Joe from Denver, CO says, “This franchise has 2 locations in CO. 5 stars because you can order your cake online and customize flavors, colors, cards, and add messages for any occasion. They also have cupcakes and the 8″ cake is around $30 and 10″ is $40. The cream cheese frosting is bomb!”
Cassandra from Aurora, CO says, “I love this place. The cakes are absolutely delicious, and they always have some that you can go and pick up spur of the moment. They have mini cakes too that are more like cupcakes. Perfect for when you just need a quick sugar pick-me-up! I love the swirl and the red velvet. Pumpkin spice is excellent when it’s the season. Honestly, I haven’t had a flavor there that I didn’t like.”
Colleen from Parker, CO says, “Yummy! I am a die hard cupcake person. But I love the red velvet bundlets here! They have chocolate chips in them! Someone even got my birthday cake here- red velvet of course!”
Rarely is a movie sequel better than the original. I feared that HARP II (Home Affordable Refinance Program) would be another empty “cotton candy” promise from Washington with a lot of fluff and no substance. I am happy to see that I was wrong. Recent verified results are making me a lot more optimistic about this program to help homeowners and INVESTORS, who owe more than the property is worth and have been unable to refinance in the past.
Property owners may go to www.fanniemae.com to see if their property is eligible. At present, this program is only for conventional loans, and not for FHA or VA. If a property owner has a FHA or VA mortgage, it is worth checking to see if they qualify for a streamline refinance. FHA and VA streamline loans are characterized by relaxed standards that exhibit a lot of common sense that I though was gone from the mortgage industry. I recently witnessed an individual close two loans under the HARP II program for his primary residence and rental property. There were no upfront fees for an application or appraisal, and the customer service was first rate.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that HARP II may used for investment properties. Normally, property owners will let a rental property go into default instead of their primary residence. While I am not in favor of government funded bailouts for the fat cats, almost everyone involved in a foreclosure is damaged. Not usually mentioned are renters who are displaced and have to find a new place to live in a tight rental market. In some parts of the country it is easier to qualify for a mortgage than it is to rent a property. Hopefully, letting investors benefit from HARP II will result in fewer displaced renters.

A question was posed to me the other day if a seller should list his home now or wait until April 1st for the start of the selling season. As I have stated many times before, the selling season in Colorado is April 1st through July 31st. That is the best time to try to sell a home. It’s spring/summer, homes look great, and buyers are in the market. Normally, I would advise sellers to put their home on the market in April, but I am not suggesting that this year.
At the end of December, there were only 8800 single-family homes on the market, according to Metrolist, in all of Metro Denver and surrounding suburbs. My business partner, Gary Lohrman, who has been in the business for 33 years, says he has not seen that low of inventory since the mid-80’s. There’s no question that everyone agree that these numbers represent some historic lows. As such, I would advise potential sellers to take advantage of the market right now.
I would expect that by April or May, we would see an additional 2000-4000 homes coming into the market. If you are thinking about selling, why not beat the rush and get your home on the market before April? Granted the weather won’t be that great and the yard won’t be picture perfect, but you also won’t have potentially a few thousand more homes to compete with.
Yes, you could join the masses and put your home on the market this spring, but I think that the smart move here is to beat the competition. Again, normally we would not be having this conversation in February, but I think there is an opportunity here for sellers. If you do decide to wait until spring, start thinking now about getting your home ready for sale. What projects need to be done in the next two months to get your home showing better than everyone else? The buyers will be out and you need to be ready. If you are not sure what to do, speak with an agent today.

Justin from Westminster, CO says, “Great job as always Tiffany and Kelly, I had a great time and had the chance to meet other great yelpers! I had to leave early to a small family issue but the time I was able to spend there was phenomenal with the food, drinks and fast and friendly staff! Thanks again!”
Mike from Denver, CO says, “Wow, what a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! I think I had a cold one in my hand within about 2 minutes of getting my name tag, the servers were all super nice and very attentive. I plopped down at a table in the bar to catch some of the football game and the next thing I knew there were plates of sliders, lobster rolls, and truffle fries coming at me. All were REALLY good, well done Capital Grille! I heard a rumor that there was also some kind of soup and a salad going around but I don’t think any of it made it out to the bar area I was in. Not that I needed it, far from it! I guess the tip is if you want to try all the food at one of these things find a table by the kitchen and hit them up as they head out to the floor. Great crowd, great food & drink, great location. Thank you Tiffany N. for putting it all together, you’re the best!”
