Real Estate: Buying

ADVENT: SERVICE beyond Expectations, Everyday, Every transaction.


Our team of Broker-Agents listens carefully to your goals, objectives, and budget. We have an extensive network of bankers, mortgage brokers, and hard money lenders to make your dreams a reality.


We will walk you through the process step-by-step and guide you through the process of getting pre-qualified for a loan. We will then determine what type of property and location you want and need. We will perform an extensive search for currently available properties. If none are available that meet your requirements, we will connect you with a collaboration center that will automatically inform you when a property that meets your criteria becomes available. When we find suitable properties, we assist you in touring them at an open house, private showing, or virtually. Once we have found the right property, we will walk you through the purchase offer and escrow process.


As home and investment property owners ourselves and representing many buyers over the years on successful transactions, we are proactive in making the process seamless. We study the real estate market and do extensive research daily. We make sure you obtain a property at the most competitive and best price possible.


We are a full-service Real Estate Brokerage to provide you with “service beyond expectations.” Contact our lead Realtor and Broker-Associate, Darryl Glass, and learn more about our process.

What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

Darryl was a professional all the way through the transaction. He explained the options and guided us through the process we chose.

Terry
Bijan O.

Working with Tyler has been an overall exceptional experience! He took the time out on the weekend to show us the property while expediting the leasing process and being knowledgeable about the surrounding area and amenities. Tyler was helpful and present throughout the entire experience.

Joey T.

his review is for Austin. Although I'm not a tenant (for personal reasons, it didn't work out upon my approval), Austin was professional, on time, and easy to talk reach. The renting process can be stressful for most, but Austin was great, and made the application process easy to understand, and was super helpful! Thanks, Austin!

Darryl helped my husband and I sell our condo in Oakland. He was wonderful to work with. He made himself readily available throughout the process and also coordinated the repairs and staging for the unit, which was a massive help. I would highly recommend him as a realtor.

Tyler Powell is a rockstar! He was incredibly helpful, and responsive, as my roommate and I planned out a cross-country move and had to look at apartments remotely/with the help of a friend in the Bay. Tyler helped us find and secure our dream loft apartment and advocated for us during the application process. Incredibly kind and knowledgeable throughout the process :) thank you!
