FOR BUYERS:
Every buyer who works with us receives a practical guide that we personally put together to explain the process, the terms, the timeline and many other details that come up as you prepare to make a purchase. We can arrange for a meeting with an architect or engineer at a property you may consider, schedule additional inspections if desired, even connect you with help to organize and pack up your household before the big move. As your real estate advisors, and with our reputation and decades in the industry, we have the connections and advice to assist with any number of home or real estate related issues - even if it's years after you buy or sell with us.
VACATION PROPERTIES:
In addition to our local market in the East Bay, we can also connect you to wonderful opportunities for 2nd homes and international real estate through our partnerships, offering pre-sale opportunities and a new way to purchase, own and maintain vacation homes in some of the world's most beautiful locales. We’d love an opportunity to explain how this can open doors for you that previously seemed out of reach.
And if you decide to move further away, we can recommend a local agent to continue our service at a level you’ve become used to. As founding members of REALM, we are part of a network of the very best agents nationally (and globally) that are united by proven excellence and experience.
