    In today's uncertain market, you need a seasoned navigator to guide you through the choppy waters of homeownership. That's where we come in.

    We recently sold 111 Hazel Lane in Piedmont, a highly sought-after Mid-Century home that checked all the right boxes for young families and empty nesters alike. The Sunday Opens were packed, and private showings were nonstop. No surprise then when 12 offers rolled in on offer day. But what was surprising was the number of prospective buyers who said they'd represent themselves.

    Representing yourself in a real estate transaction is a recipe for disaster. You may think you know what you're doing, but without local knowledge and expertise, your offer will be suspect, putting the seller at risk. And that's not all - with over 45 documents to sign in the disclosure package alone, navigating the process on your own can be overwhelming.

    As selling agents, we're not just looking for top dollar; we're also seeking offers that will quickly sail through escrow without complications. That means favoring experienced buyers who know what they're doing and have a solid understanding of the local market. With more than 45 years of combined experience in the Bay Area real estate market, Julie Gardner and Sarah Abel are your go-to experts.

    Don't risk it - work with us instead. We'll guide you through every step of the process, from navigating the disclosures to closing escrow. Our expertise will give you a competitive edge, and our connections will help you avoid costly mistakes. Why take on the challenge alone when we can provide the scaffolding that makes this large purchase less overwhelming and far more secure?

    In an industry as litigious as real estate, it's not worth the risk to represent yourself. Let us handle the complexities of the transaction so you can focus on what matters most - finding your dream home.
