Make Your Offer

Know What to Offer
Before You Offer It.

Making an offer without data is a guess. Phil pulls comparable sales, reviews days on market, and reads the seller's situation to help you come in with the right number — competitive, but not overpaying.

  • Comparable Sales Analysis — What have similar homes actually sold for in the last 90 days?
  • Days on Market Read — How long has this listing been sitting? Is the seller motivated?
  • Offer Terms Strategy — Price is just one lever. Closing date, contingencies, and earnest money all matter.
  • Negotiation Positioning — Phil has negotiated hundreds of transactions in this market. He knows what moves sellers.

Buyer Questions, Answered

What Bay Area buyers ask Phil most before they start their search.

It starts with a conversation and getting pre-approved, so you know your real budget before you fall in love with a house. From there Phil helps you search every active listing, tour the ones worth your time, and craft an offer that actually wins.
In today's market, yes. Pre-approval tells you what you can comfortably afford and shows sellers your offer is serious — without it, many won't even consider you. Phil isn't a lender, but he'll connect you with trusted local lenders to get it done.
It's Phil's buyer toolkit built into this site — search every active listing, estimate your monthly payment before you tour, and understand what to offer before you write it. It's designed to help you buy smart instead of guessing.
Less than most people think — it's rarely the 20% everyone assumes, and there are low-down-payment loans and assistance programs many buyers qualify for. Phil will point you to lenders who can lay out your exact options.
Buyer representation is spelled out in a written agreement before you start touring homes. Phil will walk you through exactly how his compensation works up front, so there are no surprises later.
