Buying
Finding the right home, and reading every word before you sign
In San Francisco the right home often sells before most buyers hear about it. Etan finds it early, prices the offer from recent sales, and reads the disclosures and the contract himself.

How it works
- 01
Get pre-approved
Start with a trusted local lender. It saves time and shows sellers you’re a serious, qualified buyer.
I read the pre-approval terms too: what the lender still needs to see is what can stall you in escrow.
- 02
Find the right home
Every property that fits, including off-market and upcoming listings, with honest notes on each.
Before you fall for a home, I read the seller’s disclosure packet and flag anything that changes the price.
- 03
Make a strong offer
Recent comparable sales shape an offer that is competitive and fits your budget.
Contingencies, timelines and who pays for what are negotiated with the same care as the price.
- 04
Close with confidence
Every form completed accurately and every term negotiated, from offer to keys.
Nothing is signed until I have read it, including the title report and the final closing statement.
Why it works
Off-market and upcoming homes
Many San Francisco homes sell before they are listed, or within days of it. Etan hears about upcoming and off-market homes through his local network and brings you the ones that fit.
Trusted local professionals
Local lenders who can pre-approve you quickly, and inspectors and other professionals he trusts, so nothing stalls between offer and close.
Offers built on recent sales
Every offer is priced from comparable sales on the same streets, so you know when to push and when to walk away.
Contracts read by an attorney
Disclosures, inspection reports and every term of the purchase agreement are read closely before you commit.
