If you need a real estate agent, you won't find a better agent than Mike Yrazabal. He knows the Bay Area (particularly the city) as a local who grew up here. This first hand knowledge can not be learned; he's lived the history of this awesome city. I've worked with several agents through a few purchases and by far Mike was not only most knowledgeable, but also honest, insightful, attentive, and hard working. We purchased a house that needed a lot of TLC and he was able to provide us with helpful information regarding construction, permits, and history of the area (other house hunters where eavesdropping on our convo). I don't write reviews much but felt compelled to do so for Mike because he really is a great agent and an all around human. read more

I can't recommend Mike highly enough. He is professional, experienced, detail, oriented, knowledgeable, and patient. Mike represented us as the sellers of a property in San Francisco. From my very first contact with Mike, he provided me with market information to determine the current market conditions. He continually updated me with information, even though we weren't yet ready to put the property on the market. His proposal and recommendations for marketing our property were thorough and well researched. Mike recommended quality inspectors for our property. He reviewed the numerous documents that were required by line. He answered all of our questions about the documents, and their requirements. He was very patient throughout this process. Mike was always available to meet us at the property or to discuss any questions on the phone. He also met with vendors at the property when we were not available. He reviewed the offers we received, and we closed on a timely basis. I highly recommend Mike read more

Selling my longtime family home was difficult, but Mike made it easy. He knew what was needed to freshen up the house snd knew all the right people to help.

Mike Yrazabal is not only one of the most knowledgeable and well connected Agents because of how long his father and him have been in the business, but as an individual he is a truly kind, smart, caring and takes consideration to every detail.

He was there for us from setting up inspections, to making sure we had multiple quotes on handling any issues to maximize the value of our house, making sue ALL the paperwork was in order, helped us have expert knowledge on the current housing market and even checking in on any "current" issues with insurance companies... and MORE.

Thank you VERY MUCH for making a difficult process become the BEST result and seem REALLY EASY. read more

I worked with Mike during the purchase of my first home in San Francisco and had a great experience. We met when he showed me a property he was the listing agent for--I found him easy to talk to, no pressure. He made it clear that he is willing to work with clients to ensure they get what they're looking for, no matter how long that takes, which was refreshing. As it turned out, I loved the very next property he showed me, and Mike sprang into action. He took the time to patiently and diligently educate me about the process (and the paperwork!), yet moved quickly to engage with the listing agent, assess the situation, and formulate a great strategy for the presentation of my offer in a competitive situation--and I got the property! Throughout the escrow and lending process Mike was with me every step of the way, ensuring I understood the ins and outs and that I met all of my obligations, and guiding me in my decision making. It's clear Mike takes his obligations to his clients seriously and I was always confident that he had my best interests at heart. As a SF native Mike has a lot of expertise about the City in general and San Francisco real estate in particular--which was extremely valuable. I recommend Mike enthusiastically! read more

Mike was so helpful and so knowledgeable as bought my first place in San Francisco after living out of state for decades. I barely knew what a TIC was, but I was in great hands with Mike.

Extremely competent. Communicative. Honest. Goes above & beyond. I can't say enough good things about Mike. He helped me buy my first home in San Francisco and the entire process was well communicated and smooth. He took time to get to know me and understand what I wanted in a home. In doing so, he asked a lot of questions and modeled a safe environment for me to ask all of my questions. As a first-time home buyer, he was very thorough to make sure I understood every step of the process. I deeply appreciate his honesty in assessing locations, making offers, and helping me understand the market. He was straightforward with good news and bad and always had multiple solutions and approaches for any decision point. He was never pushy, always kept my best interests at heart, and I never once felt like he was just trying to make a sale. In addition to his impeccable communication, Mike is proactive with excellent follow through. He moves incredibly quickly on any requests. Once we decided to make an offer, Mike made sure there were no hiccups in the process to ensure I got the house I wanted. He also has an extensive network in San Francisco that I definitely tapped into. I asked other people for recommendations for contractors and similar services, but Mike's recommendations always ended up being the highest quality & best choice. If I ever buy or sell a property, I will absolutely use Mike again. I encourage you to as well: he's amazing. read more

I would recommend Mike to anyone looking for a real estate agent in the Bay area. I am especially appreciative of his extensive market knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile to make sure I ended up in the perfect home. When I first started looking Mike arrange several all day 'excursions' around the city and simply yet thoroughly explained the buying process, what to look for in a home and the intricacies of the SF market. Though these and the many subsequent open houses and conversation we had I went from full of self-doubt and apprehension to a confident home buyer. It is extremely clear that Mike is invested in his clients' wellbeing and long term success. At no point during the year plus time we worked together did I ever feel the relationship was transactional or that I was not a priority for him. This is even though I am at the low end of the SF market and had to pause my search twice. From start to finish, I could always count on Mike to keep me informed and tell me the hard truths about a property or an idea when needed. He is able to do this without ever being overbearing or mading me feel overwelled. There were several times when I begin talking myself into a house that truly was not right me. Mike seemed to sense something was off and helped me understand what I was ignoring or weighting too heavily when thinking about a property. Conversations like these helped solidify my priorities and without Mike it would have been a much rockier process. Mike is honest, knowledgeable and calming yet energizing about getting you into your dream home. It is hard to find a perfect home but it is a whole lot easier with an agent like Mike. read more

We just sold our second SF house with Mike. Again, we had an excellent experience! Mike is knowledgeable, efficient, considerate and responsive. He is well connected in the Bay Area and quick with resources. We wholeheartedly recommend Mike for any real estate needs! read more

Mike helped us through the process of selling our house. He delivered a very nice product and ensured that all the hard work we had put into our home of 8 years was accentuated by 1000%. He was always willing to answer questions and walk us through anything with which we lacked experience - meaning everything, as we'd never sold a house before. It was a great experience, and we were very happy with the outcome. read more

Mike is an amazing realtor. I had several locations all over the Bay Area where I was looking. Mike was extremely supportive every step of the long process, until I was finally able to find something I fell in love with. He was extremely thorough and expedient with all the paperwork, as well as with communication about it. Even though the area I ended up buying in was outside of his normal area, his diligence put him on par with any agent I could find there. read more

Mike is such an awesome agent to work with! We used him for the purchase of our home in San Francisco (and will continue for any future selling/buying). In our case, we narrowed our search down and he worked his magic to close an amazing deal. The selling agents were a bit unresponsive in the beginning and Mike persisted without being off putting. He was just the right amount of aggressive with our offer and during negotiations completely had our best interest in mind, defending our price all the way. When we needed it, he refreshed us on the buying process terms/procedures. He has such a positive can-do attitude and is always quick to respond to us. Basically, Mike pulled off what we thought would never happen in San Francisco, and we undoubtedly made the right choice in working with him! read more

Mike helped us buy a new house, sell our old house, and handle all the associated logistics. He was very patient throughout the whole process, never let us feel pressured, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was painless.

I just purchased my first house with Mike's help and it's been such a great experience. As a first home buyer, I did not know what to expect but Mike had helped me along the way to make this process as smooth as possible. He was very detailed oriented and shows genuine interest in assisting me to find my new home.

It was such a pleasure working with Mike. He is a fabulous agent! I would give him 10 stars if I could. In the midst of Covid, having relocated to Southern California, and unable to rent my condo I decided to sell. Another property in my nine unit building had recently sold for a very good price so I looked up the agent involved and found Mike Yrazabal. From day one Mike was my invaluable advisor. He explained what it would take to get top dollar. This included a remodel with new paint, flooring and a new kitchen. Not only did he oversee the project he also arranged financing to be paid through escrow. He enlisted stellar professionals to assure the property was viewed at its best. He was calm, patient, always letting me know the next steps while making a complicated situation seem much less so. With Mike's guidance, the condo sold for a great price without me having to return to San Francisco. Mike is hard working, a person you can trust to look out for your best interests and a genuinely nice person. read more

My wife and I were first time buyers when we met Mike. Needless to say we were very inexperienced with the process of buying a house and a bit nervous. Mike did a fantastic job of explaining how the process worked and getting an understanding of what we were looking for. He would compile a list for us on suggested places, always available to show us what we were interested in and very informative on what was unique about each place. Being able to trust your agent with your life savings is a huge and Mike worked very diligently to make sure we ended up in the house we wanted. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

San Francisco native recently transplanted to Chicago suburbs for family and work. Mike helped my wife and I sell our house in Pacifica in a timely and efficient manner, but got us the price we wanted and was incredibly professional through the whole process. Thorough and meticulous, walked us through all the paperwork and made the whole thing a pleasure. Only regret we had was we wished we had used him 5 years earlier to help us buy the house!! A no doubter, Mike is your man for any real estate venture! read more

Mike helped my husband and I buy our house in San Francisco. As first time home buyers, I was very happy to have Mike representing us and educating us on the process. Mike is very knowledgeable, patient, professional and quick to accommodate his clients' needs. A few things that made the process really seamless for us: 1) Knowledgeable. Mike sat us down before we made our first offer and went through, line by line, the application and disclosures, giving us a chance to ask questions and forcing us to understand all the in's and out's of buying a house. This was instrumental as we made subsequent offers and needed to quickly review the details of the offer and sign forms. He could also answer almost every question we had about a house and helped us focus on the things that made a house a good long term investment. 2) Calm. Especially in a very competitive and downright crazy real estate market in San Francisco, Mike stayed calm and focused while we rode the emotional ups and downs of making several offers and eventually buying a house. 3) Honest. Mike is an honest yet strategic agent. He knows how to play the game and leverage his resources but would never compromise his ethics and integrity as an agent. He would tell us if our offer was too high or low, and gave us ample information on offer details. 4) Good communicator. He took time to understand the way we communicate, set clear expectations and also knew when to give us space to make our own decisions. Great with follow up without being pesky. Important when our husband and I were working full time while house hunting. Mike hustled for us and worked hard to find the right fit for our first home. We are so happy with our purchase and Mike was a big part of the success. He definitely earned it! read more

My Fiance and I had the pleasure of working with Mike, and having him as our Real Estate Agent for our first home purchase! We had basically zero knowledge of home buying. We met with Mike for a consultation, after he was recommended to us by a friend. He spent a couple hours teaching us the ins & outs of buying a home (basic understanding, verbiage, what to look for when browsing homes, how to go about getting pre-approved, etc. etc.). Mike made us feel very comfortable, and wanted us to go through this process at our own pace. We ended up getting pre-approved a few months later, and then began home shopping with Mike. He made sure to ask a lot of questions as we toured homes, so he can get a better understanding of our tastes, concerns, wants/needs. He's a very genuine guy, who truly cares about your purchase being the right one. Over the following two months, we spent many weekends going to open houses. On a couple of the weekends, we saw 10 or 11 houses in a day, in San Francisco. Mike was extremely flexible to our schedule, and was ready to meet us on the weekdays after work, if we saw something we wanted to check out. As time passed, we began to look in Marin, as we wanted more space for our money. Mike had no problem showing us Marin, although it was new territory for him. Again, we saw many houses, and went back to some houses to see them again. Finally after only two months of looking, we put in an offer on house! Mike walked us through the 3+ hours of paperwork before submitting the offer. He made sure we knew exactly what we were signing. His calm demeanor and understanding of our stress are two of the qualities that separates Mike from the pack. Our first offer was accepted! We went into a 24 day escrow period, and I don't think we were quite ready for how quick everything moved at that point. But Mike was there to listen to us, even through all the expletives being thrown around by us (mostly me). At the end of the day, we ended up submitting a lower offer before our contingency period was up (due to some previously unknown issues), and after some negotiating, our final offer was accepted, and we closed escrow two weeks later. We have our keys in hand, and are completing our move this coming weekend. I would recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a genuine person, who cares about their clients and their needs. He's a stand up guy, and knows what he's doing. He's also just a fun guy, in general; so it's like touring houses with a friend. read more

He sold our house in San Francisco fast (11 days) and got us what we were looking for! He was ready to help every step of the way and had answers for all of our various questions. I couldn't recommend him more! read more

Mike is simply the best. When my fiancé and I first met with mike we were very early in the process. We had no idea where to begin or what steps to take. Mike was more than willing to meet us for coffee (even though he doesn't drink coffee ) and talk through Home buying A to Z. There was zero pressure for us to take any kind of step and it was apparent that he genuinely wanted to help us and give us sage advice. We left that meeting more informed and ready to start getting pre-approved. Mike connected us with a few brokers which made things easier and before you know it, we were pre-approved and looking at homes. Mike helped us sort through our wants vs. needs and prioritize -- it was a difficult exercise because, obviously, you want it all! He did a great job making sure he understood both of our preferences. We decided that space was a top priority and decided to start looking outside of SF. When we set our sights on Marin, although Mike wasn't as familiar with Marin, he gladly took us to see homes and got in touch with local brokers to get tips and info. When we were ready to make an offer, Mike's guidance was invaluable. He navigated us through making an offer with a contingency, and ultimately negotiating the price down based on findings in the home inspection. It was extremely exciting but also very stressful and a huge decision for us. Having Mike there with his calm demeanor and smile made it easier. He was always able to take the edge off the more scary parts of buying a home. We got the house for under asking and within the budget we felt comfortable with and we love it! We've been here almost a year (this Review is loooong overdue) and couldn't have done it without Mike! Thank you!! read more

Mike Yrazbal is an incredible realtor. His accommodating support and positive attitude helped my husband and me through the very long process of looking for and finally purchasing our first home in San Francisco. By long I mean over two years. Buying a home in San Francisco is a daunting experience. At times Mike was like our therapist. He counseled and guided us before and after the long process of completing the sale. Our budget was not the typical million dollar plus budget. We had to look for something under 700k. This is not an easy task in the growing and very pricey San Francisco market. At some points we thought we would never find a single family home within this price range. Mike took my husband and me to what feels like hundreds of properties. Most of these properties looked like they could suddenly fall down and turn into dust if you simply breathed incorrectly. We all got a huge kick out of a home we looked at that was literally being held up by a boulder from the foundation. Some agents might not be truthful and pretend we should get it. That's not Mike though. He demonstrated integrity and respect for his trade. Mike was knowledgeable and said eventually we will find something wonderful. He was genuine and hardworking with us and even though we might not have had the highest price range we were treated like gold star clients. Not only is Mike an amazing agent he is also our friend. So he could have said no on occasions he had other clients with more spending power but he never did. We always felt like a top priority. He went out of his way and above and beyond throughout the process. When we eventually found a home in our price range that wasn't in need of a complete tear down Mike lead us through the process each day until closing. He was responsive to text messages, emails, phone calls and was always willing to meet in person. He coordinated inspectors and worked with the tenants living in the home. Mike went and posted the 24 hour notices each and every time we needed access to the home since the sellers and their listing agent lived out of town. There is so much more that Mike did to help us deal through the process of buying a home. His patience, ease and full capacity is difficult to capture in one review but needles to say I highly recommend him. If you come across his services you have lucked out. read more

We had been in the market for a new place about a month when we met Mike during an open house he was hosting. At that point we had not yet decided on an agent to work with as most of the ones we had met thus far gave us too much of a "used car salesman" vibe. This was not the case with Mike; he was approachable and not pushy at all. After we talk about what we were looking for, he gave us his information and we parted ways. We decided to give him a chance and overall we were very pleased for the following reasons. - Tailored Communication methods: As a technologist by trade, I prefer everything electronic. Mike tailored his communication methods to meet my preferences (email, electronic signature, PDF copies not physical paper where possible). He even did advance recon on some properties by creating a video walkthrough and emailing it to us. This was great because it let us "see" the place first and determine if it was worth a physical visit. This saved us lots of time in traveling around to open houses - Level of attention: We did not want somebody to be in our face all the time but he or she needed to be there when we wanted/needed something. Mike was able to make us feel like he was there and available for us as we needed when we needed it without being overbearing or smothering us. - Personal Interest: We felt like Mike took a genuine personal interest in us as a couple and shared with us aspects of his life as well. Overall, he seemed to be truly interested in helping us and not treating us like a commission. This personal interest aspect helped make the typically stressful experience of home buying more bearable as it felt like he was supporting us throughout. - Speed of Response: When we decided to move on a property, we had to move fast due to competing offers. We officially start the offer process in the morning and the seller made a decision that evening. Mike's responsiveness to pulling everything together that was needed to make the most attractive offer possible we feel was instrumental in us closing the deal. Overall, we really appreciated everything Mike did for us throughout the experience and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for help is their real-estate needs. read more

Let me first start off by saying if your going to work with Mike you will be in great hands. He is very helpful and informative. He takes his time with you and is very responsive. Any questions i had via email or text were promptly responded too. What i appreciated most, was that he was able to work around my schedule as far as meetings go. If you are looking into selling or buying your home and need an honest, reliable and helpful person, then Mike is definitely your man! read more

Yesterday my home in San Francisco sold with the expert assistance of Mike Yrazabal. It was a tenant occupied home, so was a little more complicated than selling an owner occupied home. Mike made it smooth and quick and handled all the details in a very professional manner. He worked very hard behind the scenes with the buyer and title company to complete the sale with in a month, even though we live out of state. I would recommend him to anyone selling a home in the very complicated San Francisco housing market. Great job Mike! read more

When we decided to embark on the project of buying a house in the Bay Area, a dear friend of ours recommended Robert Yrazabal, who has been in the business in the Bay Area for almost 40 years. As we connected with Robert we ended up working closely with Mike. Mike is the perfect example of what one should look for in a real estate agent who is strategic, smart, kind and caring. He has a special skill of listening very closely to his clients, their perspective, and taking the data from their clients in shaping a house-hunting search that is efficient and productive. Mike also knows how to strike the right balance for his clients as he encourages them to be aspirational in figuring out what they need while at the same time helping them to shape the search in way that is within realistic parameters. Then there are factors of respect and trust. Mike earns the latter by putting a genuine emphasis on the first in how he interacts with his clients, and agents on the other side of transactions. He paid close attention to the micro-details related to our search. Anytime we emailed him with sets of questions, he immediately answer with detailed and pinpoint responses to even the most trivial of our queries. After we zeroed in on our search, we cannot say enough about how Mike worked with us through the process of putting together the best possible offer. We eventually settled on a wonderful house, and it was Mike, who coached us through the escrow process which we executed without any issues. We want to end with another note on respect. Right now the market activity in the Bay Area is historic, and there is clearly no shortage of buyers. So it is especially impressive when someone like Mike, who can potentially work with any client he wants, made us feel worth his time throughout the whole process. Mike is smart, passionate and knowledgeable. We are lucky to have worked with him! read more

Mike is an amazing real estate agent and I would give him 6 stars if I could!! He is honest, knowledgeable, available, helpful, and trustworthy. He helped me sell my house in San Francisco, and assisted me in purchasing a home in the East Bay. The sale of my house in San Francisco ended up being a little unusual, but Mike made it easier with his calm, easy-going manner and witty sense of humor. He is a wealth of information and always went the extra mile to explain all-things-real-estate to me. This was always reassuring and helped me to make the best possible decision, which led to the best possible outcome for the sale. When the sale was completed, Mike shifted gears easily and began to help me look for a home in the East Bay. He ended up referring me to an East Bay agent because Hayward, where I ended up making a purchase, was out of his area of expertise. But I appreciated that he was willing to do this to ensure that I would have the best possible chance to find a home that I loved. Evenso, he was still available to answer any questions that I had and to give his honest opinion. If you are looking for a great agent that you can trust as a seller or a buyer, Mike Yrazabal is your guy! read more

Mike is one of the best realtors I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He is patient, knowledgeable, and is always there when you need him. No question goes unanswered, he makes sure you have all the info you need before making a decision, no matter how big or small. Also not once did I feel pressured to do anything. I feel really lucky to have him as my agent! read more

The dedication of Mike Yrazabal to his clients is no less than his father, Robert. I'm writing this recommendation out of appreciation for their outstanding performance, thoughtfulness and care. I've known Robert for over a decade. I hired him 10 years ago to sell my house and, recently, hired him and Mike to sell my parents' house. From planning, renovation, staging to sell, this awesome father and son team took care of every little detail. They treated this house like it was their own: watering the lawn and overseeing the sanding of the hardwood floor, painting, window cleaning and interior cleaning. To help my parents find the best value for light fixtures, they even went shopping with me to pick them out. Equally valuable and appreciated is their experience selling homes in this SF neighborhood. Their analysis of home sales in the neighborhood leading to a recommendation of the asking price resulted in *multiple* offers, all far exceeding the asking price. My parents were extremely happy with Mike and Robert, not only for the final sale price and terms but the entire experience working with them. If there were a 10-star rating system, they would have earned all 10 from me and my parents. read more

If I could give Mike a perfect 10 I would! My husband and I are the proud owners of our first home in Pacifica. From the beginning he kept all lines of communication open. If we had any questions that needed answered we were always able to get a hold of him. My husband even texted him a few times about something that was really bothering him after business hours. And by after business hours I mean like 11:30ish at night. And guess what? He received a response back very shortly after. The entire process just seemed to easy and that's because we were well informed on all documents we signed and all steps taken. Mike wouldn't make a move on anything unless he felt we had a clear and concise understanding of what was being done. I appreciate the fact that he was always optimistic about our goal even when we weren't. Not once did we feel pressured which scores major points with me. We definitely made a great choice by going with him. read more

Expert knowledge of San Francisco market plus experienced and personable = extremely pleasant purchasing experience in a crazy market. Mike was there for us 100% of the way and kept the selling agent honest to his last promise. read more

I lived in my home as renter for 8+ year in the Bayview when the landlord died. Mike become the seller for the Trust that my landlord created before he died. Normally the person who is trying to sell the home out from under you could be seen as an "bad guy". That was not possible with Mike. He was patient and understanding of our stress of possibility loosing our home. We were unsure if we would be able to make an offer but figured out a way. I appreciated that that he sat down with us at the start of the process and explained his role and honestly answered questions we had. He honored that we were working people who couldn't have very many open houses and he respected schedule. During the process of the offer he was good at clearly stating what was his job and what was my "buyer's agent" job. The amazing part is that our offer was accepted! I am a teacher in SF and it feels amazing to me that I now own a house. Thanks Mike for the part you played in making my dreams come true. The only thing I wish he had done was change the "For Sale" Sign to say "In Contract" on the sign once our offer was accepted. Then we wouldn't have had so may daily drive by questions from folks still wanting our bid on our home. I love that he came by to congratulate us after the deed was filed and asked for honest feedback about how the whole process went for us. It is nice when some one takes the time to get honest feedback. Thanks Mike. read more

Highly recommend Mike Yrazabal if you're looking for a place to buy in the bay area. We just recently purchased a house in SF and Mike was solid from start to finish. All the open homes and eventual paperwork can seem overwhelming, but Mike is a professional: punctional, full of knowledge, helpful and calm during the process. Thanks Mike! We love our new home. read more
