So this is review is late and for that I do apologize. With that being said, my wife and I were…read morefirst time homebuyers March of 2021. 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.

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!

As we all know the San Francisco market is extremely competitive for buyers and there was no doubt Ashley was able to help my godfather navigate the home sale process as she communicated effectively and used her negotiation skills to get him the best offer.
