Probate & Inheritance in Arapahoe County
Navigating the sale of a home during probate can be complex and time-consuming. In Colorado, the probate process can take anywhere from six months to over a year, depending on the estate's complexity and whether it's supervised by the court. Dealing with the Arapahoe County Public Trustee for deed transfers and legal filings adds layers of bureaucracy, especially for those unfamiliar with the process. Inherited properties often come with emotional attachments, deferred maintenance, or conflicting interests among heirs. We offer a direct cash purchase that streamlines this process, allowing you to avoid lengthy court delays, realtor commissions, and the burden of property upkeep during a challenging time. We simplify the transaction, ensuring a smooth transfer without the typical stress of a market listing.
Foreclosure in Colorado
Colorado primarily operates as a non-judicial foreclosure state, meaning the process often goes through the public trustee rather than the courts. Once a Notice of Election and Demand (NED) is filed with the Arapahoe County Public Trustee, homeowners typically have a limited window, usually 110-125 days for non-agricultural properties, before a sale date is set. During this time, the pressure to find a solution is immense. Selling traditionally through a realtor may not be fast enough to meet these strict deadlines, potentially leading to additional fees and the loss of your home. We specialize in fast closings, often within days, providing a viable exit strategy before the auction block. Our cash offer can prevent foreclosure, protect your credit, and provide you with equity from your property.
Permits & Code Violations in Englewood
Many Ranch-style homes in Englewood, especially those built between 1950 and 1980, may suffer from common material defects like Polybutylene Pipes. These pipes are prone to leaks and failure, making them a red flag for prospective buyers and insurers. Selling a property with unpermitted work or existing code violations, such as non-compliant additions due to strict setback regulations for property additions, can lead to significant headaches. Traditional buyers will demand these issues be rectified, requiring costly permits, contractors, and inspections. Our approach bypasses these hurdles entirely. We purchase properties in their exact current condition, including all known and unknown defects or code enforcement issues. This means you don't spend a dollar on repairs or compliance, selling your property with peace of mind.

Max's Insight:
Englewood code enforcement is strict about setback regulations for property additions. Many older properties might have non-conforming structures or additions. We buy with the violation attached, saving you the expense and headache of retrofitting or demolition.
