Frequently Asked Questions

Do you help both buyers and sellers?

Yes. Most clients are either buying their next home or selling the one they're in, and plenty are doing both at the same time. I've represented both sides since 2005, so I can walk you through either side of the transaction, or both together.

What areas do you serve?

Carlsbad is home base, and I work throughout San Diego County, including Oceanside, Encinitas, Vista, San Marcos, Escondido, and the surrounding North County communities. I'll travel further within Southern California for the right client.

How do I find out what my home is worth?

Request a free equity report through the Home Valuation link on this site, or text or call 760-274-0991 for real numbers on your specific home, not just an automated estimate.

Do you work with first-time buyers?

Yes, regularly. I'll walk you through financing options, what to expect at each step, and what questions to ask, especially on a first purchase.

What if I need to sell quickly or I'm behind on payments?

I work with homeowners in that exact situation, including pre-foreclosure and short sale cases. There are more options than most people realize, and the earlier you reach out, the more of them are still available. See my cash offer guide (athomeinsocal.com/should-i-take-a-cash-offer) or my guide for homeowners behind on payments (athomeinsocal.com/notice-of-default-help-san-diego) for more detail, or just call.

Is there any cost to work with you as a buyer?

In almost every case, no. The seller typically covers the commission on the buyer's side. I can walk you through the specifics for your situation before you sign anything.
