I met Heather at one of her open houses. Although the house wasn’t a good fit for us, I was very impressed with her level of professionalism and integrity during our discussion of the kind of house we were looking for. I called Heather the next day and asked if she would be able to represent us as our agent. In this tough seller’s market, Heather advised us truthfully and honestly about the necessary loan approvals and offers we needed in order for our offer to win.
She stood by us as we visited open houses in West San Jose, Campbell, and West Santa Clara. We are picky buyers as this house would be my parents’ home and we wanted one that was not only close to us in proximity but also reasonably new enough so that they didn’t have to make substantial renovations.
After 5 months and many open houses together, we found a place that was just right. Recognizing this, we asked Heather to help us make a pre-emptive offer to purchase the house before it came on to the market. We closed the house in 18 days.
My advice to serious, would-be buyers is this:
Get all your fully approved loans and finances in order. This takes time so get this done before you make an offer. This was the sage advice Heather gave us right from the beginning.
Be patient to look at many houses. Heather is great at giving suggestion and will guide you.
Once you find the house that is right, move quickly to close. Do all you can to stay one step ahead of the competition. Again, Heather can advise on the strategies here.
Buying a house is a process and you’ll need a strong and experienced agent by your side. Heather is the one.
