Mistake 1
Buyers purchase a home without the help of professional advice.  They learn (often the hard way) that potential savings are often eaten up in wasted time, mistakes, and poor negotiation.  If trying to save money by NOT using an agent, BEWARE!  First if you are dealing with a seller that has an agent, you will be dealing with a professional who negotiates home purchase issues every day and they work for the seller, not you!  Their job is to get the seller the most money possible, plain and simple, …

What I do find interesting, is the proposed plan for the campus will be for a “Worldwide training center” and “Global technology center”  Conoco says it will use the facility to research hydrogen fuel cells, solar and wind power, along with cleaner diesel fuel, made …

While the bloodbath (bloodbath may be a little harsh) may be nearing an end, the data keeps pouring in and 2007 kind of sucked!  Almost 40,000 homes were foreclosed on in Colorado last year (39,915 to be exact), that breaks a record set only a year earlier.
