Buying with Lisa
Buy the right land, not just the right house.
From a Riverfront Park condominium to a working ranch, the diligence is what protects you.
The process
How a purchase comes together.
Define the brief
Location, land, commute, horses, finishes and the non-negotiables. Lisa asks the questions that save you weekends of driving.
Financing that fits the property
Acreage, unusual construction, wells and septic can all affect lending. Talk with a lender early — and if you are a veteran or on active duty, ask about VA financing.
Find it, including off-market
MLS searches plus Compass Coming Soon and Private Exclusive listings, and Lisa’s own network for properties that never reach the public sites.
Due diligence
Inspection, sewer scope or septic, radon, well permits and water rights, surveys, covenants and insurance — scheduled in the right order inside your deadlines.
Negotiate and close
A clear offer strategy, steady communication with the other side, and a calm path through appraisal and closing.
Relocation
Moving to Colorado
Lisa can help you compare the city, the foothills and the plains — commute, elevation, winter driving, utilities and lifestyle — before you choose where to look.
Military
PCS moves
A Military Relocation Professional (MRP), Lisa works with service members and veterans moving to Fort Carson, the Air Force Academy, the Space Force bases in Colorado Springs and the Denver area.
Second homes
Mountain & resort property
A Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist with eleven years running a Summit County rental company, Lisa knows what it takes to own a home you are not always in.
Horse property
Buying for horses?
Water, pasture, barns, arenas and access deserve their own checklist.
