Buying in SF? Here’s Why You Should Work with an Experienced Agent.

Lots of things are happening in the San Fransisco real estate market right now. While home prices dropped for the first time in seven years a few months ago, they’ve been climbing again—so if you’re looking to buy, the time to act is now.

Since real estate around San Francisco is constantly changing, it’s crucial to work with a professional by your side. Here’s how the Amore Team can help you find your dream San Francisco home—at a dream price.

Neighborhood Knowledge

San Francisco.

There are a lot of neighborhoods in San Francisco, from the rich arts and culture of the Mission District to the breathtaking views of Pacific Heights. Each area has different properties, different price points, and different perks. If you’re not familiar with the ins and outs of the city, it can be hard to know which neighborhood is the right fit for your wants and needs.

Luckily, we’ve been working and living around San Francisco for years. Not only can we give you a rundown on all of your options, but we can also let you in on which neighborhoods will be the best long-term investment.

Market & Pricing Conditions

The inside of a home.

Like mentioned earlier, the median price of a home in the city decreased for the first time in seven years just a few months ago. Unfortunately, that trend isn’t looking to carry on for long, as property values are already creeping back up. Since we have an in-depth knowledge of the local market conditions, we can help you find the optimal time to buy based on your budget.

Not only that, but we can also let you know whether or not you’re getting a good deal on your purchase. We know things like the average price per square foot, list-to-sold ratios, and average days on the market like the back of our hands. And in a real estate market as competitive as San Francisco, having that extra leg up on the competition is invaluable.

Networking Skills

People meeting.

Another way to get a step ahead of the competition? Having the right connections. Since we’ve been working in San Francisco real estate for a while, we have a number of helpful connections—connections like other agents who can give us advanced notice before certain properties hit the market.

In addition to using our connections to find the top homes on the market, we’ll also use them to help you through the rest of the buying process, from finding trusted inspectors to getting a good deal from a lender.

Negotiations & Paperwork

Paperwork.

With so many buyers active around the city, odds are you won’t be the only one making an offer on a home. If you want to stand a chance with competitors, you’ll need to know how to negotiate—or have a professional negotiating on your behalf.

Once your offer is accepted, you’ll also have to deal with negotiations after the inspection and confusing closing paperwork. Luckily, we can help with both.
