Meet Our Preferred Realtors
The Realtors we’ve selected for our program are all experienced in the Colorado market and have earned strong reputations for honesty, reliability and professionalism. Whether you’re looking for the home of your dreams or selling your current house, our Preferred Realtors are ready to help.
Because the decision to hire a real estate professional is important, On Tap Credit Union urges everyone to conduct their own independent investigation and evaluation of any real estate professional being considered. On Tap Credit Union is not responsible for any services you may receive from its Preferred Realtors or from any other person.
