 Why Choose Andy Ahroon?

 · Experience
I purchased my very first home in Colorado Springs when I was only 19 years old.  Since that time, I have bought and sold many personal investment homes.  In 1985, I became a full-time Real Estate Broker and joined Metro Brokers in 1989.   The amount of real estate transactions I have closed since that time number in the thousands, and I consistently close over $20 million annually in residential sales.  With me, you will have an experienced broker with a comprehensive understanding of the Metro Denver area.  I am a seasoned, skilled negotiator and will effectively manage the buying and selling process to help you get the best possible price with the most favorable terms in the shortest period of time.

Licensed Real Estate Broker since 1980

 · Ethical
Two law firms have consistently hired me to work on their estate sales.  They are the Law Office of Sagrillo Hammond Dineen & Kostettler and the Law Office of David Kirch.  I would be more than happy to give you their phone numbers for references.  Additionally, I serve on an ad-hoc basis as a panel judge for the Colorado Real Estate Commission for ethic dispute hearings.  Only Realtors®  who are trusted, ethical and competent are asked to serve in this important position.

 · Leadership Skills
In 1992 I served as the President of Metro Brokers (Serving as President of this powerful association of 750+ independent Colorado real estate companies, Andy has earned the respect of his peers. During contract negotiations, Andy's clients reap the benefit of his reputation within the real estate industry for honesty and for finding win-win solutions). In 1998-1999, I served as the President of the South Metro Denver Realtors Assn.  Additionally, I have held numerous other Board positions with both the South Metro Denver Realtors Association and Metro Brokers.  In 2008, I was nominated "Realtor of the Year" by the South Metro Denver Realtors Association.

 · Availability
I am a full-time real estate broker (7 days a week).  All of my telephone numbers will be available for you to contact me.  When you call our office, our receptionist will assist you with your needs (yes, a real person actually answers our phones!).  Many real estate offices rely upon a computer answering system that will run you through a recording maze with endless options of extensions before you are even able to access your agent´s phone.  Oftentimes, they do not even give you the option of speaking to an individual for assistance.Maintaining the personal touch is important to Andy.  In this age of fax machines and personal assistants, many buyers and sellers rarely see or speak directly with their agents.  Andy doesn't ever want his clients to feel that we are too busy for them.  Andy's mission is to provide his clients with a combination of the best in technology and in old-fashioned personal service.

Buyers´ FAQs

 (Frequently Asked Questions)

 What is the difference between a real estate agent and a REALTOR®?
A REALTOR® is a member of local, state, and national professional organization that call agents to a higher standard of professionalism through the Code of Ethics.

When should I apply for a loan?

Buyers should meet with a loan officer before beginning their search for a home.  The loan officer can then issue a pre-qualification letter that tells a seller that you are a serious buyer, have spoken with a lender, and appear to be qualified for a mortgage.  Ask your agent to give you the names of several  reputable lenders for more information.

When should I begin searching for a home?
If you have a specific date that you must be in a home, you should begin your search at least two months prior to that date. Two months will allow for one month to find the perfect home and enough time for inspections, loan approval and processing. If you have a home to sell, you should list your home for sale before starting your search.

How long does it typically take from the time I find a house until I can move in?

To assist you in your decision, your agent will research comparable sales in the particular neighborhood and will help you in making a reasonable offer.

What happens after I sign the contract?

Your REALTOR®  will lead you through the process of providing the lender with all of the necessary documents for loan approval, scheduling inspections of the home, and securing homeowner´s insurance.

How much will my closing costs be?

In addition to the down payment, the amount of closing costs will depend on several factors, such as the selling price of the home and the type of mortgage.  Your REALTOR® and your loan officer can give you more specific information on the items typically paid by the buyers.

 Should I spend the money to have a home inspection?
The cost of a professional home inspection could be the best money you ever spend on your house. Not only does the home inspector look for any defects from the roof to the foundation, but the inspector will often give you tips on maintaining and repairing your house. Home inspections are also highly recommended for newly constructed homes at several phases throughout the building process.

What is an appraisal? Will I need one?
An appraisal is a detailed analysis by a licensed appraiser of the market value on the home you want to purchase. Lenders will require an appraisal before the loan is approved.

 My goal and commitment is to make your buying or selling experience enjoyable and easy. In the meantime, if you have any questions whatsoever, please don´t hesitate to call me at (303) 881-2403 or, on my toll-free line at (800) 609-2201.
