Buying a home begins with a pre-approval from a local lender. We’ll connect you with our network of brokers and loan agents, helping you find the best service and interest rate to finance your Silicon Valley home.

After your offer is accepted by the seller, there is plenty more to do before we get to closing. While you’ll have some more time to think during this stage, we’ll be taking a close look at home inspection reports, bank appraisals, and a variety of lender-specific requirements to ensure that everything is in good shape before your closing date.
Closing the sale is the final step of our journey together. You’ll sign all the paperwork to make your home purchase final, pay closing costs, and get the keys to your new home. We’ll celebrate your new milestone with you as you snap photos and do a little happy dance.
