How Long Does It Take?

A Realistic Home Buying Timeline for Colorado

How long does it take to buy a home in Colorado?

For most buyers, the process from active search to closing takes 60 to 90 days once pre-approved. But for relocating professionals on tight timelines, Steve Charlett has moved clients through the process significantly faster.

Here's a typical timeline Steve walks clients through:

Weeks 1–2: Pre-approval, define search criteria, begin touring homes Weeks 2–4: Make an offer, negotiate, go under contract Weeks 4–7: Inspection, appraisal, loan processing Weeks 7–8+: Final walkthrough, closing day For physicians and executives moving from out of state, Steve often works through virtual tours, video calls, and coordinated visit weekends to keep the process moving, even from 2,000 miles away.

Steve has guided relocating professionals through this process hundreds of times. His job is to make a complex, high-stakes purchase feel manageable.
