1975 E. Aspen Grove Court | Let the light pour in

The Aspen Grove Court cul-de-sac is no stranger to us. We’ve paraded about this quiet street before, so when we just listed this gem, we were eager to express our fanfare again. Mind if we show you around?

Its impeccable location showcases some of the finest views in our mountaintop community.

The sellers love the kitchen and family room. Can you blame them? Large massive windows let the light pour in.

The wood-burning fireplace is a perfect touch for mountaintop living. Glass of wine or sparkling cider, anyone?

We’re crushin’ on the high ceilings and the loft (or office/playroom) that’s open to the floor below. Channel your inner “Wright Brothers” with a few quick paper folds, then open up a window and let it ride! From here, your paper airplane just may make it to the airport.

The master retreat is, well, just that – a retreat. We’re talking breakfast in bed, a reading nook, or whatever your cozy little heart desires.

A couple of finished bedrooms upstairs, another finished bedroom downstairs and the framed-in basement with a future theater room awaits your latest “pinned” ideas. And remember that loft we told you about? It’s open and airy and the perfect spot for homework, schoolwork, or playing hooky from work.

Ready to see all that light pour in in person? Grab a pair of shades and contact us here.

November SunCrest Market Update

In addition to our hyperlocal SunCrest focus, we’re also involved in national real estate issues. We recently attended the National Association of Realtors conference, a gathering of over 20,000 Realtors. Below we recap a big takeaway from this year’s event.

Shiny new objects

Technology is changing the way the real estate industry operates, and the way Realtors are doing business. From online listing websites, to virtual home tours, to mobile apps that tell you when you’re near a house for sale, there are countless new ways to go about finding or selling a home.

As a consumer, you can now research the entire buying or selling process, sift through listings online, educate yourself about the school system in a neighborhood you’re interested in, or get a “free market analysis in 30 seconds” all from the comfort of your home.

Walking through the trade show this year was quite eye opening. Technology is creating a sense of urgency for Realtors to chase the latest and greatest “shiny new objects” being marketed. We saw everything from online sales leads, apps that predict how likely someone is to sell their home, software that scans your social media posts to find potential clients, and companies that offer to track and communicate with your past clients so Realtors can relax all year long.

Our Take:

Technology streamlines processes and increases education. It empowers buyers and sellers to make the best buying and selling decisions out there. However, just chasing the “shiny new objects” is no replacement for experience and know-how. Not all technology is created equal, and knowing which tools have been proven and which are smoke and mirrors is not always easy. There’s no substitute for sitting down at the table with someone to talk about your personalized options, or having a trusted advisor to help navigate during one of life’s unexpected events. Technology can’t answer the phone to work through a stressful negotiation with you or celebrate with you when you close on your new house.

SunCrest Warm Winter Clothes Drive

We are excited to announce our second “Over The River and Through the Woods” warm winter clothes drive. Last year, we introduced you to the needs of families in the Heber Valley community; a community not too far or too different from ours. Many residents in the Heber community are the backbone work forces in the hotel, ski and tourism industries, often working long hours for low wages. Your response in 2014 was amazing. We gathered over 400 items and when we delivered your donations we saw firsthand the difference you made.

We need your help again! We’re asking residents to donate new or gently used items warm winter clothes including:

Jackets • Coats • Winter Gloves • Winter Hats • Winter Pants • Winter Boots

Here’s how you can help: Drop off anything from the list in the donation bins at the SunCrest Community Clubhouse through November 16^th, 2015.

Our 2015 goal is 600 items (a doable 25% increase from ’14). If you’re feeling social, share donations on Facebook or Instagram using the hashtag #goal600

This year, we’re excited to bring SunCrest residents an exclusive offer. We’ve teamed up with a great local business, Bake360, to bring every SunCrest household a coupon for a free breakfast pastry* – no purchase necessary. Residents should have received a postcard with the clothes drive information and Bake360 coupon. If not, contact us and we’ll send one out ASAP. Just bring in your postcard and enjoy! (Note: Donating isn’t required to enjoy this offer, but is certainly encouraged.)

Thank you in advance for your warm generosity. Together, we can make a difference.
