If you think being a first time home buyer is difficult, try being a first time home buyer in the Bay Area during the Covid pandemic: that's a whole new level of "Difficult". Ted knew we wanted to purchase our first home, but our indecisiveness, different work locations, budget, etc. kept getting in the way. With Ted's guidance, we expanded our scope beyond single family homes, gained candid insight on the housing market, the crazy bidding wars, and evaluated recommendations based on Ted's careful observations of our personalities and reactions to multiple open houses. Numerous visits later, we put down a reservation deposit for a condo community: this was a brand new unit that we really loved and was too good to pass up. But we were still in the infant stages of shopping for a new home. We wanted to see more SFH/townhouses/etc. (FOMO obviously...) before our deposit expired - to which gave us ONE remaining weekend. Ted scheduled a whole day of showings around the Bay Area so we could make sure we were making the right choice. Ted truly went above and beyond. He made us his priority, knowing we had limited time to decide. A big "Thank You" to Ted for accompanying us to the community every time - even though he didn't need to - to give us his input on pricing, location, and investment value. Housing markets can be overwhelming given the current situation: no one really knows when the market is going to "cool off'' or where it is going next. We learned that "Time In the Market is Better than Timing the Market"! If you're curious about what real estate options are out there, or just want to explore home opportunities, do not hesitate to reach out to Ted. We highly recommend Ted!
第一次買房子, 已經是個件很困難的事; 然而在疫情未歇之際要在灣區買房子, 是個更加艱難的挑戰. 還好我們遇上了Ted, 如同在茫茫黑夜中的一盞明燈, 照亮了我們想在灣區買房的前路.Ted了解我們因為工作地點以及預算等等原因, 一直三心兩意遲遲未能下手買房. 他透過觀察我們的人格特質以及在幾次的open houses時的反應, 並於分析目前房屋市場現況與行情之後, 專業地建議我們考慮除了獨立屋(Single Family Home)之外的選擇. 安排幾次參觀一個全新的公寓社區(Condo Community)之後, 我們非常喜歡所看上的一間全新的公寓, 由於深怕錯過這個好房子, 即便才剛開始在看房子, 我們決定先下訂金. 但還是希望能在決定期限前再看看更多其他的選擇 (獨立屋/連排別墅...等). 在決定期限前的最後一個周末, Ted 深知我們的時間有限, 幫我們安排了整天在灣區看屋的行程(超過10家以上), 他還特別放下手邊其他的工作, 跟著我們一起去參訪, 以確保我們能做出最恰當的選擇. 作為一個專業的房產經紀, Ted 真的超越了一切! 非常的有耐心. 並用專業贏得我們的信任, 還把我們放在第一位,因為他知道我們有時間上的壓力, 貼心的引導我們做出最後的決定, 而不會讓我們事事都得清楚分析權衡利弊的個性, 導致舉棋不定而遲遲未能做出決定而錯失好機會. 除此之外, 我們更是由衷的感謝他, 在決定買下這個全新的公寓之前, 我們帶著家人多次重回這個社區看房子時, 即使沒有這個需要, 他都還是不厭其煩的陪著, 跟我們分享他對價格, 地理位置與房屋投資價值等的想法. 真心強烈推薦! read more
