Becoming a homeowner is most likely the biggest financial decision you will ever make. Whether this is your first purchase or you are an experienced buyer, this decision must be made carefully.
Silicon Valley is a very competitive market. Its high-paying jobs and opportunities attract many talented high-tech professionals from all over the world. There is a huge demand for housing but the inventory is not able to catch up with the high demand.
Because of the competitive real estate market, your agent must be educated, aggressive, know current values, and also be respected by their peers. A reputation for high ethical standards and attention to detail is a must when negotiating for that desirable property.
