Services
Thoughtful guidance for Colorado STR investors
Specialist real estate support for buying and selling short-term rental, Airbnb and vacation properties — with honesty, care and a genuine understanding of investing.
For buyers
Buying a short-term rental or vacation home
Buying an STR isn’t quite like buying a family home. Alongside the usual questions, you need to know whether short-term rentals are permitted, how guests will experience the property and what it will really cost to run. I keep all of that in view from day one.
- Clarifying your goals: income, personal use, or both
- Comparing Colorado areas by local rules, demand drivers and access
- Pre-screening properties for STR permissions and HOA restrictions
- Gathering comparable rental listings for your own analysis
- Offer strategy, negotiation, inspection and due-diligence support
- Introductions to lenders, managers, cleaners and designers

FAQ
Questions I’m often asked
Can you tell me how much a property will earn?
No one can promise what a short-term rental will earn, and I won’t. What I can do is help you gather comparable listings, point you to reputable data sources, share what I know about the local market and help you think through expenses — so you can build your own conservative estimates, ideally with your accountant or financial adviser.
Are short-term rentals allowed everywhere in Colorado?
No. Rules are set locally and vary widely between cities, counties and HOAs. Some areas cap the number of licences or require the property to be your primary residence; others have zoning limits or waitlists. We’ll check the current rules for every property before you commit.
I live out of state (or overseas). Can I still buy with you?
Absolutely. I can share video walk-throughs, coordinate inspections and keep you updated in writing, and we can plan calls around your time zone. Many closings can be handled remotely — your title company will confirm the options.
How does working with you as a buyer’s agent work?
We’ll start with a conversation about your goals. Before we tour homes together, we’ll sign a written buyer agreement that sets out how I’m compensated — so everything is clear and agreed upfront.
Can you recommend lenders, property managers and cleaners?
Yes. I’m happy to introduce you to local professionals I know, and you’re always free to choose your own. It’s worth speaking with more than one lender, especially about financing for investment or second-home properties.
Do you help sellers too?
Yes. If you’re selling a vacation home or short-term rental, I’ll help you present it to buyers clearly, including the information investors will want to see.
