WHY HIRE ME ::

My familiarity with East Bay neighborhoods and their amenities combined with my
strategic business acumen allows us to explore options not previously imagined.
My expertise comes from specialized real estate training in contract risk management
and negotiation tactics.
My approach to home valuation is appreciated by both buyers and sellers. Rather than
rely solely on online estimates, I also bring intuitive awareness and smart decision-making
strategies to our work together.
Client referrals are the heart of my business. I am humbled by what my clients say about
my work. They appreciate my integrity, great communication and strong relationships
with brokerage and business communities.

“You were more than we could’ve dreamed of …
Thank you again for going above and beyond. We
want to make sure you know how happy we are that
we chose you as our Realtor. You were more than we
could’ve dreamed of – and we appreciate you more
than you know. I wish we could leave you a hundred
good reviews.”

-Liesl and Ryan

“Above and beyond other agents…
We were introduced to Murline through her postcard
mailers, our community garage sales and annual
food drive (both of which she coordinated). She was
extremely helpful and professional, with excellent
follow-through. Her attention to detail was above
and beyond other listing agents. Her flyers were
better than any we have seen…. We received
multiple offers, all over asking, and our home sold
quickly!’’

-Sandy and Mike

“Murline was amazing….
I would recommend her with 10 stars if I could! We
used a VA loan, which made the process more complex.
Murline was amazing and so helpful. She worked
tirelessly…. She is such a hard worker, ethical and very
motivated to help out her clients.’’

-Mike and Megan

WORKING WITH SELLERS ::

Creating excitement about your home and highlighting its best features is
central to my job. I’ll show your home to the highest number of potential
buyers, aiming for the best price and a seamless close of escrow.

CONTRACTUAL CLARITY
We’ll discuss your expectations, needs and goals, and then review my fees.

DISCLOSURE AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
I review the importance of disclosures and guide you through the documentation.

PREPARING TO SELL
I attend all inspections, help determine necessary maintenance, and coordinate updates by
painters and other contractors.

SHOWCASE VALUE - STAGING
If you desire, special projects — chosen for their excellent cost-to-value ratio — can be executed
by my qualified contractors within a budget we oversee. Then I add the sparkle by working with a
local designer to stage your home.

MARKETING
Making a great first impression is vital. A top Bay Area PHOTOGRAPHER and our Paragon designer
will collaborate on your PRINT BROCHURE featuring enticing copy and beautiful images. Photos
and property features are uploaded to your PROPERTY WEBSITE and populated to Realtor.com,
Trulia, Zillow, Yahoo, Redfin, and other high-profile sites. An email blast promoting your property
will be sent to over 2000 local agents.

NEGOTIATION
I present all offers and counsel you on which one has terms that meet or — exceed — your goals.

COMMUNICATION
I update you daily, weekly and sometimes moment-by-moment throughout the pre-planning,
contract and escrow stages.

FRIENDSHIP
We’ll have fun and find success together; I want to be in your real estate life forever!

WORKING WITH BUYERS ::

Finding the right home is about price, square footage and, most of all, your
lifestyle. I’ll take you through all the steps to find and purchase a property
where you feel truly at home.

YOU HAVE MY FULL ATTENTION
I ask questions and then listen to your needs, concerns and dreams. I help you traverse the
home-buying landscape; we discuss options and potential outcomes all along the way.
LOAN REFERRAL
I suggest reputable vetted lenders that become a core member of your advocacy team.
FINDING THE RIGHT PROPERTY
Viewing selected properties together, we talk about how to evaluate a home’s amenities,
condition and potential. I set up MLS search criteria to find listings that fit your parameters. As
your criteria change, I refine the results for you.
PROPERTY EVALUATION
When a property meets our criteria, we carefully review inspections, title search, seller’s
disclosures and reports – and distinguish genuine flaws from superficial fluff.
NEGOTIATION
I collaborate with you, your lender and the listing agent to craft a winning offer. My carefully
planned strategy ensures your offer hits just the right number — as you may not get a second
chance.
OFFER ACCEPTED!
The critical part of your purchase begins here. I take the lead on your behalf, drilling down on
the home’s condition, the seller’s disclosures and all inspections and reports.
FINISHING TOUCHES
I communicate clearly about the contingency release periods for inspections and the appraisal
outcome and loan status, updating you all the way through escrow.
