CO-1350 Masters Drive

Expert

I am a true native of Colorado Springs. I went to Pine Creek High School and from there attended the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. I graduated with a degree in Communications and then furthered my education by receiving my MBA from Regis University in Denver.

Prior to being involved in Real Estate, I worked for USAA as an Auto Adjuster and then for T. Rowe Price as a Financial Service Representative. I have understood firsthand how a client’s experience should be when it comes to large financial investments and decisions.

While working for T. Rowe Price, I felt I was not able to truly help clients and wanted a career that would allow for me to build long-term relationships while also having work-life balance. That is when I decided to get my Real Estate license and have never looked back since.

I love being able to help clients find their dream home and give them the proper guidance as to what the home buying/selling process is supposed to look like. Even if I have not done a transaction with someone, I love being a resource to them and to educate them on the current market.

Feel free to reach out to me by phone, text, or email!

TELLER COUNTY Cont...

Teller County is located in central Colorado on the western slopes of the Front Range in the Pikes Peak region. The county’s latest Census population estimate is 24,756 as of July 1, 2025. The 2020 Census population was 24,710, up from 23,350 in 2010. The county seat is Cripple Creek, and Woodland Park is the county’s largest city. Teller County is included in the Colorado Springs, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area.

HISTORY

Teller County was established on March 23, 1899. It was created from portions of western El Paso County and northern Fremont County after tensions grew between residents of the Cripple Creek Mining District and El Paso County’s government in Colorado Springs. The county is named for U.S. Senator Henry M. Teller.

Within five years of its formation, Teller County became part of the dramatic labor conflict known as the Colorado Labor Wars. The Cripple Creek Mining District remains central to the county’s identity and is tied to Colorado’s last great gold rush.

GEOGRAPHY

Teller County covers approximately 559 square miles, including about 557 square miles of land and about 2 square miles of water The county lies about 20 miles west of Colorado Springs and is accessed primarily by U.S. Highway 24 and Colorado Highway 67.

ELEVATION

Teller County is high mountain country, with elevations beginning around 8,000 feet near Woodland Park and rising to roughly 13,000 feet near Devils Playground on the northwest side of Pikes Peak. Pikes Peak itself rises above 14,000 feet nearby, while Devils Playground is commonly listed as Teller County’s high point.

TERRAIN

Teller County is predominantly mountainous, with forested slopes, granite outcrops, canyons, and rolling grassland areas in the east-central part of the county.

Benefits of using a professional REALTOR®.

Congratulations on your decision to buy a home! It’s a challenging project, and there are many ways a professional can help. Here are some of the many ways you may benefit from working with a REALTOR®:

Many more home choices.

Your REALTOR® has thousands of homes to choose from through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), so you’re more likely to find the home that’s just right for you and find it quicker. In fact, a majority of the homes for sale are listed by REALTORS® and aren’t available to you unless you are working with a REALTOR®

A number of transactions “fall out.”

Unfortunately, it’s true. Some transactions fall apart before closing. An experienced REALTOR® may be able to resolve problems and see your transaction through to a successful closing.

Knowledge of new home subdivisions.

New home subdivisions will welcome you and your REALTOR®. If you’re interested in buying a new home, take your agent with you on your first visit to each subdivision. Your professional REALTOR® is an important source of information who can supply background on the builder, nearby subdivisions, and the local community.

It’s a major investment.

You use a professional for your legal, financial and health needs. Why gamble on what may be your biggest investment without a professional at your side?

Help with FSBO’s.

If you consider a “For Sale By Owner,” take your REALTOR® along to help negotiate the contract.

There is less liability.

You may have more protection from legal and financial liability, especially as real estate transactions become more complicated.

The paperwork.

Your experienced REALTOR® will negotiate and prepare the purchase contract for you and assist you throughout the escrow process.

Key professionals involved in your transaction.

REALTOR®

A REALTOR® is a licensed real estate agent and a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, a real estate trade association. REALTORS® also belong to their state and local Association of REALTORS®

Real Estate Agent

A real estate agent is licensed by the state to represent parties in the transfer of property. Every REALTOR® is a real estate agent, but not every real estate agent has the professional designation of a REALTORS®

Listing Agent

A key role of the listing agent or broker is to form a legal relationship with the homeowner to sell the property and place the property in the Multiple Listing Service.

Buyer’s Agent

A key role of the buyer’s agent or broker is to work with the buyer to locate a suitable property and negotiate a successful home purchase.

Multiple Listing Service (MLS)

The MLS is a database of properties listed for sale by REALTORS® who are members of the local Association of REALTORS®. Information on an MLS property is available to thousands of REALTORS®.

Title Company

These are the people who carry out the title search and examination, work with you to eliminate the title exceptions you are not willing to take subject to, and provide the policy of title insurance regarding title to the real property.

Escrow Officer

An escrow officer leads the facilitation of your escrow, including escrow instructions preparation, document preparation, funds disbursement, and more.

Your escrow professional may:

Open escrow and, if instructed to do so, deposit your good faith funds in a separate escrow account.

Order a title search to determine ownership and status of the subject real property.

Issue a preliminary report and begin the process of eliminating the title exceptions you and your lender are not willing to take title subject to.

Request payoff information for the seller’s loans, other liens, homeowner’s association fees, etc.

Coordinate with the buyer’s lender on the preparation of the Closing Disclosure (CD).

Prorate fees, such as real property taxes, per the contract, and prepare the settlement statement.

Set separate appointments allowing the seller and you to sign documents and deposit funds.

Review documents ensuring all conditions and legal requirements are fulfilled; request funds from lender.

When all funds are deposited, record documents with the County Recorder’s Office to transfer the subject real property to you.

After the recordation is confirmed, close escrow and disburse\funds, including seller’s proceeds, loan payoffs, etc.

Prepare and send final documents to all parties involved.

Terms you should know.

Appraisal

An estimate of value of property resulting from analysis of facts about the property; an opinion of value.

Annual Percentage Rate (APR)

The borrower’s costs of the loan term expressed as a rate. This is not their interest rate.

Beneficiary

The recipient of benefits, often from a deed of trust; usually the lender.

Closing Disclosure (CD)

Closing Disclosure form designed to provide disclosures that will be helpful to borrowers in understanding all of the costs of the transaction. This form will be given to the consumer three (3) business days before closing.

Close of Escrow

Generally the date the buyer becomes the legal owner and title insurance becomes effective.

Comparable Sales

Sales that have similar characteristics as the subject real property, used for analysis in the appraisal. Commonly called “comps.”

Consummation

Occurs when the borrower becomes contractually obligated to the creditor on the loan, not, for example, when the borrower becomes contractually obligated to a seller on a real estate transaction. The point in time when a borrower becomes contractually obligated to the creditor on the loan depends on applicable State law. Consummation is not the same as close of escrow or settlement.

Deed of Trust

An instrument used in many states in place of a mortgage.

Deed Restrictions

Limitations in the deed to a parcel of real property that dictate certain uses that may or may not be made of the real property.

Disbursement Date

Earnest Money Deposit

Down payment made by a purchaser of real property as evidence of good faith; a deposit or partial payment.

Easement

A right, privilege or interest limited to a specific purpose that one party has in the land of another.

Endorsement

As to a title insurance policy, a rider or attachment forming a part of the insurance policy expanding or limiting coverage.

Hazard Insurance

Real estate insurance protecting against fire, some natural causes, vandalism, etc., depending upon the policy. Buyer often adds liability insurance and extended coverage for personal property.

Impounds

A trust type of account established by lenders for the accumulation of borrower’s funds to meet periodic payments of taxes, mortgage insurance premiums and/or future insurance policy premiums, required to protect their security.

Legal Description

A description of land recognized by law, based on government surveys, spelling out the exact boundaries of the entire parcel of land. It should so thoroughly identify a parcel of land that it cannot be confused with any other.

Lien

A form of encumbrance that usually makes a specific parcel of real property the security for the payment of a debt or discharge of an obligation. For example, judgments, taxes, mortgages, deeds of trust.

Loan Estimate (LE)

Form designed to provide disclosures that will be helpful to borrowers in understanding the key features, costs and risks of the mortgage loan for which they are applying. Initial disclosure to be given to the borrower three (3) business days after application.

Mortgage

The instrument by which real property is pledged as security for repayment of a loan.

PITI

A payment that includes principal, interest, taxes, and Insurance.

Power of Attorney

A written instrument whereby a principal gives authority to an agent. The agent acting under such a grant is sometimes called an “Attorney-in-Fact.”

Recording

Filing documents affecting real property with the appropriate government agency as a matter of public record.

Settlement statement

Provides a complete breakdown of costs involved in a real estate transaction.

Planning to sell.

A homeowner’s checklist to prepare your home.

So you’re planning to sell your home. You and your real estate broker have decided on a price, based on current market values, but your home may sell faster and bring a higher price if it shows well. Potential buyers will get the best impression if your home is clean, neat, uncluttered, in good repair, light, airy, fragrant, and quiet. This checklist will help you get your home ready to show.

Clean everything in you home.

Cleanliness signals to a buyer that the home has been well cared for and is most likely in good repair. A messy or dirty home will cause prospective buyers to notice every flaw.

Let the fresh air in.

Get rid of odors that may be unfamiliar or unpleasant. People are most often offended by odors from tobacco, pets, cooking, and musty or sour laundry. Fresh flowers and potpourri can be used to your advantage. Other smells that attract positive attention include fresh baked bread and cinnamon.

Painting your home.

There’s nothing that improves the value of a home for a lower cost than a fresh coat of paint. And it’s so often easier to paint a room than it is to scrub it. Stick with neutral colors - off-white is the safest. Be sure to avoid black, violet, and pink.

Keep the noise down.

Silence is a restful sound that offends no one. Turn off the TV and radio. Soft instrumental music is fine but avoid vocals. If necessary, close the windows to eliminate any street noise.

Unclutter your home before you show it.

Have a garage sale. Empty closets. Throw away what you can’t sell. The less “stuff” in and around a home, the roomier it will seem.

Fix anything that is broken.

This includes plumbing, electrical systems, switches, windows, TV antennas, screens, doors, and fences; if it can’t be fixed, replace it or get rid of it (no window screens are better than broken ones). A buyer will make a much lower offer if your house is in disrepair and will probably still insist that everything be fixed before taking occupancy. You’re better off if you leave potential buyers no reason to offer less than you are asking.

Send your pets away.

Send them away or secure them away from the house when prospective buyers are coming. You never know if people will be annoyed or intimidated by your pets or even allergic to them. And you never want a prospective buyer to have to avoid animal droppings.

Send the kids to Grandma’s.

Send them to Grandma’s or take them on a walk around the block. Children can be noisy and distracting to someone interested in looking at a home.

Make a great impression.

“Home

staging is no longer optional in this real estate market, it’s a must.”

- Barbara Corcoran

The Closing Process

We know the home buying process can be confusing. Let’s walk through a brief explanation of what happens after you sign the contract.

The signed contract and earnest money are delivered to the settlement agent (note: the title company often acts as the settlement agent). Now the title order begins and information such as taxes, loan payoffs, lien search, and other information is collected.

The title search will determine the legal owner of the property and any outstanding liens and/or assessments. This search is critical to making sure the property will transfer legally to the buyer.

Over the next few weeks the following will occur: inspections, repairs (if necessary), payoffs obtained from current lenders, HOA’s, lienholders, ect, and loan document preparation. It is important the buyers and sellers are responsive to requests for paperwork and information.

Once the invoices, payoffs, statements, and loan documents are received, the settlement statement is prepared. This document includes the closing calculations and is used to inform the buyer and seller of their bottom line figures.

The closing paperwork must then be signed by the buyer and the seller. This will include documents such as the deed, settlement statement, loan documents (if applicable), and others.

All payees, including the seller, payoff lenders, real estate professionals, and others are paid according to the settlement statement.

The final documents, including the deed and loan instrument, are sent to the county recorder’s office for recordation. After recording, the deed will be sent to the buyer. The title insurance policy is sent to the buyer and the lender.

Understanding title insurance.

The title industry and title insurance in brief.

Prior to the development of the title industry in the late 1800s, a home-buyer received a grantor’s warranty, attorney’s title opinion, or abstractor’s certificate as assurance of home ownership. The buyer relied on the financial integrity of the grantor, attorney, or abstractor for protection. Today, homebuyers look primarily to title insurance to provide this protection. Title insurance companies are regulated by state statute. They are required to post financial guarantees to ensure that any claims will be paid in a timely fashion. They also must maintain their own “title plants” which house duplicates of recorded deeds, mortgages, plats, and other pertinent county property records.

What is title insurance?

Title insurance provides coverage for certain losses due to defects in the title that, for the most part, occurred prior to your ownership. Title insurance protects against defects such as prior fraud or forgery that might go undetected until after closing and possibly jeopardize your ownership and investment.

Why is title insurance needed?

Title insurance insures buyers against the risk that they did not acquire marketable title from the seller. It is primarily designed to reduce risk or loss caused by defects in title from the past. A loan policy of title insurance protects the interest of the mortgage lender, while an owner’s policy protects the equity of you, the buyer, for as long as you or your heirs (in certain policies) own the real property.

When is the premium due?

You pay for your owner’s title insurance policy only once, at the close of escrow. Who pays for the owner’s policy and loan policy varies depending on local customs.

How title insurance differs.

Unlike other forms of insurance, title insurance emphasizes loss prevention for the insured. Title professionals perform labor-intensive work to find and address title issues that could threaten your homeownership. This upfront analysis gives you, as a policy holder, the peace of mind that your title risk has been effectively reduced. In contrast, insurance based on loss assumption (such as auto or property and casualty insurance) requires little upfront work because claims cannot be predicted or prevented, and premium funds are needed only in the event of an accident or other covered issue. These types of insurance also require annual coverage payments, unlike title insurance which is paid for only once upon the purchase of your home or establishment of a new mortgage.

The importance of title protection.

There are many title issues that could cause you to lose your real property or your mortgage investment. Even the most careful search of public records may not disclose the most dangerous threat: hidden risks. These issues may not be uncovered until years later. Without title insurance from a reputable and financially solvent company, the ownership of your home could be jeopardized.

Here are some examples of title issues that may occur:

Deeds by persons supposedly single, but secretly married.

Deeds in lieu of foreclosure given under duress

Marital rights of spouse purportedly, but not legally, divorced.

Impersonation of the true owner of the land.

Deeds by minors.

Deeds by persons of unsound mind.

Deeds to or from defunct corporations.

Defective acknowledgments by notaries.

Duress in execution of instruments.

Erroneous reports furnished by tax officials.

Forged deeds, releases, etc.

Mistakes in recording legal documents.

Surviving children omitted from will.

Administration of estate of persons absent but not deceased.

Birth or adoption of children after date of will.

Claims of creditors against real property sold by heirs or devisees.

Deed of community property recited to be separate property.

Deeds by foreign parties.

Seller’s Checklist

Prior to Closing:

Provide title company with current loan information so a payoff statement can be ordered from your lender. You will need to provide your Social Security Number and you may be required to sign a form authorizing your lender to provide the payoff to First American Title.

Complete a Confidential Information Statement if you have a common surname. Provide documentation of any change in marital status (divorce, marriage, death) during current ownership. If the property is inherited we will need a copy of the probated will.

Have your Power of Attorney approved prior to closing in the event you will not be present to sign documents.

Required at Closing:

Driver’s License Social Security Number

Bring extra house keys, garage door openers, warranties or operational manuals for appliances (heating, AC, stove, etc.) or let your real estate professional know where in the house they are located.

Avoiding Closing Delays:

Lenders and title insurers may require single owners who have married to have their spouse sign paperwork or a deed at closing. Discuss this with your escrow officer early in the transaction. The Confidential Information Statement should be completed and returned promptly. It will help clarify the identity of the actual person or persons named on judgments in the title search.

After Closing:

Cancel your homeowner’s insurance if you are moving from the property at closing. If you are remaining at the property after closing, you should notify your agent of this change.

Make sure your lender has your forwarding address. The lender will refund monies left in your escrow/impound account and send final paperwork regarding the paid loan.

Keep your final settlement statement with tax documents. You will need it when filing taxes.
