5 Reasons to Use a Real Estate Agent to Sell in Colorado

Colorado law does not require a real estate agent to sell a house, and a seller who hires one gets five things a for-sale-by-owner seller has to do alone: a price built from sold comps, a listing on the MLS every buyer's agent searches, someone tracking the 20-plus deadlines in the Colorado contract, a negotiator at the inspection and appraisal, and a marketing plan with professional photos.

Buying a Lakefront Home in Colorado: What to Know

Colorado's lakefront homes sit almost entirely on reservoirs rather than natural lakes, which changes two things buyers need to know before falling for the view: most reservoir shoreline is owned by a water authority or metro district, not the homeowner, and the "water rights" that come with the lot rarely include any right to draw water for irrigation. A lakefront or near-lake home in the Denver
