A sales contract is your written pledge, the promise of a new beginning in a place you’ll soon call home. I’ll be there to make sure you understand every term, every contour on this map before you sign. This contract will be completed once we find the home you’re set on.
Earnest Money: The Good Faith Deposit
Your earnest money is like a trusty handshake, a symbol of your commitment to the journey ahead. In Colorado’s spirited market, it’s held by a title company or brokerage, serving as a trusted custodian on this adventure. The amount varies & will be determined by the seller.

The title company ensures the land you’re claiming is rightfully yours. No unexpected claims, no liens – just clear skies and the green light to move forward.
