Elan helped us buy our first home, a daunting experience that he made relatively easy for us. As first-time home buyers, we entered the real estate market with zero knowledge of how things worked and a long list of requirements and amenities. Somehow, he managed to find the perfect home for us in our ideal location, and Elan expertly helped us through the buying process. Granted, it took a solid eight months of looking at all kinds of houses, and Elan was with us every step of the way. The Bay Area real estate market is intense to say the least - theres so much competition, bids that are $100k+ over asking price, the list goes on... We really appreciated Elans patience and non-pushy attitude with us as we took our time putting in multiple offers and waiting for the right house. Once our offer had been accepted, Elan also helped us secure a loan, deal with the inspection and negotiate with the sellers (which ended up being very much in our favor). We thoroughly enjoyed working with Elan - hes super personable, friendly and honest. We look forward to working with him on future home sales and purchases.

I cant recommend Elan highly enough. He helped us buy our first home, and he made the entire process clear and straightforward. He met with my partner and I for an hour and a half at our first meeting taking us through the entire home-buying process and all the different steps involved, discussed what kind of home we were looking for and what areas, and asked us about our expectations and interests as far as timeline and financial parameters. At first we were looking casually, and at no point did we ever feel rushed or pressured by Elan to be looking more or to be putting down offers -- he completely let us go at our own pace and followed our lead. What really impressed me though is that once we were ready to seriously look for a home, we were in constant communication and he was always responsive to our emails/texts/calls, and never tired of our questions. He helped us determine what the best offer prices would be, what would be a competitive offer or not, what all the different contingency options could be and the pros/cons of each one, etc. He knows this business backwards and forwards, has extensive contacts of inspectors, contractors, loan officers, etc., and knows the Bay Area market well. On the house we finally got, he actually negotiated us below asking so we got a great deal -- which so rarely happens in this market right now! What has continued to impress me is that even after we closed on the house and he is technically no longer our realtor, he has continued to help us negotiate with contractors, give us contractor recommendations on the work that needs to get done, and remains a resource to us as we become new homeowners. I will absolutely use Elan again if we ever need to sell our home or buy another home, and I have been recommending him to all our friends who are looking for realtors. He is seriously the best.
