Land and Ranches Overview

Vacant land and ranches require specialized attention to details such as water rights, mineral rights, road access, surveys, plats, easements, fence lines, environmental conditions, grazing leases, agricultural tax classification, subdivision rights, development agreements, and zoning.

Our real estate attorneys assist clients with land and ranch transactions of all sizes, providing expert guidance throughout the process. We help clients navigate complex real estate transactions, ensuring they are informed and equipped to make well-considered decisions.

We manage all legal aspects of the transaction, beginning with the purchase and sale agreement. Typically, we use the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) approved form, which real estate agents are required to use. We collaborate with your broker to customize the agreement and include any necessary legal provisions specific to your transaction. If you're not working with a broker, we can refer you to one or handle contract negotiations directly.

Our services also include title and survey review, title endorsements, due diligence, HOA review, and closing requirements, while the title company handles the actual closing. Additionally, we connect you with experienced water and mineral rights attorneys as needed.

For brokers, we are eager to support your clients in their land and ranch transactions. Our approach is simple: we get deals done. We work as an integral part of the team, solving problems to ensure the transaction successfully closes.
