For Buyers

Buying a Home in Thousand Oaks

At $7,250, Roman's flat fee covers full buyer representation -- property tours, offer strategy, negotiation, inspection coordination, and transaction management through closing. The fee is stated as the maximum compensation in your BRBC before the first showing. If the seller offers a buyer's agent commission at or above $7,250, the excess comes back to you as a closing cost credit on the settlement statement.

Yes -- this is a specialty. Roman represents sellers remotely using video walkthroughs, a local showing-agent network, and a transaction coordinator managing compliance through closing.
