There was a couple of things we really liked about the condo we bought in Fremont. The first was the location because we liked the area and schools. Also, it was close to BART. Second, we liked that the condo has a lot of sunlight. This was not the first house we looked at. I found one condo before which I had also worked with Paymon on aEUR" in fact, thats when I engaged Paymon. It was kind of luck that we met, but it also just clicked for us. I felt that everything he said made sense and I was able to understand his language. I didnt feel the need to seek out another agent, because I was happy with Paymon. Even though the bid for this condo didnt go through, it was a learning experience because Paymon was able to explain to me what went wrong so that I could learn from my mistakes. The second time I made a bid, I won the condo.This was our first time buying a home, so we did not have much experience of how things work. But Paymon and his agent, Corinne, were very transparent, which I appreciated. I was able to be frank with Paymon about what I could afford, what kind of property I wanted, and what my criteria was. I always felt very comfortable speaking to him about my requirements. Once we decided on a condo, Paymon continued to help me out with the closing process. Corinne recommended a broker who was able to close on the loan in 15 days. Most banks told me it would take a whole lot longer to close. Being able to close faster helped me win the bid. Paymon also helped me to decide how much I should actually bid for the condo. This is a very complicated market. Sometimes even higher prices dont win you the bid because certain areas are in such high demand. I am no expert on the current market, but Paymon was able to give me a very clear picture of the market. He showed me what a similar apartment sold for 6 months ago and gave me an understanding the current market. Initially, we had reservations about considering properties listed at a certain amount because we didnt want to go beyond our budget. But Paymon was able to give me some perspective. He explained that if we increased our budget by $10,000 - $15,000 it could get us the apartment we wanted with minimal impact on our down payment or monthly payments. And we would be out of the market. He gave us really good information. Obviously, the end decision was ours, but he groomed us to make that decision.I would definitely recommend Paymon. His knowledge is impeccable. Before buying a house, most of us think we know the market, but we do not. Paymon is the right person to help with all this stuff. He knows the area in and out, and he knows the market in and out. Particularly, he knows what is needed to win the bid. Hes been doing this for the last 20 - 25 years in the area so hes really good.

Paymon really went to bat for us. I'm a single mom with 4 kids and it was important that we stay in Palo Alto because I didnt want my kids to have to change schools. So I resigned myself to living in another 2-bedroom townhouse and just making it work. At first, I was really discouraged because even the townhouses were priced out of my range once the bidding started aEUR" sometimes well above asking price. But Paymon found us a 4 bedroom house close to my kids schools, parents home, and a park! The chances of me moving into a 2,000 square foot house would not have been possible without Paymon. He had a vision for us aEUR" and he made it happen. I like to joke that through this process we were taking a ride on the aEURoePaymon ExpressaEUR? because he had this network of people that did everything: gardener, contractor, plus a team of people to help us with the loans. I didnt realize that Paymon would be there through the entire process, but he was. He handled all the negotiations, making it very easy for us and getting us the best deal possible on this house. Weve been through a lot, renting and moving for years. Its nice to have a place we can call home, thats permanent enough that we can plant some flowers and a vegetable garden. This is more than buying a home, this is buying a life. I can see this house being in our family forever. I envision my kids growing up here and then coming back to do laundry after theyve moved out. Paymon was a miracle worker. He was able to imagine for me what I couldnt imagine for myself. I still cant believe we have a house of our own aEUR" its almost too good to be true. Sometimes, I have to pinch myself to make sure its all real.

In this competitive market (bay area), it's really important to have a strong team (realtor + lender) to buy a home. When it comes to selecting a realtor, then you can not go wrong with Corinne from Paymon Real Estate Group. There are few things which makes her unique and the best as compared to other realtors in the market. Firstly- expertise, I really wanted a realtor who could give me feedback about the property from her years of experience, I did work with few agents who'd just tell me things about the property which is already available online on redfin or trulia, rather I wanted a deeper insight and true info about the property, so that's where Corinne was always there to give me detailed analysis of the property. Secondly- good network/connections, this is very important when it comes to closing a deal in the highly competitive market. Since she has worked for so many years and closed so many deals that agents actually know her so this makes the entire buying process smooth. Thirdly- good understanding of the market/negotiation skills, when it comes to buying a home then of course you can overpayA and win the bidding war and get the home, but a good deal is where you get your offer accepted out of multiple offers by being barely above than the highest offer, this is where her expertise comes in where she can find the right value of the property based on the market. For instance, at one point I got so desperateA to close the deal that I asked her to increase offer but she actually cares about every penny of her clients so she made sure to not over pay, played strategically, and ended up closing the deal. Lastly- patience and caring, as a first time buyer I was having a hard time going through the documents, reports, contracts, but she explained me everything step by step, put her efforts to read all the reports, and summarize it for me, and made things easier for me overall which made me feel confident about the purchase. She also goes out of way for her clients, that even after 1 month of the purchase she helped and advised me on ways how to do small fixes in the house, and helped way more than expected to make sure I am fully satisfied and happily settled in my home. If you are looking for a realtorA to purchase a home in the bay area then I highly recommend Corinne!!! (She isn'tA just confined to one area like other realtors, she knows in and out about all the markets- Peninsula, South Bay, Fremont, Hayward, Dublin, and surrounding areas.) Thank you Corinne!!!

I actually referred Paymon to a friend before using him myself. She was looking for a house and not satisfied with the realtors she was using. I had met Paymon a few years before when I was thinking of buying a house in the area but didnt go through with it. Within the first two minutes of talking to him, it was clear to me that he was very knowledgeable. So when my friend told me how unhappy she was with the realtor she was using, I suggested Paymon. Within a month, she bought a house she loved. So when I started looking again, I went straight to Paymon. We must have seen about 30 houses together in Redwood City and Menlo Park. Paymon was very knowledgeable about the area. He knew which neighborhoods were growing -- which was important since I was also looking at this on the investment side and planned to sell in the future. If I found a house in a not-so-good neighborhood, he would tell me not to look in that location at all, which saved me lots of time. Hes lived in the area for many years, so he knows all the streets. There were houses I saw and liked, but Paymon would let me know what the problems were and why I wouldnt want to live there. He could have just made the easy sale and collected his money, but he wanted to make sure I was happy with the house I bought. Paymon is on top of the market, but more importantly, he has skin in the game. He is also buying and selling houses himself. When I finally found a house that passed the threshold of what I wanted, I made an offer. At around 4 oclock that day, I got a call back saying my offer was one of the top 3 and did I want to change it. Since I really liked the house, I decided to increase the offer. Paymons insight helped me decide how much to raise the offer, and I got the house. Paymon also recognizes how fast the market rates can change and encouraged me not to wait because he knew interest rates were going to go up soon aEUR" so I got in at a 3% rate instead of 4%. Paymon is friendly, kind, and knows everyone aEUR" other realtors, loan agents, contractors aEUR" which is helpful. He looks at the long-term relationship, not the short-term gain. I will continue to recommend Paymon and will definitely use him again when I buy another house.
