He and his wife raised their family here, in this little slice of heaven, minutes from old town Fort Collins, CO.  Over the years, he made numerous improvements to the property.  This property consists of fiver acres that are just outside the Fort Collins city limits in Larimer County Colorado that are zoned FA farming.  A 1/8 share of Pleasant Valley Ditch Company irrigation water is also included in the sale.The main residence has been updated numerous times.  One of the first things you notice about it is the large, enclosed wrap-around porch.  It features a massive kitchen with new cabinets, beautiful hardwood floors and a commercial grade cook top.  A quaint breakfast nook with windows overlooking the farm is right off the kitchen.  The rest of the large main floor has brand new carpet and includes a large dining area, living room with fireplace and even a wall safe.  A study/TV room is also on the main floor as is a ¾ bath.    A massive oak curving staircase leads to the upper floor.  This staircase was originally in the historic Stover Mansion in Fort Collins.  Upon reaching the upper floor, you will be greeted by large, west facing windows.  This comfortable sitting area includes built in cabinetry and large a window seat with storage.  The upper floor includes three unique bedrooms that all have large windows.  There is also a full bathroom on this level.  There is also a full-unfinished basement under the original part of this home with tons of storage space.    In 1986, Dr. Astle contracted for an addition on the original home so he could move his dental practice there.  This addition was designed and planned for by an architect.  It adds serious value to this property.  This addition can be put to use and make you money in many ways.  While you can enter it through the home’s kitchen, it also has its own entrance with wheelchair ramp.  We believe the entire addition is ADA accessible.  The main floor of the addition is where Dr. Astle ran his dental practice.  It consists of a large reception/waiting area, two dental operatories with plumbing, a large lab area, a darkroom and one bathroom.  The first things you will notice about the basement of the addition are the large windows that give you the feeling you are not in a basement.  It features two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a full bath and a laundry/utility room.  There is also a direct entrance to the basement under the main house so the entire basement level is connected.The house and attached office are an impressive structure but we are just beginning to see this property.  Dr. Astle also had a wonderful 34’x36’ two-story garage/workshop built near the home.  It built it with the quality of a high-end home.  The main floor includes three overhead doors and two walk-through doors.  The concrete floor is heated by in-floor hot water heat, as is the entire upper level.  A ¾ bath on the main floor allows you to clean up after a fun day on the farm.  There is hot and cold water plumbed to one of the exterior walls if you desire to have a wash rack for animals.  There is also natural gas plumbed to an outdoor concrete pad so you can connect an outdoor barbeque grill.  The upstairs is insulated, but unfinished, allowing you to create whatever you want in that space.  The large windows give you spectacular views of your farm.One of the highlights of this property is the historic red barn.  Not many of these barns, that are over 100 years old, survive in Larimer County.  The barn is in great shape for its age.  Its main floor is 48’x48’ and includes several stalls, grain bins and a workshop.  There is a large hayloft on the second level.  There is also a cellar under the workshop if you know where to look for the hidden entrance.  A nice set of corrals attaches to several sides of the barn.  Whether you want horses, cattle, bunnies or goats, you will love the flexibility and charm the barn and corrals add to the property.This property is cross-fenced with three separate pastures or fields.  Dr. Astle had an extensive well and sprinkler system installed with which to irrigate the property.  He grew alfalfa for many years and was able to get several cuttings every year.  The included irrigation water rights truly help bring this property to life every year.  When you attend the property preview, you will notice the abundance of trees on the property.  A cottonwood tree, that many people believe is several hundred years old, grows on the eastern edge of the property.  When you own this property, you can raise anything from horses to rabbits.  You can grow hay or anything else in the warm soil.  The possibilities for this property are only limited by your imagination.The Astle Farm is minutes from Old Town Fort Collins and includes many of the amenities people living in the city enjoy.  It has natural gas and City of Fort Collins electric, water and sewer service.  The bathroom in the garage is serviced by a septic system.  While the property includes irrigation water, Dr. Astle also planned ahead and had several freeze-proof water hydrants installed around the property.  Numerous deciduous and evergreen trees surround the property.If you have been looking for the country life but did not want to leave the conveniences afforded by the City of Fort Collins, then this property is for you.  Properties like this, this close to Fort Collins are rare.  They seldom are offered for sale and stay in the same family for decades.  This is the one opportunity you will have to purchase this property.  Honestly consider the total value of a property such as this.  Imagine what it would cost to replace the land so close to Fort Collins, the large home, the massive two-story garage, the historic barn, the corrals, the water rights, the irrigation system, all the trees, the public utilities and more.  You will have one opportunity to purchase this property for your best bid on November 19, 2011.  If you truly desire to acquire this property, do your homework and determine what this property is truly worth to you.  Come prepared to place your very best bid as this is likely a once in a lifetime opportunity.  Only one person will win at the Auction.  Make your plans so you know you gave it your best shot.

Rather than have sales or special promotions they decided to let you place your best bids at PUBLIC AUCTION.  They are committed to the Auction.  Five of these home sites will sell to the highest bidder regardless of price on Auction Day.  The others will be sold subject to the owner’s confirmation of the high bid.  There will be many opportunities to purchase these home sites at never before seen prices.  Home sites in this community have sold for up to $212,000.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little River Ranch is located South of Salida and east of Poncha Springs, Colorado.  The South Fork of the Arkansas River, known to locals as “Little River”, runs through the middle of it.  When you buy a home site at Little River Ranch, you get access to the close to two thirds of a mile of the river.  If you ever wanted to walk out your back door and fly fish this is the place for you.  This is Colorado Mountain living at its finest.  With the manageable lot sizes and infrastructure, you can spend your time enjoying the Salida area and not worry about septic systems, wells and propane tanks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little River Ranch is annexed by the Town of Poncha Springs and each home site has full city utilities.  The streets and roads are paved or will be as each phase is sold.  The Town of Poncha Springs even plows when it snows.  Many have tried the country life before with the 5, 10 or 15 acre home site and found they spent all their time taking care of the property.  The .25 to 1.5 acre home sites here are perfect.  At Little River Ranch, you can spend your time exploring the surrounding San Isabel National Forest, the Arkansas River, the 14 nearby 14,000-foot mountains and historic downtown Salida.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little River Ranch invites you to become a part of its community.  Whether you plan to build this fall or in five years, take the time to investigate this rare opportunity.  In good times and in not so good times location is still the number one ingredient in property value.  Little River Ranch is seen by many as the nicest community of its type in the area.  If you have ever dreamed about owning a Colorado Mountain home site your dreams may just come true on Saturday July 11, 2009.  Opportunities like this, with today’s economic conditions, may only come along once in a lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Little River Ranch sounds like it might be right for you please attend a preview and see the amenities it, and the Salida area, have to offer.

Many people recognize the bright yellow auction brochures created by the auction marketing staff at RMEB.  RMEB won the brochure categories Antiques, Collectibles, Estate &amp;amp; General Household, Real Estate Residential or Farm and Ranch, Farm &amp;amp; Ranch Livestock, Machinery and Equipment.  They also won the top award for company promotional items.  This is not the first time RMEB has won auction advertising and marketing awards on a state level but Jaime Foote, RMEB Auction Coordinator stated, “I do believe this is the most awards we have won in a year.  It is an honor to be recognized by the CAA.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers was one of the first Colorado Auction Companies to tap into the power of the internet.  RMEB CEO David P. Whitley said, “Many of our auctions do not justify the cost of a full color brochure.  We use our two color auction brochures and postcards to drive traffic to our websites at www.whitleyauction.com and www.rmebrealty.com.”  RMEB’s website has previously been recognized as the top Colorado Auction web site.  Whitley added, “Our web sites have allowed us to dramatically increase the exposure of the auctions we conduct.  Not only do we offer live internet bidding for all of our auctions, we also post hundreds of photos of all the items for sale.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. is a full service Auction &amp;amp; Real Estate company that conducts successful Auctions, estate sales &amp;amp; liquidations in Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, Greeley and the entire states of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska onsite or at our Auction house located in Eaton Colorado using award winning Auctioneers.

Auctioneers and managers recently attended the Colorado Auctioneers Association Convention held in Denver, Colorado.

Real Estate auctions are a hot topic.  There were several opportunities to learn about new, cost efficient ways to market and sell real estate at auction.  David Whitley, RMEB CEO and lead Auctioneer said, “As the economy and real estate market has weakened, we have been inundated with requests from people to conduct real estate auctions.  We are always looking for more ways to effectively market and sell real estate in a short period.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A nationally acclaimed author and speaker presented two seminars on time management and organization.  Auctioneer Casey Giddings stated, “Our clients keep us incredibly busy.  Time management is one of our most important tools in the auction business.”  Casey also participated in the Colorado Champion Auctioneer Contest.  She made everyone at RMEB very proud of her auctioneering skills.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone at RMEB believes in constantly learning so that we can provide superior service to our clients.  The Colorado Auctioneers Association 2009 Convention was not only educational for us it was fun.  We live, breathe and sleep (when we get to sleep!) the auction business.

Auctioneer David P. Whitley CAI CES recently joined fellow members of the National Auctioneers Association (NAA) in Washington, DC for the association’s annual Auction Action on Capitol Hill Day. This annual event brings industry leaders from across the nation to meet with members of Congress to educate them about the quarter-trillion dollar live-auction industry and discuss issues of concern to professional auctioneers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Participants this year educated members of Congress about the current foreclosure crisis and the current system for disposing of foreclosed home. Contrary to popular belief, professional auctioneers do not manage the sales of foreclosed home at public auction and the reality is that the majority of foreclosure auctions fail, costing distressed homeowners their homes and equity, as well as costing the American taxpayer billions of dollars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whitley is a member of the National Auctioneers Association and the Colorado Auctioneers Association. He is the President and CEO of Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. and has been an active member in the auction industry for 23 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I was honored to join my fellow auctioneers in Washington DC to discuss with members of Congress the foreclosure crisis impacting our country and educate them about the current system which is flawed, “ said Whitley. “ There is a better solution available for homeowners and America’s taxpayers when selling federally insured homes at foreclosure auctions and I am excited to be part of the discussion and potential solution.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. and its sister company Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Realty LLC provide quality auction and auctioneering services to the Rocky Mountain Region. Through its staff, they service Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska clients that desire professional auction services and sales for real estate and personal property.

Auctioneers and staff recently attended the National Auctioneers Association Conference and Show in Nashville Tennessee.  While there, they attended educational offerings on live online auctions, promoting and marketing real estate auctions, ring man skills, employing innovative marketing techniques and more.  Auction industry leaders taught these classes.  RMEB Auctioneer Casey Giddings CAI, from Fort Collins, Colorado stated, “This is the one place professional auctioneers can come to not only learn about new auction techniques but to share what works for us as well”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David P. Whitley CAI CES, RMEB’s lead Auctioneer, was one of five auctioneers chosen to sit on a panel discussing ways to start and build a successful auction business.  He said, “Our auction company has been attending state and national auction association events for years.  We have learned from some of the best in the business.  When we have the opportunity to share what works for us with newer members of this profession we consider it an honor and a privilege.”  Over 1400 NAA members and their families attended the convention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both Giddings and Whitley competed in the International Auctioneer Contest.  Contest chairman Paul Behr CAI stated, “This group of contestants makes up some of the best auctioneers in the world”.  While neither came home with the Champion’s trophy, both did very well in the competition.  Giddings said, “Auctioneering in this contest is a very good way for me to continually work on being a better auctioneer.  It would be nice to win but it is nicer to know I am always becoming better at what I do.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. and its sister company Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Realty LLC provide quality auction and auctioneering services to the Rocky Mountain Region.  Through its staff, they service Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska clients that desire professional auction services and sales for real estate and personal property.  RMEB conducts many auctions at its 20,000 square foot Eaton Auction Center centrally located in downtown Eaton, Colorado.  There they sell tools, machinery, cars, trucks, antiques, firearms, fine art and more.  RMEB’s auction services extend beyond its main areas of Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Boulder, Longmont and Denver, Colorado into Wyoming, Nebraska and beyond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They offer live, real-time internet bidding on most of their auctions and have sold items to buyers from all over the USA, Mexico, Canada, Germany and other countries.

Casey and David will be joining over 90 auctioneers from across the world in Nashville at the 59th International Auctioneers Conference and Show to compete in the 20th International Auctioneer Championship competition.  The male and female winners of this competition are regarded by the auction industry as being the best in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These competitors will be judged on their presentation, chant, voice quality, body language and other elements of effective auctioneering.  There is also an interview segment of the competition that participants will be judged on.  The finalists will compete on Friday, July 11, 2008 before over 1,000 of their peers at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel and Nashville Convention Center in Nashville, TN.  The winners will receive a $10,000 cash prize, trophy and become the spokespersons for the National Auctioneers Association before the media and state auctioneer associations across the country.  One of the highlights of their reign as IAC champions include auctioneering at the St. Jude Toy Auction for the patients of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

Buying real estate at Public Auction is fun, fair and easy. While some potential buyers may not be familiar with the process, it is open, public and transparent. It puts all potential buyers on exactly the same level, bidding on the same property, based upon the same terms. There are many reasons a seller may choose to sell his or her real estate at auction. Real Estate Auctions benefit the seller and buyer. The Auction method is quick, efficient and fair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. One of the differences in the Auction process versus a conventional listing is that all potential buyers must complete their due diligence BEFORE executing the contract. This means BEFORE the Auction. In a conventional listing, a potential buyer typically finds a property they are interested in and enters into a contract with the seller. The buyer then has a period to perform his or her inspections of the property, have surveys checked, investigate insurance and arrange financing. If the buyer is not satisfied with something about the property or cannot arrange suitable financing, he or she can then back out of the contract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The Auction process reverses some of these items. An auction specific contract to buy and sell real estate is generally used. The seller will provide a good and clear general warranty deed to the property. The contract and a commitment to issue title insurance will be available at the previews for potential buyers to inspect. The contract will state that all taxes and utilities will be pro-rated to the day of closing. The title insurance and closing costs (which are minimal) are split between the buyer and seller. There are only two items in the contract to be determined on Auction day, the buyer or buyers and the sales price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. The seller has completed a property disclosure form that is available to all potential buyers. All potential buyers must make any inspections they desire BEFORE the Auction. This is why we schedule preview periods. We also will work with any potential buyer to allow her or him to conduct any survey, inspection or appraisal he or she may desire, at their cost. The seller wants every potential buyer to have as much information as he or she desires about this property. It is the potential buyer’s responsibility to satisfy him or herself as to all things that affect the value of this property. This puts all the potential buyers on exactly the same playing field. They will all be bidding on the same property, based upon exactly the same contract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. RMEB Realty has contracted to sell this property at Public Auction. It is the intention of the seller to sell the property to the highest bidder at the Auction. Sometimes the seller retains the right to accept or reject the high bid for a period of 48 hours after the Auction. The seller obviously cannot sell the property for $1000 but is prepared to accept a fair price. Come prepared to make your best bid on the day of the Auction or be prepared to miss out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Many people ask, “Why is there a required deposit that is non-refundable”? The seller and the brokerage firm go to a lot of expense in preparing for and marketing the property to sell at Auction. The seller wants to be sure that when a high bidder is determined at the Auction, and a contract agreed to, that that high bidder will close the sale in thirty days or less. The deposit is a tool the seller uses to make sure the terms of the contract are met. This also pre-qualifies all bidders to a certain extent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. The sale contract will require a closing for cash within thirty days of the Auction. This does not mean that a potential buyer cannot obtain a conventional mortgage. It just means that all potential buyers must have their “ducks in a row” prior to the Auction. Get pre-qualified with a lender. Have a good idea how much your lender will lend on the property you intend to purchase. Be aware that the difference between the amounts you can borrow and the final contract price will have to come from you. Many people who purchase property at Auction easily obtain mortgages and financing. Just keep in mind that thirty days from the Auction, you will have to have the entire amount to close the deal or you will lose your deposit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8 The seller has chosen to sell this property utilizing the standard 10% Buyer’s Premium. The Buyer’s Premium is a tool that Auctioneers and Sellers use to help defray the cost of the marketing and Auction. With the Buyer’s Premium, ten percent (10%) is added to the high bid price at the Auction to form the contract price. If the high bid at the Auction is $200,000, the Buyer’s Premium will be $20,000 for a total contract price of $220,000. If you only want to pay $200,000 then stop bidding at $180,000. This will result in a contract price of $198,000 saving you $2,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Who can bid? Anyone can bid. All we require is the $10,000.00 deposit and a photo ID. You then register for a bidder number and agree to the terms and conditions of the Auction. Our registration clerk will take all of your information, help you with the forms and accept your deposit check. If you are the winner, at the conclusion of the Auction, you will be required to sign the “Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate” immediately. If you are not the winning bidder, you will return to our clerk and she will return your deposit check to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. How does the bidding work? This is a live, open outcry Auction with a real, live Auctioneer. Yes, he can talk fast and yes, you will be able to understand him. Most all of the bidders will attend the live Auction. Sometimes we also have pre-qualified bidders bidding by proxy, on the telephone or live online. If this is your first time at a Public Auction, it may be somewhat intimidating to you. Do not let it be! We are here to help you. The Auctioneer is the person who will be “calling” the bids. “Ring people” assist him. These ring people are on the floor and can answer your questions and relay your bids to the Auctioneer.&lt;br /&gt;Prior to the time of the Auction, our Broker will be available to answer all your questions. Please get all your questions resolved before the Auction. Once the Auction starts, things move quickly. When the time to sell this property arrives, the Broker will make some announcements. We record the entire Auction for the protection of all involved. After the Broker has completed the announcements, the Auctioneer will open the Auction.&lt;br /&gt;Many people are afraid they will buy a property by scratching their nose. This never happens. The Auctioneer and ring people only accept intentionally placed bids. This is why many times you will hear the Auctioneer ask, “Was that a bid?” The Auctioneer will start the Auction by asking for a number, let us say $200,000. If you want to bid that price then raise your bidder number or signal to a ring person. If the Auctioneer does not have a bidder at $200,000, he will ask for less money until someone opens the bidding. Once there is an opening bid, the Auction is on! This is when the process speeds up. Be prepared to make your best bid but also know where you want to stop. Once the bidding process has started, many properties are sold in less than ONE MINUTE. You have to remember, there will only be one winner when the Auction is completed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. For how much will the property sell? This is the most asked question we face when conducting a real estate Auction. We never know the answer. In fact, we often have a contest where people who attend the previews may enter their opinion of the sale price of the property for a chance to win $100.00. We could have three different appraisers appraise any given property and they would all come up with a different opinion of its value. The bidders will determine the sale price of the property. It is the ultimate in our free market society. The Auction process is used to determine the value of everything from pork bellies to treasury bills and Microsoft stock. A properly marketed real estate Auction determines the value of a given property at that particular point in time. The high bidder will leave the Auction knowing he or she paid only one bid more than the next highest bidder bid. The Auction method is quick, efficient and fair. Buying real estate at Auction is fun, fair and easy!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Copyright 2006 RMEB Inc.

Whitley CAI CES recently attended a special long range planning meeting for the National Auctioneers Association held in Spokane, Washington June 3-5, 2008. Incoming NAA president Randy Wells chose twenty auctioneers from across the United States to work with him to develop a long-term plan for the continued success of the NAA. He employed a professional facilitator to help the group arrive at twenty long-term goals the association should strive to attain in the coming years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whitley said, “I was honored to be asked to be a member of this group. The auction business has been affected by many changes the last few years.” The twenty members of the group represented some of the world’s largest, most successful auction companies. “I may have been the member from the smallest auction company. I was pretty impressed to be sitting in a room with a vice-president from Ritchie Brothers. Even though there were many powerful auctioneers there, I really felt like my opinion mattered,” Whitley added. He stated, “We spent three long days talking about ways the NAA can better serve its members. I believe that any organization that serves its members well will increase its membership in the long run.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. and its auctioneers are members of the National Auctioneers Association, The Colorado Auctioneers Association and the Wyoming Auctioneers Association. Three of RMEB’s auctioneers hold the prestigious Certified Auctioneers Institute CAI designation. Whitley said, “Successful auction are our business. We know that our membership in professional organizations keeps us on the leading edge of the auction profession. We are always looking for better ways to serve the needs of our auction clients.” He added, “Things like this long range planning meeting are an invaluable networking tool for us. Meeting these other auctioneers and becoming their friends gives RMEB a nation-wide network of expertise to draw from.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Inc. and its sister company Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Realty LLC provide quality auction and auctioneering services to the Rocky Mountain Region.
