Buy the house — and know what you’re buying.
A good purchase starts long before the offer. Kim brings twenty-plus years of design and renovation experience to every showing, so you can judge a home on its bones as well as its finishes.
How it works
- 01
Start with how you live
Before touring anything, Kim asks how you actually use a home — where you work, how you cook and gather, what you need outside the door and what you’d rather never maintain. That conversation narrows the map faster than any filter.
- 02
Get the financing settled
A lender pre-approval makes your offer credible and sets a realistic price range before you start touring in earnest.
- 03
Tour with a designer
This is where Kim’s background matters most. She’ll point out which walls are likely structural, where a layout could open up, which dated finishes are cosmetic and which signal bigger work — and give you a sense of what a change might involve before you fall for, or walk away from, a house.
- 04
Look closely at older homes
Many of central Denver’s neighborhoods were built before the Second World War. Older houses reward attention to foundations, drainage, electrical service and the sewer line, and a sewer scope is a common part of due diligence here. Radon testing is also standard practice across Colorado.
- 05
Write a strong, clear offer
Kim reads the comparable sales and the listing’s history to shape price and terms — inspection period, appraisal, timing — so your offer is competitive without giving away protections you need.
- 06
Inspection to closing
From inspection objections to appraisal, title and the final walkthrough, Kim keeps each deadline in view and translates what you’re signing, so closing day holds no surprises.
