The site publishes the licence line "EQ1 Real Estate | CA DRE# 01931861" and the phone number (408) 912-7670. The services set out on the website are buying, selling and renting (the contact form's "Interested in..." menu lists Selling and Buying, Selling, Buying, Renting and Other), a property home search, a home valuation request, neighborhood pages and testimonials. The site says of itself: "We have redefined traditional real estate by utilizing innovative marketing strategies and staying at the forefront of technological advancements in everything related to buying and selling properties in the Bay Area and all over the world." A home valuation tool is published under "Get Your Instant Home Valuation", where a person enters an address and contact details; the page also offers to "Schedule a free consultation with top local agents who can help you estimate and understand your home's value." The website also runs a property search and shows featured properties with statuses such as For Sale, Pending and Active Under Contract. Listing status and availability change constantly, so any specific property must be confirmed with EQ1 directly before relying on it. The site does not publish service prices, cost figures, rates, fees or commission arrangements of any kind, and it does not publish opening hours; to get a quote or an estimate a person contacts the office by phone or through a form.

A second address, called The Property Bar, is located at 236 N Santa Cruz Ave Ste 102, Los Gatos CA 95030. The published phone number for contact is (408) 912-7670. An email address is shown on the site but is obfuscated in the page source, so it is not reproduced here. The contact page carries a "Submit a Message" form and says: "Please fill out your details below. One of our team members will connect with you as soon as possible." Opening hours are not published anywhere on the website, so office hours, weekend availability and appointment windows have to be confirmed by phone. To book or schedule an appointment a person uses the contact form or the phone number; the home valuation page also invites people to "Schedule a Consultation". On areas served, the About page says EQ1 "specializes in helping families, individuals, and investors buy and sell real estate in Silicon Valley, Sacramento, and across the country", while the home page version of the same sentence adds Orange County to that list. A footer line describes "a presence in Silicon Valley, Sacramento, and beyond". The neighborhoods section publishes pages for San Jose, Evergreen, Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, Cambrian, Campbell, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Milpitas, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Morgan Hill, Gilroy, the East Bay and Sacramento. Lists Bay Village, Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Milpitas, and Morgan Hill as a location. Names California, Chile, United States, Campbell, Cupertino, Dana Point, Gilroy, and Los Altos as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

The steps published are: Step 1 Preparation, Step 2 Creative Design, Step 3 Marketing, Step 4 Pricing, Step 5 Events, Step 6 Networking, Step 7 Offer Review, Step 8 Escrow and Step 9 Closing. The page names the person presenting each video: Mike Bui for Preparation, Pricing and Closing; Nick Meyer for Creative Design and Marketing; Dennis Delisle for Events; Jen Beehler for Networking and Escrow; and Tamika Ellsworth for Offer Review. The page title is "California Home Seller's Guide". Beyond these step names and presenters, the page does not publish written detail about what happens at each stage, and it does not publish any prices, costs, rates, fees, commission figures or timelines for a sale. It also does not state how long any step takes. Sellers who want an estimate of what their home is worth are pointed to the separate home valuation request, which asks for an address and contact details and offers a free consultation with an agent. Anyone who needs a quote for the cost of selling, or a schedule for listing and closing, has to contact EQ1 directly at (408) 912-7670 or through the site's contact form, because the website does not publish that information.

The steps are: Step 1 Defining Home Type, presented by Rondo Membrere; Step 2 Buyer DNA, presented by Nick Meyer; Step 3 Escrow, presented by Martin Garcia; and Step 4 Closing, presented by Vinh Vu. The page title is "California Home Buyer's Guide". The page gives the step names and presenters only; it does not publish written explanations of each stage, and it publishes no prices, costs, fees, rates or buyer-side commission arrangements, and no timelines. Alongside the guide, the website runs a home search and a set of neighborhood pages covering places such as San Jose, Evergreen, Willow Glen, Campbell, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Milpitas, Los Altos, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Morgan Hill, Gilroy, the East Bay and Sacramento, plus featured property pages that carry status labels such as For Sale, Pending and Active Under Contract. Listings and their status change daily, so nothing shown on the site should be treated as currently available without confirming it with EQ1. To start a search, book a viewing, schedule an appointment or ask about a particular property, a buyer contacts the office on (408) 912-7670 or submits the contact form.
