Co-buying Realtors · real estate agents
Best Realtors and real estate agents for co-buying a home in Colorado: tenants in common vs joint tenancy, the co-owner agreement, lending with co-borrowers.
Co-buying is two or more people who are not married buying one home together: friends, partners, siblings, a parent and an adult child, or two households splitting a bigger house. REALTOR® Brian Lee Burke, the hardest working man in real estate, and our team of real estate agents at The Kenna Group at Keller Williams DTC have closed purchases for unmarried co-buyers across the Denver metro, and we bring in a Colorado attorney for the agreement itself. The best Realtor for co-buying a home in Colorado gets three things settled before the offer: how title will be held, what the co-ownership agreement says about money and exits, and how the lender will qualify every borrower. On Oct 25, 2026, 2,382 homes with four or more bedrooms were listed at $700,000 or less in the six-county Denver metro, the kind of house two incomes buy together. Call or text 303-955-4220.

Short answer
Yes. Any two or more adults can hold title together, as tenants in common (unequal shares allowed, each share passes by will) or as joint tenants with right of survivorship (the deed must say so). Every borrower goes on the loan, and a written co-ownership agreement, drafted by a Colorado attorney, says who pays what and how someone exits.
Every agent on the team walks co-buyers through title, the agreement and the loan before the search; the attorney and the lender you choose handle the documents. REALTOR® Brian Lee Burke, the hardest working man in real estate, leads the team; every file also gets a transaction coordinator, and Keller Williams Realty DTC, LLC supervises every contract. Call any agent directly, or call 303-955-4220 and a live person answers.

| Way to hold title | How it works | Watch |
|---|---|---|
| Tenants in common | Each owner holds a share, equal or not (say 60/40 when one person brings more cash). A share can be sold or left by will. This is the default in Colorado when the deed says nothing else. | A co-owner can sell or will their share to someone you did not choose. The agreement needs a right of first refusal. |
| Joint tenants with right of survivorship | Equal shares; when one owner dies the others take the share automatically. Colorado requires the deed to say "as joint tenants" or "with right of survivorship" (C.R.S. 38-31-101). | Unequal cash contributions are not reflected in title; put them in the agreement. |
| An LLC owns the home | The co-buyers own the LLC. Common for pure investment, rare for a home you live in. | Owner-occupied loans and the homestead exemption do not work the same way; talk to a lender and an attorney first. |
We are real estate agents, not attorneys. A Colorado real estate attorney drafts the agreement; the cost is small next to a partition case.
Many of our buyers use Mike Oswald at Rate and trust him. We are not affiliated, you can use any lender you choose, and we receive nothing for the introduction.

Two incomes reach the four-bedroom band that one income in the metro often cannot; a duplex lets each co-buyer have a door of their own. Counties: Denver, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Jefferson, Broomfield.
Who brings what to closing, who pays what each month, and the exit plan, on paper before any showing.
A Colorado attorney for the co-ownership agreement and deed language; one lender who pre-approves every borrower.
Two primary suites, separate levels, a lock-off basement or a legal duplex, by keyword and plan.
All buyers on the contract, earnest money sourced, and the deed vesting instruction sent to title early.
Every borrower signs; the agreement is signed the same week; deadlines tracked by a transaction coordinator.
The one who settles title, the agreement and the loan before the search, and brings in an attorney for the documents. The Kenna Group publishes 5.0 stars on 283 Google reviews, an A+ BBB rating and a license held since 2003.
Tenants in common when shares are unequal or each person wants to leave their share by will; joint tenancy when you want the survivor to take the home automatically. A Colorado attorney confirms the choice for your situation.
CHFA and metroDPA allow co-borrowers; every borrower's income counts toward the limit, and most down payment assistance programs we work with start at a 620 credit score. Between 580 and 619, you'll usually need your own down payment. Under 580, start with credit help first.
The agreement sets it: notice, an appraisal to set the price, a buyout period for the others, and a sale if no one buys. Without one, a court-ordered partition sale is the fallback.
Everyone on the loan is fully liable. A person can be on title and not on the loan, or on the loan and not on title, and each choice has consequences a lender and an attorney should explain first.
