Our buyer method

From buying power to closing.

  1. Buying power

    Proof of funds or a pre-approval letter from any lender you choose.

    Know it before you fall for a home. The lender decides how much you can borrow, and you are free to choose any lender.

    How financing works ›

  2. Find and visit homes

    Open houses, our recommendations, off-market listings and scheduled visits.

    We suggest visiting a few open houses to find the home styles you like, then talking with us. We recommend homes, schedule visits and also have off-market listing sources.

  3. Property data and disclosures

    Seller disclosures, listing documents and agent remarks from the MLS.

    Once you are interested in a home, we share the seller's disclosures and the listing agent's remarks, with recent comparable sales and market trends.

  4. Feng shui reading*

    The land, facing and layout of each home.

    Every home you tour gets a feng shui report, which you can discuss with Master Chen, an AI feng shui master. On Max, your broker adds an in-person feng shui review and discusses ways to improve the home's feng shui.

    Feng shui in every plan ›

  5. Broker's price opinion

    A market analysis from recent sales to set your price range. It is not an appraisal.

    Before you offer, we prepare a comparative market analysis from recent sales to help you set a reasonable price range. It is not an appraisal; your lender's appraiser does that.

  6. Offer strategy

    We call the listing agent and shape competitive terms with you.

    Before you write an offer, we ask the listing agent about competing interest and what matters most to the seller, then design the terms with you. Every offer gets a second review** before it is sent.

    How the second review works ›

  7. Negotiation to closing

    Counters, inspection, appraisal, e-signing and escrow, through closing day.

    Counteroffers, inspection, appraisal and escrow, with e-signing on any device. We coordinate the lender and title and fight for your interest at each step until you have the keys.

  8. Credit at closing

    A credit at closing depends on your pricing plan and the compensation the seller offers us.

    Some loan programs limit credits from interested parties. We can work with your lender to wisely use your credit.

    Estimate your credit ›

Offer review

Every offer gets a second review. **

Before an offer goes to the seller, it gets an internal quality check: in-house counsel in Washington; the managing broker in California. Included in every plan.

Olaie is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. About the second review**

  1. Your broker drafts it

    Price, terms and contingencies, written with you.

  2. A second review

    By our in-house counsel for Washington offers, or our managing broker for California offers, before it is sent.

  3. You approve and sign

    Nothing goes to the seller until you have reviewed and signed it.

New construction

Touring a builder's model home? Name your broker first.

Many builders only recognize a buyer's broker who is named on your first visit. If you don't put down our name, we won't get commission and you won't receive credit.

  1. Before you go

    Send us the communities you like and we will register you with each builder in advance. This is the safest way.

  2. On your first visit

    Write Olaie on the builder's sign-in sheet as your broker before you talk with the sales team.

Credit at closing

A credit at closing.

A credit at closing, where allowed, depends on your signed buyer agreement, the compensation arrangement and lender limits. Compensation is negotiable.

Cash purchase

Credited at closing

Applied to your purchase at closing.

Financed purchase

Toward closing costs or points

Applied to your closing costs or to buy down your rate, as your lender allows.

With seller approval

Toward the purchase price

We can request it as an addendum to your offer.

Credits depend on your plan, the compensation paid to us from seller, and your lender's rules, and are shown on your closing documents. Compensation is not set by law and is negotiable.
