Yes, we pride ourselves on exceptional service and exceptional advice! A majority of our clients are first-time homebuyers. Many of our past clients who switched to us from full commission realtors told us that our service and insights were actually significantly better than what they got before. We operate less like a sales team and more like a tech and data team.
We do more transactions than a typical real estate agent. We typically write multiple offers per week, are deeply plugged into how the real estate market is doing, and can give you accurate advice on how to play the game.
"To know the road ahead, ask those coming back." Our past clients have left about 50 or so public reviews on Google and Zillow. Every single one of these reviews has been 5-star! We do very little advertising and we get significant repeat and referral business.
Yes, we invest significant effort in sourcing off-market properties. We have a special off-market property program for Berkeley and we charge percentage based commission for our off-market properties. Please call us for more details.
