First-Time Homebuyer Success

Our clients were referred to us and they needed to find a home within a specific location, with specific features, and in a hurry with an extended overseas trip coming up. After quickly finding their perfect home, we met the next morning to discuss offer strategy and were in contract by the afternoon. I also helped them to navigate unexpected financing hurdles that in the end turned into a blessing as they were able to purchase with FHA financing. This allowed my clients to have a much smaller downpayment, saving their liquid cash for other investments into the home.

 Smart Investment with House Hacking

For these scrappy investor siblings, their first house hacking purchase was a game-changer. They bought a single-family home with an ADU using a 5% conventional loan—far below the typical down payment—making this $1M property an affordable option. By renting out the ADU for $2,500/month and a bedroom in the main house for $1,500/month, they reduced their mortgage from $9200/mo to $5200/mo.($2600/each). This creative solution allowed them to begin building wealth and achieve the American dream, all while owning a newly renovated property in the Bay Area.

Seamless Relocation Experience

When this family relocated from Southern California to Northern California, they were referred to me and our team for guidance in navigating the local market. Despite their prior experience in buying a home in California, the process in the Bay Area was new and very different to them. We made sure to prepare them well for the difference so they knew exactly what to expect and felt confident throughout the process, making their transition to a new home seamless and stress-free.
