What's particular about buying here

Reports before offers

Many San Francisco sellers provide disclosure packages and inspection reports before offers are due. Asher reviews them with you so an offer is made with a clear view of the property.

Competitive offers

Desirable properties can attract several offers. Price is one lever; terms, timing and contingencies are others. Asher helps you decide which to use, and when to walk away.

Building and ownership type

Condominiums, TICs and multifamily buildings each come with different documents, financing options and obligations. These are reviewed before you commit.

Rent-controlled units

If a property includes tenants, local tenant protections may apply. Asher flags this early and recommends review by qualified counsel.

Before you start

Do I need to be pre-approved before viewing homes?
It isn't required to start, but it's strongly recommended before making an offer. Asher can introduce you to independent lenders.
Is there an agreement before we start touring?
Yes. California requires a written buyer representation agreement before touring properties together. It sets out the scope of representation and compensation, which is negotiable.
Can you help if I'm relocating or buying from abroad?
Yes. Virtual viewings, video walkthroughs and remote document review make it possible to search from anywhere, with in-person viewings arranged when you visit.
Do you represent buyers on new developments?
Yes. Development experience is particularly useful here, for reading plans, specifications and what a finished building is likely to deliver.
