New Buyer Resources

 If you're a new buyer in this market, you'll want to be prepared, now more than ever!  I can offer you:

 · A free, comprehensive list of all open houses in the East Bay (not just those in the Chronicle, etc.), sent to your email box before noon each Saturday;

 · Free email updates sent to your email box the moment a new home meeting your criteria hits the market or sees a price change;

 · A free, no-obligation 1-2 hour tour of any neighborhood you think might meet your needs (or a referral to a deeply experienced agent who covers that area, if I don't), stopping into a couple representative homes;

 · Access to a website that includes:

-a review of typical buyer costs for homes at various price points;

-a list of strategies you can use to increase the chances your offer will be accepted, beyond just offering more money;

-a table identifying East Bay schools with high API scores, with click-thrus to sites with more information about those neighborhoods;

-a list of five deeply experienced lenders you might call for ideas and insight on the market and your situation; and

-a free package of buyer factsheets  from the National Association of Realtors.

Just give me your email address and I'll get it to you!
