Look at what can't be changed

Paint, carpet and fixtures are a weekend and a budget. The floor plan, the light, the lot, the street and the noise are permanent. Most people tour backwards — they react to the staging and forget to stand in the yard at the time of day they'd actually be home.

Buying a home? Get up to $25,000 back.

When you buy a home, the seller usually pays your agent about 3%. On a $1M home that's about $30,000. We keep a flat $4,999 and give you the rest. Put it toward closing costs, your down payment, or a lower rate.

Based on a $1M San Diego home where the seller offers 3% to the buyer's agent. Applied to closing costs first. How much can go to you beyond that depends on your loan. Estimate only, not a guarantee.

The five minutes that matter

Run a tap and flush a toilet. Open the electrical panel. Look at the water heater's age. Check for a slope toward the house. None of it replaces an inspection, but it tells you whether to bother paying for one.

Your agent gets paid $30,000. You could get most of it.

Most buyers don't know this. The seller pays your agent a big chunk of the sale price. We think most of that should go to you. We charge one flat fee and send you the rest at closing.
