Why Choose Us
Best of both worlds:
extraordinary marketing and
complimentary legal services
Legal Support: Karlton Stone is the ONLY firm of its caliber in the area to offer clients legal support* in the event of a problem with a transaction in escrow. We hope clients won’t need it, but it’s a nice insurance policy if they do. This bonus could be worth several thousands of dollars if you had to hire a real estate attorney on your own. We work with attorneys at The Kermani Law Firm, to offer this additional benefit to our clients, on a complimentary basis*.
Real Estate Attorney Consultations: All transactions are personally handled by Samira Kermani, Esq., not by a “transaction coordinator” that most companies use. Some transaction coordinators are not even licensed realtors. Our clients have the ability to consult with a seasoned real estate attorney and litigator during their escrow transaction.
Concierge Customer Service: We offer "Concierge" service. We are the “Nordstrom” of the real estate purchase and sale industry and go the extra mile for every client. Because we specialize in and focus only on purchase and sale (not mortgages, escrow or title) we can provide our clients with superior service compared to our competitors.
For Buyers:
Our Concierge Service includes your very own Private Client Portal with access to all residential MLS listings, that WE as Brokers have access to! So, you can search properties and Open Houses to your heart's delight. There is complete transparency here. Unlike some agents who show you only a few properties and expect you to buy one, we encourage you to take as long as you need and offer you full state-wide MLS access with your own password.
Samira Kermani, Esq., will explain the purchase contract, inspections, contingencies, and the escrow process.
Samira Kermani will personally attend --not her assistant-- your physical inspection and your final inspection along with you. You are not doing this alone. Samira is there every step of the way until escrow closes.
BEFORE we ever write your purchase offer, we provide you with written "Comps" (comparable closed sales) going back SIX MONTHS, so that you have a clear picture of the value of the property you intend to purchase.
For Sellers:

Full Page ad in the MLS Magazine for residential properties*.
