While some buyers will attempt to independently search for properties via Zillow, Redfin or some other property website, you should be aware that roughly 20-25% of homes here are sold privately off-market — never listed publicly, never seen on the MLS and thus never syndicated to those property websites.  This is typically due to the seller’s need for privacy. These are exclusive opportunities shared only among well-connected agents. If you're not working with an agent who has access to these private networks, you're likely missing out on a significant portion of what’s truly available. As members of TAN (Top Agent Network) and other local exclusive agent groups, we have early access to off-market listings and confidential opportunities before they’re ever made public. This is crucial in a market where $2.5M–$40M transactions are common, and where the demand exceeds the inventory

Visiting properties is one of the most exciting aspects of property search.  Most properties are stunning and bespoke in design. As you witness these beautiful properties, you will find yourself full of optimism and  anticipation of your dream come true.   On the practical front, these visits help you understand property values and prepare you for making realistic offers on your desired choice.  Once you are in contract, we will guide you through the many steps to the close of escrow.

If you are purchasing with a loan, it is vital to provide information to a lender so you know exactly your price range.  An efficient property search relies on the lender evaluation.  Futhermore, unless you are purchasing with cash, all offers are submitted with a lender pre-approval letter which can take up to a week or more depending how quickly you provide your details to the lender.  Having the pre-approval process completed before searching for property is foundational.

The standard in our market is for sellers to provide disclosures ahead of the offers submission date so that buyers have all the information upfront. Reviewing these disclosures is time-consuming and we will assist you in identifying areas of concern or potential expense. You should allow at least 2 days to prepare and review disclosures in advance of submitting your offer.
