When you sign an Exclusive Buyer Agreement, the goal I have for my clients is to give them access to on- and off-market listings, resources (like lenders, insurance brokers, school placement facilitators, and contractors), with one of the premier agents in the East Bay. Every Buyer receives a personalized plan that is tailored to their specific needs and timeline.

Creating a strategy that works best for my clientele. Each client and their needs are different. The fun and art of what I do is in defining a specific strategy for each buyer that incorporates their needs and gets my clients the best results!
Pre-purchase consultations ensure we maximize your budget to achieve your purchasing goals.
Using a proprietary home search tool, I create a daily search that highlights both on- and off-market properties in a concise way for the viewer. When the buyer interacts with the platform, it can then offer them choices that highlight features and benefits they love. This allows us to get a preview of homes before the buyer schedules viewings.
We define the strategy that’s right for you. If weekend open houses are the best way for you to see homes, then we discuss the best way to do this in advance. When the buyer identifies the home they believe is right, we review disclosures and can go back and do a little more research to ensure all questions are answered prior to making an offer.
Disclosures 101 – We go through a disclosure packet together to understand what each of the reports, forms, and inspections are within a well-prepared disclosure packet. This includes General and PEST inspections, Sewer Lateral, Sidewalk (where applicable) inspections, Roof and Structural Engineers (when needed), and any other needed expertise when a buyer is considering a home.
When a buyer identifies the home they like, we discuss and review recent sales and define an offer strategy. Today’s competitive marketplace requires many tips and tricks that I will be sharing with you along the way.
This is where your fun as a homeowner begins. I am there every step of the way — as a resource and as your real estate agent for life!
Buying and selling your home can be one of the more involved activities of your life. You need someone who's experienced working on your behalf to ensure you get the most for your dollar in today's highly aggressive market.
