2020 was a weird year and despite the uncertainty, we noticed many people around the Bay Area buying homes to upgrade their personal work spaces while we were sheltering in place. My husband and I fell into this camp. This was the year, we decided, that we were going to take the plunge and become first time homeowners, in the Bay Area no less. I got the Bellings Brothers' names from a college friend of mine, and reached out to Aaron to dive into this extremely daunting process. From the very first conversation we had with him, Aaron put us at ease and assured us he would be there for us every step of the way. I approached our relationship with a bit of healthy skepticism, assuming all realtors make that promise initially. But Aaron absolutely, 100% delivered on his promise.Maybe it was because we had heard so many horror stories of house-hunting in San Francisco, maybe it was because my parents were going through a similar house-hunting process on the other side of the country and it was (honestly) a bit of a nightmare - but I was nervous that buying a house would be an extremely time consuming, harrowing task. Well it did take us a bit of time, but it was ridiculously painless because Aaron walked us through it every step of the way. A few examples of things that went great:-The first time we absolutely loved a house, Aaron was honest with us about the fact that the bid we were considering may not be competitive enough to seal the deal, but he encouraged us to go through with the offer anyways so that we could get familiar with the process (pre-approval, reading disclosures, signing the offer documentation, drafting an personal intro letter, etc). That first time was super nerve-wracking, but having Aaron walk us through the whole process helped us learn the ropes, even though we didn't end up getting the place.-As first time home-buyers, we had a lot of questions (especially since we were trying to buy during a pandemic). We wanted Aaron's opinion on everything, from working with lenders to how we should think through inspections, to how contingencies work. He always took great care in answering all our questions in great detail. I appreciated his patience and willingness to walk us through the basics. -Aaron was very proactive about sending us listings. Many were misses, but he took all feedback seriously, factored it in, and kept sending us more listings until we found the one we loved.-I think I always imagined that a realtor's job was done once they got an offer accepted for you, but after we got the offer accepted was when Aaron actually stepped up his game even more (didn't think it was possible...). In the days after our offer was accepted, there were a LOT of parties that needed coordinating with, a lot of documents to sign, and a lot of dates to keep up with. Aaron program managed the WHOLE thing and came in so so clutch for us. He was on top of all email correspondences, he followed up when we didn't hear back from someone, he kept us on track to meet all deadlines, he gave us clear next steps so we knew exactly what would be expected of us. This was probably the most value he added aside from getting us the actual dream home.-Last but not least - they say they treat you like family, and I do genuinely feel that they did that. From keeping in touch with us after the offer, to checking in on us after we moved, Aaron has made time for us, and we genuinely appreciate it.Things that could have gone better - -Wish we weren't in a pandemic :)-Sometimes Aaron would send us properties that were a bit over our price value, which could be frustrating because the places were AWESOME but simply more than what we wanted to spend. He was always super receptive to feedback and willing to adjust the searches, so I don't really even see this as a negative, more of him just testing out the waters with us.-That's really it.I would highly highly highly recommend these guys to any of my friends, especially first-time homebuyers.
