The buyer’s guide

With layers of options, our website lets you search every active MLS listing by community, price, bedrooms, bathrooms and property type — on a grid, a list or a map — revealing the details that matter most to you. Your neighborhood is an extension of your home. Neighbors, surroundings, and access to everyday things can and should factor into your home-buying decision, and our community guides provide background on each of the six communities Zeev serves.

Once you have identified the neighborhoods that you are most interested in, note the homes that best meet your needs and send them to Zeev. From there, we’ll see the homes you like and help you coordinate the best time for you to see them.

Another helpful tool is a listing alert. Fill out your desired search criteria (community, price, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.) and send it to Zeev, so he can follow up when a new home meets your criteria.

When we’re ready to start looking at homes in person, it’s best to start with a consultation with a lender. We are happy to recommend a trusted professional who can talk to you about your financing options.

We’ll work together to get an accurate idea of your price range, an estimate of your monthly payments, and a pre-approval letter, so we can move quickly if need be. Refining your “wants” and “needs” list will help us identify what’s most important to you, including both the location and the house itself. Preview your favorites through our website. Once we narrow your list, we’ll plan an itinerary together.

We will typically tour homes together alongside any co-buyers, friends, or family you’d like to join. Homeowners usually aren’t home, so you’re free to spend as little or as much time as you want. You may have a gut reaction when visiting a home. First impressions count, but we’ll advise you on home values and help evaluate priorities in the context of what’s available in your price range.

Sometimes buyers find their future home the first time out, and others look at several before they see one that checks all their boxes. It’s a good idea to see at least a few alternatives so you have some points of comparison, but sometimes you just know a place is where you want to live.

Look beyond the staging and decorative items to see the features and fixtures that convey with the house.

As your trusted partner for your home search, feel free to reach out at any time should you have any questions about any of the homes we tour.
