I'm Brian Lee Burke, and I've been a REALTOR since 2003, with 1,000+ homes sold with my team at The Kenna Group at Keller Williams DTC. We work with buyers from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs. If you're buying in Fort Collins, here's how I'd approach it, with MLS numbers I pulled on October 29, 2026.
The short version
On October 29, 2026, Fort Collins had 675 homes for sale. Over the prior 12 months, 2,426 sold at a median of $565,000, and the median home sold at 100% of its last list price. A buyer's agent works for you under a written agreement on Colorado's state-approved form, and you agree on how they're paid before you tour.
Fort Collins had 675 homes for sale on October 29, 2026: 470 single-family homes, 144 condos and 53 townhomes. Another 183 were under contract or pending, and 45 of the homes for sale were new construction. The Census Bureau estimates the city at 171,500 residents (July 1, 2025).
MLS data pulled October 29, 2026. Sales from October 29, 2025 to October 29, 2026, Fort Collins city search, residential.
449 of those 2,426 homes (about 19%) sold above their last list price. Homes for sale on October 29 averaged 77 days on market, so there's room to negotiate on some and none on others. That's where a buyer's agent earns their keep.

In Colorado, brokers give you a Definitions of Working Relationships disclosure that explains the choices: buyer agency, seller agency or transaction-brokerage. If you hire a buyer's agent, you sign the Colorado Real Estate Commission's Exclusive Right-to-Buy Listing Contract, which comes in buyer agency and transaction-broker versions; the Division of Real Estate posts a version for use on or after January 1, 2026.
That agreement says who represents you, for how long, and how your agent is paid. Since August 2024, MLS rules have required a written agreement with your agent before you tour homes, so we settle it up front. Then my job is to find the right homes, check what the MLS doesn't tell you, write a strong offer and negotiate inspection and appraisal for you.

Yes. MLS rules since August 2024 require a written agreement before touring. In Colorado that's the Commission-approved Exclusive Right-to-Buy Listing Contract.
It's set out in your written agreement. Compensation is negotiable, and we agree on it before we tour.
