There’s no pressure and no obligation.

HELOCs can fund in as few as 5 days. Home purchases typically close in 21–30 days with pre-approval. Home sales in Vail average 30–60 days depending on market conditions. Reverse mortgages take 30–45 days. Bobby’s team coordinates every step so you’re never waiting on paperwork.

That means one team coordinates your financing, your agent representation, and your insurance — no miscommunication between separate companies. It’s faster, simpler, and you get straight advice because we’re not incentivized to push one product over another.

Vail home values have built significant equity for most homeowners.

Current rates and local inventory levels affect the best strategy — we’ll walk you through what makes sense right now.

Requirements vary by program. HELOCs typically require 620+ credit and 15–20% equity. Home purchase loans start at 580+ for FHA. Reverse mortgages require age 55+ with substantial equity. Even if you’re not sure you qualify, a quick conversation with our team will clarify your options.
