ZillowVERIFIEDWhether you are a first time home buyer, or are looking for a better realtor, you do not need to look any further. I highly recommend Amanda to any of my friends and coworkers as someone that is effective, caring, and knows how to get the job done. Amanda helped our family find a home in 3 months, which is a testament to her effectiveness as a realtor. We had interviewed several realtors but we ended up picking Amanda as she stood out from other realtors for these reasons: 1. We were first time home buyers and she clearly educated us on the end to end process so we knew what to expect. 2. We were overwhelmed with what location to buy in that would fit our budget, and she was the only realtor that had great knowledge across the Bay Area as opposed to one specific location. 3. Amanda didnt just educate us on the home buying process, but she offered to personally visit homes together the first several weeks so she could help educate us on what to look for and help us narrow down our search. She said most of her buyers find homes within 3 months using her process. No other realtor offered to do this with us, so we went with her. Amanda delivered on everything she had spoken of. She made the house buying process easy for us, and went above and beyond to help us through challenges in the process. 1. I was very picky on characteristics of what I was looking for aEUR" Amanda was honest up front and said what I wanted would be difficult to find. However, she made sure to really understand my requirements and nice to haves and was thoughtful about what properties she shared with me. I appreciated that she took this time vs. sending me an automated list to look through myself. 2. When we came across a property we were interested in but had some legal complications, Amanda personally helped us phone the city, even calling multiple times and staying on hold to try to catch the right city department to address some questions we had. 3. During the offering process, you really want to be working with a realtor that is knowledgable about negotiation. Amanda suggested unique and intelligent strategies and we were pleased with the outcome of the negotiations. We were able to buy our dream home, and we would not be here today without Amandas help to make the process seamless and easy. Do yourself a favor and sit down to chat with her, and you will know what I'm talking about!
