Questions?
Let's Talk.

This guide was put together specifically for you. Every home on this list was hand-selected with your situation in mind — a single woman, a large dog, and a budget that works. If you have questions about any of these homes, want to schedule a showing, or want to talk through the differences between areas, reach out directly.

All information is sourced from the REColorado MLS and is believed to be accurate but not guaranteed. Prices, availability, and HOA details are subject to change. Several homes are listed above $300K — Nick is confident discounts are achievable on those properties. Always verify HOA pet policies directly before making an offer.
