In 1993 I bought my first home — tiny savings, a modest income, no internet, no guide, and honestly no reason to believe I could pull it off. But I did it anyway. And I still remember every step: the doubt, the confusion, and the absolute joy of the day I got the keys.
Before I signed, my dad looked at me and said: “Aija, when I bought our home it cost $28,000 and I had to work two jobs to pay the mortgage. It will always feel like a stretch.”
He was right. And it was the best decision I ever made.
Since then I’ve helped nearly 800 people buy homes in Silicon Valley. I specialize in buyers only — because I understand what you’re carrying. The doubt. The questions. The fear of getting it wrong. I’ve been there. And I know how to get you through it.
