Choosing the right real estate agent begins with lots of questions new to the area who has years of experience in the industry or the newbie with a reputation for working hard on behalf of her clients.

CONTRIBUTING WRITERS Luanne Kadlub Tom Kalinski Duane Duggan

•

Do you have a team or do you work alone? If the agent has a team, who will you be working with?

•

What is your schedule? Not all agents work around the clock, or even full time.

Does their schedule mesh with yours?

•

Do you have any vacations planned? Does the agent have a backup plan in case he or she takes a trip and issues arise or the closing is rescheduled while he/she is out of town?

AT HOME COLORADO

With so many real estate agents from which to choose when you’re ready to sell or buy a home, where do you begin in finding the right one for you?

By Luanne Kadlub At Home Colorado Like many real estate agents, John Valencia, broker associate/partner with Sears Real Estate in Greeley, switched careers when life threw him a curve ball. He celebrates his 35th year in real estate in June.

“I used to be in the seafood business and owned three retail stores in Greeley, Fort Collins and Boulder. Then I had a life change of events and landed in real estate,” he said.

And now he has more company than he ever imagined, with new real estate agents coming onboard every day.

“I think that when you decide to enter into this business, you need to start out knowing that this is a full-time career and get the training, education and maintain your desire to work full time. This is not a part-time business if you want long-term results.”

His advice to newcomers? “Be of the mindset that you are here to help all people, and your rewards will make you a better person.”

A red-hot real estate market like Northern Colorado with the median price of homes starting at $350,000 on up to $500,000 or, in the case of Boulder, at $1.2 million, makes getting into real estate attractive when commissions are in the five digits and up.

So it’s no wonder that real estate is a big draw.

The Loveland-Berthoud Association of Realtors, for example, reports that they receive one or more applications for membership everyday and is now up to 490 members. The Greeley Area Realtor Association has 464

members, Estes Valley Board of Realtors has 66 and Fort Collins has 1,221.

And that’s just the number of agents who choose to join the Boards of Realtors. Not all do.

So the number of working agents could be much higher.

With so many real estate agents from which to choose when you’re ready to sell or buy a home, where do you begin in finding the right one for you?

First, do your due diligence. If you can, ask friends and family for referrals. Regardless of how you come up with prospects, plan to interview at least three potential candidates. Be sure to ask them for names and numbers of clients they’ve worked with and take the time to actually call them to find out what their experiences working with the agent was like.

Many people, however, only talk to one, maybe two agents before going forward, according to Realtor.com.

Start with these questions: •

•

How long have you been in real estate? Those with one or two years of experience could be a concern, but not always, according to Realtor.com. Check out their backgrounds: Are they active in the community?

How many closings have they had?

How long have you lived in this area? An agent who has been in the area for some time will usually have important connections, but don’t overlook the agent

If you’re selling your home, all of the above questions apply.

Valencia suggests also asking: • Should I get an appraisal first?

• Should I have my home pre-inspected?

• Should I do a radon test in advance?

• What about offering a home warranty with the sale?

• Do you know how to handle appraisal gap amendments?

• How will you do showings with COVID-19 restrictions?

• Will you prepare a net sellers settlement statement for me now?

Red flags to watch out for, Valencia said, might include an agent who: • Hasn’t prepared information on your home in advance of your meeting.

• Does all of the talking, including how great they are.

• Does not ask questions about repairs or past problems with your home.

The nonprofit economic group Heartland Forward looked at economic performance measured by metrics for job growth, average annual earnings, gross domestic product (GDP) gains, and total jobs at new businesses.

ranking comes from a combination of factors. The foothills community is home to a leading university, offers an entrepreneurial culture, sits in a beautiful setting close to a major city, and provides easy access to outdoor recreation. The resulting lifestyle makes Boulder an appealing location for skilled workers and the firms who employ them.

Help for seniors with property taxes Property assessment notices were mailed on May 1 and will arrive in every property owner’s mailbox very soon, making

BY DUANE property taxes DUGGAN top of mind.

Realtor and Author A notice of RE/MAX of Boulder assessment is not the property tax bill. The assessor is required by law to reassess values every two years.

Property values have risen substantially in Boulder County and this can put upward pressure on taxes. This tax burden is especially noticed by seniors on fixed incomes who are trying to stay in their home.

As a reminder, property taxes may be paid in one full payment by April 30, or in two equal payments. If made in two payments, the first half payment was due by March 1. The second half payment is due by June 15.

If you have a mortgage loan and your mortgage lender is escrowing for taxes, the lender will be paying your taxes. If not, be sure to pay attention to the due dates.

Seniors have four opportunities in Colorado and Boulder County available to ease the burden of their property tax payments.

Senior Tax Deferral Program First is the senior tax deferral program. This is a program offered by the State of Colorado that enables you to postpone the payment of your property taxes until you sell the property, or even until your death when your estate can deal with it. Of

deferral/application-request.

To be ready to get the application filled out, have the following ready: • Your full name • If the property is held in a trust, the name of the trust • Property address • Your date of birth • Phone number • Name of your mortgage company (if applicable) • Approximate balance on your mortgage • Whether or not you have a reverse mortgage

On May 1, every property owner in Boulder County can expect to receive a notice for the newly assessed value of their property. (Photo: Pexels).

course, there is a bit of a catch.

Interest is applied and accrues on the deferred amount. The interest rate is usually reasonable, but it is different from year to year. Also, there are eligibility requirements, so you will need to fill out an application for approval through the Boulder County Treasurer’s office. The Treasurer’s Office sends the application to the State of Colorado for approval. If approved, you have the option of deferring either the entire amount of your taxes or half of the taxes.

Seniors can use this benefit to simply help their annual cash flow with the money that would have gone to taxes to be used for any other desired purpose.

receive income from the property by renting it out as it must be your primary residence, but you can maintain a home office. If the property is owned a trust, you must be the trustee and beneficiary of the trust. Lastly, if you have a reverse mortgage, you likely will not be able to defer your taxes as the lender is required submit a subordination agreement with the application.

Eligibility requirements for application To apply, you must be 65 years old on or before January 1 of the year you are applying. You cannot

Start your application You can follow this link to start your application: bouldercounty.org/property-andland/treasurer/taxes/property-tax-

Timing The deadline for application delivery to the Treasurer’s Office is March 26 for the 2021 tax year. If you want to defer next year, start thinking about it in January and get your application in.

Senior Homestead Exemption (Discounted property tax program for seniors) In 2000, Colorado voters approved a property tax exemption for qualified seniors (also known as the Senior Homestead Exemption) as a state constitutional amendment. The Colorado legislature makes a determination each year to see if the state budget allows for this discounted property tax program for seniors. Since 2000, there have only been a few years when the program was suspended due to budget shortfalls.

The property tax exemption does not happen automatically for eligible seniors. First of all, a senior needs to know about the program, then must apply for it through their county assessor’s website. The requirements for eligibility are quite simple: The senior must be 65 years old

by January 1 of the year of the application.

The senior needs to be the CONTINUED - See Page 18

LAWN AND GARDEN

Landscape plants for wildfire prone areas ladder fuel to move fire into treetops

By Sharon Bokan, Colorado State University Extension Boulder County Selecting plant materials for your landscaping can be challenging but if you live in a wildfire urban interface area (WUI), it can be even more challenging. Not only do you have to pick plants that you like but you also need to be concerned about how resistant they are to fire and where you place them. Anyone who lives in the mountains, foothills, plains or whose property abuts such a property should consider their landscaping as a potential fire hazard.

Landscaping needs to fit into the wildfire defensible zones model – Zone 1 from the building out 5’ no combustible materials, Zone 2 from 5’ to 30’ managed landscaping, Zone 3 from 30’ out managed plants. The plants in this article would work well from Zones 2 and 3.

When you are considering plants for your landscape, consider the following aspects.

Does the plant’s leaves and stems contain a lot of waxes, oils, and resins? Be careful where you plant these: • •

Conifers Native sages

What is the leaf moisture content?

• Keeping plants well-watered (based on their requirements) can make them more

Does the plant shed bark?

• Shedding bark can start a plant on fire Does the plant produce many stems and small twigs and hold on to its leaves over winter?

• Many small stems and twigs and leaves left on or around the plant, the higher the fire hazard

fire resistant.

•

Deciduous plants tend to have more moisture in their leaves than conifers

Does the plant have an open-growth structure or a dense growth structure?

•

The tighter the growth habit, the more fire prone it is

How fast does the plant grow?

Fast growth can mean more material to burn and more pruning to keep them managed How tall will the plant grow?

• A taller plant can act as a

Does the plant resprout after a fire? Is it fire adapted?

Fire resistant landscaping does not mean that they are moonscapes, or you can’t have any plants that aren’t fire resistant. It means that you need to be careful where you place the non-fire-resistant plants on your landscape. No plants should be placed within the first 5’ from a building. Place plants singly and not in large groups or place them away from trees so they aren’t ladder fuels or place in an area with non-combustible materials (i.e. rocks) around them.

Instead of using organic mulches (bark chips) use materials such as pea gravel to maintain soil moisture. Replace weedy or grassy areas with fire resistant ground cover plants (do not use low growing junipers). The landscape can be designed for both fireresistance and beauty.

Connect to the Best Colorado Has to Offer Koelbel builds new homes at Autrey Reservoir in Superior

N

estled amid sweeping mountain and waterfront views, something exciting is being built on the shores of Autrey Reservoir in Superior.

Koelbel Urban Homes, a division of Koelbel and Company, is creating a new community named Montmere at Autrey Shores.

The community was designed to have something to offer everyone.

The name ‘Montmere’ is a composition of the French words for mountain and lake — both of which provide the stunning backdrop for the community.

Montmere is located on seven acres of land next to Autrey Reservoir and will feature 94 new homes across 20 buildings.

A connected community The perfect ‘base camp’ for those who enjoy both city and 10

doesn’t require a car.

When the mood for a night out strikes, Flatiron Crossing is just minutes away and can be easily reached on foot. Once there, visitors can choose from a myriad of options for drinking, dining, shopping, and entertainment.

Residents will also have access to walking trails around the reservoir as well as to the Town of Superior’s recreation centers and 596 acres of green space. Furry friends even have their own place for fun — Autrey dog park.

With seven floor plans ranging from 1,600 to 2,700 square feet, the available options mean anyone can find exactly what they’re looking for. (Rendering: Koelbel).

mountain life, Montmere is strategically placed between Denver and Boulder in the town of Superior. It is also just minutes from large employment centers like Interlocken, Baseline and Louisville Tech Center, keeping

homeowners connected to surrounding towns while offering the peace, quiet and privacy of living farther from the hustle and bustle of the city. The nearest store lies just 100 yards outside of the community for easy shopping that

other enticing scenery. Aiming to maximize residents’ enjoyment of the outdoor space, Koelbel has designed each home with a rooftop deck and will give buyers the option to install an additional kitchen up there, putting dramatic scenery on the menu for every meal.

With seven floor plans ranging from 1,600 to 2,700 square feet, the available options mean anyone can find exactly what they’re looking for, no matter the size of their family or reason for moving which also makes the homes perfect for multigenerational living. All homes are being built with attached two or three car garages, creating ample parking space and the option for additional storage.

The homes were designed with spacious, open layouts and include ‘flex spaces’ — areas without a designated purpose — that allow owners to personalize their homes and how they use them. Thoughtful, top-of-the-line finishes, like solid surface quartz countertops and hardwood floors throughout the living level add to the high-end feel and some home plans have even been drawn up to allow for a private elevator to be added.

Montmere floor plans • A Plan - 2, 449 square feet with 2 bed, 2.5 bath and a flex space to make your own.

• B Plan - A large 3 bed, 2.5 bath plan covering 2,575 square feet.

• C Plan - At 2,979 square feet this plan offers the most space of any Montmere home.

• D Plan - A 2-bed, 2.5-bath, 1,460 square foot floor plan with 2-car tandem garage.

The homes themselves, currently under construction, look to be just as impressive as the surrounding area. (Rendering: Koelbel).

• E Plan - Cook with a view in this 1,847 square foot plan with an optional kitchen for your rooftop deck.

• F Plan - Choose between an optional 1st floor bath & flex space, or full bed & bath in this 1,901 square foot home.

• G Plan - This 2,746 square foot duplex home includes a spacious living level and 3-car garage.

Built for you Initial construction of the first townhomes is under way on two buildings. Part of these first builds will serve as show-models and help prospective buyers get a sense of place in the neighborhood and a feel for their future homes.

After the initial phase, more homes will be released a few buildings at a time, based on sales and construction schedules. In most cases, buyers will have the

opportunity to select optional features such as whether or not they want the additional rooftop kitchen or flex spaces.

The entire creation of Montmere is expected to take three years with construction wrapping up about eight to ten months after the last building is released. The very first home buyers can expect to move in at the end of this year or early next, but homes are already being actively sold from floor plans and virtual tours available on Montmere’s website.

Koelbel and Company has a long history of creating successful communities. Since 1952, the family-owned real estate development firm has shaped the evolution of Colorado real estate. After getting its start as a residential brokerage firm, the company moved into community development in 1960 with the purchase of what would become the 600-acre Pinehurst Country Club, one of the earliest master-

planned communities in the region. Throughout the company’s storied history, their aim has always been to enhance the areas they build in while respecting the land underneath to create a place people are proud to call home.

Today, Koelbel continues to diversify and innovate to meet today’s continuously evolving real estate demands. In 2012, the company’s newest division, Koelbel Urban Homes (KUH), was founded and today KUH offers urban-home communities of the highest quality in some of Denver’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Montmere looks to continue that legacy.

THE LIGHTER SIDE

Trying unsuccessfully to get into the Front Range housing market? Consider these extreme measures The current Front Range real estate market is rather mindboggling.

Demand is outpacing supply like never before. (It’s like having only two porta-potties

BY MARY at a huge beer LYNN BRUNY festival.) This At Home Colorado is especially true for lessexpensive properties such as starter homes.

My son and his girlfriend are trying to buy such a home in Fort Collins and have made several unaccepted offers. Unfortunately, with their limited buying power I think they have a better chance of winning the lottery or being abducted by aliens than getting a property under contract.

Besides being over asking price, the most attractive offers are all cash (no financing - just a wheel barrel full of money), they

often forgo inspections (despite the obvious hole in the eaves the squirrels are scampering through), and agree to any closing requirements the seller wants (close at midnight during the next full moon while chanting around a fire pit deep in the woods).

What can a highly motivated buyer do to make their offer stand out? The days of writing a heartfelt letter to accompany the offer are long gone. Potential buyers need to propose much more.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, including giving up one’s free time (and perhaps one’s dignity). Assuming the seller is staying in the area, here are some suggestions - granted, rather extreme ones - a buyer can add to make their offer unusually attractive: Agree to wash the seller’s car every weekend. Make your offer stronger by also agreeing to vacuum and clean the inside.

Yes, their old fast food bags and dirty gym clothes may have flies swirling around them, but with

your good work at least maggots will be kept at bay.

Agree to mow the seller’s lawn each week when needed. Sure their non-powered push mower takes forever and uses every scrap of energy you have. But you wouldn’t want to disturb their Saturday morning sleep with a noisy electric or gas mower. Plus it is a good work out despite the feeling that you’re having a heart attack.

Agree to clean the seller’s new house twice a month. Make your offer stronger by agreeing to wash the sheets, including the bedwetter’s and the stinky teenager’s.

Before you know it you’ll get used to these smells despite the fact they will always cause your eyes to sting and water.

Agree to dog sit for the seller when they travel. Make this offer stronger by agreeing to take the beast to obedience school to help with its biting problem. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to being chomped on by Cujo. Soon those scars will toughen up and you’ll barely feel a thing.

If the seller has children, agree to babysit every Friday night.

Make this offer stronger by agreeing to teach them Mandarin.

(Don’t worry if you don’t know Mandarin. How hard can it be?)

If they don’t have children but would like one, agree to give them your first-born.

This last idea may seem very extreme, but if they accept your offer you can still see your child when you’re washing the seller’s car, mowing their lawn, cleaning their house and dog sitting. In others words, all the time. But the amazing thing to focus on is you’ll get into the Front Range housing market! That’s like winning the lottery! Hopefully you won’t also get abducted by aliens. I hear the housing market on Jupiter is just out of this world.

Help for seniors with property taxes (continued) owner of record for the property and lived in it as a primary residence for 10 consecutive years before January 1.

The deadline to apply is July 15th of each year. If the senior qualifies, the exemption goes into effect for the tax year that is being applied for. The discount will first appear in the tax bill that is sent in January of each year.

For those who qualify, 50% of the first $200,000 in actual value of their primary residence is exempted, for a maximum exemption amount of $100,000 in actual value. The State of Colorado pays the property taxes on the exempted value.

Exceptions to ownership and occupancy requirements include: if a property is owned by a trust, corporate partnership, or legal entity; the applicant or spouse is or was living in a nursing home, hospital, or assisted living facility; the residence was condemned or destroyed by a natural disaster; or homeowner passed away prior to January 1. In the event of deeding the property into a trust, the trustee can re-apply. A surviving spouse can also re-apply in the

event of the death of a spouse.

For more information about the senior tax exemption, visit the Boulder County Assessor website at: bouldercounty.org/ departments/assessor.

Senior homestead tax prorations when selling Because the Senior Property Tax Exemption is a discount for qualifying seniors, there can be confusion when a senior sells their home. Oftentimes the property tax amount shown in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is at the discounted rate. Care should be taken to make sure a home buyer understands what the property taxes will be when the senior tax exemption no longer applies.

For the home closing, taxes are prorated to the lower “senior” amount and the home buyer gets the benefit of the lower tax rate until the end of the year that was prorated. At the start of the following year, however, property taxes will resume to the nondiscounted amount.

To learn more about property tax prorations, see my article at:

athomecolorado.com/real-estateat-home-colorado/property-taxprorations-at-closings.

Senior Tax Worker Program As a senior – in this case, 60 years of age or older – you can work off some of your property taxes through temporary employment with Boulder County. The senior must own property in Boulder County and live at the location where the taxes are due. The senior will be paid $12.32 per hour and can earn up to the amount of the county portion of the tax bill not to exceed $1,000.

NOTE: Due to COVID-19, this program has been suspended

by Boulder County until at least the end of the second quarter of 2021. The timeline may change in response to coronavirus guidance.

Seniors are still able to apply to the program up until June 15, and the application will be considered.

Half of the salary will be paid by the Boulder County Commissioner’s Office and half by the hiring department within the county. The senior will receive a paycheck, subject to regular withholding. The senior will

be responsible for paying their property taxes on their own by the due date.

The application for the Senior Tax Worker Program is available on the Boulder County Commissioner’s Office website and the deadline to apply is June 15 of each year: bouldercounty.org/jobs/seniortax-worker-program.

There you have it – three avenues to help seniors with their property taxes!
