The Home Buying Process

If you are tired of paying the landlord's mortgage, we have extensive experience in guiding clients to buy a home, allowing us to effectively advise our clients throughout the home buying process. We will find a loan program that's right for you. Our buyers historically average lower purchase prices because of our broader agent network and relationships with them. In today’s market, who you work with matters. Please feel free to contact Karen Mai, San Francisco Realtor when you are in the market to buy a home.

1) Meeting with you

During the first meeting, we will give you an overview of the San Francisco real estate market, listen to your requirements, and go over the general buying process.

2) Obtaining Pre-Approval

Banks and lenders can assess your loan options based on price and time-frame. Often having a pre-approval letter when making an offer can make you appear more desirable to sellers to ensure an on-time close of escrow.

3) Gathering Data

To better understand your specific needs and wants in a property, we go on an overall tour of available units to gather data. This allows us to more accurately predict properties you would like to see in the future and streamline the whole buying process.

4) Touring Properties

We will help you find a home that matches all your wants and needs.

5) Make An Offer

To secure your home, we will help you to structure a fair yet strategic offer. Once the seller responds, we will discuss options and, if necessary, negotiate with the Seller on your behalf.

6) Closing Escrow

Once you have accepted your offer, we will manage the escrow process, complete paperwork, and make sure all contingencies are removed in a timely fashion to ensure a successful close of escrow.
