Dear Mile,

As a member of my monthly CAP (Client Appreciation Program), it's my pleasure to provide helpful services and information to you, my best clients and friends.   One of my trusted referrals is Mike Mustain of Johnson Moving and Storage.  He can be reached at mmustain@johnson-united.com and 303.596.3280   I have known Mike for about 15 years now, and know him as a person of integrity who provides uncompromising support of clients. I am thrilled to refer him for your moving and storage needs.   Mike was generous to share with me some coupons that are part of Johnson's monthly specials.  Those coupons are shown below and are also shown in http://www.MileHighReferrals.com.   As these are monthly specials, I will update them and send them to you on a monthly basis.  I realize you might not be moving, but you likely know someone who is!  After all, there are about 30,000 homes on the Denver Metro Market at any given time, so it's likely you know someone is thinking about moving and could use these coupons!   And if you know someone who is looking to move, I also know a great REALTOR® who will provide them outstanding support too!  Please let me know their name and business contact information and I will follow up with them. I promise to take great care of them!   Enjoy! And thanks for making my business "move ahead of the competition" through the generosity of your referrals!   Kind regards,   Michael     Oh, by the way™ ,  if you know of someone who is thinking of buying or selling a home and who would appreciate the kind of service I offer, I'd love to help them.  So, as these people come to mind, please give me a call with their name and business number.  I'll be happy to follow up and tend to their needs.

The Daily Dirt - Online Referral Database is Here! I Want To Share Your Referrals!

Issue 08-03.01 March 2008 Need a Professional Referral? MileHighReferrals.com is Here!   If you have one to give, contact me here. Dear Mile,   Need a Professional Referral?  Visit the site exclusive to my clients!   For more information, please click to www.MileHighReferrals.com or www.MileHighHomeHunter.com      As you may guess, I receive many requests from friends and associates for referrals to professional trades and services - everything from painters to attorneys.  Because I receive such a large number of requests, and because I operate my own business by referral, I have decided to commit some time and resources to compiling a Referral Directory. This referral directory will go live March 1, 2008, listing the finest individuals and businesses serving our community.   With this in mind, I want your input!    Chances are you know contractors, home repair persons, CPAs, doctors, attorneys, window cleaners, auto mechanics, hair stylists, etc., whose services have been exceptional and extremely valuable to you and your family.  Speaking of people who do an excellent job, perhaps you provide a service or product that you would like us to include in this Directory? This Directory will be distributed to all clients, friends and associates, as well as to the 100,000 annual visitors (and growing) to my site.       I will also post this Directory online as well.  As you may be aware, my websites receive about 10,000 visitors per month.  The website where these referrals will be posted, www.MileHighReferrals.com,is also linked to my main site, www.MileHighHomeHunter.com, which is in the top 1% of websites globally, ranked 593,602 (as of 2/17/08) out of about 125 million websites worldwide.   Additionally, each month, I will feature a particular referral in my monthly, mailed newsletter and also in my electronic eNewsletter (which gets posted to my blog).  Between the two of those, there is the potential for up to 2,000 additional, monthly impressions.   The cost? Nothing to you. Nothing to the referred business.    The only cost is the investment of providing exceptional service to my client community.  The referral database will be continually reviewed to ensure quality; those failing to meet standards of exceptional service worthy of a referral will be removed promptly. You can think about it as being like one of those troubleshooter websites you see on TV, but more personal because you think highly enough of them to refer them to others in our community.    This Directory will list the most reliable and professional people.  I look forward to your input and plan to publish the Referral Directory to the website name: www.MileHighReferrals.com.  We know it will be of great value to you and all our friends and clients.    Once again, I thank you for your business in the past, and look forward to providing you and the people you refer to us with the highest quality of service in the purchase or sale of real estate.   As always, whenever YOU are ready, I am here Bringing The World Home To You™   And, if you know of someone that is looking to buy or sell, I am NEVER too busy for any of your referrals.   Kind regards and happy "Home Hunting",    Michael Clarkson RE/MAX Alliance 303.403.2641 MJ@MileHighHomeHunter.com   On the web: www.MileHighHomeHunter.com www.MileHighForeclosure.com www.MileHighMLS.com   Payment Calculators Apply for a Loan - Contact Betsy Burns   Apply for a Loan - Contact Brian Crowder Do YOU Need a Reliable Referral?

The Daily Dirt - Real Estate News Update from Michael Clarkson - Housing Prices Drop Nationally

Issue 08-02.26 February 2008 Home Prices Drop to 20-Year Low   See the S&P / Case-Schiller Study Dear Mile, I saw this headline this morning on the news. I found myself dumbstruck at the lack of depth with which the reporters treated this story.    I mean, a home is only the super majority portion of any households' investment portfolio. So, doesn't it make sense to treat the story with more depth and context?     My sense of duty to educate about real estate compelled me to write this entry to my blog today, based on that SAME research quoted today.   Home Prices Drop to 20-Year Low!   For more information, please click to www.MileHighMLS.com   You likely heard the headline today: "Home Prices Drop to 20-year Low!" It's been all over the news and the internet.  If you read the headlines, those of you from my generation would be reminded of a skit that Sean Penn did after the 1987 Stock Market Crash on Saturday Night Live.   In that skit, Sean - in character - was an inebriated floor trader being interviewed on a parody of Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser.  Presumably, insulated from that day's trading troubles with copious amounts of intoxicants, a "mellowed" Penn - in character - advised getting out of stocks and into "canned goods and shotguns", a la survivalists, as a pre-cursor to an impending societal breakdown.  Though funny, societal breakdown didn't happen.   But is today's news really that bad?  No. Far from it. (Ironically, this news and that skit would be good for those Realtors® who had cabin listings in the mountains - far from civilization.  So, SOME good would come of that!)   While there is a valid concern about interest rate adjustments, overextended borrowers and foreclosure impacts on the remaining property values, the real estate markets - when taken in a broader context - are doing quite well, though suffering a short-term supply-demand misalignment.   Well, today's report from the S&P/Case-Schiller Index of Home Price Indices would likely be a comparable situation to that dreadful day in 1987 and an equally powerful source of fodder for another SNL send-up.  However, it is also a PHENOMENAL example of something all professionals in this business state, but rarely provide data to support: "That all Real Estate is local."   So, let me discuss today's headlines in two contexts: The local market - focusing on Denver The historical return on real estate - anywhere in the USA. The Denver Market   The data - the S&P/Case-Schiller Index of Home Price Indices - shows just how local real estate markets are.  So, let's look into it more.   Though the overall market is down 8.9% (see article here), the local markets show many different stories.  In the inimitable words of Secret Agent Maxwell Smart, "Would you believe???"   Though the data is national in scope, permit me to focus on Denver for the benefit of my clients.   Would you believe that Denver is: In the top 1/3 (~35%) of the 20 major markets for 2007? In the bottom 20% for the period from 2000 - 2007? That the trend from the bottom 20% to the TOP 1/3 is positive news for Denver?   Let's take a look at the data: the S&P/Case-Schiller Index of Home Price Indices show that the coasts are hurting - a lot.    S&P Case Schiller Index of Home Price Indices City 1 Year Chg Rank Charlotte - NC 2.3% 1 Portland - OR 1.2% 2 Seattle - WA 0.5% 3 Dallas - TX -2.4% 4 Boston -3.4% 5 Atlanta - GA -3.4% 6 Denver -4.5% 7 Chicago -4.5% 8 New York -5.6% 9 Cleveland - OH -6.3% 10 Minneapolis - MN -8.0% 11 Washington -9.4% 12 San Francisco -10.8% 13 Tampa - FL -13.3% 14 Detroit - MI -13.6% 15 Los Angeles -13.7% 16 San Diego -15.0% 17 Phoenix - AZ -15.3% 18 Las Vegas -15.3% 19
