As first-time homebuyers searching for our forever home, we were working under a tight four-month deadline--and thanks to their exceptional team, we found the perfect home in just two months. We worked closely with Wesley and Kinsey, who were both incredible throughout the entire process. They took the time to educate us on every part of the home-buying journey, helped us understand the pros and cons of each property, and answered every question and concern we had with patience and clarity. Their experience truly shows. Wesley and Kinsey are outstanding negotiators who helped us secure a great deal on our home. They were honest, supportive, and knowledgeable from start to finish, making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. If you want honest, patient, and highly experienced realtors, we cannot recommend OWN Real Estate enough. They helped us find our forever home, and we are so grateful for their guidance and dedication.

We moved to the peninsula less than a year ago and started renting with the plan to buy a house in…read morethe coming year or two. When we interviewed realtors we were drawn to Raziel because it felt like every question we had was answered and backed up by data-driven analyses. We were also really intrigued by his unconventional process that is extremely involved in the beginning. Coming from out of state we learned so much about the area and what kinds of properties we could expect for our budget in each neighborhood we were interested in. This allowed us to really hone in our search and made the process less stressful because at that point we knew exactly what we wanted and were prepared for the right house to come along. During this time Raziel also guided us through the process of understanding buying a turn-key property vs. something that would need renovations. When we found our ideal property, we were a little anxious because it was an off-market Hillsborough house. But Raziel was quick to move and get us a showing and guide us to make the right offer for the property. It was complicated, as some off-market listings can be, but it was Raziel's strong relationship with the listing agent that helped our offer prevail. We have to say that every time we saw a house and the listing agent heard we were working with Raziel they had a genuinely warm reaction that made it obvious he is well-liked and respected in his field. Also, Raziel knew our plan was to buy in the 1-2 year range and we never felt pressure to move that timeline up. Instead, for every house we considered putting an offer on, Raziel gave us a thorough discussion of all the reasons why someone would not want to buy the house, and that helped us really decide if it was the right property for us. It always felt like he truly wanted to find us the right house for our family, not just make a business transaction. We feel so grateful that we worked with Raziel and his team to find our ideal property (thank you Jenny and Angilee!).

With their support, we bought our home…read moresooner than we expected, and the entire process was incredibly smooth: our very first offer was accepted. In the Peninsula's competitive market, we couldn't believe it! As first time home buyers, we were looking for someone deeply knowledgeable who could guide us through the entire process: from understanding local neighborhoods and why buyers might choose one over the other, narrowing down our criteria along with what's realistic in our budget, doing diligence when the right house pops up, and navigating the offer process. We didn't know what we didn't know, and we really wanted an expert. Raziel was exactly who we were looking for! He has a very well-structured process that we loved - touring neighborhoods, looking at past sold homes together, and moving quickly when the right house pops up. I really enjoyed learning as much as I could from Raziel, as he has so much local knowledge that I would never have learned otherwise. For the home we ultimately purchased, he suggested bringing an engineer on-site to take a look at the house before we submitted our offer. He also flagged an unusual item in the seller's disclosure packet that he hadn't seen before and recommended reviewing it with a real estate attorney. We followed both suggestions. Everything checked out, and because of that diligence, we felt confident submitting our offer. We would not have taken those extra steps without his guidance. Raziel truly de-risked the process as much as possible. By offer day, we felt informed and prepared. We love our home and are incredibly grateful for Raziel and his team. We can't recommend them highly enough!

From the start, Samantha carefully considered all of our requirements and guided us through what could have been an overwhelming process. As first-time homebuyers, we especially appreciated: * Samantha's flexibility with our schedules and willingness to work around our availability * How upfront and honest she was during home tours -- pointing out both the positives and the things we needed to watch out for, which made us feel like there were no surprises along the way * The way she empowered us with knowledge throughout the process, helping us feel confident in our decisions * The team's strong connections in the local real estate network, which gave us an edge in navigating the Peninsula market * The guidance on expected price points for each home, which helped us set realistic expectations and make competitive offers * How personable and approachable Samantha and Jennie were -- they made the entire journey feel less transactional and more like working with trusted friends When we entered escrow, the process went far smoother than we anticipated, thanks to Samantha, Jennie, and the entire Zen Coast team. Their guidance made what could have been a stressful milestone feel surprisingly seamless. We would highly recommend Zen Coast Homes to anyone considering a home purchase. If we ever decide to buy or sell in the future, we wouldn't hesitate to partner with them again.

We know lots of realtors and had lots of great choices for who could represent us. We ultimately decided on Matt after sitting down with him for a cup of coffee to see how we all gelled. My wife is very easy going and I am very structured, need a lot of contant attention and like to be kept in the loop, in other words I'm high maintenance. We explained what we were looking for in a property and set Matt to the task. We looked at a few places on our own and had Matt show us a few others. The property we ultimately purchased was a "for sale by owner" which many realtors might shy away from for fear of having to work too hard. Matt was stellar and exceeded our expectations every step of the way and did a great job of keeping us in the loop at all times. He team was on top of all the details and worked well with our finance team behind the scenes to make sure the transaction proceeded smoothly. We would highly recommend Matt Haugen to anyone purchasing a home on the coastside.

We were thinking of moving from eastern Canada to San Francisco... Some friends with whom Vita…read morehandled their LA to SF move, called her up and she volunteered a day to show us around the peninsula, knowing that this was only a scouting trip and that we might never even move... Okay, so we did decide to move to SF, but couldn't get american financing right away, so we needed to find a place to rent. Again, Vita volunteered her time to look at rental listings and e-mail them to us, and when we came down for a rental-hunting trip, she took us around to view the rentals and make recommendations. So when it came time to actually buy, we knew she'd be a hard-worker for us to satisfy what we were looking for... She had the patience to deal with a really long and drawn-out process (apparently my name is similar to an alias used by some Burmese drug-lord and the stupid mortage company couldn't figure out that we were not the same person) and was with us throughout the whole process. Bottom line- Vita cares.

Hands down, Vita is as good as you can get in a real estate agent!…read more In the last 5 or so years my husband and I have moved 3 times. Once locally, once across the country, and once internationally. Vita managed both our international move and our local move. She knows her stuff, she listens to what you want, she works fast, and to top it off she's great with kids. Our 4 year old ADORES her. It makes a huge difference when you're buying a house and your agent really understands how hard it is to juggle with kids. I don't have a single negative to say in this review. Look her up, give her a call. Vita gets 5 stars!

We hit on our second outbound offer through Daniel. His market knowledge was spot on - each house went for the exact range that he shared with us. He was able to show us a wide array of houses for our price point. We ended up landing the best fit for us and couldn't be more thrilled. We were able to operate in today's market through strong organization, communication, and speed. Daniel worked effectively within our limited bandwidth to see houses and we were able to close in less than a month of viewing houses. Our luck didn't stop there, as he has had great contacts for lenders, insurance companies, electricians and more tailored to our Pacifica home. I highly recommend working with Daniel, if given the opportunity in the Peninsula or San Francisco markets.

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.
