The membership of the Pikes Peak Association of REALTORS® (PPAR) is very
proud of our nation's military heritage. Through the years PPAR has
supported our military community in multiple directions and industry service
partnerships. The foremost of these partnerships is the PPAR and Fort
Carson sponsored VRP Program. VRP has established a Colorado Springs
housing and information office within the Housing Referral Office at Fort
Carson, 7301 Woodfill Road. Our VRP REALTORS® have been providing area
housing information, for purchase and leasing, and consumer guidance since
July 25, 1994. Thousands of inbound military families have benefits
from this program. The VRP office is staffed with a certified PPAR/VRP
REALTOR® and offers internet access to PPAR MLS. Office hours are
Monday-Friday 0800-1600 and is available to all area transferring military
personnel.
