Amanda was recommended to us by a friend and we owe that person a huge gift basket for the referral. Amanda was a lifesaver in navigating the home buying process, and is hands down one of the best agents in the market. She takes the time to understand you personally so she can give you the right guidance and help find you options that are right for you. She always offers great advice, but is never too pushy (I've had agents in past who were and it can be very frustrating). This was our first time buying a home, and she was very patient in walking us through the parts of the process we didn't understand or weren't comfortable with. Even after we closed, Amanda has continued to provide us with guidance and is always there for us when we need help. She's not only incredibly knowledgable about the SF market, but also incredibly well connected. The quality of your experience buying a house is very dependent on the team you select for the various aspects of the process and Amanda connected us to the best people to work with. In short -- Amanda's the person you want on your team when buying a home -- I can't recommend her enough! read more

Amanda and her team, the Jones Group SF, are just AMAZING!! I did not know a real estate agent could provide such VIP and personalized services as they did. An extraordinary job, despite - and during - the Pandemia. The sale price met our expectations (YES!!!!) and we closed in 6 days!! WOW!!! We had to face many challenges - of all kinds (trees, chimney, legal, Covid-19 protection, garage, electric issues, etc. etc) in addition to staging, decorating, painting, etc as this is a 100 year old condo! Lots to do! In addition, Amanda helped us coordinate with other condo members complex issues successfully, everybody more than happy! In addition to her hand-holding during the entire process, Amanda helped us secure financing to implement the expected and unexpected investments needed to bring the house to its best and up to date condition! AMAZING experience!! Thank you Amanda and team!! You are Angels! read more

I met Amanda about 2 years ago when my sweetie and I started looking for a home to buy. She was representing a gorgeous home in the sunset district, and although we already had a real estate broker we were working with, and i mentioned that to her - she was incredibly kind to me and spent time answering a bunch of questions. I immediately liked her genuine and straightforward attitude. I grabbed her card because I really liked the renovation on the place she was representing and asked if I could contact her again in case in the future i needed a referral for a general contractor. Well two weeks ago we finally bought a house and it is definitely is a 'fixer upper'. When I called Amanda not only did she remember me, she was kind enough to offer to share some referrals for the subcontractors that she likes best in case they can help us get our place together. In an unfortunate era of cut throat SF real estate dealings - I want to say THANK YOU Amanda - for being such a knowledgeable, kind, generous agent - your integrity and 'pay it forward' approach are golden. I strongly recommend this fantastic lady to anyone buying or selling a home. read more

Amanda is the definition of a straight shooter. She is very open and honest, and will tell you what you need to hear instead of just what you want to hear. You will quickly notice that Amanda's goal is to build a long-term relationship with her clients, and not just to earn a quick commission like many agent do. I am in the real estate business myself, and I like to seek Amanda's advice prior to making a decision on a property. read more

I don't think I can say enough good things about Amanda. She helped me buy a unit in a TIC building in the city. I would have never gotten this place without her, there were a ton of bids on the place and I got the place because of her incredible expertise in the market and because of her ability to really build relationships and sell her clients. She is truly amazing. Amanda is incredibly organized and will make life very easy for you. She really understands how busy people are and makes sure to give you enough information to keep you in the loop but not too much to bog you down. She is also very good at educating you through the entire process (e.g., I didn't know anything about TICs before buying my place). She is completely honest and trustworthy. She will tell you how it is to make sure that you know exactly what the situation is, no B.S. I still call Amanda now for all kinds of advice (like now I am renting out my place) and do not know what I would do without her expertise. She will always be my go-to person for any property advice and I will recommend her to everyone I meet. read more

I am a Realtor in the Oakland/Piedmont area of the east bay and having a specialist in the City like Amanda Jones and her team has been essential. I have referred a number of clients to Amanda and they always call me with positive feedback. She is responsive, knowledgeable and diligent in her practice. On top of that, Amanda is fun to work with/be around. Just the other day I was speaking with Amanda about a property she is listing and going above and beyond, even using some of her own furniture for the staging! Doing whatever it takes to make it happen for our clients is what it is all about in this business. read more

We hired Amanda and her team to sell the remaining units in our TIC building . The previous agents did a reasonable job, but they were running out of gas, so we made a change. Amanda et al did and AWESOME JOB. They brought in some quality marketing, tons of knowledge and lots and lots of energy. Bottom line: All the units are sold with a minimum of muss and fuss. She's a straight shooter with lots of integrity...something that's sadly missing in the industry. A five-star performance if ever there was! read more

I met Amanda when I was planning to sell my home. She was recommended to me by a friend of a friend. I immediately felt comfortable with her - as she seemed both knowledgeable and "real". I trusted her answers to my questions and her open, relaxed (hip?) attitude. I'm glad I did, as it was a wonderful decision! I can tell you that the experience of selling my home with Amanda was incredibly positive. She is a true professional. I saw first-hand her client-oriented nature. There were several times where (in the course of the sales process) she could have taken the "easy way out" but that she instead went the extra mile to ensure that I was getting the best result. In other words, she represented me and my interest very well, turning over every stone and making every effort possible. I don't think most realtors do that - not at all. But she did at every step along the way. One of those "extra mile" events was in ensuring that my house was spotlessly clean, properly staged, and refreshed through doing some updating. Although I thought my house looked great before the sales process, it really looked especially stunning when the property hit the market. Amanda made that happen through a huge amount of effort on her part and through bringing in some excellent resources like a professional stager, painter, etc. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that, as I was dealing with a sick family member and was out of the state during this time. Amanda brought together the right team. But there was much more than just that. Amanda ensured that my house "hit" the market with maximum impact. The initial open houses were a rousing success - lots of interest. Sort of a feeding frenzy even. That led to a very fast pre-emptive offer from an excellent and well-qualified buyer who loved my home as much as I do. I was very pleased with the results. Amanda did an exemplary job before we got on market, during the time she got the house perfectly prepped, and after the sale. i would very, very highly recommend her to any home seller. THANK YOU AMANDA for GOING THE EXTRA MILE AGAIN AND AGAIN - and therefore achieving OUTSTANDING RESULTS! You really are the best! read more

Amanda is truly a professional at what she does. She and her team recently sold my condo in North Beach and I couldn't be happier with their level of service, expertise and professionalism. This was the first property that I have owned and therefore it was the first sale that I went through as a seller; Amanda led me through every step of the process with a level of comfort that exceeded my expectations. I had a lot going on in my life during the sale (including my wedding), so I really appreciated Amanda taking everything over and running with it. I truly trust Amanda, which was so important during this process. I am confident that I was in the best hands with Amanda and would not hesitate for a second with referring her to anyone in the future! read more

As a first time home buyer or seasoned buyer in the San Francisco real estate market, it is competitive, properties move quickly, and the process can get very overwhelming as well as frustrating if you don't have the right agent. Amanda was referred to us by our dear friends and as the first agent we interviewed, we knew right then and there that she was the one for us. She helped guide, navigated us through challenges, provided recommendations, and most importantly, she was the difference that allowed us to put in our first offer to obtain the property of our dreams. She was an agent that represented us well with her network and experience in such a demanding market and I cannot recommend her and Brad (part of her team) more highly. read more

Amanda has been completely amazing to work with, especially with everything going on right now. We were interested in exploring the opportunity to sell given job changes, and from our very first phone call we knew she was the right fit. Whether it be her calm demeanor, sensible approach, keeping our expectations realistic, the pointers to make the home show best - Amanda and her team's experience shines through. We ended up in a multiple offer situation and Amanda walked us through to get the best outcome and an amazing offer. We thoroughly recommend her to anyone out there looking for a personable, direct, and knowledgeable realtor to help you through the selling process in San Francisco. read more

I live in a large TIC in SF and Amanda has brokered several tricky and complex transactions for us over several years. She is the best! And when I say tricky, I mean sensitive and difficult. She handled all with grace, kindness, competency and skill. She understands TICs, and she understands human nature. I could not recommend her more, and we will continue to recommend her to neighbors when it comes time to sell or buy! read more

Amanda really? Trying to contact me after this post and didn't even apologize for not remembering me ...good one

Awe Amanda Jones- I would never ever use any other agent than this woman...She got me an amazing house at a super fair price...dealt with my very difficult and demanding ex husband with patience and was a great, support to me during my split. Amanda Jones is it. Stop looking...use her. And then recommend her to all your friends. I did...Karman P. is my friend and I reffered her and look at her glowing review. read more

As "property virgins," having never bought a home, let alone in SF, we needed a realtor we could trust, someone who would communicate with us quickly, and someone who could educate us about how to buy a home. Amanda did all of these things and then some; you will note the past tense of the earlier sentences, as Amanda not only helped us buy our first home, but helped us get an INCREDIBLE deal on it as well (I guess the economy helped that, too, but I'll give the props to Amanda!). Amanda was recommended to us by several friends, all of whom have gorgeous homes, and I hope we can pass her name along to others as well. read more

Amanda helped me buy my first apartment and she was very knowledgeable and a great resource. She was referred to me by a friend who was also a client- and this is a testament to Amanda's reputation as she gets a large amount of business through referrals and repeats. In terms of the San Francisco market, she really knows her stuff. At our initial meeting, she arrived with a large book with all sorts of useful information about the real estate buying process. The thing that really makes Amanda stand out is her commitment to doing the right thing and adhering to the Realtors Code of Ethics (yes one exists, and she takes it very seriously). As others have mentioned, Amanda views her clients as long-term relationships and is not just out to make a quick commission. read more

Amanda is a top notch professional through and through. My wife and I trusted the Yelp reviews when we contacted her to sell our home and Yelp delivered. She sets reasonable expectations and keeps the project on track during "dynamic" economic times. She has good marketing ideas and a circle of professionals to execute them. It's no fluke that she's a top agent in the city. read more

I just bought my second house through Amanda and am thrilled with her. She did so many things right to make this improbable deal happen I really don't think it would have happened without her. We finally closed after a six-month short-sale ordeal. Amanda is someone who is definitely in your corner and who knows how to play the game. She is my agent for life! read more

Amanda was very thorough with helping us to close on our property in the Hayes Valley area. She was fair, and helped out with an extremely stressful period when we had a delayed closing. She assisted in mitigating the stress we had and worked with the sllers agent who allowed us to move in early, before our condo closed. She is very detailed oriented with paperwork process, and knows the San Francisco market very well. If you are new to buying or are already in the city she is a great person and agent. Also, she is never late, which is key in this industry! read more

Amanda Jones is AMAZING. I would never even consider using anyone else. Period. She was fabulous with us as first-time buyers in the insane market that is SF. She worked so hard for us and was always friendly and calm and at the top of her game. She takes the time you need--whether that's driving around looking at houses until 9 at night or being a bulldog about getting your offer in front of the sellers, she makes you feel like you are her only client. She knows the market like no one else and has so much experience. And oh yeah, I hired and fired 4 agents before finding Amanda. Now you don't have to go through what I did. Buying a house here is stressful enough as it is! read more

I spent 20 minutes on the phone w/ Amanda about a property I am interested in. She said, as a next step, she would text me when we got off the phone. No text. Subsequently followed up w/ a call and left vm. Again no follow up or text. While it is no biggie (there are a ton of good agents out there), I did waste my time w/ her and it is unprofessional behavior on her part. read more

Amanda and her team at Sotheby's helped me sell my condo/studio in San Francisco. They put together a polished package and made sure the condo looked great. It was on the market on 11/21, had offers in the first and 2nd week, and I closed on 12/27. Everything went smoothly and she was able to get over asking price. I am very satisfied and happy with her and her team. They are very responsive to calls and emails. Their goal is to help you in any way they can and make you happy. I would ask Amanda to be my realtor if I were to buy in SF again and would recommend her to any of my friends and acquaintances without hesitation. read more

Amanda has helped us navigate three real estate deals on the buy and sell sides and I recommend her without hesitation. Throughout all the ups and downs of the confusing and competitive SF real estate market, I could trust Amanda to be strategic yet unbiased. After the close of our most recent purchase, Amanda threw in some practical freebies/perks which we really appreciated. We've recommended Amanda to friends and colleagues, who've also had successful outcomes with her, and would do so again without reservation. read more

Amanda is a miracle worker! The San Francisco real estate market is very competitive, so it is imperative to have a well-reputed and highly-competent agent, such as Amanda, on your side. In 2012, Amanda helped us purchase our first home - a beautiful 2 bedroom Edwardian condo in Cole Valley. Prior to working with Amanda, we were with another agent, with whom we had lost out on 5 properties. The condo that we bought through Amanda was by far better than any of the ones that we had previously bid on, and we could not have done it without her! Since then, she has represented us in purchasing other properties, and has given us invaluable support and guidance on putting them up on the rental market. We are so grateful to Amanda for her dedication! Amanda is thoughtful, committed, results-driven, efficient and resourceful, but what really sets her apart from others are her amazing network and stellar reputation in the San Francisco real estate market. I truly believe that being represented by her made all the difference! In these market conditions, it takes more than a good introduction letter and paying a premium to purchase property. If you want property in San Francisco, you will need to be represented by a brilliant agent...you need Amanda! read more

I worked with Susie to rent my apt in SF. I heard it is super difficult to find your apartment in SF downtown. With Susie, from the showing to signing the lease and all the way to the walk-through on move in day, Susie made the entire moving process smooth and easy. I would highly recommend renters to work with Susie, since there is no fee on the renters to work with a professional and sweet leasing agent. read more

We converted our TIC to a Condo and sold the unit on the day of conversion which is an especially difficult and technical transaction. There were challenges on all sides - legal issues, lender issues, city issues....I could go on and on. When we listed with Amanda, she became our best support the entire way through. She introduced us to many contacts that helped in our process - including the TIC / Condo Conversion process. She even helped find the handyman work and the logistics of the move (we have 2 young kids and one on the way so we needed a lot of help)!! She has connections all over the city and is incredibly familiar with the Pacific Heights neighborhood as well as the city regulations. Amanda was absolutely amazing throughout the entire experience. She was a voice of encouragement and knowledge and she never gave up on the process. She was also exactly right about listing price/selling price and we were happy with the results of the sale!!! Thank you Amanda!! read more

Amanda is an amazing real estate agent. I was a first time home buyer and she walked me through every step making me feel completely comfortable with the process. She also works extremely hard finding the perfect place. She drove me all around SF several weekends in a row until we found the "one" and she was nothing but totally patient when it came to any first-time buyer "jitters" that came up. I highly recommend Amanda Jones. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. Her assistant Brad Smith is also incredible. Together they are a tour-de-force. read more

Amanda is an awesome agent. She's patient with me, yet aggressive with the market--perfect balance. She listens to what her customer/client wants, and her suggestions are helpful, honest, and in-line with what the client is looking for. She works hard, and she's always available. I highly recommend her! read more

I interviewed a few realtors and then decided to go with Amanda. She had assisted one of my friends with her condo purchase in South Beach and one of my friends with the sale of their apartment complex. I had heard nothing but great things. When I first sat down with Amanda, her approach was different. She really tried to educate you on what you needed to look for. I was looking to buy a condo and she would tell me the inside scoop of the developers. She also told me which areas of the city had the best chance of increasing in value. She told me that she rarely if ever takes vacation. She loves her job that much. On the first day that we looked, she scheduled something like 10 places to look at. She knew that I wouldn't like a bunch of them, yet she wanted me to see the good and the bad. Amazingly enough, I found my place the first day. Unfortunately, someone else made an offer, yet all of my friends knew that if amanda was involved, I would get it. I did. If you are looking for a new place in the city, there is no one that I would recommend more than Amanda. She is professional, organized and will get you what you are looking for. Plus, she wants to be there when you decide to sell. read more

Can't recommend this real estate professional too highly! She took my TIC unit over from another agent and had it under contract in 10 days! (November 2010, extremely tough market!). She had the right marketing ideas and the right buyer profiling ideas. Amanda was fantastic at details and follow through, including dealing with a complete refinance of out TIC into fractional financing. There were many details of my transaction that didn't go so smoothly, but they all stemmed from things outside her control. And as they arose she was fantastic at helping get things back on track! BTW, did I tell you that my original agent was the one who recommended her? That is the height of peer endorsement! read more

I met Amanda in 2006 when she represented a fellow buyer in our TIC building. I immediately referred her to a house-hunting friend, whom she helped buy a home in SF. Seeing how proficient she was, I decided then that Amanda would be my Realtor going forward. Even though she hasn't made a dime off me yet, she has been my go-to person for information on the market, and she treats me like a valued client. She has an impressive knowledge of the SF market -- TICs in particular, which is a tricky task. She won't undersell or oversell --she's a straight shooter and ethical. As demonstrated by our long relationship, she realizes that repeat business and referrals are key, so she won't cut corners or steer you wrong. Navigating the real estate market is stress-inducing. When I know Amanda is on the case, I can sit back and relax. read more

Amanda was so helpful in helping us secure our recent apartment. I had a brief phone call with her and she said she would call me when a particular apartment came available. She 100% followed through on her promise and called us as soon as it became available. Amanda was extremely helpful and I would use her again. read more

I haven't used Amanda to buy or sell...YET. I met with Amanda to talk with her about our condo in Cow Hollow. She was fantastic. She is extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhood, and she provided sound advice about what we should and should not remodel. She has been gracious in answering my questions. She is down to earth and straight forward, which I absolutely appreciate. I referred her to a friend, and Amanda helped her find a great condo. We have met with a couple other realtors recently, but Amanda's knowledge, performance record, and professionalism will almost assuredly bring us back to her when its time to sell. read more

Amanda helped us purchase our first home and is the consummate pro. She knows the San Francisco market inside and out and helped us feel more comfortable with a daunting process, and put us in touch with a mortgage broker who also rocked! She was always available when we needed her, knew her stuff and always had a smile on her face even when dealing with the surly, difficult listing agent on the house we eventually purchased. Our first offer was accepted and we're happy with the deal she helped us to close. She really is as good as it gets! read more

I have worked with Amanda on many projects, and she has been one of the best realtors I have ever done business with. She is very forthcoming with her clients, and knows the business inside and out. She will go out of her way to help her clients, even when it doesn't immediately result in a commission. She really cares about the long term relationships with her clients. read more

I believe Amanda is the best realtor in San Francisco, hands down! She sold us our first house in 2006. She never pressured us and really listened for what we were looking for. It was such a smooth transaction, we closed in 12 days. She looked out for our interests and made us feel comfortable through each step. In 2011 when it came time to sell our 100 year old family home, I didn't hesitate for a second to call Amanda. It was a very difficult property due to years of decline, but she used her resources and got everything in order. To us it seemed like she performed miracles. All the stress I was expecting to feel drained away in her capable hands. I feel like nominating her for sainthood! She is one of the most ethical, intelligent, and informed realtors that you could possibly have. There is no one else I would even consider! read more

Amanda and Brad are first class. We were introduced to Amanda through a mutual friend and she transformed our house buying experience. She is knowledgable, direct, honest, and fun to be around! With Amanda, every step of the process was patient and personal. She took the time at the outset to get to know us--who we were, where we came from, what we like to do, and what factors were important to us in our house-buying search. When we first met her she took us around the city to see different types of places in which we might be interested, and thereafter was always thoughtful about anticipating the best properties that might fit our interests. At every stage of the process, she took the time to explain what to expect and the various strategic considerations we should keep in mind. When she had concerns about a property--or anticipated that we might--she was open about communicating them to us. Amanda's assistant Brad was also available to us to answer questions and was always prompt in providing us with information. Most important, when we told Amanda that we had found our perfect fit, she made sure that we had the best possible chance of winning our bid. We did, and are absolutely in love with our house. Thank you Amanda and Brad! read more

This review is long overdue. Earlier in 2014, Amanda helped my husband and I find our dream home. Throughout the process, she was responsive, professional, caring, and great to work with. She is extremely experienced with the house buying process, and listens to what your priorities are in finding a house. After five long months of searching and submitting several offers, Amanda found a house for us off market through her top agent network. We put in an offer and after a round of negotiation, our offer was accepted! We are now proud owners of our dream home. We recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone that knows the business and needs help finding their dream home! read more

We are proud to submit this review of Amanda Jones. Amanda is professional, relevant, responsive, strategic, flexible, sophisticated and pleasant to work with. She anticipated all our needs and took everything to the next level. She is a subject matter expert and that competitive advantage was absolutely evident throughout our experience working with Amanda. Amanda excels in sales and has mastered providing high quality client service. We recommend Amanda hands down. read more

Amanda Jones was referred to us from another business colleague for the sale of our San Francisco home. I did meet with Amanda (and another agent) before deciding she would be the best person to represent me in the sale of my home. Before the initial meeting was concluded I knew she was very organized, driven and communicative individual. She met me at the home several times and even brought her color chart and picked out the interior and exterior colors for the home before she was to have the photos done for marketing. Amanda has quite a team that help her (Thanks Brad) from photos / floor plans and staging of the home before it goes on the MLS. Her knowledge of the market helped us make an informed decision about the pricing of the home to attract the most interest. She held weekday evening open houses and broker tours as well as weekend open houses. In a matter of 16 days on the market we were in contract with a strong buyer for the price I was hoping to get for the home. During the contract period she was still very communicative and even confirmed the buyer's agent was on top of this clients to do list to ensure a smooth close. Our experience with Amanda was built on laying out expectations / trust and communication we couldn't be happier with our experience. If you are in the market for a wonderful professional to help you sell or purchase a home do yourself a favor and contact Amanda. read more
