She knows the San Francisco Peninsula very well. She negotiated with listing agents on our behalf, staying within the budget we had set, and gave us sound feedback when we started negotiating price with the seller.<\/p>\n<p>~Lezlie Ramsey<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Jeanine&#8217;s Story<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;My client was my new neighbor who I met only for a few months. She came to me one day and said she was ready to buy. I referred her to my loan officer\/lender due to a great relationship. She decided to work with her bank (she had been with her for a while) and reached out online and got a great quote. I was happy to hear she was happy with her rate and reached out to the loan officer to build our relationship and understand her loan better to keep it as smooth as possible for my client.<\/p>\n<p>I was never able to get a confirmed loan amount which worried me a bit so I was on top of him checking in almost every day. We went into contract and ratified and later found out the loan couldn&#8217;t be supported, therefore, I reached out to my loan officers that I referred her and processed the application and got her the loan at a great rate and kept the COE at 21 days! My lender was on vacation, to say the least, and I was on the phone with him daily to ensure all paperwork was completed to push it through.<\/p>\n<p>My relationship with my lenders and their efforts were able to get this done efficiently and on time for COE. In Addition, I was able to negotiate the home for under market value saving over $100K+.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Luis_Mendoza\"><\/span>Luis Mendoza<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/agent\/luis-mendoza\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3725 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Luis-final.jpg\" alt=\"Luis Mendoza\" width=\"360\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Luis-final.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Luis-final-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Luis-final-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Luis-final-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Luis-final-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Luis-final-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Luis-final-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 43.8889%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">Keller Williams Realty SELA<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">562.205.8262<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">luis.mendoza@kw.com<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.LuisMendozaRealEstate.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">www.LuisMendozaRealEstate.com<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Luis Mendoza is a real estate agent and mortgage broker with Keller Williams Realty-Downey, with 16 years of experience.<br \/>\nHe specializes in listing and selling homes, bringing home sellers top dollar offers on their properties.

That is until I met them at my open house.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">After speaking with them and analyzing their situation, I convinced them to hire me and use my special listing strategy, which causes homes to sell for more than what they&#8217;re actually worth.\u00a0 Within days of listing the home, I brought them 3 offers, all above asking price.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Their earnings made it possible for them to buy the home I had shown them at the open house.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Today, Juanita and Neri, and their two beautiful kids have lived in their Downey home for 5 years, and we have stayed in touch ever since.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"David_Snead\"><\/span>David Snead<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/agent\/david-t-snead\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3726 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Snead.jpg\" alt=\"David Snead\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Snead.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Snead-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Snead-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Snead-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Snead-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Snead-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.roomvu.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/David-Snead-96x96.jpg 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 44.3056%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">Broker, Coldwell Banker Bain<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">425-457-2594<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\">davidtsnead@cbbain.com<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/seattledaves.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">seattledaves.com<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<h3 dir=\"auto\">David&#8217;s Testimonial<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<blockquote><p><i>We genuinely enjoyed our time house-searching with David.
