When You Work With Me

Tania Polanco

I have my house thanks to Lucy Cordero since December 2019.

A great realtor, professional, understanding, and friendly.

Chris Morehart

She was very responsive, professional, and met all our needs when buying and selling. She made a highly stressful process simple for us and answered any questions or concerns we had with a high degree of knowledge. Lucy is highly recommended!!

Lucy was terrific from start to finish.

Cayle Birriel

We started working with Lucy a little over 4 years ago, she helped walk us through the home buying process and because of that we were able to purchase our first home!

Lucy is amazing and knowledgeable, we highly recommend her!

When you work with a buyer’s agent, you have someone fully committed to representing your best interests — not the seller’s. I help you navigate the market, identify the right opportunities, negotiate the strongest terms, and protect your investment every step of the way. Listing agents work for the seller. I work for you.

What's your approach to helping me win in multiple offer situations?

In most cases, no — my commission is typically paid by the seller through the listing brokerage at closing. That means you get full representation, expert negotiation, and guidance at no additional cost to you.
If there’s ever an exception, we’ll discuss it upfront so there are no surprises — clarity is key.

Every offer deserves more than luck — it deserves strategy. I use local market data, strong agent relationships, and smart negotiation tactics to position your offer as the clear choice. From clean contract terms to creative ways of standing out (without overpaying), my job is to help you win with confidence and protect your bottom line.

Winning isn’t about luck — it’s about leverage. I combine deep market insight, strong agent relationships, and a tailored offer strategy that highlights your strengths as a buyer.  From creative terms to expert communication, I position your offer to stand out — not just for price, but for professionalism and certainty.

Absolutely — it’s one of my specialties. I love helping first-time buyers feel confident, informed, and supported from day one.  From explaining every step in plain language to connecting you with trusted lenders and programs, I’ll make sure you understand your options and feel empowered throughout the process.

How is working with a buyer's agent different from working directly with listing agents?

A pre-qualification is a quick estimate of what you might afford based on basic financial information. A pre-approval goes deeper — your lender verifies your income, credit, and assets to confirm exactly how much you can borrow.  

In competitive markets, a pre-approval gives your offer real weight — it shows sellers you’re serious and ready to close.
