COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Questions, Answered
Get immediate answers to the most common questions about working with our real estate team.
Is now a good time to buy or sell?
Rather than giving generic advice, we provide personalized market analysis based on your specific situation, timeline, and goals. The Bay Area market varies significantly by neighborhood, and what might be right for one client could be wrong for another. Schedule a consultation for a customized assessment.
How competitive is the market right now?
The Bay Area market remains competitive, but our exclusive access to off-market and coming soon listings gives our clients a significant advantage. With our connections, you'll see properties before they hit the public market, giving you time to make decisions without competing against multiple offers.
What makes INTERO different from other agencies?
As a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate, we combine global resources with hyper-local expertise. Our agents live and work in the communities they serve, providing insider knowledge unavailable elsewhere. We also offer exclusive services like our 100+ coming soon listings access and preferred lender network with special rates for our clients.
How do I get pre-approved for a mortgage?
Our streamlined process makes pre-approval simple. We'll connect you with our network of preferred lenders who offer competitive rates and terms exclusively for our clients. They'll guide you through the required documentation and can often provide pre-approval within 24 hours, strengthening your position when making offers.
What costs should I expect when buying a home?
Beyond the purchase price, buyers should prepare for closing costs (typically 2-3% of the purchase price), moving expenses, and potential home improvements. We provide a detailed cost breakdown at the beginning of your search so there are no surprises, and can often negotiate seller credits to offset these expenses.
How do I maximize my home's sale price?
Our strategic approach to selling homes consistently achieves above-market results. We provide professional staging, photography, targeted marketing, and expert pricing strategies. Our pre-listing assessment identifies high-ROI improvements that can significantly increase your sale price, often by 5-10%.
