Eco-Friendly Home Renovations in Colorado: Real Costs

The renovations that cut the most from a Colorado energy bill are insulation, air sealing and a heat-pump HVAC system, not the upgrades that get the most attention.

Selling Your Colorado Home As-Is: Pros, Cons and Net Price

Selling a Colorado home as-is means the seller will not make repairs or give repair credits, and the buyer prices that into the offer at 10% to 30% below what the repaired house would bring.
