Where to start
Every search starts with a conversation about what matters most: commute, budget, and whether the home needs to work for more than one generation. From there I set up a search across Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, San Marino, La Cañada Flintridge, the Hollywood Hills and Arcadia, so you see the whole picture rather than one city at a time.
Touring homes as a family
Some families tour together on the weekend; others have members who can't be there in person, whether they're overseas or simply working. I do video walkthroughs so everyone can weigh in, and I'm glad to explain a property's condition, disclosures or paperwork in Mandarin for family members who prefer that.
Offers and negotiation
Once you find the right home, I prepare a written analysis of comparable sales so the offer price makes sense on paper, not just on instinct. I explain each term of the offer plainly, negotiate directly with the listing agent on your behalf, and keep you informed at every step through closing.
Personal preferences
If a home's layout or features matter to you for personal reasons, tell me and I'll factor them into the search.
