Continuing Education at the Colorado Land Store
We at the Colorado Land Store believe it is important to live the lifestyle and work to understand what our customers are looking for in properties. Not only the physical attributes but often more importantly the lifestyle that goes with it. This past year we focused on going to fly fishing school to get a better feel for what that means and what is important to fly fishermen and women. Granted, we had an absolutely great time (don't forget we are working here). However I could not believe how much detail there is to the sport of fly fishing. What was great is we found out it is fun for anyone no matter what your level of experience or expertise is. Here are some photos that we wanted to share with you. [ Visit Website ]

Is Financing Land Different than a Home?
Yes, there are not as many lenders who finance raw land as there are who do home mortgages. Lenders on land deals often have several requirements such as the land being surveyed and a plat map available. Another common requirement is that there be power and phone available. Interest rates on raw land tend to vary and the real estate agent that you use is a good resource for lenders in the area where you are looking to purchase land. We have an available list of lenders that we have worked with over the years who offer raw land and/or mountain property loan options. Depending on your situation one might be better suited than other. Please email for your free list.

Testimonials
Knowing what a company and its agents are really like versus just readinging what they say and do is often the question asked and not easily answered. We have found that having customers talk to one another (past and potential) is the best method for helping you understand who we are, what we do and what you can expect. Having said that, please note this disclaimer: we are not perfect and do not completely satisfy every customer nor every agent. We strive for progress not perfection. Below we provide letters from customers who have worked with us to help you better understand the Colorado Land Store.

What Does Protective vs. Restrictive Covenants Mean to Me?
At times the word "covenant" means strict rules and codes on what a person can or cannot do on their property. Covenants are generally classified into protective or restrictive. Restrictive is more specific and tends to have a lot of detail on what is allowed or not allowed. Protective covenants, however, are designed to protect the land and its value versus dictate what can or cannot be done. For instance, protective covenants will say no mobile homes and minimum square footage for a house. The design and look of the home is up to the owner.
