Free Home Buyer Concierge Service
The best way I know to familiarize yourself with a new area is by having a guided tour.
If you are seriously considering moving to the East Bay, I will commit to spend sufficient time with you so that you will know where you want to live. There are few things I enjoy more than showing off our wonderful area to newcomers and while doing so, I will find you a new home. I have lived in the San Francisco East Bay since 1990 in neighborhoods in Danville, San Ramon, Pleasant Hill and Orinda. My intimate knowledge of the housing markets in the San Ramon Valley and Lamorinda can save you thousands of dollars when I represent you in the purchase of your home here.
DAY 1 - Area Orientation
I will collect you from your hotel or wherever you are staying, soon after breakfast. I will then drive you around the main towns and cities so that you get an idea for how they relate to each other. You will see where the main shopping centers and malls are. I will point out other features of interest; restaurants, theaters, recreational facilities, BART stations (our major commuter rail service) and more. As we drive around each area, you will begin to appreciate the difference between the communities and you will see where many of the housing developments are located. You will discover where the older, more established (and sometimes more desirable) areas are located and where more recent development has taken place. After a full day's tour, you will have a real feel for the area. I would then suggest that we take some time to discuss your needs in a new home so we can focus on what is important to you. Probably by then, you will have a good idea of where you would like to live.
DAY 2 - Looking For Your New Home
On the next day, I will show you homes that meet your criteria. Hopefully you will find one that you like enough to make an offer on. If not, you may need a number of further visits before you buy but if that is the case, I will keep you fully informed regarding properties coming on to the market that match your needs.
BROKERS TOURS
There is a weekly Brokers' Tour in all of our areas. This is the time when most of the newly listed homes are held open, primarily for the benefit of agents in the area. The major Brokers Tours in our area are as follows:
Tuesday
Orinda, Moraga, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Clayton, Concord, Martinez
Thursday
San Ramon, Danville, Blackhawk, Diablo, Alamo
Friday
Dublin, Pleasanton
I suggest incorporating a Brokers' Tour day into your schedule if possible. That way, I will be able to show you many more homes in a much shorter time and you will gain an excellent knowledge of local area home prices.
If you would like a personally guided tour of our area, either phone me on (925) 997-1585 or complete the form below. I can promise you an interesting couple of days.
