granite and quartz is just a little bit more than granite and has such a unique look, I swoon. Last year it was named most popular countertop…. You know that means, I’m going to get sick of it soon too!Tip of the Day-Don’t put in granite.Truth or Fail-What’s the worst excuse you have ever heard for a buyer backing out of a contract?One More Thing- When buying a house first a buyer does an inspection, then once that’s resolved the buyer pays for an appraisal, at this point you are 2 ½-3 weeks into a transaction. With Keller Mortgage and the Zero Plus Program they give $1000 for third party fees i.e. the appraisal since it’s not on the buyers dime they order the appraisal immediately. LIke my buyer who went under contract on Monday had an inspection on Thursday and the appraiser came to the property on Saturday.

Episode 14- Two toned CabinetsNot one color but two colors for kitchen cabinets? Yep! Coming up of Episode 14 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 14- Two Toned CabientsReal Estate Report for South Metro Denver- It’s the end of the 1st quarter of 2019 and I am going to do a quick recap of total sales for the entire Denver Metro area. From Jan to March there were 6,198 active properties on the market, 7,819 properties under contract, and 13,125 properties closed. The average closed price was $458,500 and the average days on market was 52. We are still in a seller’s market and properties that are priced right are going under contract!What’s Hot!Two toned kitchen cabinets! I was showing a house yesterday and my clients commented on the kitchen and that it had two colors on the upper and lower cabinets. It’s totally popular right now to have a dark cabinet on the bottom and then a light color on the top. If you have an island it is commonly the color of the lower cabinets. The house that we were looking at, and that they are buying congrats guys! Had a really really pretty dark blue lower cabinet that had a bit of black in it and white upper cabinets. The only thing I would add, which I am sure these clients could and quite possibly would add are some floating shelves! Tip of the Day-If your cabinets are olders and maybe the builder oak cabinets go ahead and give them a coat of paint or two different colors of paint. The trick is to sand the heck out of the cabinets first and use a really good primer and paint. We painted our cabinets when we purchased our current house in 2014 and they still look great thanks to Benjamin Moore Advance Paint. No this isn’t an ad it really is just amazing paint and I want you to know about it! Truth or Fail-What’s the best paint for landlords and house flippers?One More Thing- So I have a quick success story for Keller Mortgage. A buyer recently closed on a property and save upwards of $5000. Because the buyer was saving so much money they were able to buy down their already competitive interest rate not once but twice! If you would like to learn more about Zero Plus mortgage reach out to me and I can give you all the details about saving money!

Episode 12- Custom Dog Crates!Make your furry friend’s dog kennel an eye pleasing piece of furniture instead of big piece of plastic! Coming up of Episode 12 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 12- Custom Dog Crates!7 Day Real Estate Report for South Metro Denver- The boundaries for these stats are Arapahoe Rd. Santa Fe at an angle to include Roxbourgh. The south is to include Castle Rock, Franktown, and Elizabeth. Then on the east we go up through the country to include Parker and South Aurora. Attached Properties. The original list price to sold price for the last 30 days was 98.61%.

And the median sale price was $512,075 and the average days on market was 35 days. 199 properties went UC in the last 7 days. 157 sold. What’s Hot!Dog crates that are no longer a big piece of plastic or metal taking up precious space in your home. You can go one of two ways… build it yourself or order it custom. These crates are all wood, painted or stained to a color that works for you. Some even have barn doors and drawers for storage on top. Now we have two furry friends, Canoe and Seven and they love their kennel, dogs are den dwelling animals after all and some of these kennels are large enough for two dogs and have a divider in the middle so they each have their own space. I am loving it! Most commonly I have seen it as an entertainment center or a side table. This is one piece of furniture that is our my short list of additions to our house. Mr. Fraser do you want to build it or buy it? Tip of the Day-When you are selling your house and you have a furry friend it’s really important to remove all the toys, beds, and food and water bowls. The animal can stay in the home if it is contained and not in the way of the people that are visiting. Really the last thing that buyers want is an animal rushing up to them and causing delay in getting into the home. So please put your animals in a kennel or outdoor in an animal run. If you are a buyer and can’t purchase a home with animals b/c of allergies let your agent know so they can investigate prior to looking at homes. Truth or Fail-What’s the most embarrassing thing you have walked in on during a showing a home?One More Thing- I am so excited to tell you about a lender that partners with Keller Williams agents it’s called, Keller Mortgage, with this lender I can show you how you can save thousands on your purchase. The Zero Plus Loan does not charge an origination fee, underwriter fee, processor fee, transaction fees, rate lock fee, etc!

Episode 11- Gas Lanterns?!?My mind is spinning! How can Colorado incorporate gas lanterns to our home style? Coming up of Episode 11 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 11- Gas Lanterns!7 Day Real Estate Report for South Metro Denver- The boundaries for these stats are Arapahoe Rd. Santa Fe at an angle to include Roxbourgh. The south is to include Castle Rock, Franktown, and Elizabeth. Then on the east we go up through the country to include Parker and South Aurora. -207 Attached Properties on the market. And would you believe it the lowest price property is 720 sq ft and $153k! 1/1 had new carpet and fresh paint! No laundry but for $153k in Denver Metro you can’t expect laundry. The most expensive is a rare find on the Inverness Golf Course it’s a little over $1 million, 4300 finished sqft, ⅗ and built in 2008. If golf club life appeals to you you can get a membership to Inverness Golf Club for $1250 Initiation Fee and yearly dues ranging from $5100-$8000 and there are far too many things to list that is included. 25 properties sold in the last 7 days and the median price was $321,500 and the median size was 2/2 and 1320 sqft. -927 Detached Properties on the market.

No changes with the most expensive home on the market, go back to Episode 1 and 2 to get a good description of them!97 properties sold in the last 7 days and the median price was $500k and the median size was 4/3 and 3262 total sqft. What’s Hot!I was in New Orleans last week for a conference and while I was there we did some sightseeing and a walking tour or two. My mouth drooled over the gas lanterns on what felted like almost every home. The flame burning 24 hours a day, I am in love! I should also disclose that in general I love southern architecture probably from my time I spend in Hilton Head on a summer internship and also visiting my sister when she was at college at the University of Alabama with Big Al. There are just so many elements to the homes that I love. But by far my favorite is the gas light! One morning we were walking around waiting for a table for breakfast and across the street I saw the Holy Grail. Gas Lanterns all lined up. Could it be? It was… A shop called Bevolo and they sold Gas Lanterns and guess what they ship! And guess what else, the lanterns start at $600… they go up to $3000 but they start at $600! I talked to the salesperson for a minute and all I have to do is get a plumber to run a gas line to my lantern location… Oh is it that easy… and I bet really cheap too? Find them @bevolo on InstagramTip of the Day-If you also decide that you want to add a gas lantern to your home do it the right way and get a professional to do the work. Gas and electric are both categories in homes sales we don’t like to mess with, you know because of death and fire. It is also a really great idea to get HOA approval if you live in a covenant community. It would really stick if you went to all the trouble to put in a drool worthy lamp and then the HOA came and said take it down you didn’t ask first. And yes they can do that, even if it looks amazing! That’s our tip of the day. Truth or Fail-What’s one thing you swoon over when showing a home?One More Thing- I am so excited to tell you about a lender that partners with Keller Williams agents it’s called, Keller Mortgage, with this lende

It is and it has me all kinds of happy. It makes me want to cover up my Revere Pewter walls and put a geometric shape or big blue whales in my bathroom! I found some websites that are selling amazing wallpaper designs and honestly I can’t believe wallpaper ever went out of style. I think the designs are amazing now bc of the way graphic designs can do some many amazing things with computer design. My mom will be relieved bc now she doesn’t need to take down her “I hate laundry” wallpaper that went up in her laundry room in 1978. You think I’m joking…. I’m not. It’s still there. That’s what’s hot.Tip of the Day-Try peel and stick wallpaper! It goes on super easy, as long as you keep the paper lined up, there is no glue mess and it comes off really easy too. Homeowners spark some emotion in a room with a surprise and put up some wallpaper! Renters you don’t need to feel left out either… since peel and stick wallpaper goes up and comes down so easy enjoy the time you have in your rental and make an amazing room! Truth or Fail-If you were the queen of real estate what would your number 1 rule be? One More Thing- I am so excited to tell you about a lender that partners with Keller Williams agents it’s called, Keller Mortgage, with this lender I can show you how you can save thousands on your purchase. Keller Mortgage does not charge an origination fee, underwriter fee, processor fee, transaction fees, rate lock fee, etc! And they also give a $1,000 credit back at closing, which will cover the cost of your Appraisal. It does sound too good to be true and there is one catch… you knew it there had to be a catch…. You have to work with a Keller Williams agent, like me! Or buy a Keller Williams listing. If you are in Colorado I can send you the loan application and you can get started right away. If you are outside of Colorado I can get you paired up with a KW agent so you can utilize this awesome lending program.

Today I want to talk about technology and all of our new advancements at MacKenzie Realty. Click here to check out our app! I’m very excited about the new technology we have to offer. So, today, I’d like to highlight some of these tools, which will help me better serve you as an agent and help you find your future home. I want to start by talking about our new app. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, I highly recommend that you do. Whether you’re looking to buy a new home or you just want to stay up-to-speed on home values, it’s awesome. Within the app, there are a variety of ways you can search for homes, such as by the number of bedrooms or bathrooms, by price, or by area. We would love for you to try it out and give us some feedback. One of the things we noticed among people using other apps is that they became frustrated by the amount of inaccurate information they contained. For this reason, we are working extremely hard to provide up-to-the-minute information for you about our properties. “Whether you’re looking to buy a new home or if you just want to stay up-to-speed on home values, our app is awesome.” Even if you’re not currently looking, this app will show you valuable information, like what your neighbors’ homes are selling for. It can also provide market snapshots to you. Another thing that I am super excited to share is that we now have Keller Mortgage available to our Idaho clients. This mortgage, only available through Keller Williams agents, offers a ZeroPlus loan, helping save people thousands of dollars on a purchase or refinance. When you download the app, you can submit a loan application through it and get an estimate of what it will cost you to refinance or buy a new home with Keller Mortgage. If you have any additional questions about our new app or Keller Mortgage or if you’re interested in buying or selling, please feel free to reach out to us. We look forward to speaking with you soon.
