Working with Judy really gave us an edge over other buyers

Working with Judy really gave us an edge over other buyers. She helped us land the home we were truly searching for at a price we could afford. I am certain we wouldn’t have gotten our home without Judy as our agent. I’ve dealt with numerous agents on both coasts of the U.S. Judy is by far the hardest-working one I’ve had so far. Like, head and shoulders above the rest. I could text her early in the morning or late at night, and she responded quickly to my questions! We were in constant contact, and she pushed when it was appropriate, gave us room when we needed, and was always honest about what to expect. She is an expert on the East Bay market in Northern California. While most agents will simply set up an e-mail alert and hope you buy something, Judy is actively looking for off-market properties and running a market analysis based on recent sales so her buyers have a realistic chance of winning their bids. We recently purchased a home pre-listing, avoiding the feeding frenzy that buyers are facing for every home in the suburbs. This is because Judy was able to set up an appointment the day before the house went on the market and discern what the seller wanted, which allowed us to make a competitive offer the very next day. She aggressively negotiated terms on our behalf. What makes this deal even better is that her relationships with local mortgage brokers allowed us to find better financing that we were able to find on our own, saving us even more money. Throughout our home buying process she was helpful, knowledgeable and patient. She pays attention to the small details and anticipates the future problems and needs of her clients. For instance, she helped us select a home warranty based on the experience and feedback of her clients and even arranged a free rekeying service. These small things take a lot of the burden and stress of buying a home off the buyer. She really is a full-service broker. Highly recommended.
