About Us
Our Name
Teppen (天辺) is a Japanese word meaning “Top;summit;peak”. I first encountered the word while hosting a 5k race at the top of a mountain range in Western Japan. Being on ‘top’ should provide as sense of accomplishment, perspective, and hopefully a clarity on what comes next.
Our Mission
We understand that no matter the size or type of home, every single time a purchase or sale occurs it is a milestone event, and our goal is to make each time you put your trust with us feel like just that.
Our Vision
We serve as our clients’ champions and consultants, ensuring they feel confident and empowered throughout what can otherwise be a daunting journey. Catering to a diverse range of clients interested in buying, selling, or investing, our goal is to make each transaction a memorable one.
Our Approach
We love the initial consultation because this is where we get to know each other, and afterwards we tailor the process around what you need so you trust we have your best interests at heart and know what to expect.
Education is also important; we want you to understand what is happening and feel empowered & inspired to do it again when the time comes. And if you’d rather us handle all of the details so you can focus on more important things, we’re happy to do that too.
Our Values
People and relationships are at central to what we’re about. We may not get to see you at every holiday after you’ve closed, but you can expect a call, email and occasional invite out for food & drinks to connect with us and some other good people.
Inspire
We’re dream supporters here, not dream killers. For many, the idea of owning a home seems impossible, while others feel the same about purchasing an investment property. We’re passionate about creating a plan to get you where you want to go.
Integrity
Our Superpower is that we will advise you to not move forward when it doesn’t serve your best interests, so when we give you the green light, you can trust in our expertise.
Build Wealth
We’re in this for the long-haul. The data shows that the net worth of our clientele base has increased by over $14,000,000.00 after working with us.
Fun
Real Estate is serious business, but you should enjoy the process while you’re in it! You’re going to meet some great people along the way and have some amazing stories to share afterwards.
