In Colorado’s competitive housing market, knowing the title and escrow timeline is paramount for Realtors who want to keep deals on track.


Once a contract is signed, the closing process includes:


• Title search and examination 

• HOA document ordering (if applicable) 

• Payoff information gathering 

• Survey review or ILC requirements 

• Lender coordination 

• Preparation of closing disclosures 

• Scheduling the signing 


The most common sources of delay in Colorado include HOA response times, boundary disputes, payoff surprises, and lender documentation needs. Realtors can help prevent these issues by ordering title early whenever possible, communicating regularly with their clients, and closely monitoring all contract deadlines.

Understanding the Colorado closing timeline helps ensure your clients have a smooth, predictable journey to ownership.
