You need to ensure that your new home will not be a noose around your neck leading to financial ruin, but rather an asset that will appreciate in value to provide you with financial security in the years to come. With Colm Glass you can rest assured that the latter will be your reality.

• Attorney: As an attorney Colm can represent you as no other realtor in terms of his negotiating skills that have been refined and sharpened by years of professional practice first as a corporate attorney in commercial aircraft finance. He has closed $4.5 billion in transactions closed for companies such as Airbus; GE; US Airways. Later as a rising star at Pacific Union – the Bay Area brokerage that represented clients such as Andre Agassi; certain Google founders and sold the most expensive house ever sold in San Francisco – Colm set his legal acumen to good use in ensuring that his clients purchases were properly negotiated.
  
  
• Real Estate Broker: Qualified as a broker rather than a sales agent, I have gone the extra mile to gain the most training and knowledge in my field. That additional effort has been endorsed by my professional qualification as a broker by California’s Department of Real Estate. While I believe there are many great sales agents, they nevertheless require supervision by a broker when the going gets intricate or difficult.
  
  
• Integrity: A recurring theme in my client References is the trust my clients have placed in me. This is because I treat each client’s purchase as carefully as if it were my own. Indeed even after the purchase, I continue to follow up with monthly updates of the surrounding sales – after all, I want you to sleep soundly knowing you got the best home for the best price.
  
  
• Sound Judgment: You may know people who bought in the area in the past few years who, guided by their agents paid too much for problem houses and even more reprehensibly many agents allowed or indeed suggested their clients bought with adjustable rate mortgages (“ARM”). Not one of my clients ever bought with an ARM – they all went with 30 year fixed mortgages on my recommendation. In fact in 2006, I put out a postcard to prospective clients tackling the warning signs of a property bubble.
  
  
• Local Knowledge: San Francisco has certain well-defined areas that have held their value even with the downturn. You need to know where they are and what makes them so stable. I make it my business to know the neighborhoods where my clients write offers and to guide them accordingly.
  
  
• Understands Pricing: The amount of your offer needs to be carefully calculated. Many factors affect a property's value and I will evaluate each with you in turn when the time comes.

Your agent needs to be have more than a snappy suit and a leased luxury German car. You wouldn’t buy your home on the basis of a drive by - nor should you select your agent without a thorough understanding of his education, professional skills and abilities, volume of business, local knowledge and client references. I hope that the above information gives you a good idea of the quality of my credentials and representation. I would love to hear from you if I haven’t managed to answer your questions or indeed if you are ready to get started with that journey to find the perfect home. You will find me to be relaxed, supportive, diligent and above all that I truly care about you finding the right home for you on your own timetable – not on the agents timetable as you find so often.
