Launch with clear communication

Negotiate and close
I compare every offer on price, financing, concessions and deadlines, then track inspection, appraisal and title dates and send reminders so nothing slips while you pack.
Results sellers describe: one seller wrote that their home sold in 36 days while others in the neighborhood took nearly twice as long. Another sold after two failed deals. Read the reviews.
What it costs to sell in Colorado
Most seller costs are negotiable and are settled in the contract. Here is who usually pays what at a Colorado closing, so there are no surprises on your settlement statement.
| Cost | Who usually pays | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Listing brokerage compensation | Seller | Set in your listing agreement and negotiable. |
| Buyer agent compensation | Negotiable | Set in the buyer’s written agreement. A seller may offer to cover some or all of it. |
| Owner’s title insurance | Seller, commonly in Colorado | Negotiable in the contract. |
| Closing fee | Often split | Charged by the title company for handling the closing. |
| Property tax proration | Both | Colorado taxes are paid in arrears, so the title company prorates the current year between buyer and seller. |
| HOA transfer and status fees | Set in the contract | Varies by HOA and management company. |
| Mortgage payoff and liens | Seller | Paid from your proceeds at closing. |
Ask your title company for an estimated seller net sheet before you list, and we will review it together line by line.

Questions sellers ask me most
Straight answers for Castle Rock homeowners thinking about selling. Have a different question? Ask me directly.
How long does it take to sell a house in Castle Rock right now?
Should I make repairs or updates before I list?
Focus on what buyers actually notice: condition, cleanliness, light and obvious repairs. My Seller Staging Guide walks through it room by room. Many Castle Rock homes have been re-roofed after hail, and buyers’ inspectors look at roof history, so have roof records ready.
How much does it cost to sell a home in Colorado?
Typical seller costs include listing brokerage compensation, any buyer agent compensation you agree to, the owner’s title insurance policy (commonly paid by the seller in Colorado), part of the closing fee, HOA transfer fees and your loan payoff. Property taxes are prorated because Colorado taxes are paid in arrears. Ask your title company for a seller net sheet.
Can you help me sell my home and buy the next one?
Yes. Many of my clients buy and sell at the same time, and several of my reviews come from them. We plan the timing together, including closing and possession dates in your contract, so you are not stuck between homes.
