Selling the fine homes of Boulder Valley
In Superior, CO Location Can Make or Break the Deal
While out with home buyers this weekend we found a beautifully updated, contemporary home exactly in their price range. At first we all got excited as it had “the kitchen” with a center island, granite counters and stainless appliances and the hardwood floors were gleaming throughout the open floor plan.
It was a gem for sure.
Excitedly we stepped out onto the deck to admire the advertised mountain views and that’s when we saw it. The fence line of this tiny backyard came face to face with the backside of a storage lot full of old campers, rusty machinery and an old school bus. Once you looked over the top all the rusty metal, the dilapidated mobile home and the neglected buildings you could indeed see the mountains. But the mountain view could not hold your eye as it was the wreckage just over the little fence that held your attention.
With my encouragement my buyers moved on.
This beautiful home will most likely sell in today’s hot market. And someone will justify to themselves the wreckage is “better than having neighbors right behind you”. But once this hot sellers market shifts, and history shows that it will, the new owners will have a much more difficult time selling due to the back fence junkyard neighbor. In addition, this home’s appreciable value will be significantly compromised compared to others in the neighborhood due to the view out the back windows.
Its times like this when I put on my Real Estate Psychiatrist hat and help my clients disconnect their emotions for one part of a house ( they loved the great kitchen and floor plan in this case) in order find a home that they can truly love for years to come while making a smarter long term investment with their life’s savings.

Hi Jeff,Just wanted to thank you again for all your hard work and helping me so much. I appreciate all you have done more than you will probably ever know. It really helped knowing that you were there looking out for my best interests.
I am gradually getting unpacked and settled in here in my new home!
We have always dreamed of escaping our city life and moving to Steamboat Springs. But with a young family and an aging mother to care for we knew there would be significant challenges in moving our lives to the mountains. Thankfully, we called Jeff.
Jeff gave us an excellent plan for marketing our home and my mother’s condo. Since we were building our dream home in Steamboat, we needed every nickel from the sale proceeds. Jeff’s good advice and…
Jeff proved to me that he was willing to work hard to see the sale of our home through. Knowledgable, experienced, a great communicator, and a friend. I have, and will continue to recommend Jeff Gazaway to anyone looking to have a positive, stress-free real estate experience.
Jeff is outstanding; a model by which others in the profession should be measured. He is skilled , knowledgeable, helpful and more than willing to hold the hand of the first time homebuyer through the bewildering maze that is the first purchase.
Jeff Made it Easy and Fun
We can’t say enough good things about Jeff. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. The whole process of buying a home is stressful enough, particularly when you are coming from out of town (as we did), but Jeff provided expertise, diligence and friendship that really made the process easy, and dare we say “fun”!
Jeff’s vast knowledge of the market, from neighborhoods to schools to finding the best lunch spot, coupled with expertis…
