Their knowledge of the market, advice on bidding strategy, and their support both before and after the transaction is always excellent.

It is difficult to put into words how grateful I am for the Hatvany Team…read more Selling my mother's home was not simply a real estate transaction. It was part of caring for my mother, managing a trust, working alongside my sister, and navigating a situation that carried both practical and emotional weight. There were many moving pieces, including tenants in the property and all the complexities that come with selling a home in San Francisco. Throughout the entire process, what I appreciated most was the calm. There were plenty of reasons to feel anxious. There were unknowns, unexpected developments, inspections, disclosures, legal considerations, and difficult decisions to make. Yet every time I spoke with our realtor and her team, I felt reassured. They never seemed rattled. They never created drama where there wasn't any. They simply brought experience, perspective, and a steady hand. What amazed me was how seamlessly the team worked together. Whether I had a question about disclosures, contracts, inspections, timelines, or next steps, someone was always available to help me understand what was happening. I never felt alone trying to figure things out. At one point, the situation seemed especially uncertain because of the tenants. Communication was limited, and it was difficult to know how everything would unfold. Then an unexpected buyer appeared who loved the property and was willing to take on the challenges that came with it. Even as events unfolded in ways none of us could have predicted, our realtor remained calm, thoughtful, and focused on finding the best path forward. In the end, the house sold quickly and successfully. But what I will remember most is not just the outcome. I will remember how supported I felt throughout the process. During a time when I was trying to do the right thing for my mother and fulfill my responsibilities as a trustee, this team provided not only expertise but also kindness, patience, and confidence. They helped carry a burden that often felt very heavy. For that, I will always be grateful.

I don't know how to thank Minh Ava enough…read more.. I was struggling with figuring out if I should continue just renting in San Francisco or finally buy, even with the rising costs of the city. Minh Ava is insightful and has offered me wonderful advice on my best options with regards to properties in various districts. She knows San Francisco very well and has informed me on the pros/cons of certain neighborhoods. Additionally, with SF real estate being so complex, it's easy to get completely lost in all the whole process and be unaware of terms (like what's the difference between a condo and TIC), and she has explained everything without making me feel incompetent. Her honesty has helped me feel reassured that I've made good decisions in regards to where I want to reside. I'm so glad I got to work with her! Thank you so much!!

If you pick her as your Realtor I know you will be in great hands.

We've had the pleasure of working with Lamisse and her fantastic team on both the buying and…read moreselling sides of SF real estate, and we can say without hesitation--they are absolutely incredible. We sold our home during particularly challenging conditions, and Lamisse and her team moved swiftly. She has exceptional taste in terms of staging and advising on upgrades necessary to enhance the aesthetics of the home to ensure our home would look compelling. On the buy side, navigating the San Francisco market is no small feat, yet Lamisse managed to uncover a true gem--our dream home in a dream location--even in one of the most competitive markets to date (during COVID). Every step of the way, Lamisse was our steady guide. She encouraged us, stayed calm under pressure, and truly listened. Her deep knowledge of SF real estate, coupled with her strategic expertise, made all the difference. It's clear that she is a deeply respected professional in the area--and her connections were critical in our purchase. She even recommended that we can offer a bit less than we thought we needed to, which highlights her integrity and care to this process. We are beyond grateful to Lamisse and her team for going above and beyond for us, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in San Francisco.

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.

My family home in St. Francis Wood was ours for 56 years, and we abided by our mother's wish to age…read morein place there. After she passed away in late 2025, we made the difficult decision to sell. We vetted several realtors, and after the process, we were confident that Dale Boutiette and Alla Gershberg were the best choice as brilliant strategists, innovative marketers, and all-around excellent human beings. From day one, Dale and Alla attended to our project with professionalism and efficiency. They led two groups of creative designers and stagers on tours of the property to recommend and bid on smart, targeted upgrades which would appeal to the widest range of San Francisco buyers. We received comprehensive quotes, and their Director of Operations, Gabrielle, supervised the construction crew as they transformed our home. The dark hardwood floors were refinished to the original white oak, instantly creating a more expansive, light-filled interior. New kitchen counters, fresh paint inside and out, and the stager's furniture, lighting, artwork, and plants pulled the space together. We had meticulously maintained this house for six decades, but this evolution -- aimed squarely at today's buyers--generated market excitement and delight, resulting in dozens of private tours and bustling open houses helmed by Greg and Jasmine. Gabrielle crafted the social media campaign and real estate network marketing while providing oversight and executing every detail. Dale and Alla's strategy was brilliant down to the timing: listing in late February to catch the enthusiastic early market. The house went live on MLS, and in just 15 days we received 14 solid offers. The offer we accepted, and ultimately the sale to the next steward of 214 Santa Clara Avenue, was more than $1 million over the listing price. Because the home is situated in a national historic neighborhood and belongs to an HOA, escrow required extra paperwork, and Katia shepherded every document -- including the CC&Rs. The escrow team worked seamlessly with the sellers and buyers. This was, without exaggeration, a flawless experience -- and it came at a difficult time, while we were grieving our mother, packing up her life, and saying goodbye to a house full of family memories. Dale and Alla guided us with empathy and ingenuity through a smooth and successful sales process. We are beyond appreciative and highly recommend the dynamic DA Team! --Andrea Alban and family

From the very beginning, they were thoughtful, strategic, and incredibly organized. They advised us on pricing, timing, and positioning, and their approach worked exactly as planned. We received multiple (10+) strong, significantly over-asking offers, and it was a direct result of their strategy. Their communication was excellent, and we were included in key options and decisions throughout. That said, it became clear early on that "Let Go and Let Dale & Alla" was the best approach. They made what could have been a stressful process feel calm and manageable. What really stood out was how much they handled for us. From coordinating trusted repair professionals to staging and inspections, they managed every detail and made the entire experience feel easy. Dale & Alla are pros, and their entire team operates at an exceptionally high level. This was easily an A++ experience, and we recommend them without hesitation.
