“As a scientist with a biotech firm in So. San Francisco, with a lengthy commute and never-ending job responsibilities, plus a growing family, I needed a very dedicated and flexible real estate resource -- so I met with For Buyers Only Realty. I wanted to somehow use the appreciation equity in our Santa Rosa home to buy a vacant parcel of land – and provide my family with a better long-term lifestyle. First, Gene managed a not-so-straightforward refinance of our home with incredibly favorable terms and at an unbelievably low rate – no one I’ve ever encountered before or since was able to get the rate we did. The cash we took from that refinance was to be used for the land purchase. And amazingly, the seller of the property we chose to buy was both the broker on that sale, and at the very same time, a buyer of a property that Gene, himself was selling – what are the chances of that? But because Gene did and does not list properties – not even his own property for sale – and therefore had an agent representing him to that Buyer (and Seller to us), he was able to successfully manage that tightrope to get both deals done without even a shred of conflict of interest. And, he was able to arrange financing for us with that Seller, also on very favorable terms, yet he did not charge even a single dollar of loan origination fees on that portion of the deal. I see our research in the lab produce a lot of amazing things each day. But in real estate, rarely have I seen such a formula for success.”
