BUYING
“Bryan and I appreciated Vance as a realtor because he was so realistic about what our finances could get us & didn’t push us to go higher. He took his time to drive out with us to Corona to look at houses. We appreciated his patience & his honest opinions about what each house had to offer. He was very knowledgeable about the structure and what would have to be done to each one. We were very satisfied with everything he took care of behind the scenes, and was there for us when we had any questions. We would use Vance again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Vance, for your help in making our dream a reality!”

As we finish our Thanksgiving leftovers and decorate for Christmas, I can't adequately describe how much we love this home and how much it means to us to be here. Thank you both for walking us through the process and making this dream a reality. We are so grateful to have people that we trust.

What You Should Know
Today's market can be very competitive or very slow depending of many factors. Multiple offers and overbidding are known to happen on many popular fixed up properties that are priced right. However, trends change from time to time so talk to us about current market conditions. If things are slow, properties may not have any offers. In fact, a lower than list price offer may seal the deal for you! But you may have to offer more in a competitive market! You need to be ready when the right one comes up. We are here to help you navigate all of these details.
