He is the ultimate professional - very proactive and responsive, and knows the Bay Area very well. This knowledge coupled with years of experience was very handy when he helped us buy our first and second homes and sell our first one. When we were selling our condo in the middle of shelter in place and a declining market, he leveraged his access to technology and insightful market data to make our place stand out. And when we were looking for our new home, he was very proactive and made himself readily available for home viewings. His ability to strategize and attention to detail allowed us to find our new home and buy it at a great price. He understands every detail of every home, and provides us with valuable information that enabled us to make a rational and informed decision. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I worked with Peter on acquiring a rehab project where we took a run-down 2 bedroom, one bath…read moreproperty and converted it to a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home. Peter helped provide guidance in researching and finding the property, going back and forth on ideas for improvements and costs, and market insight into potential After Repair Value. We looked at A Lot of houses before finding the right one and he examined each potential investment as if he was spending his own money. I'm very grateful for his patience and being a knowledgeable sounding board. Peter has a good grasp of property valuation, the rehab process, construction, costs of materials/labor, and has a good sense of what can be done to improve floorplan, amenities, finishes, and landscaping. Most important, he scrutinizes neighborhood valuation to ensure that the cost basis and total rehab costs are low enough to support a list price that is reasonable for the neighborhood at time of sale. My project was a great success and I can't wait to work with Peter again.

John Beeney represented my husband and I in the sale of our condo, and in the process…read moresinglehandedly raised the bar to deity level for my expectation for realtors. To put it bluntly, John completely shattered my expectations and went above and beyond what I thought a full service agent could do for us. I was looking for someone with demonstrated experience, a good reputation, solid connections in the local real estate market and who was extremely detail-and-results oriented. I interviewed agents in the beginning, and selecting John was a no brainer after seeing his presentation. He knew the market and demographics, but what won me over was his hands on ability to prepare a property for sale and market it (most agents just talk about what they are going to do for you, but he had a portfolio with video and pictures of his work). His design aesthetics and construction background caught my attention - a John Beeney trademark and bonus that not many agents have, which proved invaluable. John treated the prepping and sale of our condo like it was his own home. I think he practically lived there for two weeks, pondering on paint colors for the walls, tackling lighting issues, replacing fixtures, completely resurfacing and painting a marble fireplace, mending carpet, directing a team of people to bring everything up to his incredibly high standards. No detail went unnoticed. As if that weren't enough, John even spent a significant amount of his own money to add finishing touches and fixtures, clean, take professional photos, create dazzling marketing materials and design a website. All in two weeks. When it came time to show the property, John knew exactly how to generate the right level of excitement and enthusiasm. Offers came in a mere week after hitting the market. I would not hesitate to recommend John as a realtor in SF. He is as good as it gets!

A long story short, Michael really gave me back the promised rebate 2 weeks after closing the deal, besides countless advices and supports I needed as a first time home buyer. My house hunting went on over a year, with failed offers and my mistakes, and he supported me and giving me the money was like seeing angel in the rough economy and tough real estate situation in the bay area. Once I finally closed a deal and moved in, I find more things to be done and need for money, so I appreciate the rebate preciously.

Homebuying in San Francisco is stressful and frustrating. The best thing to help temper these…read morefeelings is to get a great real estate agent. This is where Mike Yacobian comes in. Mike is part project manager, part researcher, and part therapist. My wife and I were frequently a wreck from the constant ups and downs of this process and Mike was always there to calm us and put things into perspective. He's not the type to just drive you around to open houses and sell you on the dream of home ownership. He's a partner that really works with you to ensure, as a team, there are clearly understood goals and a focused approach to achieving them. It took us almost a year to have an offer finally accepted. That's a lot of open houses, unaccepted offers, late night emails, and constant education that Mike supported with a positive and reassuring attitude. Mike also helped us build a team, including a mortgage partner, that ensured our offers had the absolute best chance of success while being within our comfort zone. There was never pressure to put us in a house or buying situation that was out of our limits. It must be especially hard to represent buyers in this aggressive and low-inventory market, but I knew Mike was with us for the long haul and was going to be actively engaged even if it took many more months to find the right place. We had a great experience with Mike and would recommend you give him a chance to help you buy (or sell) your home. He is an ally in, what we found to be, the strange and illogical world of San Francisco real estate. Best of luck to you!!!
