Buy with a plan,not a portal form.

Buyer path
How the buy side works
01
Consult and buyer-broker agreement
Start with a private conversation about budget, neighborhoods, and timeline. In California, touring typically requires a signed buyer-broker agreement. Annie works in English and Mandarin. This is not legal advice — your agreement is the controlling document.
02
Lender pre-approval
Get a written mortgage pre-approval (not only pre-qualification) before writing offers. In competitive SGV pockets such as Arcadia and San Marino, sellers commonly expect it. Annie coordinates with your lender; she does not make loan offers.
03
Search, tour, and shortlist
Use Annie’s official listings, neighborhood guides, and live MLS search. Prefer the listing-agent page for homes she lists. Confirm school assignment with the district — marketing never replaces boundary maps.
04
Offer and negotiation
Annie prepares and negotiates the offer using current comps and the home’s condition. Multiple-offer situations are common on well-priced SGV homes. Strategy is case-specific; nothing here is a promise of winning terms.
05
Escrow, inspections, close
A typical California escrow from accepted offer to closing is about 30–45 days. Inspections, disclosures, loan underwriting, and title run in parallel. Buyer independently verifies square footage, lot, zoning, and condition.
This is a typical path, not a promise of price, days on market, or closing date. Real estate commissions are negotiable. For active inventory Annie lists, use the official listing URL rather than a portal lead form.
