We pride ourselves on a strategic, cooperative approach that significantly enhances your buying experience.


Expert Guidance and Tailored Support

From Your Buyer's Agent, Brad Kerr:

  • Market Insights: Brad provides essential insights into current market dynamics and property values, equipping you with the knowledge to make well-informed decisions.
  • Personalized Home Selection: I will use his thorough market understanding to guide you to properties that meet your needs and desires.
  • Strategic Bidding: With Brad's guidance, you'll be prepared to place compelling offers that stand out in a competitive market, increasing your chances of acquiring your ideal home.

From Your Lender, Scott Nicholson:

  • Efficient Digital Processing: Benefit from our streamlined digital tools for instant approvals and detailed financial analyses, simplifying complex decisions.
  • Appraisal Strategy Management: I offer strategies to address appraisal gaps, maintaining your financial stability and confidence throughout the buying process.


Proactive Contingency Plans for Every Scenario

  • Tight Inventory creates High Competition: Our Digital Offer Process is designed to differentiate your offer from others, enhance transparency and efficiency, and align perfectly with your Buyer's Agent's approach to ensure your bid is compelling.
  • Low Appraisal Values: If the appraisal value is below the contract price, our Appraisal Gap Coverage plan will minimize the additional funds you need to close the gap. It accommodates various down payment levels and helps keep your purchase on track without undue financial stress.
  • Insufficient Seller Compensation: Should the seller offer lower commissions that might not cover your Buyer's Agent's fees, our Commission Gap Strategy provides solutions to bridge this gap, ensuring the transaction proceeds smoothly without extra costs to you.
  • High Interest Rates: In an environment of elevated rates, we implement strategies to enhance affordability, ensuring that your financial needs are met and home financing remains manageable.


Customized Financing Options: We offer a range of financial solutions tailored to your unique circumstances, ensuring affordability and simplicity throughout your home-buying process.


Together, we navigate every step of your home-buying journey, providing expert advice and innovative solutions to ensure you are well-prepared and confident. Let's turn your dream of homeownership into reality with a strong, supportive team by your side!

"Scott and his team did a great job of laying out potential funding scenarios that fit our budget. In the end, we now save $300 per month on our mortgage."

"Scott is the consummate mortgage professional. His creativity to close and duty as a fiduciary are second to none. I'm so grateful to have him in my corner now and in the future, especially with how competitive talk estate is in California! Thank you, Scott, and team!"
