When it came time to sell our Bernal Heights home, Alec Mironov was an obvious first choice for a realtor. As residents of the neighborhood, we had been following his newsletter for years and trusted his knowledge of the San Francisco market. Working with Alec completely exceeded our expectations. He is clearly skilled, easy to work with, an excellent communicator, and an effective negotiator. After an initial introductory meeting, Alec came back with a comprehensive plan to be executed by a roster of reliable team members and contractors. He outlined market conditions, a prep & sale timeline, and a strategy for pricing our home. As we moved forward with the plan, he communicated clearly at every step in the process. He coordinated and oversaw all prep work and staging, marketing of the property, and masterfully handled negotiations of the offers. We were never left guessing about the progress of the timeline and we were extremely pleased when our home sold quickly (to timeline!) and at a price that we felt great about. We couldn't recommend Alec enough for selling any Bernal Heights or San Francisco Home. He will go above and beyond to ensure a smooth experience in what may be one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. read more

From start to finish he stays one step ahead, and he made both transactions smooth and stress free. If you're looking for a top real estate agent in San Francisco, especially in the Bernal Heights area, Alec Mironov is your guy. I couldn't be happier with my experience and the results he delivered. Thanks so much, Alec! read more

We worked with Alec, Amy and the Pacific Edge team to purchase our home in the Inner Sunset neighborhood in 2014, and subsequently sell it in 2024. Throughout both processes, Alec and his team demonstrated an intimate knowledge of the Inner Sunset area and provided insightful market analysis and strategic advice. His team efficiently managed presale renovations, requiring minimal time and attention on our part. We greatly appreciated the team's hands-on approach from staging to marketing, resulting in a streamlined process. The strength of Alec and the Pacific Edge team's pricing and marketing strategy was evident when our home received 5 strong offers after just 12 days on the market, and ultimately sold for 25%+ over asking! We would definitely recommend working with Alec and the Pacific Edge team. read more

Alec is a fantastic Realtor and I'm incredibly grateful we found him! He helped us to buy our first home, and he was super creative and responsive and knowledgeable about everything we needed. Alec is friendly and professional, and totally knows his stuff. We felt like we were in good hands the whole time with him by our side. Throughout the process of searching, Alec found us properties that matched our criteria, helped us to really understand each property, and then helped us with bids and negotiating - and he continued to be very hands-on all the way through to closing and beyond. His in-depth knowledge of San Francisco housing stock and types, regulations, requirements, neighborhoods, and more - it's all extremely helpful. Oh and Alec's negotiation skills were exceptional, and he helped us to secure a great deal on the condo. I don't know how we could've done any of this without him!

Working with Alec Mironov was an absolute game-changer for us in the real estate world. We were on a tight timeline and had high expectations and Alec's dedication and expertise turned the sale of my home in Bernal Heights, San Francisco, into an exceptional experience. His meticulous attention to detail and proactive approach to prepping our property showcased his commitment to securing the best deal. Alec's professionalism and market insight were evident throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to the final closing.

Alec doesn't just sell homes; he crafts seamless experiences. If you're seeking a top San Francisco Realtor who goes above and beyond, Alec Mironov is the unparalleled choice. My gratitude to Alec and his team for their outstanding work in making our home sale an absolute success in a less than ideal market.

He was always timely and responsive to our concerns, managed expectations, listened and changed tactics based on our preferences. It always felt like he was in our corner, doing what was best for us. Not sure what else you could ask for. read more

We worked with Alec to buy our first home! We had very specific requirements of what we wanted and location, so it took about 5 months to find and close on the right place. Alec was very patient, he learned quickly what we were looking for and even tried to talk us out of seeing place that he thought would not meet our criteria. The place we decided to buy turned out to be a tricky transaction. Not only was it a TIC, we also needed the seller to do some work as part of the closing contingencies. Alec shined in a number of ways. -- He went over the TIC agreement with us bullet by bullet and highlighted sections that we should really understand. -- He connected us to a lawyer specializing in TICs who also gave some great advice. -- He put us in touch with a draftsperson to measure the square footage. -- He helped us negotiate the price based on the above findings. The thing that struck me the most was how Alec really kept our interests at the forefront during the whole process. At one point, when we were already in contract for the home, he pulled me aside and said "We don't really have to go forward with this if you don't think it would work for you. Don't feel obligated to do it just because we're far along." It ultimately worked out great, and we're so thankful for having Alec guide us along the way. One other thing I'd add is that Alec is knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. When we were looking at a different home which would have required a decent bit of work, we got on a zoom with him and he was able to give ballpark estimates for how much various things would run. It was helpful to put all the numbers into a spreadsheet and understand how much more we'd need to invest. We ultimately decided not to go forward with that place, thanks to Alec's expertise. read more

Horrible experience dealing with this SF real estate company that employees agents who are in it for the commission, nothing more nothing less. SF is filled with them. This one is very good at acting like they care about their clients. My sale was ruined because of this company. Operates like a chop shop. Will never deal with company. They make outrageous claims and then tell you that it's out of their hands. It's due to the market. Haha. Ok motley. Ok read more

I can't say enough about how great Amy is. Our family found Amy to help us buy our first home ten years ago. This year, Amy helped us with our second home purchase. This time around, it took 18 months and so many offers I lost count. To say that Amy is patient is an understatement. She never lost faith. She never asked us to reconsider our wish list. She never suggested that we increase our offer. We went on our own pace with Amy to guide us every step of the way. She offered so many great insights, suggestions, and strategies. She also knows everyone! We are so happy with where we are and so thankful for Amy. read more

I worked with Amy Clemens twice. Once to buy my home in 2017, and again in 2022 to sell the same property. She is outstanding. She has set the standard for me in what working with a fantastic agent can be like. I VERY strongly recommend her to anyone looking in San Francisco. read more

Amy Clemens is amazing. When we were meeting with different realtors, it was her calm, candid demeanor that made her our top choice. Her positive operating style carried through the duration of our interactions and I believe it also underscored the high interest level in our home and subsequent sale at a premium to our expectations. We lived out of state so having someone who had the capability to support all aspects of getting a house ready for sale was particularly important. In my viewpoint, the best parts of working with Amy were her: 1) Acute understanding of the market and ability to provide data to support her viewpoints 2) Comprehensive portfolio of quality vendors who are able to address most preparation needs. For example: a. The staging company recommended by Amy came in at half the cost that we used for a prior house and had the same quality look b. Her husband was the GC who stepped in to do the smaller carpentry/nits that did not warrant a separate vendor 3) Can-do attitude with a great balance between keeping you informed, asking for your feedback as needed and functioning autonomously If we had to do it again, I would engage Amy again without hesitation. read more

Amy was an absolute dream to work with! Thoughtful, responsive, and diligent, Amy helped us snag our dream home in an ultra-competitive market. Buying a home can feel super overwhelming, but Amy is an incredible resource with extensive knowledge about the SF market and its quirks. We are so thankful for Amy's guidance and highly recommend working with her and the Pacific Edge team. read more

Let me tell you about Vikki Hoven. Nine years ago, the market was hot. We were from the midwest, where prices were lower and people never bidded up. Our pockets weren't deep but as two retired educators, it was alot of money for us. We had been coming to San Francisco for about 14 years. I was looking on realtor.com. Agents typically ignored me when I hit the "contact me" button. Not Vikki. She contacted us immediately and I gave her a list of my wants, including my favorite busses and I wanted the property to be on bedrock. She stretched us a little both in budget and in areas. But her advice was on target. She was well versed in noticing deferred maintenance, and value different types of properties would bring. We ended up in our preferred area near our preferred busses. She nursed us through the considerable paper work. After it was all signed and delivered, she didn't forget about us. After you buy, you still have questions. I am happy living here but if I ever sell, or get rich and want a bigger place, Vikki is the only agent I will use. She is hard working, honest and frankly fabulous. read more

Amy and her team went ABOVE and BEYOND for my home sale! Her expertise in the market is clear from the first conversation and I found her to be a trusted service provider throughout. She was always prepared for our meetings and had thought through any potential questions before I even asked. She handled several tricky aspects to my home sale with professionalism. She also has an extensive team that helped me get my home ready for sale with efficiency and excellent quality service. I highly recommend working Amy and Pacific Edge for your home sale! read more

I can't imagine working with anyone but Amy Clemens and Pacific Edge. In the past eight years I've sold and bought two homes with them. Not only did they get the job done, but they were also extremely communicative and ridiculously patient with my never-ending need for updates. Buying or selling a home is SO stressful. Amy and her team always made me feel like I was their only client and for that I'll be forever grateful. I highly recommend anyone looking to buy or sell give them a chance! read more

This review is long overdue. We worked with Alec to purchase our house in Forest Hill in 2016 and he was absolutely incredible to work with. Let me rewind - we started our home buying process by looking on Trulia and getting "matched" with a random agent. We went to a few house tours with said agent and, by the third or fourth house, it became immediately clear that he was more interested in his outfit-du-jour than helping us find our first home. We quickly moved on from agent one and continued the process on our own with the help of the MLS. At one open house in the inner sunset, we ended up meeting Alec who was the selling agent at the time. We talked to him for a bit and liked that he was born and raised in the city, knew a ton about the market and neighborhoods, and more than anything was super friendly and informative. He never once came off as pushy as was the kind of agent you just trust. We immediately starting working with him and it was the best decision we made in the buying process. He was so helpful and never rushed us, even sitting down with us to explain each page of an offer packet as we signed (that's a LOT of pages). Alec advocated for us with other agents and did everything he could to get us the upper hand. Even on houses we didn't get, Alec's advice was always on point. We ended up finding our beautiful home in Forest Hill and couldn't be happier. If you're looking for a house in SF, I highly recommend Alec! As some Yelpers say, "if I could give 6 stars, I would!" read more

Amy and her team were absolutely fantastic to work with. As first time home buyers, we were unsure about many things but Amy was able answer all of our questions and help us through all aspects of searching for, competing for, and ultimately purchasing our new home. Amy's knowledge of the San Francisco market is certainly a differentiator. She is a delight to work with and a total professional. Thank you to Amy and her team for such a great experience! read more

Last year, I worked with San Francisco realtor, Alec Mironov, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Alec is the most patient and helpful agent I've worked with. He took time to really understand my family's needs and preferences, and he offered a ton of guidance -- and space to make the right decision for us. It was a pretty massive decision for us, but somehow his guidance lowered the pressure. And throughout, Alec was always available to answer my questions and provide guidance. His knowledge of the market, connections, and attention to detail helped us avoid a couple properties that honestly would've been pretty problematic. That professionalism and dedication to our best interest made him a pleasure to work with. I couldn't recommend Alec highly enough for anyone looking for a patient, knowledgeable, and supportive realtor in San Francisco. read more

I cannot express enough how thankful I was to have Alec on my team during my home buying process! From start to finish, Alec was professional, knowledgeable and responsive. His extensive experience and knowledge of the SF market and neighborhoods put me at ease, knowing I was in the best possible hands. He led me through the purchase of a multiple-offer TIC and I truly believe I would not have gotten this home without Alec's help. Janelle on the Pacific Edge team was extremely responsive and always on top of the million little things that need to go into a home purchase. She made herself readily available, which I greatly appreciated! read more

Alec and I go way back, and sometimes I hesitate to work closely with a friend. However, his expertise simply outshone the risk factor, and so I went for it--and am so grateful I did. We worked together over the course of several months while I considered a home purchase in San Francisco's Marina District. Alec was easy to get in touch with and always prepared to answer my questions along the way; digging up plans, laws, you name it, he went the extra mile regularly. When it came time to evaluate specific homes, Alec helped me review inspection reports, ran comparable sales and gave me specific guidance on how much each property was worth. His reputation precedes him, so this probably goes without saying, but I would recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch agent in San Francisco. read more

After months of trying to buy in the East Bay with no luck, we decided to buy in SF. Alec was referred to me by an old coworker who had an amazing experience, and let me tell you - we had exactly the same! After speaking to a few other agents in SF, it became glaringly apparent that Alec not only understood SF real estate, but had a passion for it. On our first call, he was very honest about what was in our price range, and what would be/wouldn't be a good investment. He listened to our concerns and requirements regarding weather, neighborhoods, the state of the house, etc. After providing us some excellent recommendations, we scheduled some time to view houses. We fell in love with one, and Alec worked with us to provide a competitive offer and we got the house! Throughout the entire closing process, and even after move in date, Alec and Cleveland were there to offer ongoing support, answer questions, and make sure we felt comfortable in our new home. They went above and beyond and could not recommend them more. When we had questions, they promptly responded and even stopped by to address them. Buying a home can be a stressful process, but having Alec and Cleveland an easy text away made the process smooth and easier than I would have thought. Thank you thank you Alec, Cleveland and the Pacific Edge team! read more

In an era where real estate transactions are getting more and more legally complex in San Francisco, the need for a detail oriented, legally savvy realtor has never been higher. I have worked with many many realtors over my long career, and Alec Mironov and his team at Pacific Edge are at the top. As a Seller, I cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

The Pacific Edge team helped us buy our first home, and they were great. Alec and Cleveland were very patient for months as we saw places that didn't fit our criteria and as our own priorities changed. They never rushed or pressured us. Moreover, as we started putting offers on places, Alec's experience in the sf real estate market helped us avoid a couple of probable mistakes. He provided information clearly and levelly, helped us think about the timelines for decisions and tried to give us as much runway as possible even when the timing was tight. When the right house came along, Alec and Cleveland jumped on executing the sale without a moment's pause. Finally, when a leak was discovered just before the sale (after the record-breaking rains in October this year) Alec's extensive connections to a number of contractors was invaluable. He worked with the sellers to get contractors through, organize quotes, and ensure the issue was fixed and everything was paid for before the sale went through. Overall, these are great people to work with, very professional, organized and well-connected with resources in sf. We couldn't have asked for a better buying experience. read more

The Pacific Edge team is absolutely at the top of the San Francisco real estate pyramid. Amy was our agent for our home purchase, and was definitely instrumental in helping us secure our dream place in a wickedly competitive market. She and her partners are always available, day or night, and we felt so well prepared knowing that we had a super-team of top agents by our side, advocating for us and teaching us about San Francisco's real estate twists and turns. Call these folks before you make a move in SF! read more

Alec, Amy, and Tyler were fantastic throughout the process of selling our home in Glen Park. We first met with them several months prior to listing, and they helped guide us through the home repairs and improvements that needed to happen before putting our house on the market. They were 100% respective of our needs as a family with young kids, especially when it came to staging and scheduling showings. (We lived in the house during the entire listing period--not easy, but they made it possible!) Their pricing strategy was spot on; they skillfully negotiated multiple offers and counteroffers; and they helped us get to a price and terms that exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them. read more

I had worked with Amy 10 years ago, she was great back then, so I reached out to her again last year, 2020 to search for a new house. She is just plain incredible! Both times, I was able to get the best price that the place could offer, not a dollar more!!! I actually got to know Amy because she was able to found a short-sale unit for my previous roommate for 50% of what it was sold for at SOMA in SF (back in 2009); surely, she continued to wave her magic wand and got me my dream places, even though it's 10 years apart! The most important thing is that Amy never gave up, even when I almost did. She spent as much time as I needed to look for places. My first condo took us 6 months and our second house took us 9 months! I seriously was half-given-up and it's Amy that alerted us the listing and dragged my feet to the place that finally became "the one". I had worked with an agent that said to me, "...just pick a place already! No one will plan on staying at the same place for 30 years..." on the 5th place that we looked at; so I switched to Amy. Gosh, should've done it sooner!!! Amy is very pleasant to work with and her knowledge about real estate is excellent! She gives you honest opinion and guides you every step of the way so that you can completely trust her either as a buyer or a seller. As a buyer, it is extremely competitive in Bay Area, not to mention during the pandemic lock-down period. I just can't believe that we were able to not only get one, but also a great one and closed in March 2021 without making ridiculous amount for an offer! Anyone can throw more money and get a house here, but you won't have to if Amy is your agent; just like us. read more

We had a fantastic experience working with Alec when buying our home in the fall of 2022. He's friendly, experienced, and responsive -- all the things that we were hoping to find in our agent! His experience with real estate in SF helped us to avoid some pitfalls and also helped us get our wonderful home at a great price. I have to say that working with his team post-sale has also been really wonderful, he has a lot of resources that have helped us do work on the house and move in. We learned a lot from him and feel grateful that we were able to work with Alec and his team! read more

I've worked with Amy on three transactions and cannot recommend her enough. She's very responsive and incredibly knowledgeable about the SF market. I know I can always trust her advice. Will absolutely partner with her again next time I need a realtor. read more

We were referred to Alec and Amy by a coworker, and they were absolutely fantastic to work with. As first time homebuyers, we expected the process to be daunting and stressful, but that was absolutely not our experience, and that was because we had a great team of realtors by our side. They went above and beyond to make sure that we were educated and prepared as we began our search. They ultimately helped us find and close on our new home in just over a month. We look forward to working with them again for all of our San Francisco real estate needs, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a realtor. read more

We chose Alec and Janelle at Pacific Edge Real Estate Group to sell our home in Spring '22. We interviewed several other agents we found online and through family referrals. The other agents were top notch but based on the quality of Alec's marketing, their approach to answering questions, quality of staging partner, and providing data to support their recommendations, we felt they were most confident in achieving the highest sales price presented out of all we spoke to. We liked their staging partner and photography the most as well. We moved out of the San Francisco during the sale and needed someone we could trust and work efficiently from far distance. They made it a priority to tag team with their team in showing the probably has much as they could. We had at least 6 open houses and private showings in between. Well, after prepping the property, staging, listing, and the open houses, interest rates increased, making it tougher on buyer activity. Amazingly, we ended up reaching a little above our original sale price goal which was a tough feat as no other agent we interviewed confidently said they could reach that number! We are super happy and glad we put our trust in Alec and Janelle! Alec has the ability to make stressful situations turn into clear paths to make easy decisions. We can confidently recommend Alec and team to anyone selling a home in San Francisco. If we ever move back we'll sure call on Alec and team to make magic happen again. read more
