Searching for the right home can be a time consuming and painstaking process. There is an enormous amount of information out there and a seemingly unending number of real estate agents hunting for your business without providing any actual value.
Then, once you find the home you want, there’s the matter of negotiating the right price, protecting your investment and making it to the closing table. Navigating this gauntlet is challenging enough, but without the right professional to guide you along the way, the path can be treacherous.
The Insider Program is designed to streamline the home buying process from start to finish to save time and get results. It delivers value at each step in the homebuying process by delivering timely information about the market, focusing on your needs, finding places that fit them and then negotiating to get you the best deal to get you to the closing table.
The Insider Program has a proven track record, getting buyers into contract on their homes in less than an average of two offers and navigating challenges to get deals to the closing table. Check out some of the exclusive benefits below.

Program Details
Off-Market Home Info
Everyone can see the information on the MLS, just go to Zillow or Realtor.com. What those sites don’t have is information about off-market listings and listings coming on the market soon.
A solid understanding of your needs combined with advance knowledge of inventory helps you move quickly and beat out other buyers who are waiting until the next open house or just doing the search alone.
As an Insider, you will have access to off-market and coming soon properties that fit your criteria so that you’re no longer a step behind the crowd.
Insider’s Guides
Insiders Guides are exclusive to Insiders. They contain valuable, detailed information you can’t find elsewhere.
These guides include topics such as:
· An Insider’s Guide to Living on the Coastside
· How to Win in a Seller’s Market
· Power Seller’s Guide (for those selling in addition to buying)
Home Finder Program
Our exclusive home-finder program is designed to streamline the home search process. It starts with the first strategy call where we will go in-depth about your wants and needs. We will also go over your financing and come up with a custom strategy for finding your new home.
Armed with information, the Home Finder Program will identify only properties, on and off market, that meet the specific criteria we identified. We won’t waste our time with properties that may be out of reach, or homes that do not fit the criteria established.
The program is designed to filter the market in order to save time, and to help you avoid the time drain of properties that may be “fool’s gold” – in other words, homes that are priced and presented to be attractive but which are in reality out of reach, or not worth pursuing.
A secondary goal of the program is to identify properties that may be great fits that you may not know about due to the scope of your search.
Using the Home Finder Program versus just going alone on the search will save a considerable amount of time as the only properties you’ll see are viable properties that fit your needs.
Hand Picked Property Alerts
Automated property alerts are easy, but they are limited. Any home that fits a broad criteria is automatically sent to you, without any nuance. That can lead to a time drain as properties that may not fit are evaluated, while others that may be good fits are overlooked.
As an Insider, all of your property alerts are handpicked based upon the criteria that we discussed, so you can rest assured that all of the properties in the alert are worth reviewing.
Offer Analyzer
The Offer Analyzer is a tool used by insiders to help evaluate how successful an offer can be if it were made. This can help save time and help you create offers more likely to be successful.
With the Offer Analyzer, you present the terms that you are considering offering, including price, contingencies and close of escrow date and we will manually analyze the offer and offer suggestions for improving it. We will back up the analysis using the sales of recently comparable properties, local market data and by analyzing competing listings.
At the end of the process, we will evaluate the offer’s chance of success and offer suggestions on how to best craft an offer to maximize your chances of success with the property.
Strategy Calls
Strategy calls are an exclusive element of the Insider Program and are designed to learn the market and work on a strategy for success. For 15 minutes every 2 weeks (every week for VIP Insiders) you will have a strategy call with Sean Engmann where you can discuss your home search and seek out advice and suggestions.
These strategy calls begin as soon as you join the program and are integral to planning for a successful home purchase and achieving your goals.
Most agents reserve this time only for buyers who are actively searching and writing offers. By starting earlier in the process, you will be able to develop a better understanding of the market and be able to hone in on exactly what’s important to you. These calls will also prepare you for what to expect during the process so there are no surprises.
Turnkey Move Program (VIP Program)
The Turnkey Move Program is exclusive to VIPs. It includes a fully project managed move to your new place, from identifying movers to including boxes to pack up your stuff.
If you need assistance renting out your new place or an ADU, the Turnkey Move Program also includes a discounted rental listing service at a 50% discount.
