As a first time home buyer at the age of forty-seven and having lived in a rent controlled apartment for twenty-four years in San Francisco, I was searching for an agent that was knowledgeable about the market, well connected, strong negotiator, respectful of time, thoughtful listener and patient. I interviewed several agents and the one that exceeded my expectations during our first conversation was Jason, who was referred to me by a friend and colleague. Jason thoughtfully listened to me providing an overview of why I was deciding to buy a home and the importance of this decision, and then he asked me “how would I define a successful home buying experience?”. This was just the beginning, but truly reflective of his focus on creating an amazing experience for one of this biggest life decisions of buying a home. Over a three week period Jason identified over twenty properties across various neighborhoods, both on and off market properties and within my budget that provided me with a good perspective on the opportunities available to me. As we assessed the different properties Jason guided me back to an intuitive and extremely helpful home buying decision making framework: 1.) price 2.) size 3.) location and 4.) amenities.
