I use tried and true methods to write the strongest offer possible. We prepare you before we write any offers to ensure you are ready to take on the market as the strongest buyer possible.

Our team takes deals to the finish line! We are problem solvers. Our knowledge of the industry means you have professionals fighting for your success every step of the transaction.

Unlike other agents who passively wait for the right house to hit the market, we actively search for your perfect home through our off-market home acquisition program.

• Access to our extensive list of off-market property leads.

• Cold calling owners of off-market homes that meet your criteria.

• Hand delivered buyer seeking home letters (see example) to your preferred neighborhood(s).

• Targeted social media ads (Instagram and Facebook) describing the type of home you’re looking for.

• E-mails and personal calls to local agents- specifically those who are known for having off-market leads.

• Prospecting homes that have recently expired, been canceled, or are in pre-foreclosure.

Getting your offer accepted isn’t always as easy as it seems. There are several components that make up a purchase offer, all of which need to be strong.

No dirty offers here- we work with our clients to write strong, clean, straight-forward offers that get accepted.

Here’s how...

• We talk with the listing agent and get in the mind of the seller.

• Clean, clean, clean. No funky terms, no confusing requests.

• Price. We take multiple factors into consideration when advising our clients on how to price their offer. Our goal is to get you the home for the lowest price possible, while also coming in strong (especially when multiple offers are expected).

• Better terms.

• Every offer includes a pre-approval letter and proof of funds.

• Full underwriting.

• Presentation is key.

• Our reputation precedes us.

• Our preferred lenders contact the listing agent upon presentation of the offer.

• Constantly improving.

Set up a consultation to learn exactly how we write offers that get accepted.

Ian (my husband and business partner!) enjoys acting as a listing agent, but something about helping clients find, and get, their dream home just makes me so happy! Don't get me wrong, I love selling houses too, but seeing clients get the keys to their new home is so special!

Step one: Consultation. We can meet at a coffee shop or our office in Templeton. Regardless of the location, you'll get a text asking for your Starbucks order. :) At this meeting we discuss where you are in the buying process, what type of home you're looking for, and discuss commission. Yes, commission. Due to a recent series of lawsuits, buyer's are now required to sign a Buyer's Agent Commission Agreement in order to for an agent to even show you homes.Learn more here.

During our consultation we also pull up some of the homes on the market (if you're pre-approved already) and chat about what you do and don't like about a few. This helps me get an idea of what to show you in the future.

Step two: Sign our agreement, and get to work!

• First, we will set you up with a plan of action. If you aren't already pre-approved, we need to take care of that before anything else. Having a budget to work with is vital, and most agents won't even schedule showings with buyers who are not pre-approved.

• Set up your buyer profile that we use to share with agents as well as to create social media ads to help find you a home (if it comes to that!) Don't worry, we never use identifying information- just what you're looking for and what your budget is as well as some information about how great you are. :)

• Create your Client Portal (see below)

Step three: Start searching! Now, it's finally time to find that dream home! We get you set up on a search through our app so you get notifications every time a new home within your criteria comes on the market. We also add you to our Home Acquisition Program where we give you access to our Off Market Opportunities binder as well as make calls on your behalf in your desired areas. We run social media ads if necessary, send emails to agents about you, and discuss your situation at our monthly office meetings. Basically... we do whatever it takes to find you a home!

Oh... did I mention we love to love on our clients? You'll get gifts during every step of the process. Buyer's Agent Agreement signed? New client gift! Got your pre-approval letter? You deserve a coffee gift card for all of your hard work! Officially in contract on your dream home? I think it's time to go to dinner at your favorite restaurant to celebrate!

Step four: Get your home! We write offers that get accepted! We will pull out all the stops and do everything we can to position you at the top so your offer is accepted.

Step five: Escrow. This is where the real work begins. You'll have two experienced agents on your side. Our deals don't fall through because we are problem solvers. There are so many scenarios that can lead to the downfall of a transaction, but time and time again we have saved deals that seemed un-save-able. We use professional communication, knowledge of the industry, and our abundance of local contacts to do whatever it takes to close the purchase of your home.

Step six: CLOSED! If you think our transaction gifts are cute... just wait until you see your closing gift. :)

Step seven: Oh, you thought you were rid of us after the sale of your home? Think again! We are here for you long after the close of escrow! If you need the number for a handyman or contractor, something comes up with the house, or you simply want to chat (because I promise we will become friends!) we are just a call or text away.

Two of the major complaints we have heard from buyers who were unhappy with their agent are: I can't ever get ahold of them! and I just didn't understand the process, I was so confused!

Of course we have lives and can't be glued to our phones, but we always guarantee a call or text back by the end of the day. We understand that real estate doesn't stop at 5pm or on Friday evening. We also knew what we were signing up for as business owners, specifically in this fast-paced industry.

Communication with clients is imperative, but we also pride ourselves on our professional communication with other agents. Real estate is an industry with many time-sensitive components... something not all agents understand. Our clients will never miss out on a deal because we didn't communicate in a timely manner, or did so in a way that left a bad taste in another agent's mouth.

Plus... with two agents on our team on our team, someone will always respond to you quickly.

We slow down and take the time to explain everything to our clients. We believe you should understand everything about the process. We won't just throw disclosures at you and say "sign here!"

We created our Client Portal in response to the massive amount of paperwork and information that goes along with a real estate transaction. The portal is password protected and unlisted, so only those you want to have access to it do.

In the portal you'll find:

• Monthly updates with our efforts to find you a home

• Homes you've seen, and your feedback about them

• Your buyer checklist, updated with which tasks still needed to be completed

• Offers you've written

• Reports, disclosures, etc. about the home you are in escrow on

• More

  We leave this portal open for 3 months after the close of escrow to give you a chance to download everything for your records.
