... Read MoreIn a scene reminiscent of 2021’s massive blaze, and 2022’s bonfire redux, Ogden residents gathered to witness the demise of a massive 5-story development under construction by the Lotus Company on the former Teleperformance site. The fire knocked out power to a broad swath of downtown, including our home, during a winter windstorm with 30mph canyon winds and temperatures below 20°F. The fire burned extremely fast and the massive building was completely consumed within an hour. Here is a link to an incredible view of the fire from an adjacent […]

... Read MoreTwo massive projects in Ogden City have been making slow but steady progress. The first is the Wonderblock project at the old Wonderbread site adjacent to the 2nd District Courthouse. The new parking garage has been an ever expanding monolithic presence on the site for some time. But, after months of tedious groundwork and preparations, improvements on the surrounding buildings are finally starting to manifest themselves as “gray shoots” springing up from the ground. While the parking garage is an imposing unsightly structure, it will ultimately be obscured by a […]
... Read MoreWe just closed on the sale of this unique commercial/industrial building located at 897 N. 2000 W. in Farr West. In 2020 the owners of the building were referred to us for management services. They were having difficulty with the tenant and wanted to hand the responsibility to a professional company to make things easier. After several years, the owner’s circumstances changed and they they wanted to reorganize their investment portfolio. That necessitated the sale of the building. We listed the building for sale in June 2024 for $1,200,000. The […]

... Read MoreThe Federal Government has a heavy presence in Ogden. For decades the U.S Forest Service has occupied the Leslie Hodgson designed building at 507 25th Street. Also, the monolithic building at 324 25th Street has been used by the IRS and other agencies since its construction in 1965. This week the Federal government announced its intention to divest itself of these two buildings due to age and the cost of upkeep and renovations. This historic event opens a door of opportunity for Ogden. The Forest Service building is an amazing […]
... Read MoreWe just closed on the sale of this mid-century rambler located at 4410 S. Orchard Ave. in South Ogden, Utah. The sales journey for this property was one of market discovery. This was an estate sale for the trustees who had strong sentimental appreciation for the home since it was filled with their childhood memories. We listed the home at a higher price in order to test the market. Our original list price was $439,900 when the home went on the market in late August. Showings were very quiet at […]
... Read MoreDuring the Great Financial Crisis, real estate sales transactions plummeted along with house prices and commission splits. This trifecta of doom shocked what was previously a plentiful real estate market. Like castaways starving on a desert island, Realtors began to distress as they scoured for sales. Healthy looking agents were suspected of hoarding and became targets of jealousy. Frequently, the call of “Procuring Cause!” was shouted in a form of commission cannibalism. Times were tough and the formerly friendly marketplace metamorphed into a scene from Lord of the Flies and […]

... Read MoreWe recently closed on the sale of this cute little hamlet located just yards away from the Ogden River Parkway in Ogden. The home is a cozy 760 SQFT in a two bedroom configuration. The home has had many recent upgrades. Built in 1947, the home sits on a 0.12 acre lot with access to creek water at the back of the yard. We had spent quite a bit of time helping our client find the right home. As a school teacher, we had budget constraints to work with and […]
... Read MoreWe recently listed this spacious brick clad rambler located at 4410 S. Orchard Ave. in South Ogden, Utah. This home has been in the same family for decades and with changes in living arrangements, the family has opted to put the home up for sale. The home was originally listed for $439,900 and is currently priced at $404,900. The home has great potential with big open spaces and plenty of room to grow. The garage has passive solar heating installed in an oversized 2-car configuration. If you are interested in […]
... Read MoreOne of the reasons historic old homes are so enduring is that they are built of materials that were made to last over 100 years. In this video we have some fun showing how a tired 110 year old porch skirt is replaced with a new one fabricated from 2x4s from the hardware store. Hopefully someone in the year 2134 will watch this video so they know how to replace it again.
