Mission Statement
To provide an innovative, enjoyable, and efficient home buying and selling experience by empowering home buyers, home sellers, and experienced REALTORs with the latest technologies and adhering to the highest standards of professionalism.

Colorado HomeFinder Founders:
Lane Hornung and Anthony Francavilla founded Colorado HomeFinder in 2002 on the belief that a real estate website serving today's home buyers and sellers needs to have both a great website and the help of great agents.

Commitment to the Community:
Each time one of our Colorado HomeFinder clients closes on the purchase or sale of a home, we make a charitable donation to the Children's Miracle Network in the name of our client. Colorado HomeFinder has donated thousands of dollars to the Children's Miracle Network (CMN). CMN is an international non-profit organization dedicated to helping children by raising funds for 170 children's hospitals.
