Couldn't have done it without them
Their data driven approach, focus on detail and amazing attitude towards providing the best possible service really made buying a house as smooth as possible. Oh, and the 2% cash back is a game changer!
Paul B., San Francisco
We had a great experience!
My husband and I were were looking for an alternative to the traditional home buying process and we found that with Unlocked. They helped us with every step of the process, and we closed on our house in only three weeks and walked away with a 2% rebate!
Stephanie L., Napa
A MAJOR thing was the way they treated me.
As a single young woman, previous realtors have been condescending to me, however this was not my experience with Unlocked. They were very professional, but down to earth, and very easy to talk to. Thank you for taking the stress out of the home buying process!
Alina B., Los Altos
We had a fantastic experience working with Unlocked.
We were very happy to find Unlocked which provides 2% cash back. To our surprise, the service was also - by far - the best we have experienced working with real estate professionals.
Amia L., San Francisco
They were swift in putting in our offer within 12 hours of being informed.
They are very very prompt on emails, answering questions within the hour and getting on a call when needed. They are upfront about everything.
Vivek T., Mountain View
We would use them again in heartbeat.
Their valuation analysis was thoughtful and detailed, and they gave us good insights on the disclosures. They were responsive throughout the process and did a great job of making us feel as if we were their only client.
Andy A., San Francisco
Extremely impressed with the service.
Their competitive analysis was especially helpful and they were always very responsive. The 2% cash back was a huge deal for us and we're so happy the quality was even better than most agents we've interacted with on top of it!
Sara T., Burlingame
It always felt like Unlocked was on our team, never pressuring us.
The biggest highlight was how incredibly responsive he was. Since we're first time buyers, we had a ton of questions about the process, and he was always great about replying quickly to our many, many emails, even on the weekends.
Ritu V., Alamo
I'm a big fan of Unlocked. You just couldn't find a better agent.
We had worked with other real estate agents in the past, but Unlocked's analysis blew away all the competition. Because of their research, we felt very confident putting in bids.
Stu S., San Francisco
Thanks to Unlocked, we closed on our dream home.
We are so happy that we found Unlocked. They are very detail-oriented and data driven to help us make well informed decisions to place offers. The whole process was seamless and smooth.
Thea Z., Pacheco
Choosing Unlocked was one of the best decisions we made.
I was impressed from beginning to end, from the custom Unlocked reports that gave us confidence in making the right offer price, to the post-sale support. Their knowledge, communication, negotiation skills, and professionalism are simply top notch.

Got Questions about Unlocked?
We Got Answers.
What services do you provide Bay Area home buyers?+−
Unlocked is a fully-licensed California brokerage that provides all of the services of a traditional real estate agent, with better data-driven tools, increased transparency and more responsive customer service.
We can help with as little or as much of the home-buying process as you require. Some clients come to us with a home already found and a price in mind, and require Unlocked's expertise with evaluating the home and executing the transaction. Others are still figuring out their budget, what they're looking for, and advice on where to focus their search.
Either way, Unlocked is here to seamlessly guide you through your home buying process - finding the right home, valuing it, understanding the disclosures, submitting a competitive offer, and closing the transaction. We're with you from start to finish.
2% cash back rebate sounds too good to be true. What’s the catch?+−
There is no catch! At Unlocked, we've created a better way to buy a Bay Area home based on our own home buying experiences. The internet has enabled home buyers to lead more of their own home buying journey, yet buying agents still make 2.5% of the purchase price.
Given escalating Bay Area real estate prices, that didn’t feel right to us, so we rebate 2% of the purchase price back to the buyer.
With Unlocked, we still offer all of the services of a traditional real estate agent, and leverage technology to deliver a customer-centric, data-driven and transparent home buying experience. It is the home buying experience we wanted when we bought our Bay Area homes.
Are you fully licensed?+−
Yes. Unlocked is a fully-licensed California brokerage (CalDRE #02060530) and all of our agents are fully-licensed California sales agents and members of the San Francisco Association of Realtors (TM), California Association of Realtors (TM) and the National Association of Realtors (TM).
Sounds great! How do I start?+−
Simply Contact Us! We can answer any questions you may have, and ensure you kick-off your home buying process on the right foot. If needed, we can introduce you to the Bay Area’s best mortgage agents at the major banks, and discuss with you valuation trends for the neighborhoods or cities you’re focused on.
