Most buyers in the Denver Metro area close in about 30-45 days after their offer is accepted. If you’re paying cash, it can be quicker. The longest part is finding the right home and completing inspections and loan approval.
Get pre-approved for a mortgage. A pre-approval tells you how much you can afford and makes your offer stronger when you find the perfect Denver home. I can connect you with trusted local lenders if you need recommendations.
You don’t need 20%! Many buyers purchase Denver homes with as little as 3-5% down. There are also first-time homebuyer programs in Colorado that can help with down payment assistance.
As of now, the average single-family home in Denver is around $600,000, while condos and townhomes often range from $350,000-$500,000. Prices vary by neighborhood, so I’ll help you find the best fit for your budget.
If you find a home you love and can afford, don’t wait! You can buy now and refinance later if rates drop. Waiting could mean paying more if Denver home prices rise.
Denver is still in demand, but it’s not as wild as a couple of years ago. Some homes still get multiple offers, especially in hot neighborhoods, but buyers now have more negotiating power.
No! In Denver, the seller typically pays realtor commissions, so having me represent you doesn’t cost you anything extra.
Once your offer is accepted, we’ll hire a licensed inspector to check the home for major issues. If something comes up, we can negotiate repairs or a credit before closing.
It depends on your lifestyle!

Expect around 2-3% of the purchase price. That covers your appraisal, loan fees, and title insurance. I’ll provide an estimate early so there are no surprises.
I can prepare a free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to show what similar homes in your neighborhood have sold for. This helps us price your home to sell quickly and for top dollar.
Not always, but small updates—like fresh paint, yard cleanup, and minor repairs—can make a big difference. I’ll help you decide which improvements are worth it.
Well-priced homes in good condition can sell in a few weeks, while others may take 30-60 days depending on the market.
Spring and early summer are busiest, but homes sell year-round. Some sellers do well in the winter because there’s less competition.
Staging can help buyers imagine themselves living there. Even simple things like rearranging furniture and adding fresh decor can help your home stand out online.
Most sellers pay around 5-6% of the sales price, which is split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents.
Yes, it’s best if you’re not home so buyers feel comfortable looking around. We’ll schedule showings at convenient times for you.
If it doesn’t sell quickly, we’ll review pricing, marketing strategy, and buyer feedback. A small adjustment can often bring in new offers.
Not always. Buyers may ask for repairs or a credit, but everything is negotiable. I’ll guide you through the process.
Absolutely! Most Denver sellers live in their homes while on the market. We’ll just work together to keep it clean and ready for showings.
