I would unequivocally recommend Maggie to anyone considering buying or selling a house - both of which we have done with her now! When buying, she helped break down the economics, timing, market, and helped us quickly find a home to fit our needs. We were first-time home buyers, and she made entering the daunting San Francisco market more approachable. When selling, we trusted Maggie all along the way with remodeling and finer touch finishes, and believe me, we got every penny of our investment back (and then some)! I had friends complimenting me on how beautiful the house looked and asking me who we used. We are so thrilled with Maggie. I will recommend her every time to anyone and everyone I know thinking about real estate in San Francisco. read more

We worked with Maggie as first-time homebuyers in San Francisco, and we commend her professionalism, patience and intuitive knowledge of the market. We purchased the property from the East Coast and she made the process smooth. We trusted to make a purchase sight unseen. Her maintaining communication with the seller's agent helped sweeten the deal! We are grateful to have been in touch with Maggie. Would recommend her completely! read more

Maggie went above and beyond during our home selling process. She's extremely reliable, professional and resourceful. We were selling in a tough market (Nob Hill), and had quite a few external issues during the sales process -- but Maggie was very communicative throughout and struck the right balance between making sure we were always informed but managing what she could independently. She's persistent and will get the job done no matter what obstacles are thrown her way! Would definitely work with her again!! read more

If you want a motivated and knowledgeable realtor, Maggie is all you could want and more. Right away after meeting she was eager to go out and look at houses with us, and within 3 weeks we were able to find our dream home. Maggie's pragmatic approach to the housing market was just what we needed as first time home buyers. We also appreciate her thorough knowledge of San Francisco and its various neighborhoods, as well as a great understanding of our desires for a home, and being able to concisely compare our needs with any home we viewed together. Her insight about expansion possibilities and her great taste in design and overall ideas were a huge plus. We both learned so much about buying property and about the city thanks to Maggie. If we are ever in the market to buy property again, Maggie would be our first choice! read more

She managed the entire prepping and process seamlessly! We went to market and sold within 1 week. Thanks Maggie :)

Maggie rules. She took the time to understand our needs, and patiently answered every question we had, always stopping to give us essential market context. When it was time to make an offer, she helped us move quickly, and asked questions that helped us determine the buying strategy that was right for us. Maggie was a total professional every step of the way, and she even stayed in touch after we closed to ensure that we were on top of a few important deadlines and benchmarks. We sincerely cannot recommend her enough! read more

Maggie was fantastic to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone, buyer or seller. As a buyer, she's genuinely looked out for our best interest, showing us countless homes and talking through the pros and cons of each. She has a really solid grasp of the market, helping us understand whether homes we toured were priced appropriately. When it came time to make an offer, she helped us review all the details and come up with a good price. And on top of it, she's very nice and fun to work with! read more

Maggie is incredible!!!!! Helped us navigate the SF real estate market as first time home buyers, and was a friend and ally in the process. Would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Always prompt and communicative, and always willing to help and listen to our concerns. Thanks so much Maggie! read more

One of the most rewarding and stressful events in our life revolves around selling or buying a home. Hiring the right realtor can make all the difference between a great or poor experience. We were very pleased and excited with Maggie's real estate experience history. Not only in real estate, but also her experience in working with other professionals related to selling/buying a home. Maggie Visser is that realtor who is knowledgeable in all phases of real estate. She has demonstrated her knowledge about marketing the house and how to emphasize the property's features so it will appeal to the buyers.. She is an exceptional negotiator. She managed the entire prepping and process seamlessly. She is able to navigate the complex and intricate language of real estate. She always takes the time to explain any questions or uncertainty we had. She kept me informed every step of the way. She would take our phone calls no matter what time we called to clarify a question or problem. She always looked after our best interest. She always made everything positive, never took a negative position. She is detail oriented. She does not make any decisions without first asking for our input! We highly recommend anyone who is selling or looking into buying a home to contact Maggie Visser. She is the best! read more

Maggie helped us purchase our first home. There were multiple times in which Maggie could've asked us to overbid or give into seller demands to close faster, but she always worked to get us the best deal possible. She's professional, smart, and has a high degree of integrity; I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy. read more

I'm writing this in my new house with a big smile on my face. We are SO grateful to Maggie for helping us navigate San Francisco's treacherous real estate sector. Throughout our search, she showed herself to be knowledgeable, resourceful, accommodating, communicative -- and fun! I felt comfortable asking her any and all silly questions; she was a real ally. We also appreciated her forthright nature. While touring one home we really liked, for instance, we asked her what she thought its drawbacks were. Without missing a beat, she began to flick off the light switches -- she wanted us to realize it had little natural light. Maggie also had our best interests at heart. When making an offer on a house we were desperate not to see slip away, she actually talked us out of making a steeper offer, and, in the end, our slightly-lower offer was enough! Since we've moved in, she has popped over to visit and has been very responsive by text. We'd readily work with Maggie again. She helped us land such a great home, though, that we hope we won't need to for a while! read more

I recently sold my SF home of 22 years with Maggie. It was one of the most stress-free, painless sales experiences I've had. She was extremely patient as a variety of circumstances required me to postpone (numerous times) listing my home for sale. She was a great source of competent, experienced sub-contractors to help me get the home in tiptop shape. As I had already moved out of town during the sales process she handled everything top to bottom (painting, inspections, staging, electrical, cleaning). I had complete confidence in her, leaving all decisions in her hands. Her hard work got the home to sell within 9 days for significantly over asking. I couldn't be any happier with our working relationship, her professionalism, and the outcome. read more

As first time home buyers, we were very fortunate to get to work with Maggie. She helped explain everything that happened along the process, and gave us a lot of guidance on each step of the way. One thing in particular is that she was always looking out for us, and wanted to make sure that we were buying the right place for the right price, and not just buying something as soon as possible for as much as possible. We would highly recommend Maggie to anyone looking to buy or sell a place in SF! read more

Maggie is everything you want in a RE agent. We worked with her as a buyer's agent and her expertise was invaluable. We honestly couldn't have done it without her. She is detailed, has an expansive understanding of the 'micro' neighborhoods of the city, and a very skillful eye. But for us, the most important skills were patience and listening. We weren't clear or articulate in our targets, and we stopped and started a couple of times, but each time we learned and refined. Maggie was always helping us, but never intrusive. She helped us prioritize, clarify and negotiate between my wife and I, the real important features of a new home. We just bought a beautiful place and couldn't be happier about how it works for us. We haven't bought in SF, so the process was foreign and somewhat intimidating in this market. She helped us understand decision making, valuation, and was an always accessible reference when we had questions or reservations. She understood the implications of reports, inspections and charters. We were clearly informed of each ownership situation for properties we asked for disclosures on. She is very experienced, but clearly understood our risk tolerance and guided us to key facts, be they positive or negative, to help us be in control of decisions. It was a soft touch for a big decision, and Maggie just ensured we were as informed as we could be. Just brilliant. Maggie always had our interests as her first priority. When we wanted to look in Marin, she introduced us to a great contact in Marin. When we figured we wanted to look back in the city, she jumped right on helping us. She is exceptionally good at what she does, but it is fantastic to work with someone whom you respect both professionally and personally. read more

We met Maggie Visser several years ago and were impressed by her friendly assistance, honesty, knowledge, and professionalism. When we decided to put our San Francisco condominium on the market, she advised us accurately about the state of the market, then guided us every step of the way, down to the very details. She was understanding of our unfamiliarity with some aspects of the process, which she explained with patience and clarity. Maggie kept us informed about the progress of the sale, and was always ready to help with even the most mundane matters. She negotiated wisely and skillfully with prospective buyers and made sure we obtained the best possible price for our unit. We warmly recommend her to prospective sellers and buyers alike. read more

Maggie is an excellent real estate agent and one gem of a person. As first time home buyers, we could not have a better person to work with than Maggie. Maggie listens to you patiently and fully understands your needs even before you do! She helped us navigate through the treacherous SF real estate market so professionally that we did not have to worry about anything. Maggie will give you her full attention and valuable advice all the time. I also really appreciate Maggie's honesty and integrity. We were willing to offer a higher amount on a couple of properties but Maggie advised against it and explained to us why that was not the right thing to do. A lot of agents are in the market just to make more money but not Maggie - she is with you to build a relationship based on trust and honesty. She is very resourceful as well and you would not have to worry about anything, be it search for lenders, talking to contractors, looking for ideas to re-design the house or literally anything at all, if you are working with her. She guided us in every way possible and kept us informed throughout the process. She works around your schedule and is always available to listen to you. I cannot recommend her enough. We would not have been able to buy our house without her so I am really grateful to have Maggie as our agent. read more

Maggie Visser is the consummate professional whose knowledge, tact and work ethic produces stellar results. Maggie brought her market experience and understanding of the nuances of San Francisco real estate to each and every property she viewed on our behalf. Throughout the homebuying process, Maggie understood our desire to take our time in order to find a specific property that satisfied the myriad of items we identified for her as "must-haves." Maggie not only brought to us properties that included all of those "must-haves," but also assisted us in thoroughly evaluating each property by, among other things, issue-spotting items that we would have not otherwise considered, including local code issues, upcoming ballot considerations and soil / foundation matters. Maggie poured through hundreds of pages of disclosures with us and we could not have uncovered the overlooked gem that we ultimately ended up purchasing without her insight and guidance. We are so elated to have selected Maggie for our latest project and will be seeking her assistance on our next transaction as well. read more

Maggie helped me with my recent home purchase in SF. As this is not the first time I work with a realtor, I needed someone who is (1) knowledgeable about the areas I'm interested in, (2) detailed oriented at looking at the good and the bad about the places I'm checking out (and making sure that I am aware of them), (3) responsive to my emails/calls, (4) well connected in the real estate market for information needed and potential good properties that would get snatched off before even going on the MLS, and (5) not pressuring me to make a purchase when I'm unsure about a place. I closed on my new condo just a week ago. I enjoyed very much working with Maggie and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to find a home in SF. Oh, one more thing, Maggie is fierce at negotiation. I was very happy that she was on my side of the table :) read more

Working with Maggie was exceptional! She was very responsive and made sure I got all my questions answered since this was the first time for me. Her Network is great and everyone who she works with is operating on a very high standard. Very lucky to have been introduced to Maggie! read more

Maggie Visser is an amazing real estate agent, she was there for us through every step of the buying process. She is a great listener and understood our needs and was always responsive. We never felt pressured into buying a home and she always had our best interest in mind. As first-time home buyers we appreciated her guidance and advice, she made it possible for us to purchase a home within a few months of working together. We enjoyed our time working with Maggie and would highly recommend her! read more

Maggie was instrumental in helping us buy our first home in San Francisco. We first met Maggie when we were in the 'just looking' stage and trying to figure out what we most wanted out of a home. We saw several properties together and appreciated Maggie's honest and straightforward approach. Maggie didn't push or sway us in any direction and she was quick to respond to our questions as we figured things out. When we became more serious about our search and found a condo that we really liked, Maggie walked through it with us room by room, detail by detail, to talk about the pros, cons and possibilities. She guided us through the process of making our first offer and gave us sound advice to make it a one and done experience (although I don't think any of us were counting on that outcome)! We are so grateful and are so happy in our new home! Thank you Maggie! read more

My wife and I started searching for a home in late 2020 when there was low inventory and a lot of uncertainty due to the pandemic. Luckily we crossed paths with Maggie, who we feel is one of the best agents in the industry. Maggie always went the extra mile for us no matter what the challenges were. She helped us tackle every situation head on even when we were hundreds of miles away from San Francisco. She'd go to showings early in the morning on our behalf and made sure to send us detailed videos and pictures, which was extremely helpful while we were living in a different city. She has excellent communication skills and made us feel genuinely cared for. She knows the city in and out and was able to describe the pros and cons of every neighborhood and made sure we knew what to expect. Above everything, Maggie was a consummate professional and we were always confident we had the right representation in every negotiation. She was extremely patient with us as we searched for months before closing on our home. We would absolutely recommend Maggie to any family member or friend who's in the market to buy or sell a home. read more

When I first met Maggie through a church group, I knew that I had to work with her if I ever sold my condo or needed another place to buy in the city. Months later, I found myself in a position needing to sell my SF condo. COVID lockdowns had already started and everyone was fleeing SF leaving real estate prices for condos less than desired for a Seller. I asked Maggie to help me, especially because I had already moved out of state by that point, and needed someone I could trust and to get the job done. Maggie took on my condo with open arms and helped with all the logistics of the sale since I could not be there in person. She communicated clearly every step of the way and partnered with me through every stage of the process. To my pleasant surprise, I had many showings and multiple offers within a week of posting which felt unheard of due to COVID. Maggie is an excellent communicator, strategic, and organized. I can't thank Maggie enough for helping me sell my place. My only regret is that I didn't meet her sooner as she's also an awesome individual and wish we had more time together in SF. She is your person if you are looking to buy or sell in SF! read more

Maggie is a pleasure to work with, very responsive and extremely knowledgeable about the market. She made the buying process easy and stress free, viewed properties on our behalf when we were not available, was super accommodating and understood our needs and goals from day 1. Can't recommend her enough. read more

Maggie helped us buy our first home in SF. It was incredibly competitive market and we are very picky :), but Maggie took time to understand all our needs and worked on our schedule to help us understand risks, advantages and long term trade offs. Her timely and detailed response (which is very critical in a sellers market) was one of the reason we got this house! I highly recommend her! read more

Maggie did a great job from start to finish. We have lived in our home a long time and didn't know where to begin in getting it ready for sale. Maggie helped us decide how to get the best bang for our buck in prep and staging, and importantly oversaw the whole process. Her communication was great and she personally handled all the open houses and tours so we knew exactly what was going on with potential buyers, a huge help when it came time to negotiate the sale. We highly recommend Maggie! read more

We just sold our house in Golden Gate Heights. Maggie was our agent. She is fantastic. She explained the whole process, guided us through it, hired professionals to get the house ready (staging, etc...). She was very knowledgeable about the market and worked with us very closely when defining the asking price and the strategy. She kept us informed for every step of the way, in particular when we entered the closing phase. She also did an amazing job in featuring the house. The pics of the house were great and the description was perfect. Finally after the closing she provided all documents in one block for our records. Maggie is a great agent, we highly recommend her. read more

We had a home to sell in San Francisco that had been in the family for over 80 years. This was not an ordinary transaction. We had multiple relatives involved and invested in the process. My family asked me to find the right agent to list the property. I interviewed numerous agents and narrowed the list down to three. Even amongst the three candidates, Maggie stood out as the top person for the job. I then sent the final three candidates a questionnaire with detailed questions about how they would handle the transaction, what unique services they brought to the table, etc. Maggie not only responded the fastest but her responses were the most complete and honest of the group. She provided numerous documents and data to support her responses. Additionally, from the questions Maggie was able to discern some of the concerns we had and addressed them all. I recommended to my family that we retain Maggie and all agreed. Maggie immediately got to work. The home was tired and in need of a lot of work before going on the market. She took charge and brought in electricians, plumbers, painters, landscapers and others. They got the work done in record time. And the work was done extremely well, not slap-it-together-and-paint-it work you see in some homes on the market. The results were stunning. What about the transaction? The home went on the market and within four days we had multiple offers. The home sold for significantly above the listed price and well above any amount we thought possible. Maggie and her team made the entire process seamless and easy. I have no hesitation recommending Maggie for any San Francisco real estate transaction. read more

Folks you need Maggie on your side when hunting for a house in SF. She's been more a friend than an agent. She gets your requirements better than you would perhaps know yourself. She's that good. Never one to sugar coat the offer you need to put to win a bid , she makes the pain of hunting for a house in SF so much more realistic and bearable. Never once pressed us, she was a godsend for first time buyers like us. Patient and super super responsive all the times she knows SF and it's quirks like the back of her hand. She will help you navigate the lesser known pitfalls that other agents might just gloss over. Negotiates for you like a devil. And after all the grind you'll be glad Maggie was on your side and not on the other side of the table. read more

Maggie has been an invaluable asset to our family. Not only did she help us buy a home, she helped us sell it. Both experiences were stress-free and seamless. Most importantly we trust Maggie. We value her honesty and hard work. She has a deep understanding of the San Francisco market. We were traveling when our property was getting prepped to be on the market - a process Maggie oversaw and managed brilliantly in our absence. She marketed the house and knew what unqiue features to highlight. She negotiated on our behalf, and always kept us informed every step of the way. All our friends now work with Maggie after hearing how great she is. We really can't recommend her enough! read more

Maggie is an absolutely wonderful Realtor and Real Estate professional. I've completed two transactions with her (a purchase and a sale) and referred her to several friends and colleagues. Her market knowledge is unparalleled as are her negotiation skills and she's incredibly straightforward and honest. In the past I've had realtors tell me my home was worth more than it actually was to get a listing or suggest that I overpay to get an offer accepted in a "hot" market. Maggie on the other hand is incredibly ethical and will give honest straightforward advice and then work harder than anyone else to get you the best deal. We had to list our home during Covid and had several other complicating factors.  Our home was part of a condo conversion- which required exceptional collaboration skills.  We were living in a different state and I was pregnant - and she kept me informed every step of the way.  Maggie took care of everything and earned our trust on every level. In the end, we had three offers above asking and one offer significantly above list! Our house closed before baby arrived. We couldn't be happier with Maggie's professionalism and friendship during that chaotic time! read more

Maggie is an incredibly knowledgeable, patient, savvy real estate professional who understands all the nuances of the hyper-competitive San Francisco market. Throughout our home buying journey Maggie provided excellent guidance on the market, extremely quick service, and helped us navigate the bidding process. After we went into contract on our new home Maggie was on top of every detail of the very quick closing period. In addition to being an excellent realtor, Maggie is a great person. She took the time to get to know us, understand our needs, and guide us all the way through the process. I recommend Maggie highly! read more

Maggie helped us purchase our first home in San Francisco in late 2021. She was fantastic in guiding us through the process. She is a great combination of telling you what you need to watch out for, while also being patient for you to find what you are really looking for. We were thrilled to pretty quickly find an amazing house in one of the most competitive markets in the country. We would work with her again in a heart beat and would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

We met Maggie after she helped our friends sell their house - and she came highly recommended when we started looking for our first home to buy in San Francisco. The city can be a tough place to navigate as a first-time buyer and Maggie was the perfect person to help us through it. She was patient when we wanted to take long breaks (months sometimes!) and right there when we needed her and wanted to pick things back up. I honestly don't know how she does it - she seems to always be present and helpful, even though I know her client list is long. Other than her patience and genuine sense of care for people, we really appreciated her attention to detail on things that are really important like structural details in the home. We are now SF homeowners and we have huge thanks to give to Maggie for it! read more

Maggie was fantastic - she adapted quickly to our work style and needs, walked us through the entire process of buying (which was new and daunting to us), had so much patience with us as we navigated all the feelings linked to a first buy, and is generally a delight to work with. Maggie is also ultra responsive and on top of things and continues to prove herself to be a valuable resource to us providing guidance and recommendations. We highly highly recommend. read more

Maggie is one of those in any function/profession who, when you work with them, open your eyes as to how that function was meant to be performed. She's your companion and guide in the process of looking for a home. This being a process that could take weeks or months, and the Bay Area market being how it is, it is important that you have a good real-estate agent. Maggie helps you greatly through multiple aspects of the process, including the detail-oriented steps such as inspection-reports and price-comparisons. (If you haven't tried to buy a home ever or in several years, there may be things about the process that you do not even realize.) She is knowledgeable, thorough, approachable, and savvy with today's tools and in modern ways of communicating. You should see at least a few homes with her -- it is a revelation to see how she goes about it and what she notices. With all that, Maggie lets _you_ make the decision and get the home _you_ like. She can also suggest reliable people for work that you may need done before or after move-in. (This is a service in itself.) And she is not one to lose touch with you after the move-in, and you feel like you could always ask her, if a question arises. read more

There are not enough stars to rate Maggie, I wish that I could give her more than 5/5. I met with Maggie shortly after I inherited my childhood home, we initially sat for awhile and she spoke and listened well, I gave her my listing that same day. I am not familiar with buying and selling homes, I have only done a few in my lifetime. I had many questions and Maggie was always quick to get me an answer. My old family home needed many improvements, Maggie thoroughly explained her suggested improvements and always listened when I had concerns. We did lots of upgrades and improvements and I didn't lift a finger! I had anticipated making numerous trips to the old house to "do stuff" but that was not necessary due to Maggie taking care of everything. One day she said something that amazed me, she said "you don't ever have to come back here again unless you want to, I will take care of everything", and she did. I really like communication, and Maggie delivered like the true professional that she is, if she didn't answer a call or text immediately she always got back to me very quickly. If I ever needed to do another real estate transaction in SF I would not hesitate to call Maggie. I highly recommend her services. read more

I connected with Maggie through college friends who purchased their first home in San Francisco with her, and she helped me purchase my first home too! She was upfront and clear from start to finish, organized, shepherded me through every step, fueled and answered all my questions (at random times, about random things). Never felt like she was pressuring me into something I was not comfortable with or interested in, was honest about properties we viewed together. For all those stories you hear about buyer's remorse, I can't say that I've felt that since moving into my first home. Credit Maggie with those positive vibes. Plus she's my hook-up for everything else that comes after purchasing a home -- i.e., painters, contractors, people to contact for home improvements. read more

Maggie is extremely responsive over email and text. She also very knowledgeable about the buying process which was useful for me as a first time buyer. I will work with her again if I ever need to buy property in SF. Also - she is great for people who need to do some work remotely such as signing documents etc. read more

My husband and I worked with Maggie on the purchase of our home in The Mission. We were moving from Massachusetts therefore, unfamiliar with the ins and outs of the SF real estate market. Maggie was very knowledgeable and helped us win while competing against all cash offers. Her timing, responsiveness and negotiation skills were impeccable. Maggie is very professional, has extensive local knowledge of the neighborhoods, is networked with other realtors (very important), easy to work with and all around a great realtor. We highly recommend her! read more
