Choosing An Agent
Your Agent Will Walk You Through The Entire Process.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT Real Estate Agent
Your Buying Experience Starts with the Right Partner
Buying a home or investment property is exciting—but it can also be complex. Between contracts, deadlines, legal details, and market conditions, having a great agent on your side makes all the difference.
That’s why we work closely with our sister company, St. Vrain Realty, where over 10 experienced local broker associates are ready to guide you every step of the way.
What to Look for in an Agent
Not all agents are created equal. Here's what to keep in mind:
- Full-time focus – Choose someone who treats real estate as a profession, not a hobby.
- Local knowledge – Your agent should know the ins and outs of Longmont, Boulder County, and surrounding areas.
- Availability matters – Make sure they’re accessible when you need them—especially evenings and weekends.
- Experience + education – Ask how long they’ve been in the business and how they stay on top of legal and market updates.
- Clear communication – Fast responses and straight answers are key. You want someone who listens and advocates for you.

Tips For Buying The Perfect Home
Don’t Max Out Your Budget
Just because you’ve been approved for a max amount, doesn't mean you should spend it all on the home's sale price. You will want to set some of that aside for closing costs, taxes and potential home repairs or remodeling.
Get To Know The Area
Make sure the neighborhood works for you and your family - are you close to schools and is shopping conveniently located? Location is important because it’s the one feature that can’t be changed.
Don’t Skip The Inspection
Inspections are worth their weight in gold and will draw attention to problems you may not otherwise see, giving you peace of mind and letting you make more informed decisions about your purchase.
Get Pre-Approved
Getting pre-approved by a lender lets the seller know you are serious and ready to purchase a home and that you are not just window shopping. Check out our list of recommended lenders here.
Make a List of Deal Breakers
Know what you can live with and what you cannot live without and also those things that can be taken care of with a simple remodel. If you need a 4 bedroom home, don't buy one with 2 that requires a massive addition which can break your budget.
Look At The Age Of Appliances & Other Systems
Some of the most expensive features of a home are Appliances, HVAC, Hot Water Heater, Septic/Well, and Roof. You should pay attention to their age and whether they have required service. You may even be able to get the seller to add a home warranty.
Check For HOA Requirements
Most neighborhoods have HOAs that govern what you can and can't do - be sure you know what the rules are for your neighborhood, and the fees associated with having an HOA. They are usually listed as annual fees.

Resources For Longmont Home Buyers
The journey to homeownership starts by understanding how much you can afford. One major thing to consider is your down payment, if any. Many consumers believe it's impossible to buy a home without at least 20 percent down. But thanks to various government-sponsored programs, many people can now buy a house with as little as 3.5 percent toward a down payment. Veterans of the U.S. military have zero-down programs available.
