Penthouse Party at Zi Lofts
THE place to be and be seen this Sunday!
My friend and coworker in the real estate biz Alyssa Jahns from Kentwood City Properties really knows how to throw a party! And this Sunday should be no exception, as she unveils the Zi Lofts and Townhomes for all to see!
The Zi building has been rising out of an old parking lot at the corner of 22nd and Blake in downtown Denver – right across from Coors Field in LoDo. The party starts at 11:00, and the first 70 attendees in the door will earn VIP passes for the Rockies Game that same day!
Kentwood Awards Dinner
By Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
One of the things I appreciate most about the Kentwood Company is that everything is always done in a first-class manner. 
The same was certainly true For the Kentwood Awards Dinner which was recently held at the prestigious Denver Country Club.
I was delighted to join over 30 agents from all three offices of The Kentwood Companies who were recognized for their outstanding sales contributions during 2007. Each of the agents sold more than $10 million worth of real estate during the year.
May Home Sales
By Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
Well, there’s good news and bad news for the Denver real estate market in the latest MLS statistics released for the month of May.
The best news is that the number of single-family homes and condominiums actually decreased almost 10% from the year ago period. That means that the supply of homes is shrinking to match lower home sales.
The bad news is that actual closed sales were down about 8% from May 2007. Although reported under-contract sales were essentially the same as the year ago period, the number of reported sales which failed to close increased to a whopping 25%.

"Shock and awe….Amazing….The best home I’ve ever seen, period".
This mountain-style retreat has everything you could want in a 42,000 square foot home nestled on a 72 rolling acres with views of The Rocky Mountains. This magnificent home took seven years to complete the perfect getaway for an affluent family. Actually, it is reminiscent of an exclusive corporate retreat with its 9 bedrooms and baths, indoor pool, bowling alley, exercise center and much, much more.

Can history repeat itself? My firm, The Kentwood Company, is in processing of transitioning to new ownership. It was acquired by Bill Moore, former Partner in the firm and former President of The National Association of Realtors, and his son-in-law, Peter Niederman.
Fact is that Mr. Moore was a 50% partner in the elite firm in 1988 until 1998. Mr. Niederman was Chief Operating Officer of Moore and Company for many years before it was sold to NRT. It is now known as Coldwell Banker in the Denver area.
