He took great pleasure in opening my closets and medical cabinets several times. When I asked him what he was doing he told me "I think you understand I need to look at everything" with an attitude. When we went upstairs to my parents flat I explained that he needed to have respect for the unit and I would not accept any more of opening cabinets. When he was done he just wanted to be paid. He was able to provide the report we needed to help start our estate process but I would suggest Tim at SFBAY-RE if you need an appraisal.

It's hard to describe how good of an experience it was to work with Kevin and Jonathan--they've…read morecompletely changed our opinion of how great real estate can be. We were nervous first-time home buyers, and had seen a condo we liked that was just listed, but didn't know any realtors. We cold emailed Kevin and Jonathan on Thursday night, had a video call later that night, read through the disclosures and worked out an offer plan that weekend, and by Monday morning our offer had been accepted. The speed they work at is insane! And yet at no point did we feel rushed into any decisions, because they are so thoughtful about laying out exactly what to watch out for, and what the upcoming steps will be. Not only that, but once we had the place they gave us a huge amount of information on doing renovations, and a big list of local contractors they recommend for each specific type of job. Kevin even drove us to his favorite lighting showroom, and introduced us to wood floor refinishers who were able to start that week. We're incredibly happy we found Kevin and Jonathan, and will be recommending them to all of our friends. Anyone looking to buy or sell in San Francisco would be lucky to work with them!

I chose Tim & SFBAY-RE from a list of others because he's a licensed certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser in the state of CA and has over 15 years of appraisal experience throughout the Bay Area, with a particular focus in San Francisco. He provided the appraisal in plenty of time to support the Sept '24 submission deadline. Two days before I was set to appear before the Appeals Board in May '25 the SF Assessor's Office contacted me and agreed with the assessed market value that Tim established in his appraisal. Based on the current FMV that Tim provided I will be receiving a substantial credit for tax year '24 and the new property tax will result in a considerable savings going forward. Tim was easy to work with and very responsive to my questions throughout the entire process. I was particularly thankful for the guidance he provided in preparing for the Appeals Board meeting. The cost for the appraisal was both competitive and fair and well worth it. I highly recommend Tim & SFBAY-RE if you are in need of an appraisal for a property tax appeal.

They go above and beyond to ensure their properties are well maintained and that tenants are taken care of. Thank you Ellen, JC, Sam, and the rest of the Hogan and Vest team!

He hit me, threw me into a concrete wall, put his hands all over my body ripping at my skin, and chased me up a flight of stairs... I was bleeding from multiple areas. This is a premeditated assault.

We utilized the services of Team Sierra Fong and Shallon Santiago with Sequoia Reality shortly after the new year of 2021. We had been renters our entire lives and never considered purchasing a home until our landlord of two and a half years notified us of her intent to sell her home. With the market being as competitive as it is, both for home buying and renting, we decided to look for at our options for owning. Renting a home and constantly having feeling of uncertainty that our lives could uprooted by a owner wanting/needing to sell is one we hope to never experience again. To our rescue came Sierra and Shallon. With their experience, expertise, and knowledge, they held our hands throughout the entire experience of home buying. After expressing our desire to purchase and the shortened timeline with which we had to work with, they quickly got to work. First they connected us with a lending agent, American Pacific Mortgage. They were able to waive the loan contingency and waive appraisal contingencies, making our submitted offers more attractive to the sellers. Their team was able to allow us to close on our home in 24 days!!! Second, Shallon and Sierra was able to hit the ground running showing us, on average, three homes a week for two months. After being outbid on multiple listings, they found us a home which fit our needs. Three bedrooms, large backyard for our two children and dog, updated kitchen and bathroom. Most importantly in the same neighborhood in which we rented previously! We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and we owe it to Sierra and Shallon for making our dreams come true.

Kalok Law is the real deal y'all. And I really don't think I'll ever stop raving about her…read more Last year, I went into the Balboa office for my initial homebuyer meeting. The office is modern and well kept. We reviewed the home buying process and she catered it towards me, a first time home buyer. I have some background knowledge on the process but it was a good refresher. I got some detailed information to bring home for my husband as well. We started off the process pretty quickly. She asked me what I was looking for, if I was preapproved, etc. I gave her a list of needs/wants and we got straight to it. By mid week, we were at our first showing. She drove out to the east bay multiple times a week if needed to go with us to open houses/scheduled showings. I could tell she was driven in helping us find the right home. Long story short, we closed 2 months after our initial meeting. I was out of the country during the close and she still made it happen. I trusted her and her process. We took her advice and it really paid off. Her experience, attention to detail, determination, and true kindness has still left us in awe over one year later. She's reached out to check in on us and has extended contacts for any work (from gardeners to concrete contractors) we've needed to have done since the purchase. I really can't recommend anyone better. If we buy another or sell, we know who we're calling first. Pro-tip: Not limiting her to this, but first time homebuyer? Kalok is the gal for you.
