We always meet for a buyer consultation before getting started so we can align on the best strategy and communications plan for the entire process. Getting to know you helps us better understand what you want and cater our services to fit your needs. Our goal is to offer objective advice and help you evaluate the pros and cons of different properties without being so prescriptive with our recommendations that we forget why you’re in the market in the first place.

Value is all in the numbers. First and foremost, we won’t make any moves without settling on your budget.

The median home price per square foot in Jacksonville is around $200, compared to an average of $900 in Silicon Valley (Santa Clara, San Mateo, and San Francisco counties). But remember, we get what we pay for in the Bay Area — and the grass is always greener, as they say…
