 Finding a home is easy.

Buying a home is hard.

We’re here to help you with the hard part.

We protect your money (and your sanity)

It’s very easy to overpay for a home right now. But how do you know what’s enough, and what’s too much? Tens of thousands of dollars hinge on the answer to that question, and we’re prepared to help you answer it.

We’ll help you get it right

That means due diligence, a fancy legal term for being careful. How do you know if a foundation issue is really an issue, or if the roof can really last another ten years, as the seller claims? And what about local zoning ordinances? Is homeowners insurance widely available for this home?

We’ll fight for you

A real estate agent who represents a seller has a legal responsibility to their client to get as much of your money as possible, on the terms least favorable to you. Our job is to have you keep as much of your money as possible, and secure the terms that work best for you.

What homebuyer representation means at Uber Realty

Here’s the truth:

Interest rates are persistently high. Home prices also remain high. Many sellers are resistant to negotiating, even as the number of homes available to buyers grows.

It’s a tough market for buyers.

We said tough, not impossible. If you want to purchase a home right now, we’re prepared to make that happen. It just takes strategy, smarts, and tenacious representation.

These things are what we’re all about.
Here’s what you can count on from us when you hire us to represent you: We’ll save you money

It’s very easy to overpay for a home right now. But how do you know what’s enough, and what’s too much? Tens of thousands of dollars hinge on the answer to that question, and we’re prepared to help you answer it.

Any real estate agent can collect “comparable” sales information. In fact, you can find recent sale prices in your neighborhood right on Zillow. But determining what to offer for a home really hinges on what’s incomparable - what is said, and not said, in the seller’s disclosures, the inspection reports, and in our communication with the seller’s agent.

Believe it or not, most real estate agents don’t have the skill necessary to do these things, or simply don’t bother. Their clients often overpay.

We believe we save our clients more than we charge for our services. That’s what strategy, smarts, and tenacious representation do.

We’ll help you get it right

You’re not buying a toaster, you’re buying a home. The place you live life, an extension of yourself. The stakes are high, financially, of course, but in nearly every other way too. You need to get it right.

We’ll help you get it right. That means due diligence, a fancy legal term for being careful. How do you know if a foundation issue is really an issue, or if the roof can really last another ten years, as the seller claims? And what about local zoning ordinances? Is homeowners insurance widely available for this home?

You need answers to these questions before you close. Because, unlike the toaster, there are no free returns on homes.

We’ll fight for you

A real estate agent who represents a seller has a legal responsibility to their client to get as much of your money as possible, on the terms least favorable to you.

Our job is to have you keep as much of your money as possible, and secure the terms that work best for you. Should we ask the seller for a credit for the sewer lateral upgrade? Do we agree to a 30-day close when you really want to move in 10? We may even be able to negotiate a credit to cover the cost of our fee.

This is what tenacious representation is, and we’re great at it. The secret: What a great agent really does

For years, people have believed that what an agent does when they work with buyers is mostly these three things:

1. Find homes and show homes

2. Be a neighborhood guide

3. Manage paperwork

Why do people believe this? They believe this because this is what real estate agents have said they do. Real estate agents have said this because these are the easiest things to do. The secret is this: There are lots of agents who can only do the easiest things. They don’t have the training or skill to do the hard things, the things that matter most for their clients.

Yes, we will help you identify the right home, but the truth is that pretty much every home on the market can be viewed on Zillow, Realtor.com or other search apps. We will also show homes to you, and we know our region as well as anyone.

A great agent does the easy things, but delivers the most value on the hard things: Protecting your money, mitigating your risk, and advocating for you fiercely.

Buyers Representation

Done for You:

We'll take care of everything for you.

We'll set you up with a smart search that helps you find properties that match what you're looking for. You can also check out websites like Zillow, Realtor, Estatley, and Redfin to search for homes on your own.

We also provide a concierge service we connect you with trusted local vendors. We arrange your inspections and follow up with each vendor to make sure you are taken care of.

Our fee for this service is 2-2.5% of the home's price, but we'll work with the seller's agent and the seller to have this fee paid during the transaction.
