Fish Market prepares for new
life as wedding,
events venue, an article
from the
Colorado Springs Business
Journal, reports
that the 8,900-square-foot
commercial building on 2.77
acres overlooking downtown
Colorado Springs soon will
become a destination for
local wedding parties and
special event planners.
Last month, the property was
purchased for $1.45 million
by the Yellen Family
Partnership LLLP, which also
operates The Pinery in Black
Forest. Local architect
Bruce Barr and general
contractor Art Klein
Construction have been hired
to transform the existing
site and building into what
the new owners describe as
“mini-Broadmoor” quality.
The former Fish Market site
will become Pinery on the
Hill. Eric Allen, director
of operations for the Black
Forest facility and the
Pinery on the Hill said, “We
hope to be ready to formally
announce our plans for the
building by mid-July, once
the review process and is
completed.”

15 Powerful Ways to Find
Prospects and become a
Stronger Agent,
an article from
RISMedia.com,
reports that you must
constantly prospect
in order to remain
successful in real
estate. But for some agents,
picking up that telephone is
a very difficult thing to
do. One effective
method for locating
prospects is to hold a
call-to-action seminar. For
sellers, some examples might
be: how to advertise a
house; how to hold an open
house; how to use today’s
low interest rates to get
your house sold. And for
buyers: how to conduct a
home search in half the time
or financing strategies in
today’s real estate market.
Another effective method for
locating prospects is to
take the long way
home. People tend to
drive to the office the same
way every day. By taking a
different route, you’ll see
things you never noticed
before like a few FSBO
signs. Finally, create a
master list that includes
plumbers, electricians,
gardeners, contractors,
divorce attorneys, etc. and
include them in your
promotion campaigns.
