5 Main Reasons for Joining with RE/MAX of Boulder, Inc. and

the husband & wife agents, Barry & Elizabeth Friedlander

Barry often known as "Bear" and Elizabeth know as "Liz" Friedlander have a long standing reputation for getting the job done.  Frequently mentioned is their personal touch & results.  Theirs isn't a factory or a team approach with numerous assistants (that may not be agents nor know your particular needs or requirements).  Besides their extensive experience they come from a desire to truly help.  Can you really beat having two top agents for the price of one?  Imagine a husband and wife team that actually likes working together!  They're excited to assist you with your special real estate needs.  This market, has many unique and varied challenges. With a long standing passion for the business, they share a fulltime commitment to their clients.  Discover their wonderful balance & how well they work together for you.  With their extensive proven record, they are unlike the numerous Johnny-Come-Latelys that are MIA (missing in action as they have left the business in droves).  Discover your personal, step-by-step systems approach, using their one-on-one attention and dynamic web and email resources, that provide 24/7 market coverage for their clients. 

#1.  Experience:  Met the SURVIVOR Series. "Bear", has been a top associate with Boulder County's #1 top selling real estate office RE/MAX of Boulder, Inc. over 29 years.  His over 33 yrs of local real estate experience has helped thousands with relocation, buying & selling real estate. "Liz" was raised locally & comes from more of a corporate background, yet has worked in the real estate industry going on 9 yrs.  

#2 Knowledge & Flexibility:  Although knowledge is frequently believed to come from experience; let's face it experience can be a lengthy and expensive teacher with lessons that may lessen with time.  Things that worked in the past may no longer apply in today's unique market and personal circumstances.  Courses and personal designations are fine but hands on experience remains the best teacher when it comes to knowledge of neighborhoods, schools, values, opportunities, and adapting to challenges.  There is no one right way, let's find yours.  Experience may teach not only what to do, it may also teach the all important, what not to do in a given situation. 

#3 Commitment:  As full time professionals they are most of all available.  You'll find them unwilling to give up easily. Bear is often described as providing "Teddy Bear Service with Grizzly Bear Results."  They understand that your circumstance are special.  Their personal touch, is conducted from the heart as well as the mind, with sensitivity.  We prize the opportunity to work in a collaborative manner.

#4 Value:  With a quality combination of a husband and wife you have available the perspective of two genders and two points of view.  That's two agents for the price of one, how can you go wrong?  Unlike in some team approaches, you won't get lost in a collection of individuals who may be part time, nor always focused upon your special wants and needs.  "Bear" is trained and certified as a Neuro-Linguistic Practioner and Ontological Coach, besides having achieved the RE/MAX International Top Most Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement designations.  He's a Past Director and President of the Boulder Area Realtors Association having worked extensively in the creation of our MLS (Multiple Listing System). Liz previously faced the challenging task of coordinating services for the corporate world for years. She is also currently a director on the Boulder Area Realtor Association.  Together they continue to be recognized as one of the top teams at RE/MAX of Boulder.  Nationally the average agent sells fewer than 5 homes a year.   

#5 Resources:  One of the most frequently requested items in discussions and the need to make challenging decisions is to have all of the necessary facts.  This usually can be a two way street.  Most importantly, they want to hear about you and what works for you.  That's what matters.  Besides what your hopes and dreams are, they care to hear about your personal needs, requirements and abilities.  The last thing they want to do is push you in a direction or circumstance that does not support your personal wishes.  Real estate is frequently the largest personal investment that an individual or family makes.  Even with lots of information on the web it is a complicated and unique process.  It is not like buying a book or airline ticket on the web.  This is frequently a financial as well as an emotional experience; this is not the time to take huge uncalculated risks.  Although no one can accurately predict the future, the past leaves clues as to opportunities and possibilities.  You need good, accurate, and up to date information to make intelligent decisions.  With up to date technical resources that can support your decision making process with constant current activity.        

There is so very much to consider when it comes to your money, family, and circumstances.  First consider that local economic and real estate news can often resemble the weather, some times good, yet sometimes bad (depending upon one's outlook and specific location).  You'll often find that circumstances and possibilities can vary tremendously between one area and another as well as price ranges.  Contrasting most troubling national news in 2011, Our area remains one of the true bright (stability in life style, recreation, health, & value) spots in the country.
