Meet my AI — a “digital twin” designed to give you fast, practical guidance on Silicon Valley and Bay Area real estate, especially if you’re a long-time homeowner thinking about your next chapter. You can think of it as a smart, always-available starting point: a place to ask the questions you’d normally Google at 11pm… and actually get a clear answer. It can help you understand how the selling process works today (it’s changed a lot), what steps typically create the best outcome, and how to avoid the most common mistakes that cost sellers time, money, and peace of mind.

Here’s what it can do for you. You can ask it for a realistic overview of pricing strategy, timelines, and what buyers are paying attention to in different Bay Area micro-markets. It can walk you through cost-effective home prep—what’s worth doing, what’s usually a waste, and how a room-by-room punch list works. It can explain selling “as-is,” disclosures, inspections, and the negotiation phases where sellers either keep leverage or accidentally give it away. It can also help you think through the human side of a move: downsizing, relocating closer to family, simplifying maintenance, and reducing the stress that can come with managing a home that no longer fits your life.

It’s also useful if you’re helping a parent sell. You can use it to outline options, clarify terminology, create checklists, draft family communication, and organize questions to bring to your CPA, attorney, or financial advisor. What it can’t do is replace those professionals, give individualized tax or legal advice, or evaluate your specific property in person. Think of it as your “first pass” clarity tool—then, when you’re ready, we can sit down together and tailor a plan to your home, your timeline, and your family’s needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Seb’s AI “digital twin”?
Seb’s AI is a smart assistant trained to answer common questions about Silicon Valley and Bay Area real estate in a clear, practical way. Think of it as an always-available starting point for homeowners and families who want quick clarity on selling, downsizing, pricing strategy, and what the process looks like today.
What can the AI help me with?
It can help you understand the selling process, typical timelines, how pricing strategy works, what “as-is” really means, how to think about home prep (without over-improving), and how negotiations and contingencies usually play out. It can also create checklists, draft questions for your CPA/attorney, and help you organize a plan if you’re helping a parent sell.
Can the AI tell me what my home is worth?
It can explain how value is typically determined and what factors usually move price in your area, but it cannot give a reliable property-specific valuation without the right details (and it can’t physically see the home). For an accurate pricing range, the best next step is a quick call and a walkthrough or a detailed review of your home and recent comps.
Can I use the AI if I’m helping my parents sell their home?
Yes—this is one of the best use cases. The AI can help you understand the sequence of the sale, create a family plan, outline options, write messages to siblings, build a questions list for professionals, and reduce the “unknowns” that tend to create stress and conflict.
Does the AI replace a real conversation with Seb?
No. The AI is designed to provide fast clarity and help you get organized. But selling a long-held Bay Area home often involves taxes, timing, logistics, and family dynamics that need a real, personalized plan. The AI helps you get smarter faster—then Seb helps you execute with the right strategy for your specific situation.
Can the AI give tax or legal advice?
No. It can explain common concepts in plain English (like capital gains basics, stepped-up basis, trusts, or Prop 19 at a high level), but it is not a substitute for a CPA, attorney, or financial advisor. If taxes or estate planning are part of your decision, you should confirm specifics with the right professional.
How accurate is the AI?
It’s designed to be helpful and practical, but it can still be wrong or incomplete—especially when details matter. Use it to get oriented and to generate good questions, then verify anything important (pricing, legal, tax, or contract-related) with Seb and your trusted professionals.
Is what I type into the AI private?
Treat any online tool as a place to be thoughtful about what you share. Avoid posting sensitive personal data like Social Security numbers, account numbers, or private legal documents. If you need to discuss something sensitive, it’s better to do it directly with Seb by phone or in a private meeting.
What areas does the AI cover?
It’s built primarily for Silicon Valley and the greater Bay Area, including pricing and strategy questions that long-time homeowners commonly have in Santa Clara County and nearby counties. It can also help with general real estate and downsizing questions that apply anywhere.
How do I get started and what should I ask first?
Start with your situation and your goal. For example: “I’ve owned my home for 30 years—what should I do first if I’m thinking about selling?” or “What prep is actually worth it in my price range?” or “How does selling as-is work in the Bay Area?” The clearer your timeline and priorities, the better the answers will be.
When should I stop using the AI and talk to Seb directly?
If you’re within 3–6 months of selling, dealing with an estate or trust, navigating major repairs, coordinating family decisions, or you want a real pricing and net-proceeds plan—reach out. That’s when a tailored strategy can save you real money and prevent costly missteps.
