Welcome to the Joan Shaffer Group! This is your "One-Stop" site for information about homes in Golden, Lakewood, Littleton and all of metropolitan Denver, Colorado real estate.
Here is the latest information about the construction status of the greatly anticipated FasTracks light rail extension from downtown Denver, through Lakewood, all the way to Golden! Click on http://www.rtd-fastracks.com/ for all the latest news. One of the Lakewood stations will be at the new St. Anthony's Hospital to be built near Kipling Street and Alameda Avenue. Great things are happening in Lakewood!
We specialize in helping buyers and sellers of homes in all of the suburban communities along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, which include Golden, Lakewood and Littleton plus Evergreen, Arvada and Wheat Ridge. Because these suburbs are located west of the City of Denver, they are just a few minutes away from the mountains plus they also offer proximity to all of Denver's big-city amenities. You could ski in the morning, golf on one of the hundreds of area courses in the afternoon - or enjoy hiking or biking on one of our many trails - and attend an event at the Convention Center or the Denver Center for Performing Arts in the evening. We have it all for you to enjoy within just minutes of each other!
In addition, there is information here about every home, townhome or condo listed in the entire Denver Metropolitan Area, such as Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Castle Rock, Parker and other suburban communities. You will find the most relevant information about Golden, Lakewood, Littleton and Denver, Colorado right here, courtesy of the Joan Shaffer Group.
Thank you for visiting our web site. Do come back often! We are here to help you with all your real estate needs!

Four of the Most Important Strategies Joan Uses to Sell Homes! 
1. Joan creates Beautiful Color Brochures for her listiings and incorporates a stunning Virtual Tour. The Brochures are placed inside and outside the home for prospective buyers. The Virtual Tour allows buyers browsing on-line to view 10 or more photos of your home in an interactive slide show. Professional photography ensures the highest quality presentation of your home's features. Most buyers won't even consider an appointment to view a home unless they have seen beautiful pictures and details in a brochure or on line. This is, by far, the most effective advertising for your home!
2. Joan provides recommendations for inspections and warranties to both Sellers and Buyers. When a Seller has a pre-listing inspection it's possible to make necessary repairs before the home goes on the market. As a Seller, you then become more knowledgeable, less likely to be surprised by a report from the Buyer's inspector and better prepared to negotiate a sales price. For a Buyer, because Colorado has no licensing requirements for inspectors, having a recommendation for an reputable inspection company that is trusted and experienced will save money and time and heartache when you find that home of your dreams!
3. Joan offers professional staging consultations and showing recommendations to help your home present its very best appearance! This is a MUST to separate your home from the competition. It absolutely has to sparkle! I call this the "WOW" factor! Today's buyers expect this or they move on to the "next" listing. We work to make YOUR home memorable in the Buyer's mind, because in today's "buyer's market" many buyers are seeing 30 to 50 houses in their home search! A home with the "WOW" factor will sell many times faster and for more money than the "average" home listing today.
4. Joan exposes your home's listing to more than 50 real estate sites like REALTOR.com, RE/MAX.com, Google.com, HomesByThePros.com, NUMBER1EXPERT.com, Homes.com, HarmonHomes.com, CraigsList.org, HomeSeekers.com, Immobel.com, LiveDeal.com, Oodle.com, Sell.com, Trulia.com, Yahoo!Real Estate, ColdwellBanker.com, Zillow.com, RealEstate.com, plus many, many more with more added every month! Buyers enjoy seeing homes on the Internet, and yours will be seen more than most because of our extensive marketing to these sites.
These are only a few of Joan's marketing techniques. Call Joan today for a no cost, no obligation consultation if you or someone you know is thinking about selling their home. It costs nothing to get answers about the current real estate market and what your home is worth. It may - or may not - be time to sell. You can count on Joan to give you honest and accurate information.
 We have recently been honored to be selected by Denver's Channel 4, CBS, as a Denver Area Expert real estate professional. All of our listings will appear in those featured spots.

Relocation >Help Your Real Estate Agent
Once your home is listed for sale, it may be difficult for you to step aside and let your agent take over. When prospective buyers arrive, you may want to stand by to point out the closet extenders, the hidden spice cabinet behind the kitchen door, the energy-saving storm windows or the updated copper plumbing. If you really want to help, however, you will leave the house whenever it is being shown!
We have found that the sales process does not really begin until buyers have begun to voice their objections about a property. Sometimes these concerns are serious enough to remove your house from consideration. Often, however, people voice objections as an automatic response when they really love the house and want to buy it. Real estate professionals are trained to know the difference.
If a seller is standing at the agent's elbow, the buyer won't be comfortable enough to allow the process of raising objections take place. If the buyer feels intimidated or suppressed, we could lose the sale. The best way to help is to give your real estate agent room to make the sale.
