I love my buyers! For buyers, the first step is to help educate you on the process of buying a home, including the parts of the contracts and how they function, the finance side, current market strategies and trends, and to direct you to top quality lenders who will best serve your needs. Next is to find out the type of home, location, and price range you want, and from there it’s full throttle to accomplish your goals. I make myself very available to see properties with you at your convenience, I’m always on the lookout for you, and I always try to get you the best deal possible. I never pressure my clients to go for any properties, or to raise your price beyond your comfort zone or ability. Whether you are lucky in your first attempt or if it takes many, I’m super patient and there for you every step of the way.
I love my sellers! For sellers, it’s most important to show your home in the best light possible. For all of my listings, I use the highest quality of marketing materials, including top-notch photography, brochures, property websites, well hosted open houses, and much more. First is always a site visit; I will evaluate your home and recommend how to best prepare your home for market. I recommend taking actions that will get you your best bang for your buck! From there, I will arrange to have everything done and oversee the process; I have a wide network of contractors and vendors to help get your home looking great. I always look for the best solutions to get your home sold the quickest it can be done, netting you the most money possible with the least hassle and disruption to your life.
My Sold Listings
“Elan was an excellent agent for us. He went at our pace, but continued to let us know when listings became available and was always ready to go see houses that we wanted to see. We would definitely use Elan again for future housing needs. Steve R & Kerry M, Alameda Buyers”
“Elan Chertock came highly recommended and we’ve never regretted choosing him as our broker. He was friendly, very professional and not at all pushy. From the first, he offered to help us in any way and boy did we need help! We were first time sellers and Elan turned out to be perfect for us. He initially recommended we renovate the very dated kitchen and that turned out to be good advice, we got a lot more for our condo than we originally thought. He was very responsive to our many, many questions and needs. His knowledge of real estate really helped during a very challenging time – we would recommend him to any one buying or selling a property. Barbara S, Alameda Seller”
