How to Win in Silicon Valley
“Most buyers lose bidding wars in Silicon Valley. Here’s why mine don’t.”
That’s not a flex—it’s a fact.
Silicon Valley real estate isn’t for the faint of heart. Every listing sparks a frenzy, and the average buyer walks in like they’re ordering off a menu. They submit boilerplate offers with no context, no leverage, and no shot.
We don’t play like that.
Here’s how my clients win when most others don’t:
1. We Call Before We Write
Almost no one does this.
I call the listing agent before we draft a single word. Why? Because winning means understanding what the seller actually cares about—timing, contingencies, rent-backs, emotional connection to the home, whatever it is. We don’t guess. We ask. And we listen.
2. We Tailor Every Offer
This isn’t copy-paste. We customize every offer to hit the seller’s priorities, not just the price. Sometimes it’s flexibility. Sometimes it's a short escrow. Sometimes it's showing serious intent without making it weird. The point is: we shape the offer around them, not just us.
3. We Prove We’ll Close
No fluff, no hand-waving.
We include hard proof—verified financials, lender-prepped files, and clear communication that shows we’re buttoned up. When a seller sees our offer, they know it’s real. That certainty gives us the edge.
If you're buying in the Bay and you want to win, you need more than a good price—you need strategy, clarity, and someone who knows how to position you like a pro.
I don’t write offers that get looked at. I write offers that get accepted.
