Moving to Denver
/I am a Colorado transplant myself and I totally understand why so many people want to call Denver home: beautiful mountains, outdoor activities + lots of sunshine!
Buying a home from out of state can be a little intimidating, but if you have a good Realtor who can educate you on the area, walk you through the buying process and step in for you while you’re remote, it can take the stress out of the process and you can have a home ready for move-in when you relocate! Check out some tips below👇🏼
✖️GET TO KNOW THE AREA | Consider what you’re looking for in a home: Budget? Suburbs or city neighborhood? Historic home or a newer build? Walkable to retail/restaurants or near trails/open space? Proximity to jobs? Good schools? If you tell me what you’re looking for, I can suggest areas that may be a good fit. I also have some fantastic neighborhood guides so you can learn about average home costs, area features + favorite local spots!
✖️LEARN ABOUT DENVER’S MARKET | Denver has a healthy and sometimes competitive real estate market, and can be very different than other regions. The buying process, under contract period, and closing can also vary substantially from state to state. It’s important to know what to expect and to have a Realtor that will ensure you’re informed and comfortable.
✖️MAKE A QUICK TRIP TO VISIT | A ton of research can be done online, but it can also be helpful to see areas and homes in person. I can show you around neighborhoods, point out nearby amenities/parks/schools, and tour some homes so you can get a feel for the styles and prices in different areas. Even if you’re not ready to shop yet, this can give you a feel for the market and give you confidence when the time is right. If you are ready to shop, we can fit several showings into a short period of time if necessary.
✖️UTILIZE TECHNOLOGY | If a great home comes on the market, I’m happy to go check it out for you! FaceTime and video tours can be very helpful if you need to make a purchase remotely or during inspections!
