Most buyers wait until inspection to find out the hard stuff. I’d rather you know the right questions before you ever fall in love with a home. 🏡
Because in Boulder County, what you see on the tour is only part of the story.
The mechanicals tell you how the home has been cared for.
The permit history tells you whether the renovation was done right or just done fast.
The water source matters more than most buyers realize once you get outside city limits toward the foothills, Lafayette, Louisville, or Erie.
And the HOA documents, especially the meeting minutes, will tell you things the listing never will.
That last one is the one that catches people.
A pending special assessment on a $2 million home can mean a five figure bill showing up after closing that nobody warned you about.
These are the things I walk through with every single buyer before we ever get to inspection.
Because the inspection is too late to be asking some of these questions.
If you are buying in Boulder County and want someone who is going to protect you through the whole process, not just help you find the house, that is exactly what I do.
