Towns

Before you choose a town

One brief. Eleven markets that price differently.

What you get

  • A one-page relocation brief

    Your timing, working range, commute, and trade-offs, written down before the first flight.

  • A town-by-town comparison

    All eleven towns scored against the same brief, with what your range buys in each.

  • A listing shortlist

    Two or three current listings per shortlisted town, with video review before you travel.

  • A remote-ready sequence

    Tours, disclosures, offer, and escrow run remotely, with Robert on each step himself.

What you don't need yet

  • A chosen town
  • A California address
  • A confirmed moving date
  • A signed agreement

The eleven towns

Every market in the brief, from Atherton to Cupertino.

Robert works all eleven. The brief compares them against your timing and range, not against a listing.

A note from Robert

Most families relocating here are told to pick a town first. The brief compares them for you.

Eleven towns price differently and trade commute, schools, and setting in their own ways. A written brief holds them against the same range and timing, so the comparison is done before the first flight.

The relocation brief

Prepare the decision before the flight.

  1. Share the move

    Set the timing, working range, property needs, and trade-offs that will define the search.

  2. Compare real options

    Use current inventory and street-level context to compare towns against the same written brief.

  3. Run the purchase

    Move from remote review to tours, disclosures, offer preparation, and escrow with one decision framework.

Before you start

The questions that come up first.

We have not chosen a town yet. Is that too early?

No. The brief is designed to compare towns before a persuasive listing narrows the decision too quickly.

Can the search begin before we move to California?

Yes. Current inventory, video review, disclosures, and a focused visit plan can all begin before the move.

What if our timing is six to twelve months away?

Still useful. An early brief sets the working range and trade-offs, so the right property is recognized the week it appears.

How should we compare schools?

Robert uses Niche as the independent starting point for school research. Confirm current school assignments and boundaries with the relevant district before making a property decision.

What happens after we send the brief?

Robert reviews your request personally. He or his team usually replies within one business day by text, phone, or email to arrange the next conversation.

Before the next property appears

Know what the move needs before the next property appears.

Share the timing and property context you already know. Two short steps are enough to begin.
