Answers for buyers, sellers & investors.
The questions Rhonda hears most — answered straight. Still stuck? Ask the 24/7 assistant in the corner, or call (303) 900-8206.
Buying
It depends on the loan. Conventional loans can go as low as 3% down, FHA is typically 3.5%, and VA/USDA can be 0% for those who qualify. On a $600k Denver home, that's roughly $18k–$21k plus closing costs. Rhonda can connect you with lenders and walk through first-time-buyer and down-payment-assistance programs.
From pre-approval to keys, most Denver purchases take 30–45 days once you're under contract. Finding the right home varies, but with a tight search and fast responses, many buyers are under contract within a few weeks of starting.
Yes — always. A pre-approval tells you your true budget and makes your offer far stronger in a competitive market. In Denver, sellers rarely take an offer seriously without one. It only takes a day or two to line up.
Selling
With real, current comps — recently sold homes like yours in your neighborhood — adjusted for condition, upgrades, and market momentum. No vanity numbers. The goal is to price it so it sells for the most the market will bear, fast.
Not always. Rhonda will tell you which small upgrades and staging actually pay back at the offer table and which ones to skip. Sometimes a weekend of decluttering and a few fixes returns thousands; sometimes you're better off selling as-is.
Typical seller costs include agent commission, title and closing fees, and any negotiated concessions. Rhonda gives you a clear net-sheet up front so you know exactly what you'll walk away with — no surprises at closing.
Investing
We run the numbers before you ever make an offer — rent comps, expenses, vacancy, and financing — so you know the real cap rate and cash-on-cash return. Rhonda scouts on-the-ground for off-market and pre-market opportunities across the Front Range.
A 1031 exchange lets you defer capital-gains tax by rolling the proceeds from one investment property into another 'like-kind' property within specific timelines. Rhonda coordinates with your qualified intermediary and CPA to keep the deal on track.
