Renting

At The Bacon Partners, we’re dedicated to being your go-to resource for all things home-related in Colorado Springs. While we specialize in homeownership, we understand that renting may be the right option for your situation.

Unlike buying a home—where a central database like the MLS makes finding listings straightforward—the rental market is fragmented across multiple platforms. Most local real estate agents, including us, do not provide tenant representation, which means renters must navigate the process on their own.

However, renting can be a great short-term solution, offering flexibility while you explore neighborhoods or prepare for homeownership. To help make your search easier, here are some top resources for finding rental properties in Colorado Springs:

✔ TriStar Property Management – A reliable source for available rental homes.
✔ Zillow Rentals – The most comprehensive rental database in our local market. Use filters to narrow your search.
✔ MLS Search via a Realtor – Some rental listings appear in the Pikes Peak MLS, though not all are included. We can help if needed!
✔ Colorado Springs Homes for Rent Facebook Group – A community-driven platform where landlords and tenants connect.

Renting can give you time, flexibility, and peace of mind while preparing for homeownership. If you plan to buy in the future, we’d love to help when the time is right!

Key Factors to Consider When Renting:

  • Schools: Colorado is a school-choice state, but transportation is often the parent’s responsibility. Check with the district before assuming acceptance.
  • Crime Rates: Research neighborhood safety at MyNeighborhoodUpdate.net.
  • Commute: Drive your potential route during peak hours to gauge traffic and travel time.
  • Nearby Amenities: Consider if you prefer urban conveniences (gyms, shopping, restaurants) or easy access to outdoor recreation.
  • Budget: Rental prices vary by size and location—smaller doesn’t always mean cheaper.
  • Property Management: Quality varies widely. Check online reviews to ensure responsive management.
  • Lease Agreements: If anything feels unclear, consult a real estate attorney before signing.

Why Most REALTORS Don’t Represent Tenants in Colorado

Unlike states like Texas (where agents earn a full month’s rent for placing tenants), Colorado REALTORS typically receive only 10% of the first month’s rent—often not enough to justify the time required to assist renters.

That said, we’re happy to be a resource as you navigate the process.
