WELCOME
Welcome to the fall issue of Denver Home Living Magazine! My
vision for this publication began as a 36-page magazine tailored
to the needs of current and future homeowners in the Denver
Metropolitan area featuring local businesses, professionals,
philanthropies, and educators. However, based on the feedback
from our readers, it has grown to much more than that and actually
made me realize why I have this passion to seek out and work with
other truly great professionals.

REFINACING VS. BUYING A NEW HOME
8 AMERICAN ARBOR CARE: TIP-TOP SHAPE
9 TEN WAYS TO SCREW UP YOUR HOME LOAN
The common theme we hear from readers is that they are actively
seeking a community of local experts they can trust. They want
professionals who bring experience and expertise rather than simply
pay a fee to get in a publication or on a list. They want to work with
small businesses that actually care about establishing a business
relationship with future work instead of just one job.

11 JILLIAN HARRIS: GIRLS AFTERNOON
14 AMANDA FORREST: LUXURY FIREPLACES
16 THE RESPONSIBILITY TO BE IRRESPONSIBLE
28 CLOTHES TO KIDS: SERVING DENVER FAMILIES A friend asked me why I didn’t call a specific big tree trimming/
lawn care company in Denver since it would surely advertise
in Denver Home Living. My response was that I don’t want just
anyone. I want small-business owners that I know personally, whose
services I have used, and most importantly, whom I trust. In short,
I want Paul Smith and Heather Vigil of American Arbor Care, who
I got to know about fifteen years ago when I coached Paul’s son
Tyler, and then began using American Arbor Care to take care of
our trees. That is my passion and the real value Denver Home Living
provides to our readers, and the response has been phenomenal.
