How Do We Give Home Sellers an Advantage?


When selling your home, you may be wondering what you should be looking for in a real estate agent or Realtor team. Today I’d like to provide you with some examples of the kinds of services and advantages that we provide to sellers so that you can better determine which features you need most.
1.    Economies of scale, resources, and expertise. Our team works hard to leverage technology and the information we have available to us when working with our buyers. Because of this, we have a great sense of the trends in the market. In addition, we do customized staging on all of our listings so that we know exactly what to highlight in your home in order to tell its special story.

Each home has its own
special story to tell.

2.    High-quality online marketing. All of our marketing is focused on our international buyers in China and India to reflect the buyer pool here in Silicon Valley.
3.    Negotiation tactics. For us, it’s no surprise that our negotiation expertise, in conjunction with our knowledge of technology and marketing, ultimately nets our home sellers a higher price on their homes than our competitors.

If you have any other questions selling your property or finding the Realtor team that’s right for you, don’t hesitate to send me an email or give me a call. I’d be happy to help you!

What Has Been Happening in Bay Area Real Estate?


A lot of people have been asking me lately about the Bay Area real estate market and whether we are in a market that’s better suited for buyers or sellers. The truth is, it depends on what price range you’re looking at.


The luxury market is great for 
buyers right now.

In the luxury market, anything over $1.4 million is in more of a buyer’s market. We are seeing less and less multiple offer situations, and people are no longer bidding 10% to 15% over list price like they used to. If you’ve been thinking of buying in this segment of the market, it’s a great time to get a deal.

For homes under $1 million, with how low interest rates are and how strong the rental market is, it doesn’t make sense for anyone to pay their landlord’s mortgage. It makes more sense to buy a home by taking advantage of low interest rates and investing in your own equity.

If you have any questions for me, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.
