Looking to tour some awesome homes this weekend? Check out these homes that just hit the market.

Buying a home has long been touted as one of the best investments you can make. After all, it’s the American Dream. But, do you really understand the benefits of buying vs. renting? 

From having more privacy (yes, this is a thing) to realizing financial benefits, there are some really strong cases for buying your own home. 

The Reali Cash Offer program enables qualified buyers to make an all-cash offer with as little as zero percent down, which it says will help buyers especially in tight markets where competition is high, often due to investors participation.

The down payment isn’t the only thing homebuying hopefuls should save for – closing costs typically range from 3-6 percent of the home’s value. Amit Haller, founder and CEO of Reali, explains how his company is able to save new homebuyers thousands of dollars.

The idea of buying and selling your home at the same time may seem scary and overwhelming but it doesn’t have to be. With a strategic plan in place and the right team behind you, you can do it!

Looking for a home in California? Stop by our open houses and meet the Reali team this weekend!
