He gave me great advice on how to prepare the unit to stand out from other available properties, and gave a white glove experience during the sale process, handling marketing, open houses, and discussions with interested parties. Thanks to Simon, I was able to enter escrow quickly with a favorable offer and get a sale done on the timeline I discussed with him. I'd recommend Simon for anyone who'd like to make sure their agent is aware of how the market is evolving in real estate and has significant experience locally in SF. If and when I ever buy again in SF, I'll make sure Simon's helping me to get the right property for my larger family needs now.

Tim helped us buy our very first home in the bay area back in 2015. Being a first time homebuyer,…read moreTim made us feel totally confident and informed throughout the entire process. During our years of home ownership, we would regularly check in with Tim on the state of the market, where he was always willing to speak and give candid information on real estate in the area. When it came time to sell, because our buying experience went so smooth, we wanted to work with Tim again. The selling process was just as smooth as the buying process. Tim was very hands on and gave our property a lot of attention to ensure it received top dollar. I highly recommend working with Tim for your real estate needs!

Working with Madeline Gibson and the Ruth Krishnan team was an exceptional experience. Having…read moretrusted Ruth with a past property sale in the City, I already knew their team standards were high, but Madeline still managed to exceed them. My search started with her colleague, Yesinia Beatriz, who supported me early on and connected me with Madeline who was a great fit for my needs! I wanted a property in a highly competitive, expensive area during a time of low inventory. Madeline never made my goals feel unrealistic. She helped me purchase my dream home in a newly renovated TIC building on the border of Russian Hill and Nob Hill, smoothly navigating the complex TIC financing requirements. Madeline is highly knowledgeable, efficient, and responsive. She educated me using recent comparable sales data and reviewed every document thoroughly. In a multi-bid situation, her strategy secured a home that not only met my must-haves but also my would-love-to-haves (hello private garage, view, and fireplace), on my very first offer, with zero back-and-forth counters. She operates with total integrity and made me feel genuinely cared for throughout the process. I highly and absolutely recommend Madeline and the Ruth Krishnan team. I can't thank them enough!

Lauren and team were FANTASTIC! My husband and I have lived in SF for 10 years and we were finally…read moreready to look at buying our first home as the rental market went crazy. We had no clue what we were doing walking into this and Lauren helped guide the way from teaching us about the market in general, advising us and referring us to good financing options, and more. The very first thing we did was an exercise to help make sure we had realistic expectations - we looked at a variety of neighborhoods with our price point in mind and looked at previously sold units to understand what we could and could not afford. It was very helpful to then narrow our search to start looking. Lauren walked us through all the options and made sure we wouldn't waste time with things that didn't make sense. When we found homes we liked, Lauren immediately jumped into action, pulling down inspections, sharing intel on the selling agent, and more. She would walk us through the full inspection reports and help flag things we should dig further into. As a family with a kid, she was also extremely thoughtful in guiding us based on nuances of kids in the city. And when it came time to negotiating the home we got, she worked her magic! Up against two cash offers, Lauren helped us navigate a competitive offer in other ways to beat them out. Unreal! Our friends were blown away at how quickly we were able to get a place compared to what they've seen in this crazy market. Our full time from kickoff with Lauren to close was probably only about 2 months total - wayyyy faster than we thought any of this would go down in the crazy SF market. Her team also helped throughout the close process to make sure we were set on moving logistics and getting set for all the new things involved in home ownership. We are so grateful to Lauren and her team who went above and beyond to make sure we were getting the home of our dreams and that we were set up for success. Would highly recommend her and the entire Krishnan team!

If you are looking…read morefor a real estate agent who is responsive, professional, and delivers world-class results, do yourself a favor and reach out to Janice Lee. Our experience selling a property with Janice was flawless from start to finish. At our initial consultation, she already had a meticulous comparative market analysis ready to go. What I appreciated most was her practical approach: she inspected the layout and precisely pinpointed what needed fixing to get the maximum price, while intentionally keeping our upfront cash outlays low. The results speak for themselves--we had an incredible offer the day after we listed! Her follow-ups were prompt, her execution was tight, and her knowledge of the local SF market is unparalleled. 10/10 recommendation for anyone looking to list their home.

I knew nothing about real estate transactions and she guided me through every step of the process. She pointed out things I needed to pay attention to when viewing properties, spotted defects I would not otherwise be aware of, helped set competitive offer price, assisted with review of tons of documents, and much more. Now I am so happy and excited about my new home, thanks to Janice and her team's hard work. Hands down five star service!

Danielle and her team are amazing. She helped us through both selling our Potrero house and buying…read moreour new house in Noe, and there were SO many moving pieces along the way. She was always available, super responsive, and an incredibly valuable co-pilot throughout the whole journey. When it came to preparing our house for sale, as well as our pricing strategy, her team and network added so much value -- ultimately resulting in an incredible offer that was $1.4M over asking. On the flip side, when she helped us buy our new home in Noe Valley, it was a total nail-biter with multiple offers and rounds of negotiation. In the end, we won because of Danielle's long-term relationships and experience. She has her finger on the pulse of the SF market, she'll tell you what she really thinks, and most importantly, she's just a real, authentic person who you genuinely trust to have your back. We couldn't recommend her more.

She met with us to find out our needs. With years of old furniture and household items left behind, her team cleared out the rest of the house. They refinished the hardwood floors, painted the interior, power washed the exterior of the house, and spruced up the back yard. After staging the house, it sold in the first weekend at a price we were more than happy with. We highly recommend Kara Okamoto for her professionalism and great customer service.

Here it is! We finally became first time homeowners and it only became possible with the support…read morefrom the best realtors in the game: Erin and Andrea Govoni. We've met several realtors through our independent open house journey, and after the first brief encounter with Erin and Andrea, we instantly knew they were the perfect fit for us. We had a very tight timeline with high expectations, and as novices in the real estate world, Erin and Andrea really educated us and advocated for us throughout the entire process. We can't describe how much we appreciated this. Erin and Andrea were so accommodating to our busy schedule, meeting with us afterwork, going to multiple house tours throughout the week, and quickly responding to any and every message we sent. They were also just a joy to be around and working with them really made us enjoy this whole process. We never felt pressured to like a listing, felt comfortable to ask any type of question, and could tell how extremely organized they were (outlined every step and expectation), They're also just really funny and personable while being professional. Looking for and buying a home can be a stressful process, and we are so happy that we put our trust in Erin and Andrea. We can't imagine working with any other realtors again.

Andrea and Erin made our first home purchase possible in a market that doesn't wait for anyone…read more As first-time buyers in San Francisco, we had no idea how fast we'd need to move -- or how much of that speed depends on having agents who know what they're doing. Andrea and Erin kept us on pace in a market where deadlines are measured in days, not weeks, and never let that pace turn into pressure. What stood out from the very beginning was how much time they spent explaining things. Every step, every document, every decision point -- they walked us through it until we actually understood it, not just nodded along. And they listened just as carefully. They took the time to learn what we actually wanted, which meant that by the time we were touring homes, they already knew what would work for us and what wouldn't. And we toured a lot of homes -- 30 of them. They never rushed us toward a decision or acted like we were taking too long. They were incredibly responsive throughout: questions answered quickly, no matter the hour, no matter how small. We made three offers before one stuck. After each loss they didn't miss a beat getting us ready for the next -- same energy, same fast turnaround, no sense that they were tired of us. Before every major decision, they made sure we understood exactly what we were committing to and that it was genuinely what we wanted, not what was fastest or easiest to close. When the seller made last-minute changes on closing day, they handled it immediately and kept everything on track so we could still close on time. We'd been warned that first-time buyers get overwhelmed and outmaneuvered here; with Andrea and Erin, we never felt either. And the house we ended up with is perfect. Thirty tours and two lost offers were worth it to land exactly where we wanted to be -- and we wouldn't have gotten here without them. If you're buying in the Bay Area, especially for the first time, we'd recommend Andrea and Erin without hesitation.

With a uprise competitive market with numerous offers on the table, it was very competitive. My family has also closed multiple properties under Samantha Huang in San Francisco.

We are forever grateful for the experience to work with Samantha. -Johnson T & Family.

Samantha and her team for the job done for us!…read more Before any referrals, by chance we met Samantha at an open house while we were in our window shopping phase. We were impressed with her approachability and professionalism. It crossed our mind to work with her as our exclusive buying agent then. Later, we found out several of our friends also successfully bought with Samantha in San Francisco so we decided to reach out. The process was simple, we met on a zoom call and shared what our preferences and deal breakers were. Four months later and we closed in the sunset district! We never felt pressured and Samantha kept us positive and kept us engaged as the market competitiveness can be disheartening at times.
