David is a gem! He is an expert in the area's Real Estate market, and was so patient with us as we discussed our hopes and also learned about what is realistic. He replies immediately, is always cheerful and knowledgeable, and has so many connections it smoothed the process even more! We feel so so lucky to have worked with him. When we showed our new house to our girls, one commented that she never knew she could have such freedom, and the other said that David makes dreams come true - and he does! We cannot recommend David enough - he is an SF native who intuitively knows how to shepherd nervous buyers through the process while also staying grounded. Thank you, David! read more

We chose David because of his extensive knowledge of the nuances of SF different areas. Within the first 2 meetings, he understood our needs, our asks and even our styles. When we encountered issues with our seller, David calmly, wisely guided us through the tedious paperwork, gave us great advices, and was very responsive to our multiple questions/concerns/texts. We relied on David's experience and counsel when we bought our condo and will definitely work with him in the future. I highly recommend David for your next real estate purchase.

David Zimmerman has done a wonderful job for me on several occasions, selling my late mother's house about 15 years ago and then handling several estate and trust sales. But, his most recent representation of my family-owned residential condominium in San Francisco needed all of his skills, professionalism and calmness. There were more than numerous, and significant, hiccups throughout, but David handled all of them, kept everything on track and the sale successfully closed as scheduled - leading to a satisfied seller (me) and satisfied buyers who retained their home of several decades. The transaction was not easy - at all - and David was there every step of the way to assure the timely closing. The sale likely would not have happened had it not been for David and he earned every nickel of his fee. read more

David helped me sell my condo, and exceeded my expectations. He's a terrific communicator, highly experienced, and a cool guy overall. We met him at another open house and knew almost immediately we were going to recruit him to help us sell. He's a SF native and knows the City in and out. He explains process, next steps, and action items in an easy to follow fashion, but can also get into detailed strategic conversations.. so a good agent for both new and experienced sellers. David was open to my ideas, has a good network of contractors/supporters, and he has very wide reach. He showed my property many times before the open house, resulting in above asking offers, and still put on a great open house which resulted in a great offer significantly above asking. Highly recommend! read more

David is an excellent realtor and a trusted guide. His deep knowledge of and love for the city is incredible. As we explored homes around the city, David would highlight businesses, artists, secret community gems, and special events that were directly relevant to me and my interests. He truly took the time to get to know me and understand my needs. Because he is unfalteringly kind and patient, I could give him direct, honest feedback on what did/didn't work and we could adapt our strategy. He was hella responsive through text and made me laugh when I was upset or disheartened. When I found my dream home, David acted quick and our offer was accepted within hours. He not only has strong ties to the community, but also to his realtor colleagues. I am convinced that those relationships helped our offer and ensured we were trusted from the beginning. David embodies San Francisco: the deeper you dig, the greater the reward. He is a very cool dude. read more

Throughout preparing our property with his vendors, service people, and stagers to negotiating the sale and signing of documents, we relied on David's expert counsel from beginning to end. David was there to guide us in making the right decisions in every step of the process. His patience with our questions and his attention to detail provided us with great confidence during the transaction. With his knowledge of the San Francisco real estate market and his extensive professional marketing network, we established a listing price that resulted in a high level of interest. This culminated in selling the property, over asking, in just 14 days. David is wonderful to work with and made our experience a great one. He is an amazing real estate advisor and we would highly recommend his services to anyone in the real estate market. Thank you David! Risa and Joe M read more

David my agent in my first home purchase in San Francisco. He was quite knowledgeable and supportive to me, and provided valuable information regarding homes we toured and were interested in. He guided me through this journey and showed me the tricky issues of finding a suitable condo in this competitive real state market. I highly recommend David to anyone who want to buy a home in San Francisco! read more

I worked with David on two occasions in the past 5 years. First, he helped me buy my first condo in SF. We both had to jump through some underwriting hoops with one lender, than another and he was amazing in guiding me throughout this complex process. I reached out to David at the start of Covid 19 lockdown and asked to help sell my condo. David was incredible. He quickly learned how to navigate the environment and regulations in lockdown times; he gave me honest advice of when to best list my property and at the end we were able to sell quickly and without complications. David is an incredible real estate partner. I highly recommend him and will definitely use his services when I'm ready to invest in my next property! read more

I recently relocated to San Francisco for a job and decided to work with David Zimmerman from Pac Union. Interestingly enough, my fiance and I were in the market for a rental rather than a purchase and were pleased to find that Pac Union supplied such services. David Zimmerman was a fantastic agent to work with and provided over the top service for us newbies to SF. David picked us up from our hotel at the agreed upon time and drove us to each and every appointment that he had made for us in terms of our rental search. Being new to the area made me nervous about searching neighborhoods in which I was completely ignorant about. Working with David completely alleviated any worry I had going into the process. He drove us through every single neighborhood (no exaggeration) and explained everything from the history of the neighborhood to the little nook and cranny-type bars and restaurants he insisted we visit. In addition to driving us to our scheduled appointments, he took time between appointments to show us the real beauty of SF, including the Presidio, GG Park, Ocean Beach, and many famous parks in the City. Working with David felt as if we had our own personal tour guide. Being a resident of the area all of his life, he knew every little detail and hidden gem the city had to offer. At the end of the process, I considered David a friend, more so than a salesperson. I highly recommend David for purchasing a home or renting one in our case. We found a great place as a result of his personal service and are extremely happy with our neighborhood. read more

We worked with David to sell our apartment a month ago. We were moving state and from the initial meeting David instilled a confidence with us which meant moving in these strange times was a breeze. Attentive to our needs, impeccable follow up along with experience and knowledge of the market meant that the process was easy and stress free. Thank you David. Would highly recommend. read more

One and done! My wife and I had been eyeing property sales in the city for a while, so we knew the ballpark for where things were going to be, but it was David who helped us make the right offer and work through the counter offer. And we got it! The loan process was much more stressful, but David was always available, never a blocker, and always willing to explain the process. Experienced and responsive. Highly recommended! read more

David went well above and beyond to ensure a very successful sale on our house. We were living out of the area. The home was tenant occupied and there was lots to be done on the house presale. He worked with our lawyer and many others to make it all happen without a hiccup. Would highly recommend!! read more

SF is a complex market so you need an agent who listens to his clients, understands their needs, and can match that to the neighborhoods and prices here. David was masterful at both. He helped us narrow our search and found us a wonderful 2BR/2BA w/ outdoor space in Hayes Valley for under our budget in a extremely competitive market. David has excellent local knowledge, great negotiation skills, and is very responsive. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or upgrade in this crazy market. read more

We couldn't be happier with our experience with David. As first-time homebuyers in SF we turned to him for a lot of advice and he was spot-on throughout the entire process. David knows an incredible amount about the various neighborhoods in SF, where the best places are to eat, drink and live, is well connected with other agents showing properties to get the full scoop on each place, and gave us all the tools we needed to land in our dream home. He also gave us great advice as to what offers would lock in the properties we were excited about. He was always a phone call/text away and more than happy to assist with any question or concern that we had. We would urge anyone, especially first-time buyers, to work with David - you will not be disappointed! read more

My husband and I recently sold our apartment in San Francisco and purchased a home in a nearby suburb. David ZImmerman was integral to insuring that a complex transaction went smoothly and successfully. The purchase of our new home was contingent on a 60-day close of our TIC apartment in San Francisco. David knew the San Francisco TIC market very well, recommended an affordable and talented stager, held a few open houses, and in turn we received multiple offers. David assisted us in choosing the best offer and then set about making sure the sale was processed as quickly as possible, no small feat given all of the lending requirements associated with a TIC sale. At the same time, David ensured that we were able to purchase the home we wanted outside of the City by working successfully with the Seller's realtor and our mortgage broker. David kept us updated at every step of the process, and managed all of our demands and questions quickly and professionally. For our new home, David was able to make helpful recommendations for inspectors and contractors. David Zimmerman is an excellent realtor. He is experienced, knowledgeable, and savvy. He works hard for his clients and the results are impressive. My husband and I highly recommend his services. read more

David helped my brother and me navigate the complex hoops of San Francisco real estate. We came to him looking to sell and buy simultaneously, with a pretty extensive wish list. He took all of this in stride, and guided us through the entire process: from getting in touch with loan officers and hosting/attending open houses to contract negotiations and meetings with the title company. The insight he provided into market trends and innovative ways to check items off our wishlist made this gargantuan undertaking significantly more manageable. In the end, we found the perfect condo in the perfect location. The closing process wasn't exactly smooth, but David was there every step of the way, coordinating with appropriate parties, doing research, and presenting options in a clear and helpful way. As a first-time home buyer, I can't thank him enough for getting me into my dream home! read more

David Zimmerman has been a tremendous help in getting my mothers house ready for sale and SOLD. From the time she died, a year ago, through getting the reluctant and difficult tenants out that lived there, helping with contractor and subs, in preparing the house for sale, through the listing and finally the sale, he stuck with us. Throughout he made recommendations, helped with the Consierge program, and explained issues and city requirements that I was not aware of. Without his vast experiance and knowledge in the SF market, we would have encountered problems and delays. However, for all his knowledge, he was never pushy, and always listened to my questions, and opinions. I am very grateful for all his assistance and support. AND, he did it all through the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 situation.. read more

We used David Zimmerman to sell our home in Pacific Heights and he was outstanding. We worked with David three years prior when we bought our home. David stood out as one of the best realtors San Francisco has to offer: his diligence and knowledge of the market in each neighborhood, the amount of care and time he put into each listing and his track record of success. David spent hours answering our questions and was invaluable in helping to arrange a handyman, stagers, and even a mover and storage unit for a last minute move! He truly went above and beyond. When we saw our listing we were blown away. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and drew tons of interest. After we accepted an offer, David ensured every step of the transaction progressed smoothly; which is a tall order given our home was a co-op. We recommend David to everyone we know looking for a home in San Francisco. He is a true professional and a genuine guy. I realize it won't always be easy to sell/buy a home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor. read more

I was new to the San Fran bay area and looking for an apartment to rent. David was the agent my company hired for my relocation whom I found was really friendly and helpful. David gave me several tours of the city and showed me plenty of apartments in different neighborhoods. He knows every corner of the city very well. The showings were great for me even as a tourist. I was able to recognize some hidden bars and restaurants in many districts after the searching with David. I found a perfect apartment with great balance of commute, night life and amenities. I would highly recommend David to who is looking for a place to live in San Francisco. read more

I worked with David to sell my house in San Francisco while I was out of town. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, having been a long time resident, which helped us cater a market strategy that was overall effective. On top of this he was very helpful in finalizing the house work while we were gone, managing vendors and payments, as well as staying on top of all of the details. I would highly recommend David's professionalism, response time, and great personality! read more

I've dealt with several realtors in the past and expected the same sort of mediocre service as before. What a surprise! David was more than willing and able to go the distance and provided me with excellent service. His pro-active and perceptive style got the job done quickly. The sale of my home could have been a complicated, drawn out and stressful journey but thanks to David taking the reigns, it was easier than I could have imagined. That's mainly due to his commitment to being totally available, thoroughly competent and his positive intention to get a successful outcome for his client. Needless to say, David's the best!! read more

I have used David twice now and highly recommend him. My last move was out of state, so I had to rely on David to handle all repairs, staging (renting furniture for the property while on sale), and open houses completely unaided by me. Everything was handled promptly and properly, and David was careful to ensure that I was always advised on any developments or progress in the sale. I'm certain that, because of David's efforts, I got the best possible price for my sale. read more

I recently bought a downtown condo, with David Zimmerman's help. He was a genuine joy to work with. Flexible, prompt, courteous, and always helpful. I would use him again in a heart beat. read more

We were first time buyers, and David made us feel supported and confident about what could have been a stressful process. He was in constant contact with us, always available to talk, and his advice was helpful. David was there to hold our hands when we asked, but he always knew when to step back and let us go with our gut reactions. Best of all, we both felt like David was diligently fighting for our cause; he did everything he could to help us find the home of our dreams! read more

After many weekends spent attending open houses and months of searching through listings, I finally came upon the perfect place. With David's help, I was able to purchase the home that I've always dreamed of--the first and only property that I've ever made an offer on!--despite having to compete in San Francisco's competitive housing market. The property didn't perfectly fit the parameters that I initially gave David (e.g., no extra bathroom), but after just a few weeks of working with me, he knew me well enough to introduce me to it anyways. And I immediately fell in love with it! David helped formulate a winning strategy, including assertively presenting a pre-emptive offer that was accepted amongst four other offers received (and it wasn't the highest!). Without his experience and counsel throughout the process, I couldn't have obtained the perfect place that I now call home. David is a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend him to any of my close friends or family who are searching for their perfect place or looking to sell their home. read more
