Five Stars for The DiMaggio Betta Real Estate Group

|
Debbi, Adam, Chase, and their team were an absolute dream to work with. My wife and I were first time home buyers and knew very little about the process. They walked us through everything we needed to know (what to look for in disclosures, what questions we should be asking, what things we should watch out for when touring open houses, etc.) and made us feel completely at ease. They always provided us sage advice and their depth of experience in the area where we were looking (Oakland/Piedmont/Montclair) was invaluable. They were always able to tell us the pros and cons of certain neighborhoods, whether listings were overpriced or underpriced, and give us great guidance on offer strategy. We ended up in a competitive bid process for the house we closed on and they worked overtime on our behalf to ensure we got it. Not only were they incredibly helpful in the buying process, but they have also been a huge help as we work to address a couple of home improvements that we want to take care of. This is once again where their experience in the area pays huge dividends. They have an extensive network of contractors, handymen, electricians, etc. that they’ve been able to connect us with. We know that if Team DiMaggio Betta is referring us to these folks, we can trust them. We’re now moving into the house of our dreams and it wouldn’t have been possible without Adam, Debbi, Chase, and team. They were true partners in this hunt and after the close. We couldn’t recommend them more highly. You’re in great hands with this team and we look forward to working with them in the years to come. —Scott Buckley We look forward to helping you with all of your real estate needs.

Mastering the Art of Patience: Thriving In Today’s Real Estate Market as a Seller

Not all homes fit all. In this market Sellers must remain patient.
Buyers are more picky than ever, they aren’t in a rush, rates are up, and they are more thoughtful of the home they choose to invest in.
There’s more due diligence occurring before an offer is made.
Remaining patient is key, just ask a few of our recent clients who waded through the last year with their homes on the market, some, for months. But they did eventually sell and they did not change agents due to fluctuating market conditions due to local and national events.
Here are top 3 Things A Seller Should Understand In A Changing Market:
Teamwork and Collaboration: Cooperation between listing and selling agents is helpful, as is the teamwork between a listing agent and their client. Everyone has the same goal in mind, so being kind towards one another only helps to lessen the stress of a financially significant decision.
Open Communication: Open communication is quite important in any transaction. Speaking on the phone rather than through a text or email can be crucial to making a deal happen. What you learn in a live conversation only helps to clarify what may show up differently or negatively in an email or text. The tone of what is being relayed is significant.
Proper Preparation: Sellers need to understand that Buyers make a snap decision based on what they see online to whether they are going to preview a home in person or skip it, so a Seller must properly prepare their home for market. To prepare a home for market, painting and staging are first and foremost. Each home is at various stages at being ready for market, for a complete list please refer to a recent video blog which discusses what we did to one home.
We thank our patient clients who stood by us, as we stood by them as well, during this changing and evolving real estate market. Read a few testimonials.
