🏡PRO TIP for Homebuyers!

Buying a $2,000,000 home with 30% down payment and 6.5% interest rate?

Instead of asking for a $20,000 reduction of price, ask for a seller credit of $20,000 to lower your interest rate.

Here’s why:

💸 $20,000 reduction saves you about $120/month in payments.

📉 Rate Credit: Lowers your rate down and saves you about $325/month in payments.

Same $20,000 — but almost 3x more in monthly savings when used to lower your rate!

💡 Always check with your lender to see how much a credit can lower your rate.

📉 Mortgage rates dip to 6.63%, marking the lowest level since April. This drop boosts buyer affordability, with further declines possible by late 2025 if trends continue.

🔍🏡 As a realtor, finding the house isn’t enough.

78% of buyers begin their search online, yet 97% still trust an agent to guide them.

Why?

Because knowing the true value of a home takes experience.
Crafting a winning offer means smart negotiation and strategy.

Every seller and every property is unique, so every approach should be, too.

When you’re ready, give me a call.

JUST SOLD — Represented the Buyer! 🏡

This Millbrae home had 13 offers on the table. We started the negotiations being in the 4th position, competing against a higher all-cash offer and the highest being a financed offer.

Through persistence and a price increase (becoming the 2nd highest offer), and a shorten escrow from 14 days to 7 days, we became the winning offer — even without being the highest bid.

As the saying goes, it’s not where you start, it’s where you finish. We finished at a win-win.

My client loves this home and already has a beautiful vision for its future. Thrilled to have helped them make it theirs!

🙌🏻 Agent Peer Review - Grateful for a ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟 ⭐️ review from my fellow peer.

Matt McCormick - Coldwell Banker Los Altos

"I had the opportunity to work with Lili Chen for the first time. My buyers were very specific for what they were looking for and what they could afford. Lili answered every question and followed up immediately if there were questions only the seller would know. She is definitely a future super star in this industry and I was honored to work alongside her in making sure both the buyers and sellers met their objectives. Not easy to do in this market. Highly recommend Lili Chen as a top tier agent for the Silicon Valley.”
