Realtor Jackie Long & trusted Mortgage Correspondent Lender Nicole “Kiki” Williams of The Hanson Planning Group (an Affiliate of Megastar Financial) send their clients a good giggle each month with these themed, entertaining & informative postcards. Brought to you by the patience, understanding & true talent of their darling dogs, Tripp, Grizzly, Mookie & newly welcoming darling Della!.
“What will you think of next?” is a frequent question! We haven’t duplicated a theme yet. We lost two of our original quartet, Molson & Blue in 2011, and were heartbroken to say good bye to Bear in 2013. The last of the old guard left us in 2018, our darling Woody. We also were devastated to lose our shining star, Boone, in October 2023. Our current fierce foursome have been proven prodigies since very young ages! Della is fitting in nicely with the group & we look forward to sharing her fierce talents as she grows up! We’ve had a number of guest appearances over the years, as well. And just to clarify, YES they really are fully dressed (hats, wigs, glasses & all) and are really posing like that!
These monthly postcards will not only keep you abreast of timely real estate & mortgage issues, but they’re great fun to find in your mailbox! Which is YOUR favorite? Collect them all! Email us to join the mailing list & receive the magnetic, year-at a glance Dog Calendar!

2024 – Save the Date!
February 2024
We Give Home Buyers Somethin’ to Bark About!
We’ve got a bone to pick with last year’s real estate market which left home buyers chasing their tails & opting to sit & stay in their current housing situation. We’re taking a bite out of what made it so ruff.
Inventory & Affordability — As of 1/26/24, Jackie found a whopping 536 Active, 3-bed single family home listings priced at $425,000 or Less in the entire Denver Metro Matrix/RE Colorado system. Now that’s a pawsitive development! Consider fetching a roommate or Co-Buying with someone other than a spouse or partner. Both are great ways to unleash your buying power without burying your budget!
High Interest Rates — Most experts predict declining rates in 2024 & 2025, but a great short-term option is the 2/1 buydown. It’s the ultimate treat for your mortgage by lowering the payment for the first 2 years & Kiki will help you jump on refinancing when rates drop.
Competition with Cash Buyers — Kiki’s Cash Ready Program takes the biscuit, allowing you to make an offer with no loan approval deadline & close in as few as 10 business days!
You Have a Home to Sell First — Make a non-contingent purchase offer BEFORE you sell! Plus, qualify for your new home without your existing mortgage payment & pull the new home down payment with bridge loan financing!
Act NOW before interest rates drop further & you’re in a dog fight with multiple offers to buy the home of your dreams. Refinance when you’re already IN your new home & leave the dog-eat-dog market behind!
We make home buying, selling & financing as smooth as peanut butter & as enjoyable as a belly rub. Jackie & Kiki can give you a new lease on life! We’re Your Keys to a Smart Move!
Introducing Della Mae, Jackie’s 3-month-old Plott Hound rescue. She’s already a star in the making!

Boone’s Lasting Legacy Sits, Stays
We were devastated to say goodbye to our brilliant, funny & talented girl, Boonie, at the end of 2023. Since she joined our family as an 8-week old puppy & learned the doggie ropes from her big brother, Bear, she has been a shining starwho brought so much love & laughter to the dog postcards & to all who knew her.
We know Bear & her old pal Woody were there to greet her over the rainbow bridge. It’s never easy to say goodbye& we’ll keep Boone in our hearts as we continue our quest to bring you industry news, tips & tricks with a clever canine twist. Watch for a new family member in 2024 & we know Boone will be keeping those sharp blue eyes on us for years to come! She’s a hard act to follow.
The Dog Crew has wrapped up their fantastical Once Upon a Time journey through 2023. We invite you to Save the Date with us throughout 2024 as we explore weird & wacky holidays to celebrate with your furry family members.
It’s a Date: We’re Your Keys to a Smart Move through 2024 & beyond!
