How much do I need for a down payment?

While a 20% down payment is ideal to avoid Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), it is not always required. Many conventional loans allow for as little as 3% to 5% down. FHA loans require 3.5%, and VA loans (for eligible veterans) can require 0% down.

Who pays the real estate agent fees?

In most traditional real estate transactions, the seller pays the broker fees for both the listing agent and the buyer's agent out of the proceeds of the sale. However, recent industry changes mean buyer representation agreements are required before touring homes.

What are closing costs and how much should I budget?

Closing costs typically range from 2% to 5% of the home's purchase price. These include lender fees, title insurance, appraisal fees, property taxes, and homeowners insurance prepayments.

How long does the home buying process take?

Once your offer is accepted, the typical closing period in Colorado is 30 to 45 days. The time it takes to find the right home varies greatly depending on market inventory.

Should I get a home inspection?

Absolutely. A home inspection is one of the most critical steps in the buying process. It protects you from hidden defects and provides an opportunity to ask the seller for repairs or credits before closing.

Winning in the Littleton Market

We leverage our experience to position you as the strongest buyer, from the first showing to the closing table.

Showing & Offer Strategy

When we tour homes, we look past the staging to evaluate the "bones" of the house—roof age, HVAC systems, and potential red flags. When it's time to write an offer, we structure terms that appeal to sellers while fiercely protecting your interests, using data-driven pricing to ensure you don't overpay.

Negotiation & Closing

Getting under contract is just the beginning. We guide you through the inspection objection and resolution process, navigating potential repairs or credits. We monitor the appraisal, coordinate with the lender and title company, and ensure a smooth path to closing day.
