Hello there, I'm Dan Counter, also known as The CashBack Guy. With 30 plus years of experience as a Colorado realtor, I've seen the ebbs and flows of the housing market, the economic downturns, and the individual stories of homeowners trying to navigate it all. I've always believed in fair pricing and making the system work for you, the buyer or seller.
What is CashBack?
For those who are new to the term, CashBack is a concept where a portion of the money a buyer has already paid into the transaction is returned to them. In my program, I pay homebuyers 1% of the purchase price, which could amount to thousands of dollars. It's my way of making the housing market a bit more accessible and fair.
Today's Topic: Fear and Your Money
The times are tough. The economy isn't what it used to be, and inflation is higher than most of us would like. Homeowners find themselves caught in a dilemma—needing to pull equity from their homes to deal with debt, but also finding themselves unable to qualify for loans due to the very debt they're trying to manage.
It's Not Your Fault
It's important to understand that if you're facing such difficulties, you're not alone, and it's not your fault. Economic fluctuations affect us all, but they shouldn't define us or our worth. High inflation and economic downturns are systemic issues that individual homeowners didn't create but have to navigate.
Where to Turn?
It's easy to feel isolated when you're caught in a financial struggle. So what options do you have?
Options to Overcome Setbacks
The first thing to remember is that setbacks are temporary. There are options available, even when it feels like there aren't any. If you need to sell your home to balance out your financial standing, we are here 100% to support you. With my long-time fair pricing home remodeling partner, we help get your home ready for sale, improve your properties, keep costs low, and protect your hard-earned equity.
When to Buy?
Now, if you're a potential homebuyer, the question is, when should you buy? In my opinion, you should be buying at every opportunity. Homeownership can be like owning an ATM; it’s an asset that can potentially yield significant returns in the long run. By continually building equity and refinancing when rates drop, you can optimize your financial health.
Proper Representation Matters
One thing I can't stress enough is the importance of having proper representation. A good realtor brings to the table a higher level of knowledge and experience, which includes an understanding of home repairs and costs. I have personally overseen numerous home renovations, and that experience informs my negotiating skills on behalf of my clients.

Case in Point
Just yesterday, I had someone inquire about converting a mechanical room into a small living space. The homeowner was looking to add value to their home by generating additional income. We were able to connect them with our trusted renovation partner right away. This underscores the importance of thinking creatively and leveraging the assets you already have.
