Your Home is Out There, Let's Find It Together.
Whether you're buying your first home or your fifth, the process can feel overwhelming — but it doesn't have to. Kari Cross and The Cross Group have been guiding Bay Area buyers since 1998, and we're here to make sure every step feels clear, confident, and exciting.
You Deserve More Than a Door Opener!
We do a lot more than show you homes.
From your very first conversation to the moment you get your keys, our team is working behind the scenes — negotiating on your behalf, coordinating with lenders and inspectors, keeping timelines on track, and making sure your interests are always protected.
And in most cases? Our buyer services cost you nothing out of pocket. The seller typically covers our fee.
Here's what you get when you work with The Cross Group:
Access to MLS listings updated every 15 minutes
Instant alerts when new homes hit the market
A dedicated team — not just one agent juggling everything
Guidance on off-market homes, new construction, short sales, and more
Expert negotiation at every stage — not just the offer
A Clear Path from Search to Close
Buying a home has a lot of moving parts. We keep everything organized so nothing falls through the cracks.
-
Before we start touring homes, we'll help you establish a realistic budget and connect you with trusted lenders. Knowing your numbers upfront puts you in a much stronger position when it's time to make an offer.
-
We'll set up a custom search based on your must-haves, nice-to-haves, and lifestyle — and we'll also look beyond the MLS for private sales and coming-soon listings. You'll never miss an opportunity.
-
Our team puts together offers that stand out — not just on price, but on presentation. We'll help you understand the market, craft smart terms, and negotiate with confidence.
-
From inspections to appraisals to final paperwork, we'll walk you through every step, every signature, and every deadline so you can close on time and without surprises.
