Karin Sanford. Pleasant Hill Thu Apr 8, 2010

""...our home was only on the market for one day..." The most important trait is trust. Pete was great. I feel he supported us and represented us well. He came up with a price and gave us a lot of information from history on other homes. Everything went well (and) our home was only on the market for one day."
Richard & Annette Emerson. Orinda Sat Oct 15, 2005

""...anytime I needed something, it was provided..." Everything went according to the plan that Pete and the Team had developed for us. Anytime I needed something, it was provided. Timing was very important to us since we were buying and selling a house. Pete did everything to make sure that the closes of escrow were close together. Low and behold, there was a 10-day difference in timing!"
Ed & Maria Villanueva. Pleasant Hill Tue Jul 26, 2005

""...the smoothest real estate experience..." We've had a number of previous experiences where it appeared the agent was working in his or her own best interest rather than ours-Pete was not one of those agents. Pete has the ability to negotiate a solid deal that won't fall apart. It was the smoothest real estate experience."
Mike & Melanie Brent. Lafayette Fri Feb 13, 2004

""...exceeded my expectations..." Personalized service and attention to detail were important to me. Pete and his team exceeded my expectations. Pete made sure that I looked at things from different perspectives to understand the ramification of each decision."
Brian Dulac. Walnut Creek Fri Jun 2, 2006

""...someone who listened, and therefore understood my needs..." Everyone on the team was great! Follow through, explanation of all the reams of paperwork, phone calls, etc...(Pete) helped me find a home I love, he answered my questions, and took the time to represent me on additional on-site viewings. I wanted someone who listened, and therefore understood my needs. Pete did that!"

Property values officially going down in my neighborhood...is it time to make a reasonable offer?

Asked Fri Nov 30, 2007 by Susan - Home Buying in Lafayette - 12 answers

Pete Sabine answered:

Declining market values are caused by home owners agreeing to accept offers significantly lower than the last sold price of a similar home in the same area. Therefore, if Buyers are concerned about purchasing a home now with the chance of property values declining further, Buyers must be willing to pay a purchase price close to the Seller's asking price provided that this asking price is in alignment with the last recent sold price of the best like-kind comparable home.
In other words, real estate value appreciation and depreciation begin with transactions that consistently close above or below the last closed sale. Stability in a real estate market can only occur when Buyers finally agree to pay a price at the last sold price or higher if there is a limited supply of available homes for sale. - Wed Feb 23, 2011
