Time To Start House Hunting!
Once you've secured the right agent and organized your finances, it's time to start shopping.
Explore
Drive around the Colorado Springs neighborhoods and communities that interest you to get a feel for the area and browse listings online as well. Found something you like? Your agent can schedule a showing right away. Be sure to ask about the long-term resale value of any property you're considering.
Narrow Your Search
Work with your agent to define your must-haves: number of bedrooms and bathrooms, yard space, school district, and anything else that matters to you. The clearer your criteria, the faster your agent can zero in on the right properties.
It's Time to Buy
Once you've found the right property, your agent's negotiating skills come into play during the offer process. They'll help you analyze potential costs and craft a strong, well-informed offer. During negotiations, your agent will draft the purchase agreement, covering home warranty terms, escrow arrangements, and title details, while advising you on contingencies, local regulations, and standard practices. Ultimately, the final terms and price are always your decision.
When you're ready to get started, call us at 719.359.4558 or complete our short contact form and one of our agents will be in touch.

Tips For Buying a Home in Colorado Springs
Don't Max Out Your Budget
Being approved for a certain loan amount doesn't mean you should spend all of it on the purchase price. Leave room for closing costs, taxes, and potential repairs or upgrades.
Get to Know the Area
Make sure the neighborhood truly works for your lifestyle, proximity to schools, commute times, and nearby shopping all matter.
Don't Skip the Home Inspection
A thorough inspection is invaluable. It surfaces issues you might not catch on your own, giving you peace of mind and the information you need to make a confident decision. Furthermore, a home inspection report is great leverage when negotiating with a seller.
Get Pre-Approved
A pre-approval shows sellers you're serious and ready to move forward, not just browsing listings.
Make a List of Deal Breakers
Know what you can live with, what you can't, and what's an easy fix versus a budget-breaker. If you need four bedrooms, don't buy a two-bedroom expecting a major addition to solve it.
Check the Age of Appliances and Major Systems
Appliances, HVAC, water heaters, septic/well systems, and roofing are among the most expensive components of a home. Pay attention to their age and service history, and consider negotiating a home warranty with the seller.
Check HOA Requirements
Many Colorado Springs neighborhoods have HOAs with specific rules and annual fees. Know what you're agreeing to before you buy.

Resources For Colorado Springs Home Buyers
The path to homeownership starts with understanding what you can afford. Your down payment is a major factor, and while many buyers assume 20% down is required, various government-sponsored programs allow qualified buyers to put down as little as 3.5% with down payment assistance. Veterans may even qualify for zero-down programs.
