For over 2 years, your staff kept up with us
For over 2 years, your staff kept up with us in the pursuit of our dream to move to Durango, CO. Emails, phone calls and packet mailings kept us constantly informed as to property offerings we might be interested in purchasing. The day our ranch sold in Arizona, we contacted Mike Dent's office and a number of local properties were assembled for us to visit upon moving to Durango! They even provided a moving truck to aid a local move for free! The land our new home is being built upon is the result of a two year investment of time and care on the part of the Mike Dent Team. They never gave up on helping us make our dream come true. We will always be grateful for their help and we consider them for than our realtors - We call them friends.

Bargain Properties >Bargain Homes
Most buyers want a home that is in tip-top condition and ready for them to occupy, but many homes sell for bargain prices because they need work. Buyers love "fixer-uppers" for the obvious reasons: the affordable price and the satisfaction of remodeling the house to accommodate your tastes and needs.
Whether you are buying the property for yourself or as an investment, choose a house that is in a good location and structurally sound. It should be priced enough below market value (usually 25%) to allow plenty of room for a profitable re-sale after the work is completed.
It is important to educate yourself before taking on a fixer-upper project. Inexpensive cosmetic improvements often give the greatest return on your investment-- paint will increase the value three times for every dollar invested. Landscaping, carpeting, and light fixtures are also relatively inexpensive improvements. Try to avoid purchasing a house that needs expensive structural improvements such as a new roof, plumbing, wiring, or foundation repairs.
Remodeling a kitchen will rarely add more than the cost of the upgrade, but new appliances usually give a fine return. An extra bathroom is the best renovation from an investment point of view, often giving twice its cost in added value.
