Kathy Soltero: Hi, I'm Kathy Soltero with MetroBrokers TV, today in the studio we have Cher Schafer. Cher Schafer thank you so much coming in.

Cher Schafer: Thank you, I appreciate it.

Kathy Soltero: Tell me a little bit about your real estate office and your real estate company.

Cher Schafer: Well I'm Cher Schafer Homes of Metro Brokers and I'm located out of the Dakota Ridge office which is at C-470 and Bowles.

Kathy Soltero: Are you all by yourself then or do you have any other agents with you?

Cher Schafer: I don't have anyone underneath me, my license.

Kathy Soltero: Is that something you plan to do, are you going to expand?

Cher Schafer: Um, not at this time. I don't have any plans for that, I kind of like doing my own thing and being responsible for myself.

Kathy Soltero: How long have you been in the business?

Cher Schafer: Actually this month it's 20 years.

Kathy Soltero: Wow, so you have seen quite a cycle of things happen.

Cher Schafer: Yeah, definitely.

Kathy Soltero: What did you do prior to real estate? What lead you into a real estate career?

Cher Schafer: I actually got my real estate license when I was 21 years old. But I was in insurance at the time and I just kind of let myself be guided and it turned out to be real estate was the right thing for me.

Kathy Soltero: Did you do any real estate when you first got your license or?

Cher Schafer: No, it was inactive for awhile actually.

Kathy Soltero: And now CherSchaferHomes.com, do you specialize in any specific area? Or do you specialize in any kind of real estate?

Cher Schafer: Mostly residential, horse property also, townhomes that type of thing. Jefferson County, I've worked quite a bit there because I'm form Colorado actually and grew up in that area.

Kathy Soltero: Cher, you've been in the real estate business for twenty years, tell me how how you've seen it change dramatically over the past few years even?

Cher Schafer: Well, when I got into the business it was very much the HUD market then and so that kind of got me into that gear and was actually a good learning experience to go through that period of time. then it got better after that and now we're right there again, so.

Kathy Soltero: Is it different in dealing with those HUDs and the foreclosures and the short sales that it was back then?

Cher Schafer: It is definitely and you just have to be able to adjust I think to what the market is at the time. Right now the lower price range is really rapid and I think that's a good place to focus on right now too with people trying to take advantage of the $8,000 credit and that kind of thing.

Kathy Soltero: Alright, Cher Schafer, thank you so much for joining us today on Metro Brokers TV.

Cher Schafer: Thank you.
