For Buyers
Is buying a home in the Bay Area difficult?
Yes and no.
It depends on the market. In the last few years, it has been a seller’s market (less inventory, low interest rates, lots of buyers). But when the market changes to a buyer's market (more inventory, higher interest rates, not as many buyers), it’s a whole different picture.
My job is to help you understand the market, either get you the best property at a good price or sell your property at top dollar. Either way, I’m not here to twist your arm or persuade you of anything. I’m here to enhance and protect your investment, whether you’re selling or buying.

Quickstart Guide to Home Buying
1. Get Pre-Approved for a home loan!
Knowing how much home you can afford helps refine your search and manage
expectations.
2. Decide what type of property works best for you!
Do you want a single-family home, or would a townhouse or a condo meet your
needs? Do you want a duplex, so you can live in one unit and rent the other to
help with the mortgage?
3. Where do you want to live?
Do you mind a long commute? Do you need to be near
public transportation? Do you like city living or more rural settings? Knowing your preferences is important and will help me more quickly find what you’re looking for.
