Larry Knop
In March of 2004 I decided to steer my life into a different direction, moving from the northern outskirts of Chicago to beautiful Colorado Springs. It was absolutely the best decision I ever made!
I came to Colorado with the hopes of working in Geology or Archaeology. I attended Pikes Peak Community College and it quickly became clear that a career in the sciences may not support my growing family. I started some sales jobs including cars, online college educations and even a challenging mortgage lending industry during the recession. After several different jobs, so called prospects, and failed business attempts I just knew it was time to find a different path. I reached out to the realtor that sold my home to us and asked him if he thought I would be good at real estate, and he said "absolutely". I really liked the way he handled our transaction and thought I could provide the same type of excellent service. I then went to real estate school while working full time, graduated, got my license and here I am... finally with a career that I love!
I understand that buying a house is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. I strive to make that experience as stress free as possible, so you can enjoy the ride. Each buyer and seller situation is very unique with different challenges that present themselves, but the goal is the same and that is to get your home bought or sold.
Weather you are looking for some land, purchase a duplex to generate income or retire in your dream home, I will represent you with your best interest at hand.
Maybe time is of the essence or you are just wanting to look until you are 100% certain as to the type of home or where you want to live ... either way my team and I have the time and patience for your specific buying or selling needs.
My team at Buy Smart Colorado is ready to show you that real estate whether buying or selling does not have to be a daunting task. We want you to feel amazing when you accomplish the goal of buying or selling. Also you will never feel the pressure to buy or sell from any one of us! We all look forward to serving you now or in the near future.
Testimonials
"Larry was fantastic to work with. We were out of state trying to buy a property, and he went to visit each option, and took a video of it to allow us to determine our short list to come visit. He was well connected in the community, knew the nuances of each area, and had recommendations for almost any need that arose. It was a pleasure to see his extreme work ethic and integrity."

"Working with Larry was a pleasure. Even through the normal and unforeseen road bumps during home purchasing, Larry was always available for questions and solutions. He goes above and beyond!"

"We Wouldn’t Have Our Home Without Larry! Larry was truly a lifesaver throughout our entire home-buying process. We had a lender who kept dropping the ball, and there were multiple times it felt like our loan might fall apart completely. Larry stayed patient, calm, and solution-oriented the whole time — and honestly, his creative thinking is what got our loan approved in the end. He came up with ideas and solutions that our lender should have thought of, and he basically had to step in and do their job just to keep the deal alive. His background in mortgage loans gave him an edge that made all the difference. He knew exactly how to navigate every hurdle and kept us reassured when things got stressful. We can’t thank him enough for all the time, effort, and expertise he poured into making our dream of homeownership possible. If you’re looking for a realtor who will go to bat for you, problem-solve like a pro, and truly care about your outcome — Larry is the one!"

"We absolutely loved working with Larry! He’s an honest guy, which immediately appealed to us and helped us trust his opinions/statements. He has also surrounded himself with over trustworthy individuals that make the whole process so easy (loan, inspection, etc). Great experience and we now have an awesome home to enjoy!"
