" Buying a house is never an easy task, much more so when you are a foreign national (especially in the US) Buying a house in California is an even more daunting task, as we were to find out. Bad enough this is a crazy sellers market, where any concession will be made to have a roof over your head, when you add the reams of extra paperwork specific to this state, you have a bona fide nightmare. Our agent, Eric Ramer, was more than thorough, going over every piece of paper, answering every question, getting confirmation of every step of the process from all parties. We were delighted with his negotiations with the selling agent, & feel he helped get our offer accepted without the dreaded bidding war. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him & his agency, Empire Realty".
