Some buyers know exactly what they want, while others benefit from a consultation to clarify their needs and priorities.
Considerations like:
- Which areas should I search?
- What home features are essential?
- Is a good school district important to me?
We are here to guide and assist as much as you like, every step of the way.
Your trust is our North Star and we are committed to protecting your interests. Sometimes that means canceling escrow and moving on.
We pride ourselves on relationship building and fundamental to that is positive, clear communication. Whether it is with our fellow agents, inspectors, escrow or title officers, we foster relationships with colleagues to further your goals. In short, we strive to form authentic connections that support professionalism and successful encounters at every turn.
Every home listed for sale by a Realtor is on a Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
We enable you to:
- Search and view properties online.
- Narrow your search by using our map feature and specific criteria.
- Receive automated email notifications for new home listings.
- Save property listings and rank them 1 to 5 stars.
- Write and save notes about properties.
Real estate sites like Zillow sometimes have inaccurate or delayed information. Our search feature lets you to do your own searches with the same real-time data that Realtors use.
Whenever a new listing that matches your criteria is added to the MLS, you will receive an email with photos, a description and other information.
If there is an alteration to a listing, such as a price reduction or a change to its status (active, pending, sold, back on market, etc.), you will also be updated via email.
Many Realtors hold an open house shortly after listing a home for sale.
Open house information can be accessed on our search page, under the “more” option at the top/right.
We ask all of our clients to attend open houses whenever possible. It is the easiest way to visit a home and gain insight about interest from other potential buyers.
PROTECT YOUR REBATE: Most buyers are unaware of a potentially sticky situation called “procuring cause.” Learn about it here.
Attending an open house is the easiest way to see a property, but sometimes it is not an option.
1% Rebate Option – We will arrange for you to visit a property.
1.5% Rebate Option – We will provide you with a personalized link to a showing service, where a field agent can be hired to show you the property, as well as provide access for follow-up visits and inspections. This service charges a minimum fee of $39, which will be charged to your credit card.
When making an offer for a property, it is helpful to be familiar with recent sales of comparable properties. Sold listings are more useful than active or pending listings because market value is determined when a buyer and seller complete a transaction.
Upon request, we can prepare a comparative market analysis (CMA) to provide insight regarding a home’s current value.
1% Rebate Option – We will prepare your offer and discuss your protections and responsibilities under the contract. We will answer all of your questions, even those you don’t ask, and will strive to give you a sense of comfort and predictability with what is to be expected throughout escrow.
Aside from price, a seller’s primary concern is whether a buyer can perform and minor details often make the difference as to whether or not an offer is accepted. For this reason, it is important that your offer package be carefully prepared and contain:
- Verification of funds for downpayment
- Loan pre-approval letter (if financing purchase)
- Personal letter + photo to enable seller to relate to you (optional)
1.5% Rebate Option – Clients who select this option will go directly to our offer form to enter their criteria. Once submitted, we will.
- Prepare a California Association of Realtor’s offer package.
- Email it for you to review.
- Respond to any questions or changes you have.
- Send a finalized version for you to Docusign.
- Submit your offer to the seller’s broker.
PRIOR TO ACCEPTANCE:
There are many considerations for a buyer prior to submitting an offer:
- What is known about the current interest in the home by other potential buyers?
- What is important to include in your offer and what should you omit?
- What do you need to feel protected during the process?
We can consult with you about these and other considerations in order to afford you the best chance of success.
DURING ESCROW:
Among the areas that may justify negotiation during escrow is the home inspection, which may reveal issues for which you seek repairs, credits or a price reduction. We work with you to formulate and support a request to meet your needs and then get the seller to accept.
1% Rebate Option Clients – The clock is now ticking and you will have a small team of people working for you. This may include your lender, escrow officer, physical inspector (and other inspectors, service providers), your title insurance officer and others.
We are the captain of your team and will help you manage the paperwork, hire & coordinate inspections, understand disclosures and generally work to protect your interests throughout the process.
These three resources will be particularly helpful as you enter your “due diligence” period:
1.5% Rebate Option Clients – As an experienced developer or homebuyer, you are in a position to hire the service providers you consider necessary. We will manage the disclosures and paperwork flow, but you are the captain of the team and we will take direction from you regarding inspections, additional negotiations, etc.
Depending on which service option you select, our commission will be 1 – 1.5% of the purchase agreement price or the minimum commission, whichever is greater.

Stephen BlattFebruary 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond to get your dream home, look no further than Anita Sever. She is a force of nature in the real estate world—persistent, thorough, and deeply committed to her clients. • Unmatched Persistence Anita helped me purchase a condo at a price that was nearly unheard of. This wasn’t just good fortune—it was her ability to communicate with sellers in a way that earns their trust and keeps opportunities open. The home I purchased had a complex backstory, as it was part of an estate sale following the passing of its longtime owner. The situation made the timeline unpredictable, and the property had been on the market before it was fully available for purchase. In most cases, a home like this would attract multiple offers and bidding wars, but Anita stayed on top of every detail and ensured I was in the right place at the right time. • Thorough & Detail-Oriented Anita leaves no stone unturned. Real estate transactions are full of surprises, and when an open permit issue surfaced near the close of escrow, she knew exactly how to handle it. Even in rare situations where something isn't straightforward, she finds the right experts, gets them on the phone fast, and ensures that nothing is left to chance. Her assistant, Marilee, is an incredible extension of this expertise, ensuring that every detail is carefully addressed. • Genuinely Cares About Her Clients Buying a home is an emotional journey, and Anita understands that better than anyone. There were times I felt overwhelmed—my wife had just given birth, we were navigating the early days of parenthood, and the weight of making such a big decision felt like too much. But Anita didn’t just guide me through the process—she truly supported me, offering reassurance, perspective, and even moments of much-needed encouragement. She doesn’t just focus on closing deals; she genuinely cares about the well-being of her clients. • A True Professional with Multiple Years of Experience Anita’s depth of knowledge in real estate is unmatched. Whether it’s negotiations, resolving last-minute challenges, or handling sensitive transactions with care and professionalism, she brings an incredible level of expertise, integrity, and commitment to her work. If you’re looking for a persistent advocate, a meticulous expert, and a realtor who treats you like more than just another client, Anita Sever is the person you want in your corner. Matthew AotoJanuary 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I dont often share reviews but Anita and her team was that good. She was always available. She coached us through the entire buying process. She didn't pressure us into at all. Most importantly she helped us with developing a strategy as a buyer and helped us weigh our cost and benefits of decisions later on in the buying process. So happy and thankful we found Anita as our realtor! Daniel CotroneoJanuary 13, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 12 years ago I purchased my very first condo with this team. Last month, we closed on a 4-plex. I've had the pleasure to work with Anita and Hugh on four real estate purchases and I absolutely cannot recommend them enough! Their team is second-to-none. From responsiveness to strategy to negotiation chops, they have been integral in helping me navigate several extremely complex and competitive buys with innovative strategies and professionalism. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone at any stage of their real estate journey to reach out to the team! Jeff KnightDecember 17, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pleasure to work with. Friendly, professional, communicative, knowledgeable, and stays fully involved through the entire process. Trish JonesDecember 10, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Anita during my recent home selling journey, and I can honestly say that the experience was nothing short of fantastic. From start to finish, Anita and her team went above and beyond to ensure the process was seamless and efficient. What stood out the most was Anita's deep knowledge of the market. She and her team took the time to listen carefully to my needs and preferences, offering personalized advice that aligned perfectly with my goals. Their expertise in the local area, market trends, and negotiation tactics made me feel confident and well-informed every step of the way. Communication was also a highlight. Anita was always quick to respond, whether it was a simple question or a more complex concern. I never felt in the dark about any part of the process, and I always felt supported. Her responsiveness and transparency truly set her apart from other agents I've worked with in the past. Perhaps most importantly, Anita made me feel like a priority, not just another transaction. She was patient, understanding, and genuinely invested in making the prosses as smooth as possible. It’s clear she is not only passionate about real estate, but also about providing an exceptional client experience. I am beyond grateful for her hard work and dedication, and I would recommend Anita to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate agent. If you're in the market, don’t hesitate to reach out to her—you’ll be in the best hands possible! A huge thank you to Anita and her team for making this process a positive, efficiant, and ultimately successful one! Kath RogersOctober 30, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Anita Sever (of 1% Broker) is the absolute BEST. I am so grateful we found her. She walked my husband and me through every step of our home sale, made the process as convenient as possible, and helped us to successfully troubleshoot several complications related to our home. We felt comfortable at each stage because Anita knew EVERYHING about the home-selling process -- and she cared just as much (or more!) as we did about the outcome. We will recommend her to everyone we know! Sue Jean ParkOctober 9, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have dubbed Anita our "fairy godmother" as she has helped us navigate a tricky purchase of our forever home. Her expertise in the field as well as her vast experience is not even her best quality... the rebate is amazing but that is not even the best part... she is a human ChatGPT. I can't even begin to express how grateful we are that we found Anita, Hugh, Marilee and the team at Savanna Realtors. Buying a home can be super stressful because you don't know what you don't know... but Anita knows. Or she will find out for you. The plethora of avenues on our adventure of buying this home has been plentiful and nerve-wracking... but Anita got us through to the end... and even after the ink had dried, she made sure we were not left hanging. Josh ChoiAugust 17, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. While researching for listing/seller’s agents to put my condo up for sale, I came across this team and saw that they had excellent customer reviews. I wasn’t particularly filtering for low listing commissions, but seeing that they offered such low rates, that gave me an additional push for me to give them a shot. And I’m 100% glad I did. Anita was an excellent agent, and thanks to her I sold my condo in record time at a great price. (There are two other units in my building that listed for sale even before me and they still haven’t sold.) One open house was all we needed. I wholly recommend this team! Dean PurvisJune 14, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hugh and One Percent Broker were invaluable in helping us sell my Mother-In-Law's house (and then buy our new one - more on that later). With a smile and great, GREAT patience (first-time home-sellers here), he helped us every step of the way, walking us through the process, holding our hands when necessary (which was a LOT), keeping things moving, making sure all our bases were covered (there are a LOT of bases in home selling/buying), helping us find the right people, and gifting us with his years of experience and knowledge. We ended up selling her house for more than we thought it was worth (and then over asking as well) solely because of his experience with the market and skill as a negotiator. He was so great that we used him again when we purchased our new home. Again, he walked with us, kept us calm and level-headed, helped us find the right inspectors (SO worth the time and expense), and nailed the negotiations, getting us the house we wanted for under asking, and credits on top - even though that hurt his bottom line. He never once complained about our incessant questions, nerves or neuroses - just gave us everything he had. Simply brilliant - I cannot recommend him highly enough.Load more
