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!

Working with Val and the Krishnan team on our home search and purchase was a great experience!…read moreAlthough they have a busy practice, we felt very well educated and prepared at every step. (Pro tip: take the homework they give you seriously- the Past Sold exercise was incredibly valuable) Val and her team were always present and reliable when an important decision needed to be made, a problem required solving, or an opportunity demanded action. Val brings a lot of experience and judgment to the process. She is warm and personable, but also pragmatic, firm, and refreshingly no-nonsense when the situation calls for it. We appreciated having someone who could cut through the noise, give us a clear read on a situation, and help keep a complicated transaction moving forward. She also created opportunities for us that we genuinely don't think we would have had with another agent. She and her team were thorough with the details and documents, helped us work through a seemingly endless number of questions, and made the overall process much more manageable. Val is very good at what she does. If you're looking for someone experienced, well connected, pragmatic, and effective when it counts, while still being empathetic, she's a great person to have in your corner. We would absolutely work with her again and would happily recommend her to friends looking to buy or sell a home.

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 helped my…read moredad with selling his house in the Portola neighborhood of San Francisco, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better agent to guide us through the process. From the very beginning, Samantha made us feel comfortable and confident that we were in good hands. She is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely cares about the people she works with. She was always patient, communicative, and willing to take the time to answer any questions we had, no matter how big or small. She also speaks multiple languages, including Cantonese, which was especially helpful for my dad and made the entire experience that much more personal. One thing we really appreciated was how much effort Samantha put into making sure the house looked its absolute best. From professional photography and video shoots to staging and a dedicated property website, she went above and beyond to showcase the home and attract potential buyers. You can really tell she takes pride in her work and wants the best for her clients. On top of everything, Samantha is an amazing negotiator! Her experience, understanding of the market, and strong negotiation skills helped us sell the house for $200,000 above our asking price! We couldn't have been happier with the outcome, and it was reassuring knowing we had someone who was truly looking out for our family's best interests every step of the way. Samantha made this entire process extremely easy and stress free. We're incredibly grateful for her hard work, patience, and dedication. If you're looking for a trustworthy and experienced real estate agent in San Francisco, we can't recommend Samantha enough!

Selling a home that our parents had lived in for over 20 years was a major milestone for our family, and Samantha helped make the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. From preparing the house for sale to navigating offers and closing, she was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. What we appreciated most was her clear communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond to guide our family through the selling process. She was always available to answer questions, explain our options, and make sure we felt informed and comfortable with each decision. One thing she did exceptionally well was communicating both in English for me and Cantonese for my parents! Also, she went above and beyond in negotiating the sale price in a timely manner!

Laura represented me as a seller of a condo. She did an exceptional job throughout the process:…read moreassessing where to invest money to improve the property, preparing all the documentation for a seamless and fast transaction (including appropriate inspections to reassure buyers that the condo was in good condition), evaluating comparables and pricing the unit competitively yet enticingly (hard to achieve, but she did!), and designing a marketing campaign that, frankly, was beyond my expectations. Her team of subcontractors is top notch. Tim, who handled the painting, was a true asset and a wonderful person. What made her exceptional was her communication with me and went the extra mile to help me bring the condo to the market. I am extremely grateful for that. I left California while the condo was still getting prepped for sale without a worry in my mind, because Laura and I had timed everything with the right people to bring the property to the market promptly and well positioned to sell. She handled everything in my absence, which was such a relief. The sale was a great success. It was fast, smooth, with no hiccups. I can't believe how lucky I was to have found Laura. She's not the only agent I have worked with, but she is definitely the best.

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.

Proactive with maintenance and safety repairs, my only complaint is they've been cashing my rent checks early the past few months. Just because I'm conscientious and mail them early doesn't mean they should be cashed mid-month.

They are frequently unresponsive when residents need answers, yet somehow have no problem being aggressive when communicating on their terms. I understand things go wrong in property management, but what matters is how you handle them.

I would strongly encourage prospective tenants to think twice before renting from a company that treats residents this way.

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.

We recently worked with Vikrant Goel and the Flat Fee Buyers team, and they exceeded our expectations from start to finish. We initially assumed that choosing a flat-fee brokerage would mean compromising on service. We couldn't have been more wrong. Their level of professionalism, organization, and attention to detail was better than many traditional real estate agents we've worked with or heard about. The entire team was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout the process. They had a clear system in place, kept us updated at every stage, and always responded quickly whenever we had questions. Everything felt organized and efficient, which made what is usually a stressful process much easier to navigate. Vikrant was especially valuable during the offer and negotiation stage. He took the time to walk us through different strategies, connected us with great lenders, and stayed in close contact with the listing agent to keep things moving. We always felt like he was looking out for our best interests and working hard to give us the strongest possible chance. What impressed us the most was that we never felt like just another transaction. Everyone on the team genuinely cared, and it showed in every interaction. If you're hesitant about using a flat-fee buyer's agent because you think you'll get less service, don't be. Our experience was the complete opposite. We received exceptional service, worked with an experienced and highly organized team, and saved a significant amount of money in the process. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Vikrant Goel and the Flat Fee Buyers team to anyone looking to buy a home.
