We believe buying a home should be easy.
As a top team, we have tight relationships that offer our clients a valuable leg up when it comes to accessing properties. We often know about properties before they are available to the public resulting in getting our clients into properties before the competition. We are in the know regarding off-market deals which in 2022, Marin saw one out of twelve single-family properties sell off-market (Source: BAREIS MLS). While touring properties you have local experts to help you determine where you call home. We work around your schedule and as a team, we always have someone available to help you get in when it’s most convenient for you.
Our superior understanding of the purchase contract allows us to be creative in structuring our deals, detailed in negotiations, persuasive in our delivery and ultimately knowing what it takes to win. When it comes to submitting offers, relationships are just as important as the terms and price. When you work with a top agent/team, you have a greater chance of getting your offer accepted due to low risk to the seller, which is also important in a multiple offer situation. We pass on our tight relationships and offer advice to all of our clients.
In addition to our market expertise, our clients receive design advice from our Listing Manager who can help point out value-add opportunities.
In 2022, 222 single-family homes (12% of total solds) sold off-MLS in Marin County (Source: BAREIS MLS). These listings are marketed via office exclusives, Top Agent Network, and old-fashioned word of mouth. If you are not working with a top agent, you wouldn't stand a chance to know about them. It is in a buyer's best interest to buy off-MLS because of the limited/reduced competition. Learn more about off market listings.
Estimate your monthly mortgage payment, including the principal and interest, property taxes, and HOA. Adjust the values to generate a more accurate rate.
In our initial conversation we will identify your motivation to buy, your timeline, and exactly what your looking for!
We will connect you to the best lenders so you can receive a pre-approval letter and preferably, a fully underwritten mortgage credit approval letter.
Let the fun begin! We will share upcoming, on market and off market opportunities to get you exclusive access to homes of interest.
We know what it takes to win. We will guide you through offer strategy and advise you on how to structure the most competitive offer that has your goals in mind first.
Congratulations, it's time to open escrow!
Closing day! The day we've all been waiting for - moving day and keys received!
"Benjamin Faber did an amazing job helping sell the family home in the east bay. He is hard-working, attentive, personable, and provides thoughtful feedback and great suggestions all the way along. I consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable about real estate, and stubborn to boot, but he was able to gently change my mind on certain issues that in retrospect were essential to a smooth, successful sale. Ben knows the market, and how to set up a "win-win" for both buyers and sellers. I have observed over a couple of transactions that Ben...
"Benjamin Faber did an amazing job helping sell the family home in the east bay. He is hard-working, attentive, personable, and provides thoughtful feedback and great suggestions all the way along. I consider myself to be fairly knowledgeable about real estate, and stubborn to boot, but he was able to gently change my mind on certain issues that in retrospect were essential to a smooth, successful sale. Ben knows the market, and how to set up a "win-win" for both buyers and sellers. I have observed over a couple of transactions that Benjamin seems to have a real gift in marketing homes to the right buyer. Selling a family home is always a little bit emotional, and Ben managed to find a buyer that seemed perfect and made us feel good about the whole transaction. They sent in a great cover letter and were as interested in the house and its history as we had been when we first bought it. That made letting go - walking through it for the last time, looking out the windows for the last time, watering the garden for the last time - a whole lot easier. All-in-all, Benjamin is a hard-working, effective, and pleasant agent, and we were lucky to be able to work with him."
"Ben sold a property I held for 30 years. He exceeded my best-case sale price by a wide margin and I always looked forward to and was happy to take his calls. It was one of the most enjoyable, effective, and rewarding business transactions I've had in my 35 plus year career. I interviewed and received proposals from 4 of Marin's top 25 agents. Ben stood out. He drove an hour to meet me in person and to discuss current market conditions and selling scenarios. He spent a significant amount of time with me subsequently co-creating a strate...

He spent a significant amount of time with me subsequently co-creating a strategy to get top dollar for my place. He respected my needs and I felt supported, like a trusted partner, never pressured or pushed, and he delivered on all his commitments throughout the process. In my opinion, a few key quality attributes are missing from the star review above: Strategy expertise, Earns the tr confidence, and efficiency."
"We first worked with Ben while buying our first house in 2014 and were so impressed with his thorough and professional work, that we immediately thought about him when the time came to sell it. As a buyer agent, he actively sought and suggested houses to view to meet our unusual criteria, and once we chose to make an offer, guided us through the process and helped to understand reports, loan arrangements, and so on.

As a seller agent, he understood our specific priorities, he and his team did a fantastic job of prepping the house for listing within a month, kept the process organized, created amazing marketing materials, and kept us well-informed and at the same time not too overwhelmed and distracted throughout the process. The house was sold 10 weeks after we made the decision and called Ben to put it on the market."
