From Crested Butte and Mt. CB to Gunnison, Almont, and beyond — the process follows a predictable rhythm. Here's the playbook.
Talk to a lender before you tour. A pre-approval letter tells Crested Butte sellers you're serious — and tells you exactly what you can spend.
Crested Butte proper, Mt. Crested Butte, Gunnison, or somewhere out in the valley? Price, must-haves, nice-to-haves. The clearer the criteria, the faster the right place surfaces.
Showings are set up for you. We'll walk through each one and flag what you might miss — roof age, water rights, HOA quirks, and elevation-specific maintenance items.
A competitive offer is built using current Gunnison Valley comps. We'll talk through contingencies and negotiate terms that protect you.
You'll have a window (usually 10–14 days) to inspect, review HOA docs, title, septic/well if applicable, and resolve anything that surfaces.
Your lender orders an appraisal and finalizes your loan. We coordinate with title and the seller to keep things moving.
The day before closing, we walk the property to verify nothing has changed and agreed-on repairs are done.
Sign at the title company, wire your funds, and the property is yours. Typical close in this market: 30–45 days from accepted offer.
Mountain markets move differently than the Front Range. Here's how a Kitt Realty listing typically goes from first conversation to closed sale.
We start with a free CMA — actual recent comps from Crested Butte, Mt. CB, Gunnison, or wherever your property sits. No algorithm guesses, just local data and a candid talk about what the market will pay.
Small fixes that pay back, declutter recommendations, and a punch list. For vacation properties or rentals, we coordinate with cleaners and handypeople so you don't have to fly in.
Wide-angle interior shots, exterior in the right light, and — when it helps — drone work that shows the setting. Photos sell mountain properties more than any other single factor.
Your property goes live on Paragon (the local MLS), syndicates to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and the major portals, and gets pushed through our buyer network and brokerage channels.
We handle scheduling, lockbox access, and showing feedback. You'll get a clear summary of how each showing went — what buyers liked, what gave them pause.
When offers come in, we walk through price, terms, contingencies, financing strength, and timeline together. The highest number isn't always the best deal — we'll help you see why.
We coordinate inspections, appraisals, title work, and HOA documents. If issues come up during the buyer's due diligence period, we negotiate repairs or credits to keep the deal on track.
Sign at the title company (in person or remote), funds wire to your account, and the keys hand off. Typical timeline from accepted offer: 30–45 days.
