Relocation questions
Can I buy a home in Colorado without seeing it in person?
Yes. Brett tours each home for you on video, live or recorded. Most buyers still make two short trips, one to choose neighborhoods and one to see the finalists.
How does closing work if I'm out of state?
You can sign and close from wherever you are. Closing usually takes 21 to 30 days after the contract is signed.
What's different about buying in Colorado?
A few things to plan for: radon testing, getting hail and wildfire insurance quotes early, metro district taxes in some newer areas, and the inspection objection deadline in the Colorado contract. Brett walks you through each one.
