Their professionalism and anticipation of all needs and incredible coordination of all the seemingly endless details was second to none. Their advice, counseling, and commitment to supporting us was palpable day in and day out. We could not have been happier and never imagined the process would be so smooth."

  • "I truly can't recommend Claudia enough! As a first time home buyer, I can't imagine going through this process with anyone but Claudia. The whole process took about 10 months, and Claudia was incredibly patient with me as we went to so many showings. She was able to explain everything each step of the way and I never felt pressured to proceed with a home I wasn't fully in love with. In fact, Claudia encouraged me not to proceed with a house after we received a subpar inspection. Ultimately, Claudia worked magic getting me my dream house and I can't thank her enough! 11/10 stars!!"

  • "Claudia went above and beyond as a realtor and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in this area, especially a first time home buyer. She was knowledgeable about the market, incredibly responsive and communicative with my many questions, attended showings with me on short notice, and helped me write a competitive offer. Importantly, she struck the right balance between being collaborative and providing guidance when needed, but never pushing me in a particular direction. She was in close communication with listing agents at places I was interested in, which was hugely beneficial, and also helped resolve a curveball that I encountered ahead of closing. Claudia is very savvy, professional, and also has a calm demeanor, which I really appreciated when challenges or issues arose. Would highly recommend!"

  • "Claudia was absolutely amazing during the entirety of my home/condo buying experience! My list of potential properties included several new construction buildings for which Claudia was very knowledgeable about the caveats that come along with purchasing a new construction condo. She informed me what I should expect at each step of the home-buying process and offered advice which led to the seller accepting my offer well-under list price. She's also extremely friendly and personable and available to show properties on short notice. I would 100% recommend her to be your realtor!"

She’s very responsive and organized! She’s a professional, first! But, also very friendly, transparent, welcoming and she truly cares for her clients.

  • "Claudia was very helpful from start to finish of my home buying process. This was my first time buying a home through Redfin and she provided me all the required guidance on all aspects of this process including lending, offer/negotiation strategies, inspection, contingencies, timelines, vendor suggestions, and final closing. Even after closing, Claudia continues to support me with local resources and contacts which has made my settling in to my new house significantly easier. Claudia is very detail oriented, a great negotiator and is quite proactive with follow-ups with concerned parties. She makes sure her clients' best interests are always represented. She is also very prompt via texts and calls, literally any time of the day! Claudia has been a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her for anyone who is serious about their home buying process."

  • "Claudia was wonderful to work with, and we highly recommend her! She was very patient with all of our questions as first-time buyers, and she was so supportive throughout the whole process. Every time we met in person, texted, talked on the phone, and emailed with her, she treated us like her only client. She was a great resource for us all the way through closing and was quick to help us navigate any complications as they came up. She is a great problem solver and is so easy to work with! We look forward to working with her again."

  • "Claudia was recommended to us by a friend and we couldn’t have found a better realtor. As first time home buyers, Claudia was very patient with us and we never felt pressured. She explained everything clearly and was always organized and on top of things. We highly recommend her!"

    - Morgan Frost, Google Reviews

  • "Claudia is a fantastic realtor to work with! From the beginning, she was communicative, transparent, and responsive. Above all, she truly cares for her clients and it shows in her work and interactions. She is patient and emphasizes that she doesn't push her clients into anything they don't feel comfortable with moving forward on. Throughout the process, she thoroughly explained anything I had questions about and was extremely organized, tracking down answers and responding to any concerns I had. I was on the search for about 6-7 months for a single bedroom condo (in a challenging market) and was glad I had Claudia to guide me every step of the way! I could not recommend Claudia more."

    - Erica Wiener, Google Reviews

  • "Claudia is hands-down the most committed, hardworking, and knowledgeable real estate agent I have ever worked with. I had the pleasure of having her help with both the home-buying (2022) and selling processes (2024), and with each interaction she brought a tremendous wealth of resources and experience that made me feel informed and confident every step of the way. Whether you are a first time homebuyer or not, I would strongly recommend Claudia to ensure your entire process goes as smoothly as possible. She is an invaluable resource and I truly wish I could take her with me for all future real estate needs."

FAQ

  • Let's meet in-person or virtually to discuss your needs and goals, my services and value, and the step by step process to buying or selling.

  • Being ready to buy a home involves several key factors that ensure a smooth transaction. First, it's essential to assess your financial situation, including credit score, savings for a down payment, and overall budget. Understanding your financing options, such as mortgages and interest rates, is also crucial. Additionally, having a clear idea of your timeline, desired location, home type, and essential features will help streamline the search process. Finally, enlisting the help of a qualified real estate agent can provide guidance and support throughout the home-buying journey.

  • 1. Pre-Approval: Before shopping for a home, buyers usually get pre-approved for a mortgage to understand their budget.

    2. Home Search: Buyers then search for homes, either online or with a real estate agent, to find properties that meet their needs.

    3. Making an Offer: Once a suitable home is found, the buyer makes an offer to purchase, often with the help of their agent.

    4. Negotiation: The seller may accept, reject, or counter the offer. Negotiations can include price, contingencies, and closing date.

    5. Home Inspection: After an offer is accepted, the buyer typically arranges for a home inspection to identify any issues with the property.

    6. Finalizing the Loan: The buyer works with their lender to finalize the mortgage, providing any required documentation.

    7. Closing: At the closing meeting, the buyer signs all necessary paperwork, pays closing costs, and receives the keys to their new home.

    8. Move-In: Once the transaction is complete, the buyer moves into their new home.

    This process can take several weeks to a few months, depending on various factors like market conditions and financing.
