Eric doesn’t skimp on the gravy. Have a glimpse at what he’ll do for you:






“Look at Me” Enhance on-site exposure with a LISTINGLIGHT™. Plus, our yard signs are designed to connect drive-bys with an Alain Pinel agent skilled in taking upcalls.
“Come to Me” Draw buyers with buzz. Coordinate a mailing campaign alongside special neighbor previews and twilight showings.
Quality Paper Create professional-grade photos to capture the merits of your home. Quality images are key to effective brochures.

In addition, The Montclarion, Ad Review, The Chronicle, and other relevant publications will advertise the property.
Comprehensive Clicks Publish and promote a single-property website unique to your home. Today’s buyers start their search on the web. They will see your home on popular portals and sites, including Movoto, Trulia, Zillow, Realtor.com and Craigslist. In addition, all Alain Pinel listings are syndicated online.

Targeted Outreach Mine MLS sales data to locate and Eflyer those agents who may have buyers for your particular home. And, draw local brokers to the Broker Tour with edibles.
Staging Subsidy Offset the cost of staging the property. Professional staging should always be considered, to foster appeal.
Luxury Portfolio Enroll high-end listings into this gateway to the world’s most distinctive estates. Alain Pinel Realtors is a charter member of Luxury Portfolio™, Fine Property Collection, a division of the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World.






Know the Contract Meet and educate the buyer on the purchase process ahead. Familiarize you with local practices—e.g., documentation—that differ from Oakland to San Francisco to San Carlos.
Get the Money Connect you with reliable lenders while discussing your financing options. Calculate closing costs to help prepare for sufficient funds.
Get the Money Back Teach you the tax benefits of homeownership, like how much you could expect to deduct in mortgage interest, the impact of loan points, etc.
Heads-Up Study, summarize, and explain seller disclosure packages prior to writing the offer.
Smooth Viewing Augment property showings with mobile MLS access and navigation. (Eric doesn’t get lost.)
Avoid the Dud Preview listings to determine those with real potential and communicate his findings to the client.
In the Know Set up a PowerConnect account for client privileges to the MLS. You can set email notifications to get the scoop on the newest listings, canceled sales, and price reductions…and mark those properties you want Eric to show you. Also, get on the shortlist to receive weekend open house guides.
