Samantha helped me through every step of the process of selling my home and purchasing a new one…read more Thanks to her expertise and strategy, my house sold for $170K over the asking price in less than a week after listing. She also helped create professional marketing videos and promoted the property on social media, which brought in great exposure and strong offers. On top of that, her team was incredible , they helped refresh and prepare my house within just a few weeks before listing, making it look its best for buyers. I truly feel blessed to have had Samantha as my agent. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. Her professionalism, dedication, and amazing team made the entire experience smooth and successful.

She got them a higher price than anticipated, and my parents were able to stay living in the home the entire time. We didn't have to spend any money on repairs or cosmetic updates, which was a huge relief. Samantha stayed on top of everything and kept us informed at every step. I'd absolutely recommend her to friends and family.

My wife and I spent 15 years in the East Bay dreaming about moving back to San Francisco, but when…read morewe finally decided to make it happen, we came to the search pretty unfocused. We knew what we wanted (classic SF character, water views, a walkable and vibrant neighborhood) but had no clear sense of where to find it all or how to think about our budget. We needed more than a real estate agent; we needed someone who could help us find the dream itself. Danielle Lazier at Vivre Real Estate became our buyer's agent, and she was exactly that person. She listened carefully, zeroed in quickly on what would feel like home to us, and brought real clarity to how our budget aligned with home values on the ground. She was direct and always available, without ever making us feel rushed. We found a stunning co-op apartment in Russian Hill with breathtaking views. Danielle's strategic pricing advice helped us craft a winning offer, and her expertise navigating the additional complexities of a co-op transaction was invaluable. She connected us with excellent vendors, guided us through contingencies, and kept us calm through closing. If you're a home buyer trying to navigate San Francisco's uniquely complex real estate market, there is no one more qualified to have in your corner. She turned a vague old dream into our actual home, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Seven years ago, we relocated from London to San Francisco. After starting out in a rental --…read moreoptions being limited at the time -- we decided to purchase in Pacific Heights. Danielle and her team guided us through the process with patience, giving us the time we needed to truly understand the market and making sure we settled on a place we genuinely loved. As the years passed, work brought us to Asia, and once it became clear we would not be returning to San Francisco, we made the decision to sell. Holding a property from thousands of miles away carries real complexity -- practical, financial, and tax considerations alike. Despite the distance, Danielle delivered an excellent sale and her team executed a remarkably smooth and swift closing. Our notary signing was conducted entirely online, with my wife joining from Singapore and myself from Paris -- a seamless process across time zones. Thank you, Danielle and Vivre team.

It's hard to describe how good of an experience it was to work with Kevin and Jonathan--they've…read morecompletely changed our opinion of how great real estate can be. We were nervous first-time home buyers, and had seen a condo we liked that was just listed, but didn't know any realtors. We cold emailed Kevin and Jonathan on Thursday night, had a video call later that night, read through the disclosures and worked out an offer plan that weekend, and by Monday morning our offer had been accepted. The speed they work at is insane! And yet at no point did we feel rushed into any decisions, because they are so thoughtful about laying out exactly what to watch out for, and what the upcoming steps will be. Not only that, but once we had the place they gave us a huge amount of information on doing renovations, and a big list of local contractors they recommend for each specific type of job. Kevin even drove us to his favorite lighting showroom, and introduced us to wood floor refinishers who were able to start that week. We're incredibly happy we found Kevin and Jonathan, and will be recommending them to all of our friends. Anyone looking to buy or sell in San Francisco would be lucky to work with them!

Working with Yesenia was one of the best decisions we made during our home search. As first-time…read morehome buyers, we were navigating a lot of uncertainty, and she made the entire process feel grounded and manageable. She is incredibly knowledgeable about each neighborhood, from the nuances of location to comps and shifting market dynamics. What really stood out was how Yesenia helped us think clearly and never pushed us in any direction, but instead guided us toward defining what our dream home truly looked like. That clarity made all the difference when it came time to act. In a highly competitive and constantly changing market, Yesenia helped us put together a strong, thoughtful offer strategy. Yesenia was patient throughout our months-long search, always responsive, and consistently kind. We genuinely enjoyed working with her-our vibe just clicked from day one. Even after our offer was accepted, her support didn't stop. From contract to close (and even beyond), she was there every step of the way, which meant a lot to us as first-time buyers.

Wanted to pass along a review to share Val's excellent work ethic, knowledge of her craft, and kind…read moreprofessionalism. As my wife and I looked to purchase our first home, we were concerned the San Francisco market may be too much for us. Too expensive. Too fast. Too stressful. All of it. Luckily, we connected with Val and the Krishnan team after seeing some of their YouTube videos. Through the use of data, Val showed we could live in the city that means so much to us. Her knowledge of the area seemed so thorough that it gave us the confidence to move forward. By going off-market and showing us a condo that exceeded our expectations, we almost immediately found the home that brought the sense of peace we were searching for. During the whirlwind of stress to acquire it over the next 24 hours after viewing, Val was incredibly responsive and kind. We now have the place of our dreams and Val's efforts could not be understated. We are very appreciative.

Heather and Florence were delightful to work with. Heather was referred to me by a friend when I…read moreembarked on my search for a first home. This was a huge challenge with a single income in the expensive Bay Area -- and my admittedly unrealistic high standards. Heather met with me, listened to my hopes and dreams, and patiently stuck with me for about 3 years while I figured out how to make it work. She helped educate me about the entire home-buying process. When Heather moved a bit farther away, she brought in Florence to help with showings. The two of them were a great team, partnering with me through two offers and the purchase of my condo. Florence is a sweetheart. She's also great at getting information. Both Heather and Flo are warm, experienced professionals who willingly walked me through the stressful process, celebrated the purchase with me, and continued answering questions after the deal was done. Highly recommend.

My husband and I had no idea if buying in SF was a possibility for us. When I mentioned to my…read morefriend that we were thinking about looking she immediately said, "You have to use my agent, she's the best." Now, 5 months, 3 offers, and one successfully bought home later we can confidently say Amanda IS the best and made all the difference for us. She was a confident calm through the storm of Bay Area real estate (SF for us). I never felt that she was angling for a sale or had anything other than our best interests in mind. She was extremely accommodating and respectful of time, somehow always available even when I know she was busy. At home tours she was inspecting things harder than we were and knew a million things to look out for that we never would have thought of. She is Proactive with a capital 'P'. Calling agents, getting in touch with home inspectors, reaching out to her (plentiful) network of specialists and contractors who always got back to her. In a hot market (which we definitely are in now) time is of the essence and she prepared us with everything we needed to be ready to put an offer in fast. She is realistic and helped us know what to expect when list prices are frustratingly so much lower than what a home will actually go for (which can be heartbreaking!). At the same time, she was willing to fight for us and helped us craft the strongest offer possible, even when it didn't have the best chances. Our offers were done so well that even if we weren't able to be the highest, selling agents always got back to us and kept us in the running for as long as we could be (and eventually we got one!). After we got a home Amanda didn't disappear, she has been instrumental in guiding us through new home ownership and finding the right people to help us with the work we wanted to do. Most importantly, on top of all of this, Amanda was really a pleasure to work with. She's funny, insightful and brings the perfect balance of kindness and honesty. I couldn't recommend her more!

Dear Amanda, I…read moreappreciate all the time, effort, skill, and just plain work you put into this sale. I could not and would not have done it without your help. Your persistence and expertise made it an interesting project rather than a nightmare, which I am sure it would have been without your help. When I wanted to scream "HELP!" and did so, you always picked up the problem and made it comprehensible. Your diligence kept my confidence going. And now I can relax as soon as this probate case is over. Sincerely, Pam Gill

We recently worked with Laura to pull market comparables for our home in San Francisco, and the…read moreexperience was exceptional. We initially connected with her through our business school alumni network and already knew of her stellar reputation, as she had successfully helped two of our friends navigate their own home puchases/ sales in the city. The current SF market is moving incredibly fast--especially with the recent AI boom--and because inventory is so tight, finding accurate comps for a unique property can be a challenge. We had done a significant amount of "homework" before reaching out, but Laura's insight was invaluable. After working with her for a week, we were impressed by her market knowledge-- the data was well-supported by nuanced judgement that confirmed our own research and gave us much-needed confidence in our valuation. Ultimately, we decided not to put our home on the market at this time, but this process gave us a glimpse into the level of professionalism and expertise Laura brings to a real transaction. We would not hesitate to recommend her to any of our friends or colleagues looking for a sharp, reliable RE advisor in San Francisco.

She just sold a 2nd property for me and found a buyer in less than 2 weeks in a neighborhood where houses were staying on the market for month. I hesitated with putting it on the market but I had confidence that if anyone would be successful selling it, it would be Laura. The first property she sold for me was not in the greatest shape and Laura got way more (bidding war) than I thought it was worth and she sold that property quickly also.
