203k is alive and well in Sheridan WYWhile the 203k is actually alive and well everywhere, it is especially the desired loan type in Sheridan WY as the majority of homes were built in 1975. That would make most of them 40-60 years old. I think every home sale should be a renovation loan, fix it like you want going in and enjoy the home as you see it. If there is carpet you don't know how many pets have left something there for you to discover in a few years. Make it your home with new carpeting or floor coverings. Update the kitchen and bathrooms, repaint that bedroom with the red walls and the one with the black walls and ceiling, LOL. There must be something you would like to fix or change, that makes it a renovation loan prospect. Maybe the buyer was looking for a 4 bedroom, 2 bathro... 11/11/2023

The Universal Problem! Everyone knows maintaining a blog while doing all the "stuff" we do in our real estate business can be a serious challenge. Keeping fresh content on 2 blogging platforms is even more challenging. If you were to take a look at our Sheridan Blog, you would quickly notice we need to be more disciplined and diligent about posting more frequently. Here at our Active Rain blog, we often take the easy way out and use "Postlets" to feature our listings. Frankly, we really need to take the time to write more fresh, linked content. The Dakno team keeps telling me we are missing all the awesome SEO link power of Active Rain by not taking advantage of linking original content back to our Sheridan real estate website and our Sheridan Community blog. With that said, they asked ... 04/25/2008

Soccer season is about to begin in the Cowboy State and the Sheridan Storm will have a number of really good teams competing.  One of the really great venues for soccer, not only in Wyoming, but anywhere, is the Big Horn Events Center, which amazingly can simultaneously run 22 soccer games all at the same facility.  This same facility is home to the Big Horn Polo Club, where polo is played all summer and many other activities.  Take a look at Big Horn and Sheridan for a great early May trip to Wyoming, and then come back in the summer for a memorable summer vacation in one of the greatest places on earth.The MARS® Big Horn Mountain Spring Cup is truly an amazing event. 03/17/2008

 The meadowlarks are singing and the sound of bulldozers and excavators fill the air. It is the sound of energy and wildlife at the base of the Bighorn Mountains. Many people want to keep the area unchanged. Many people want to take what is there and ship it to the surrounding area. The dirt covered trucks and the sound of equipment are music to my ears. It means that jobs are being created and we get to import less oil from Saudia Arabia. It means that we can carry guns in our trucks and have the opportunity to see large bull elk out our windows. The sound of a meadowlark is prettier, but the sound of large trucks paves the way for America's freedom. bob 03/16/2008

We who live here already know how great it is, but in 2006, Sheridan, Wyoming was voted the #1 Western Town in the US by True West Magazine and now Outdoor Life Magazine has selected Sheridan, Wyoming as the #3 town for outdoor living out of the best 200.  Interestingly, 5 of the top 6 are western towns.  It's a trend that's becoming more noticeable.  For sportsmen and those who love outdoor living, check us out.  But it's more than just outdoor living; it's overall living, like low crime, friendly faces and a lifestyle that's mostly disappeared from most places.  Here's a sample of what you might expect.  03/13/2008
