Client Story: Prachi and Sid

/

Buying or selling a home can be an intimidating and even scary process. That’s why we treat our clients like they’re our family. But you don't have to take our word for it. Check out what these recent clients said and read more stories today!

Pearl and Kevin were truly fantastic throughout the entire home-buying process. From the very first meeting, they made us feel comfortable, listened to our needs, and guided us every step of the way. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, from navigating the paperwork to answering all our questions. We couldn’t have asked for better help in finding and settling into our new home!

They held sessions with us where we gained valuable insights, such as how to effectively read inspection reports and how to discern whether something is worth worrying about or is just an easy fix. They also helped us identify issues and potential fixes when we viewed houses and estimated the costs for those repairs.

What really stood out to us was how dedicated they were in making sure we felt at home in our new place. Their support didn’t end when we signed the papers — it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients and their happiness.

Pearl helped us find contractors and technicians, meticulously followed up with them, and even visited the house while they were working to ensure the work was done to a high standard. She was always prompt and responsive to any queries we had throughout the process.

Kevin taught us how to identify and fix issues around the house. Not only did he fix several things himself, but he also showed us how to do it. If you are an enthusiast in terms of learning about your house from an engineering and structural perspective — like I was :) — he is the perfect person. He even personally helped us identify and fix a complex wiring issue.

Thanks to Pearl and Kevin, we were able to smoothly transition into our dream home without any stress. The entire process was filled with fun and learning moments. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring real estate duo!

Weighing Risk vs. Reward

/

In case you missed it, home insurance plays a crucial role in the buying and selling process, especially in areas prone to natural disasters. We can help you understand the financial and other implications on both sides of the process, especially as insurance companies reconsider their policies in high-risk areas.

CHIC (Pearl)

Buyers should use risk assessment as their North Star. You might reconsider purchasing an otherwise wonderful home in an area frequently affected by natural disasters due to the high risk of damage or destruction in a constantly changing environment. A lot of the decision will come down to the cost and availability of insurance. Lenders typically require home insurance as a condition of your mortgage, and if you can’t get a policy, you may not get the loan. It’s a difficult balance, so you’ll need to be committed to the process if you want to make it work.

GEEK (Kevin)

Risk mitigation is the name of the game for sellers. Changes in insurance policies and regulations can have long-term effects on the desirability and value of properties in high-risk areas prone to disasters like wildfires and earthquakes. On top of that, you may be required to disclose past insurance claims related to natural disasters, which might sour buyers on the property. You can help tip the scales by bringing your home’s safety measures up to date, but that may not create the nexus point you need between buyer interest and selling challenges.
