Colorado Springs,
considered.
A creative director's approach to buying here. Brooklyn brownstones to Old North End Victorians, and most of what's between.
1890s Victorians on brick-lined streets, a ten-minute walk to downtown.
1890s Victorians on brick-lined streets, a ten-minute walk to downtown.
Moving on orders, sight unseen.
BAH math, school districts, radon, hail roofs, and a live video walkthrough of every house that makes the shortlist. Carson, Peterson, Schriever, USAFA: there's a whole page for it.
You will see every house before you buy it.
One video brief, then a live walkthrough of every home on the shortlist: furnace age, panel, closets, the street at 5pm. Radon, roof, soils, and sewer scope before anything is waived. You land with keys, utilities on, and the garage code in your phone.

A real brief.
One video call: budget, gate, schools, non-negotiables. Same intake I ran for design clients for fifteen years.

I walk it live.
Full walkthrough on video: furnace age, panel, closets, the street at 5pm. You see what I see, unedited.

Inspection heavy.
Radon, roof, soils, sewer scope. Boring on purpose. Surprises belong in the report, not at closing.
- 04
Land in a house.
Keys, utilities on, garage code in your phone. You drive up from the airport to a home, not a hotel.
I know this city at every hour.
Rush hour on Powers, the wind on Highway 94 after dark, the street at 6am: you see all of it before you decide.
The same room, shown finished.
Half the homes here photograph empty. I stage the photo instead: an AI pass on the actual listing image, furnished the way the room wants to be used.
The trade-offs nobody puts on Zillow, in writing.
Neighborhoods, taxes, schools, weather, and the honest version of all of it. Free, and better than most paid relocation packets.
Fifteen years deciding what matters. Now it's houses.
Fifteen years as a creative director for Fortune 500 companies, most of it helping people decide what matters and cut the rest. That's the job here too. I made this exact move from Brooklyn, made the decisions you're about to make, and kept the receipts.
