Buying a Home

From the First Search to the Keys in Your Hand

Finding the right home in the Denver metro takes more than a search filter. We help you understand the neighborhoods, the numbers and every step in between.

Buying With Us

More Than a Home Search

Bedrooms, bathrooms and a yard are the easy part. The harder questions are which neighborhood fits the way you live, what a fair offer looks like in today's market, and what to watch for after the inspection.

We know the schools, the commutes and the communities across the metro, and we work with trusted lenders, inspectors and title companies so the process after your offer is accepted runs smoothly.

The Process

How Buying a Home Works

Step 1

Get Pre-Approved

Know your budget before you fall in love with a house. We can connect you with a trusted local lender.

Step 2

Pick Your Areas

Thornton or Arvada, Golden or Longmont. We help you narrow the map to the places that fit your commute, schools and lifestyle.

Step 3

Tour Homes

We set up showings around your schedule and give you honest feedback on every house, including the things that are easy to miss.

Step 4

Make an Offer

We look at recent sales and the competition, then build an offer that is strong without overpaying.

Step 5

Inspection and Appraisal

We walk you through the inspection results and the appraisal so you know what to ask for and what to let go.

Step 6

Closing Day

We stay with you through the final walkthrough and the paperwork, right up to the keys.
