Aaron blew all the other agents I've worked with out of the water with his home knowledge and his attention to detail.
It has been a very pleasant experience and I’d highly recommend him.

Frequently Asked Qs
Wait...is this for real?
We get this a lot. Yes, Buy First is absolutely real. At Better, we’re constantly looking for new ways to help level the playing field for hard-working homebuyers and homeowners.
Who is Buy First for?
Buy First is designed for ALL homeowners who want to buy a new home and sell their old one. It especially makes sense if you:
- Feel like you have to sell before you buy in order to have the money for a down payment.
- Want to avoid the headache and stress of selling your home first, like moving twice and showing your home while you live in it.
- Want to sell for more. Staging your home once you’ve moved out can increase sales price by 20%, on average.⁴
- Need to move quickly. Buy your new home, then sell your old one after.
- Think listing your home for 3% is outrageous. We do too, so we made it 0%.
