It was such a pleasure working with Vivian, she is super fast responsive and knowledgeable. She answered our questions and helped us understand the process which made things super smooth. I’d recommend Vivian and her team to everyone!

We were casually looking at homes around the Bay Area over the past year, but we found our home within weeks of working with Vivian. Vivian was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. Being a first-time homebuyer, I had many questions and Vivian always responded quickly and professionally. Vivian went the extra mile to make sure we made an informed decision and got a low interest rate. I would highly recommend Vivian to anyone looking to purchase a home!

Vivian was very patient with my husband and I as first-time home buyers. She was always willing to investigate further with the seller's agents and make sure she was giving us the most accurate information and full picture. I think what made us really trust her was her honesty about property that she knew was not going to build the best equity or when a house we were interested in paying over asking price didn't match the comps in the area. Sometimes you get blinded by the idea of the house and it's so important to have the right agent to tether you back to reality. Hmm is that why they call it realty?

My dealing and interaction with Vivian was an unusual one. I was referred to Vivian by my Financial Advisor who has dealt with her before. My situation involved 5 different properties, 3 residential rental single family dwellings in Oakland, one Commerical Restaurant in Oakland and one condo rental in Emeryville. I was in great hands with Vivian in all areas. My predicament was in dealing with a Real Estate attorney and evicting all residential tenants and the relocation costs.........Vivian handled it all and was great! Everything fell into place just like Vivian said it would and she took care and coordinated all the improvements, staging and costs a head of time. In regards to the Commercial Restaurant in Oakland; Vivian successfully negotiated selling it at a very good price even in this Covid market. I would not hesitate to recommend or using Vivian in the future.

The goal is to make your home as appealing as possible to the most potential buyers, before photos of your home are taken. Staging your home can include anything from redecorating to rearranging furniture, cleaning or other aesthetic strategies to present the home in the best possible light. You can do it yourself, have your real estate agent guide you, or hire a staging company.
In most cases, the buyer pays for the home inspection.
If someone is selling a home that needs repairs - yet chooses not to fix them - they may choose to list a property as-is. Disclosures and inspections are typical steps in the process. In an as-is sale, a buyer is willingly purchasing the home in its current state with full knowledge of its condition.
When selling a property, it is incumbent upon the seller to disclose any details about the home that might negatively affect its value.
Factors such as the time of year and market conditions play a big role in how quickly a property sells. How you price, market and stage your home are also very important variables that will affect how long a home remains on the market.
Any fixture that is ‘attached’ or built into the house typically remains. For example, if your house has built-in bookshelves, they typically stay with the house. The same is true of kitchen or bathroom fixtures, and fireplaces. Exceptions and details can be discussed during the negotiation process.
A professional appraiser will inspect a property and compare it to other similar homes in the area. From there, a fair market value is determined. Unless you plan on paying all cash for a property, you will likely need a home appraisal.
A real estate agent is paid as part of the closing costs, which comes out of the sale proceeds at the end of the process.
Your first step is to hire a real estate agent you trust. Together, you will set an asking price, prepare your home for listing, list and market your property, negotiate an offer, and close on the sale.
Sharing particular information when connecting with a real estate agent can help give you an idea of your home’s value in today’s market. The in-person expertise of a real estate agent will give you a more accurate opinion of your home’s value.
