A Step-by-step Process To Purchasing A Home In Colorado Springs

  • Please fill out the online questionnaire as completely as possible. This will give me an opportunity to search for specific properties and give you information, including photos, prior to your house hunting trip in Colorado Springs. Obviously, the more informed you are, the less stress you will feel during house hunting.

  • Call my preferred lender, Dave Oliver at First Horizon Home Loans (719) 594-2000 ext. 233 or 1-800-257-5955. The sole purpose is to get pre-qualified for a price range comfortable to you. This does not mean that you must use a specific lender. Obviously, you will shop for the best rates and terms suited to your specific needs. Pre-qualification also helps when negotiating a purchase. The Seller knows he is dealing with a purchaser that has been financially pre-qualified.

  • Let me know as soon as you have made your travel plans. I will make arrangements to meet with you upon your arrival and give you an introductory tour of the city. This tour is designed to familiarize you with the "lay of the land." I will point out some of the highlights and show you shopping areas, schools and the various neighborhoods (including homes).

  • Once your have focused on a particular home(s), I will provide you with comparable sales data on homes that have recently sold in that neighborhood to give you an indication of market values.

  • When you are ready to make an offer, I will prepare the necessary documents. Our standard purchase contract has contingencies relating to a) financing; b) title; and c) inspections. I also have an addendum covering appraisals, warranties, special districts, and other relevant data.

  • Upon acceptance of an offer to purchase, I will coordinate and monitor financing, inspection, title review, and any other appropriate matters, to include legal review, if desired.

  • I will recommend that you register your children with the appropriate schools. Depending on the school district and specific school, there have been occasions that some schools have at capacity. Register your children as soon as you have an address. You will need a copy of your lease or a copy of your settlement statement sheet to register for school.

  • Prior to closing, I will advise you to: a) arrange for homeowners insurance; b) make arrangements for utilities, cable TV, telephone services, and trash collection.

  • I will assist you in coordinating a date and hour of closing suited to your requirements. Normally, date of possession is the same date as closing.

  • After closing, I will do my best to help you get situated in your new home town, and will continue to be a source of support and a resource for any of your needs during the time you live in Colorado Springs.
