  • Our customers often find that a customized search by our office results in a more effective search effort. We provide property information sheets that meet your needs. The information comes from all the real estate offices in our area. Call us at 269-1212 and we can do this for you. Also check out our buyer tips that can help you make a more effective search.
  • The Local MLS Search is a very good search tool for home listings in our local market. Pretty much every other site such as Zillow use this data which local Realtors provide. Use this for searching or just ask us and we’ll prepare printed sheets for you with expanded search capabilities based on your interests.
  • Zillow Search is very user friendly, and they include a lot of extra information about houses. However, we find that their house pricing estimator tends to be quite inaccurate for Canon City although it does seem to work fairly well in larger markets, such as Denver. This has led to many confused questions on home value from our customers.
  • Trulia Search is a mix, it’s not as easy as Zillow but it has a lot of information such as crime rates and can even help calculate your commute time!
  • The Monthly Mortgage Calculator is a tool to help you estimate, based on house and lending rates, how much you would spend on a mortgage. There’s a lot of options in here to experiment with, but sometimes you might need more advice than it can give. In those cases, give us a call!
  • The House Affordability Calculator can help you estimate how much house you can afford, based on income and expenses. One piece of advice from us is to try not to buy the maximum price it gives you! You’ll find that “Affordable” does not always mean advisable!
  • The Fremont County Assessor’s office welcomes you to search their online property records; Eagleweb. An additional really powerful local site is Fremont County Parcel Viewer with a lot of GIS mapping information.
