We started looking for a house in late February and early March. Even before we started looking, we…read moremet up with Fabiane at her office and went through what our criteria was for a house. She was attentive to our needs and asked pertinent questions to figure out our preferences. Our house buying process began just a few days prior to shelter-in-place and we fell in love with the first house we saw. In March, the interest rates were fluctuating quite drastically on a day-to-day basis and Fabiane advised us correctly on how to proceed with making an offer. We didn't get the house, but her advice was sound and helped us make an informed decision without putting us in a financial hole. The shelter-in-place was a frustrating time for the house buying process and as soon as we were legally allowed to get a tour of a house, Fabiane was on point and scheduled the viewing promptly. She had come to know of our needs so well that when a new house showed up on Zillow, we thought "that's a house we should check out", and Fabiane would have sent the same listing to us saying "I think this is a house you'll like!" There were instances where she could have advised us to go ahead with a purchase of a house which we liked but weren't completely sure, and instead of pushing us to go ahead with the purchase, she advised us correctly to wait for the right house. She was thoroughly professional with the scheduling, provided contacts for the loan process, used her connections to put the right amount of pressure on the bankers to meet an aggressive closing time to match cash offers, followed up consistently with the sellers agents to provide us updates, and she worked with our timeframe without putting undue pressure to make a decision. We would highly recommend Fabaine as your agent if you are in the market to purchase a home.

I just bought a house in Burlingame. Fabiane was my agent represented me as a buyer. Prior to…read morepurchasing the house, she listened to what I was looking for, selected the properties based on those criteria, and made herself available during the week and weekdays to give me a tour of the properties. She was always prompt in responding to emails and phone calls even very late in the evening. She is a great listener, and a great negotiator and watches out for the client's best interest. She did not stop her support after the purchase was completed. She continued providing stellar service until I was able to rent the property. She is absolutely amazing and I will reach out to her again with the next purchase or sale of the property.

Amadee isn't just an amazing realtor, she's an amazing long-term partner. As first-time home…read morebuyers, we started out barely understanding the process, and from that very first step she was supportive and provided us with lots of helpful guidance and care. Her support went beyond the closing--she's still someone we go to for home-related questions today. Amadee earned our complete trust, and we can't recommend her enough to anyone, especially first-time buyers looking for someone who truly has their back.

I feel so lucky that we found Amadee and Martin during our search for a home in the Bay Area. Today…read morewe have our dream home and it really would not have been possible without their help. We had been looking for close to 10 months when I met Amadee by chance. She diligently followed up with me after our conversation and 3 months later, we closed on an incredible home. We beat 21 other offers -- and after a year of search, it was actually the first home we offered on! Amadee and Martin educated us about the areas where we were looking (San Mateo, San Bruno), personally took us on house and neighborhood tours, helped us find a loan officer who was fantastic to work with and got us the loan we needed, prepared us for every step in the process, and always made themselves available for questions. While we were looking, they guided us away from homes in flood zones or in areas that aren't going to appreciate well, but also showed us homes that we ourselves may have overlooked. Most importantly, they fought for us during the offer process. We heard a lot of advice from others who bought in the area that you have to be prepared to have your heart broken, that you'll likely not get that one home you bid on first. Somehow that never happened to us, and I think it's because we had Amadee and Martin on our side. The house we bought was listed much too low and on their advice we came in with an offer that helped us survive the first round of bidding. From there, they worked hard for us with the seller's agent to help us secure a winning bid on the home. Twenty one days later we had the keys to our amazing dream house! Even after the contract was signed, they were so generous with their time and expertise, checking the property for any damage after staging furniture was removed, getting the seller to fix a few things, helping us find a mover, giving us recommendations for how to take care of certain aspects of the property, and giving us contacts for trustworthy small businesses. It's so hard out there to get a nice home without feeling like you were taken advantage of. I really feel like we dodged a bullet by finding someone so trustworthy and meticulous. Could not recommend them more highly.

I hardly ever write reviews, but had to for Nicole. To say that she went above and beyond to…read moresecure us our dream home is a complete understatement. For context, we are first-time buyers and completely new to the insanity that is the Bay Area real estate market. It's incredibly important, especially if you're a first-time buyer in the Bay, to partner with a seasoned agent who is dedicated, communicative, transparent, and willing to go above and beyond. Nicole is all of this - and more. Over the course of 6 months, Nicole toured dozens of homes with us throughout the Bay. We never felt pushed or pressured into making an offer. Additionally, we were those clients who would change their mind last minute about placing an offer, and she was always supportive and validating - it was so clear she wanted us to find THE perfect home just as much as we did. When we finally found our dream single-family home in Berkeley, and placed an offer, Nicole's expertise and experience truly shined: she helped us craft an unbeatable offer, utilizing all of her tips and tricks as a seasoned agent. Our offer came out on top amongst multiple offers, without even having to go over our budget. This was all during the height of the COVID real estate boom, when it was seemingly impossible to get and offer accepted. Between offer-accept and close, there were a number of last-minute emergencies, namely due to miscommunications with the lender. Nicole went above and beyond by proactively advocating for us, taking the lead, and putting out these fires. I firmly believe we would have fell out of contract had it not been for Nicole's leadership and expertise here. Experience and expertise aside, Nicole is a warm and kind partner. She truly cares for her clients, and genuinely wants them to find their dream home. This kind of authenticity can be rare, and we were beyond lucky to have had her by our side this past year! Thank you Nicole!

They were kind, thorough, strategic, and just genuinely fun people to go on this journey with! I would also say, there are a lot of perks to getting a duo in terms of availability. They were beyond willing to see properties with us outside of our primary neighborhood that we initially told them we were looking in. It was more important to them that we found the RIGHT house. Nicole & Lenny also helped us navigate any complex home buying processes. Their willingness to walk line by line on contractual documents many times over was instrumental in helping us become more confident and crafting the most competitive offer as a team. In the end, we were able to have our offer accepted on a very competitive house due to their strategic prowess. They also put in a lot of work into orchestrating inspections and getting estimates for any repairs required. Their connections to local experts in the trades were second to none. Nicole & Lenny were strong negotiators and were really adept at balancing the buyer's needs while ensuring the transaction itself went smoothly. This is not always an easy balance to strike. They made the whole process fun and exciting, even during the stressful moments. We highly recommend them, especially for first-time home buyers. We're incredibly grateful for all their hard work and couldn't imagine working with a better team!

She was supportive and pointed out specific problems and explained potential points of concern; at no point did we feel any pressure to make an offer on a home that wasn't perfect. She was always available when we would send her messages, more than once we toured potential homes less than a day from when we first saw the listing. In such a competitive market as San Francisco this kind of availability was crucial. She kept in constant communication with the selling agent and provided critical advice on improving our offer. Without her help we would not be currently living in our dream house. We'll gladly work with Suzy again and would recommend her to anyone looking for an awesome agent!

First time home buyers - Suzy's the right person for you!…read more Buying a home in San Francisco can be nerve racking. Suzy was great at assessing how much we knew about the city, where to buy and when to buy. Once she knew our level of understanding, she was patient to help us gather all the information we needed to make a decision. She is extremely well connected with other top agents in the city, and that is the only reason we found the place we loved and were able to make a quick decision and seal the deal. Suzy helped us through the entire process, right from finding the right financial instruments, through bidding, documentation, disclosures and closing. All through the process she always had the right level of involvement - not too intrusive and not too aloof. And it felt very personal. I would say I trusted her instincts to find us the right place, more than my own. I would highly recommend her, and I would definitely go back to her again!
