| Home Buyer Services |
We know that purchasing a home can be daunting, especially for people with modest-incomes, who are often first-
time home buyers. To make the process easier, CCLT works with interested buyers to educate and position them to
succeed in home ownership.
CCLT's home buyer services include buyer orientation, first-time home buyer classes, mortgage pre-qualification
(with one of our participating lenders) and income verification. Through this process, potential buyers learn about
the benefits and obligations of home ownership, as well as about the specific requirements of the land trust model.
From search to closing, CCLT is there to make home ownership happen.

Here are the detailed steps to take to become a home owner through the CCLT:
- See if you Qualify by reviewing our income restrictions.
- Call one of our Preferred Lenders and obtain a pre-qualify letter for a loan.
- Complete an Income Verification Application. We are happy to email this application to you upon request.
- Attend a first time Home Buyer Education Class through the CCLT affiliate at The Colorado Housing and
Finance Association. Click HERE for the class schedule or to take the class on line. We need a copy of your
certificate of completion before closing on your property. - Attend a CCLT Home Owner Orientation. Please call or email us to schedule an orientation.
- 303-856-7357 or hadams@coloradoCLT.org
During the Home Owner Orientation we will share an overview of the benefits and restrictions of our
Affordable Housing Program, and review the Land Lease you will be subject to when buying a CCLT home.
Topics highlighted:
1. Provisions of the Land Lease
2. Financial Benefits, monthly and yearly
3. Resale Formula, the method CCLT uses to calculate a maximum resale price. Buyers are limited to a
25% return of equity when selling their home. The remainder of the profit stays in the home to maintain
the property as affordable in perpetuity.
- Potential buyers have the chance to visit with a CCLT representative and/or a lender and may discuss the
program at length.
- Occupancy Requirements and Explanation of a Community Land Trust
- Only home owners may occupy the residence - the townhome may not be leased.
- The land and the townhome are separately owned. The land is owned by the CCLT and the townhome is
owned by the home buyer. - The home buyer has a 99-year land lease with the CCLT.
- The CCLT determines the allowable maximum resale price according to the land lease and affordable housing
guidelines and administers the sale and resale of the home to assure the next buyer is income eligible.
Please let us know how we may help you move forward on your purchase of a home and welcome you to the
Lowry neighborhood!
