tl;dr: if you want to succeed in this competitive housing market as a buyer, you need every edge you could get. Sunny and David will give you that edge you desperately need! And here is why:
Sunny’s orientation will set you up properly in this market, giving you a taste of what to expect. If you are a first-time home buyer, you will benefit from this. Even as I considered myself to be a diligent and savvy home buyer, I still find this orientation session very useful. The fact that she even HAVE a formal informative orientation tells me that Sunny is the kind of agent who is willing to go the extra miles.
When Sunny and David show up at our open house tour, I was surprised that they dressed very professionally comparing to other agents who accompanied other buyers. Your agents represent you, when the listing agent sees your agent dress/act professionally, they know that you mean business, and that helps negotiation down the road.
After each home tour, Sunny will ask for feedback from us to further narrow down our search. It’s better to focus your energy on a few targets rather than spread them over a wide range. Sunny helps us do exactly that and we were able to get the house we want after touring 4 houses only!! And the whole process is fun, smooth, satisfying, and no stress at all. Speed and execution is everything in this market.
Sunny also stresses the importance of teamwork. You could have the best agent in the world, and you still can’t get a house if you don’t play your part accordingly. That includes finding out what you really like and be committed. And most importantly trust Sunny and David!
Sunny’s diligence is unmatched, late at night, she walked me through all the disclosure documents one by one to make sure I understand them before I sign them. Why late at night? Because I took all the time to make my decision, and the next day is the deadline for submitting offers. She actually caught a few items that I did not notice myself.
Another big advantage Sunny will give you is that she will personally deliver your offer to the office of the listing agent, she will even present the offer to the seller if the selling party allows it. Why is this a big advantage? I let you ponder on that yourself, I better not spell out too much of Sunny’s secret here. You have to talk to her and find out yourself and you will not regret it!
Their service didn’t end even after we closed on the house we really want. She continues to help me on finding an architect for our major reconstruction, and had given me very valuable advice for the floor plan design. From their vast experience, they know what buyers look for in a home, so their input in our remodeling will help ensure we get the most resale value out from our reconstruction.
To be honest, this is the first time I write a yelp review, I never feel so strongly about writing reviews for other goods and services on Yelp before. What does it matter if you could find a good restaurant or not, but this home buy thing matters a lot! And since I found Sunny and David on yelp, it’s only fair that I give back to the Yelp community.
